Reasoning in the post above.

Keep in mind, I am FAR from the person that thought that up. Blame Charlee for that mess. I just used the skill as I thought it was designed. If I had known when I took locksmith that the key would crumble in like 6 ticks, I would have never wasted the points honestly. I cannot think of a SINGLE use for locksmith now, because all the good chests cannot be locksmithed, keys dont last, and if I can get the key to copy it myself, whats the point of locksmith? I could just gather a key every few ticks. If a group of five gets a key, copies it, and it crumbles 2 ticks after the original key, the whole gathering was a waste, and I just can't see its use anymore beyond Adv lockpick.
