8648, Lockpicks

Any chance we can get compare to work on lockpicks?

I'm guessing the more expensive, the better, but it would be nice if you could compare them to see. I think somebody who used lockpicks would be able to tell if a set was better crafted than another.

1) You need the Pick Lock skill to get any information.

2) If you also have the Advanced Pick Lock skill, you get finer discernment- you can tell the difference between two sets of picks where a less specialized thief would call them equal, and you can also get an idea of how much better one is vs. the other.

Thanks, Valguarnera.
You are 'de man.

Since it seems we are moving towards more meaningful information (which is good)...
Could you update lock picking messages too?

So it would be evident when:
-Lock is pick_proof
-You need better pick
-You need to obtain higher level
-You need higher % in pick locks for this lock.

"You failed." message is just not very informative.

===
Also two small pick_lock related pleas for different Imms:
1) (For Nephente) Could you change so certain chest in NI could be picked by reasonably skilled thief?
2) (For Scarab) Could you change so certain bell would open in_room containers too, not just doors.

Regards,

That's probably a good idea. I don't know how I'd tell, either, and being able to figure it out in at least a general sense makes sense.
