In-Game Text

"And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

– Matthew 16:19, King James' Bible

The gift of a key to one's Homestead, Chest or House is one of most solemn trusts that can be bestowed upon a friend. Locksmithing gives you the ability to craft a simple bolt-lock, which can be installed on gates, doors, chests and the like to prevent it from being opened by outsiders, and also allows you to make new copies of keys for kith and kin.

Locks and Keys

In order to use any Master copy of key icon.png Key, it must be Attuned to a specific Lock icon.png Lock AND a specific person. Keys, once attuned, are personal and can only be used by one pilgrim, meaning that stolen Keys or found Keys cannot be used. Keys are automatically Attuned to their creator when they are made. Hovering over any Key will show the Key's name. If the name of the Key is Green it is usable by you; if it's Red it is not usable by you. Right-clicking on any Key allows you to rename it. Up to 8x Keys can be stored in a Keyring icon.png Keyring which can be equipped to the Keyring slot and will NOT be lost if you are Knocked Out. So long as the appropriate Key is in your inventory or Keyring, you may open locked structures simply by clicking on it. CAUTION: Once Gates are opened, they will remain open until you specifically close them or attach the Store Bought Spring icon.png Spring.
