In Oblivion Remastered, you can buy lockpicks from the following sources:
- Shady Sam : The easiest and most accessible merchant selling lockpicks. He is located outside the Imperial City walls, northwest side near the Elven Gardens district. He sells lockpicks for 6 gold each and has a daily stock of up to 30 lockpicks, which refreshes every day
- Thieves Guild Fences : If you join the Thieves Guild, you gain access to fences who sell lockpicks. The first fence you meet is Ongar the World-Weary in Bruma. He sells lockpicks for 6 gold each and usually has a larger stock. However, this option requires you to activate the Thieves Guild questline
- Other merchants in the Thieves Guild : After joining, you can buy lockpicks from various fences who regularly restock a large supply
Additionally, you can find lockpicks by looting chests and enemies such as goblins and bandits throughout the game world, which is a free but less reliable method
. To summarize, the best places to buy lockpicks in Oblivion Remastered are Shady Sam outside the Imperial City and fences in the Thieves Guild after joining it. Shady Sam is the simplest option if you prefer not to join the guild
