==Safecracking==

Safecracking is an interesting hobby, and the purview of the safecrackers specilisation.  The crack command is only available to thieves who have 90+ levels of covert.lockpick.safes.  A set of cracking tools is needed to crack a safe.  Other tools may also be required.  There are different types of safes out there and they are generally hidden.  Ankh-Morpork is unique in the fact that many of them are not hidden at all.

Some of the tools required include: a small mirror, drill, rubber gloves. crowbar, and a hefty hammer.

The tumbler dial safe is one of the hardest puzzle types. Many people get stuck because they aren't correctly visualizing the device. It's essentially a [http://images.lowes.com/product/converted/071649/071649396502.jpg master lock] except with 100 ticks instead of 40. The key thing is, suppose the dial is at the number 5, and you turn the dial 1 degree ''clockwise'' -- what number is the dial at now?

Anyway, here is a set of aliases that can help to crack a tumbler dial safe.
