Oblivion Tip: Skeleton Key

At the level 30, my lockpicking is still stucked at 22. Well, this is expected as my oblivion player specialization is in magic. However, there is a quest to find The Eye of Nocturnal and the reward for this quest is a special item called Skeleton Key that will increase your lockpicking skill by a whooping 40 (O yeah, +40). This key wouldn't break and thus you can throw away all your lockpickers without a pain.

You must be at least level 10 to do this.
To get to the shrine, go to the city of Leyawiin and take the eastern road to the north. Keep an eye out for a bunch of people standing around, also look for the sign that says "County Kvatch". Take the bridge to the shrine and talk with the shrine. She will give you a quest to find the Eye of Nocturnal. First thing you need to do after you get the quest is to spy on a couple of thieves in Leyawiin. They will give you all the information you need on finding the right cave. In the dungeon, you will have to fight or sneak past a bunch of trolls. These guys are pretty tough but, the reward is well worth your trouble.
