Pick Lock broken?

Its Oct 2023 and i guess i had never tried to open a box too close to mailbox before…

Thank you for this. I was having the same problem. I read this and figured “bank, mailbox, similar idea” and turned around then walked away a few steps. Worked like a champ. Totally weird.

Hold the [Alt] key while clicking Pick Lock will also hold cast pending your 2nd click on the target item. Though it does not place a blue aura on the pointer, it works for me next to mailboxes.
However, I found this annoying and came here to find a fix or report it and I love that it’s a mailbox proximity issue. Claaasic dev bug. I’m ALWAYS next to a mailbox when picking locks. FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT!!! That or at least place an in-game comment in the tool tip to step away from banks & mailboxes before using :stuck_out_tongue: .

holy cow, thank you so much!

A year on…still an issue…literally walked away from the mailbox and worked fine.

Sat here disabling addons, logging in and out to try and work out what was going on. And all i had to do was move away from the mailbox :confused:

It appears the issue is being in range of certain objects “interact with target” may try to work with. For example, being near the “Mobile Banking” chest.

By moving away from that object, pick lock seems to work again.
