Pick lock skill 200 is necessary for kunark dungeons. It is a pretty fast skill up. takes about 30 minutes of sitting in befallen.
Sense traps/disarm traps is not that helpful in classic. Honestly I am not sure disarm traps is even working correctly because when I used it in solb the trap did not appear to shut down at all.
Poison can be useful, but it has alot of downsides. It requires that you also take up pottery or know a potter who will sell you vials. It is expensive and tedious to skill up, and its not worth using in most groups. Most worthwhile poisons are made from ingredients that you must loot, which makes it difficult to keep a good supply of the poisons you want. It requires not only that you skill up poison making, but also apply poison which makes it an even more difficult skill up. Personally I have been collecting a few ingredients and banking them and started on pottery skill, but chances are that I will not touch this again until level 60.
At level 17 I was grouping in oasis or upper guk. Both of those zones have decent traffic.
