 I'm a new bard, level 67 currently.  Decided I needed a change from my shaman and am making this new bard my main.

Well, I never got lockpicking, sense traps, or disarm traps up.  What is the best way to go about doing this? I know there was something about befallen back in the day, but I can't find much information when I do searches.  Anyone got the low-down? 

Face target with the lockpicks on your mouse and spam the "U" key.  There are many places to increase your skill in lockpicking but here are the most common.

Plane of Tranquility - Click book near zonein to PoK

Befallen -  Click on locked doors

Door to The Hole - Click on boulder

----------

Sense traps I believe you can bind to a key so it checks everytime you run, turn, backup... etc.  I increased both Sense and Disarm Traps in Timorous Deep (way back in the day) with the baziers at the beginning of the dock on Ogre island.  Island where The Great Oowomp spawns.

I'm fairly sure you need a trap for both now, best place is the wavy tentacle thingies in Echo Caverns near the needlite room. 

 Best place ive found to skill up lockpick is in Plane of Tranquility in the building you zone into from pok there is a spinning book, spam clicks as fast as you can there and watch the skills ups soar :) was max lockpick in maybe 20 minutes

I worked on Sense/Disarm Traps at the swinging-axe trap in Sol A.  It's right by the entrance from Lavastorm, in the loop of path you bypass if you crouch through the window.  So don't go through the window.
