Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Lock Picks
**SPOILER WARNING**
I've noticed some traffic from search engines for people looking for information on where to find lock picks in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion so here's some quick information. First, join the Thieves Guild. You can do this one of two ways. First, you can read the various Wanted posters posted around the Imperial City. After reading one, ask a beggar about The Grey Fox (you'll have to make it worth his while). This will let you know about a midnight meeting in the Waterfront District where you can inquire about joining the Thieves Guild. This is by far the safest way to join. The other way you can find out about this meeting is by getting arrested and spending a night in jail. After you are released from jail you will be visited by someone (I haven't gone this route so I don't know the name) when you sleep again who will tell you about the midnight meeting.
Once you've completed the Thieves Guild trial and made it into the Guild, you can buy lockpicks for 5 gold pieces each from Armand Cristophe, the Thief you met in the garden in the Waterfront District, and from the various fences, the first you have access to which is Ongar in Bruma.
The other way of finding lock picks which is more random, is by adventuring in some ruins/dungeons as you often find lock picks as loot on the many enemies you can kill. Surprisingly, I've even found a lock pick on a Rat. Bandits almost always seem to have lock picks on them as well. Get as many as you can as they break often.

8 Comments:
As soon as you can, complete the quest for Nocturnal (Daedra Shrine quest). This will give you a skeleton key, a lockpick that never breaks.

I am leaning toward X-Box 360 because of Halo 3. Is Elder Scrolls a worthy game. I dug Morrowind, except fo the bugs. That blew goat.

Never really got into Morrowind and its counterparts, but its quite nice of you to oblige those in need of information.

Nah mate, tis wrong.
you can only buy lockpicks from the thiefguy with the torch before and during the initiation mission...
Or maybe its something in the conversational bit i can't find?
