Put points into the Thievery and Sneaking skills to earn a lot of gold by pickpocketing in town. Do not forget to move the dressing panel in the missing balcony wall to find another unlocked chest outside the chamber. Take all available items and sell them for easy gold.
The chambers are full of expensive objects to steal, including paintings and another locked chest you can get open with the right skills.
Note: If you do not have the Teleportation skill, acquire the Glove Of Teleportation from 'The Teleporter' quest. Lockpick the door (it helps to have a diverse team) to enter Orivand's Chambers. Teleport up to the balcony, then drop the ladder down to easily access the locked door. To get a lot of gold, find the raised balcony with the high ladder on the balcony in Fort Joy. At the start of the game, you will not have much gold.
