Lockpicking
Lockpicking determines the chances you have in picking locks found on containers, doors and other objects. Please visit the Skill Compendium for a full overview of the perks.
Home Invasion Perk
The ability to break into homes is gated behind the “home invasion” perk which requires staff intervention. Apply for the feat by opening a player relations ticket in discord.
Applicants will have reviewed the Loot & Properly Conflict Rules prior to opening the ticket.
All players agree to all shard rules prior to applying up to and including the Loot & Properly Conflict Rules, even without the perk you will still be subject to these rules when breaking an entering.
Home Invasion: Rules & Considerations
Engaging in this system will very likely result in the death of your character. If being permakilled immediately upon being caught makes you uncomfortable, do not apply for home invasion. If you do not like PvP Conflict, or want to die to PvP, do not apply for home invasion.
In a situation where multiple people are utilize a players Home Invasion perk, if rules are violated during the heist, it may result in the revoking of your Home Invasion perk. Everyone upon applying to Requiem agree to the same shard rules, so violation of such will not be tolerated.
Players who have not demonstrated good understanding of the rules up to the point of applying for Home Invasion will not be approved.
Players who do not demonstrate good understanding after applying will have their Home Invasion feat removed.
There is no mention of PC or NPCs in the Shard rules re: theft because the world does not differentiate. These rules extend to NPC/Story Elements/NPC Factions. Know that by deciding to break into a NPC Faction/Named NPCs Houses/Business/etc, you are signaling to staff to invite those elements to behave. You are expected to leave evidence to move story in all cases, and subsequent investigation may result in the death of your character.
Ignorance of a situation will not free you of its consequences. Staff recommends you open a player relationships ticket anytime you are going to be engaged in Home Invasion so that they can help navigate the subsequent investigating attempts by players/NPCs the way you had intended and fairly.
Again, we repeat: Engaging in this system will very likely result in the death of your character. If being permakilled immediately upon being caught makes you uncomfortable, do not apply for home invasion. If you do not like PvP Conflict, or want to die to PvP, do not apply for home invasion.

Home Invasion: Mechanics
Reminder that rolelpay motivation is required in order to engage with breaking and entering homes. In engaging with this system you are consenting to PvP or PvSfaff Conflict that may result in the death of your character.
Doors auto-lock and re-close 1 hour from the lockpicker getting the door open. If you are still inside, you will be required to lockpick your way out. If the lockpicker has left you, you are subject to imprisonment rules.
Upon exiting the scene, remember that failure to leave evidence will result in staff doing it for you - this extends to all parties involved in the heist, as the more people involved, the less easy it is to cover your tracks.
