Highest Open Locks skill needed in BGEE?

Be careful with trap finding, even with 100 skill. Find/Disarm Traps has a very short range, and it only activates once per round. If you're walking about too fast thinking that you're safe, you will walk into traps before the skill detects them. I always think that being a D&D thief must feel like being on a bomb squad.

I find it helpful to back up my thief by having one of my divine casters keep a Find Traps spell active, especially in trap-heavy dungeons.

I can see how that could be helpful in seriously trapped dungeons (like Durlags) but would prefer not to have to use a spell slot for this in most situations.

how long is a round in seconds anyways?

Real-time or in-game?

The trap in upper Durlag Tower, where the Tome of Understanding is, requires more than 100 in Detect Traps.

Is that possible without using potions/scrolls?

You can put points in Detect Traps over 100 but I don't think it's worth it. That trap is not lethal.

I always go for 100 in both find traps and open locks, once you get that do whatever you want as that'll help you - if you want to micromanage more you could go for a lot lower and use potions in places where you know what to do! (meta-gamer)
