where to use lockpicks at 50 thieving osrs

In OSRS, lockpicks at 50 Thieving are mainly used for a handful of locked doors and chests, not for general thieving training. The most practical use at your level is grabbing them from Martin Thwait in the Rogues’ Den, since that shop is available with 50 Thieving and 50 Agility.

Best uses

• Ardougne-related doors and gates, including some around the castle and marketplace.

• The Hemenster arrow chest.

• Pirates’ Hideout in the Wilderness.

• Dorgesh-Kaan chests.

• Pyramid Plunder doors.

Common quest use

• Desert Treasure chest.

• Legends’ Quest door.

• Ape Atoll prison escape, which is a notable Monkey Madness I-related use.

What to do at 50 Thieving

If you only need lockpicks for a quest, just buy a few and keep extras in case one is lost. If you want a repeatable source, Martin Thwait in the Rogues’ Den is the cleanest option at your level requirement.

Practical note

You usually do not need lockpicks for thieving XP itself, so they are more of a utility item than a training staple. If your goal is a specific quest or chest, the exact location matters more than the skill level once you have the pick.
