Lockpicking is easy with the right resources. You need lockpicks and certain boxes to use them on. I have those if you'd like them.

Cartography is pretty straight forward: make maps (first city, then world). You don't need to max it out: just get it high enough to decipher the maps you'll be using.
 
Just to add to what the others have said here, 70 cartography can decode level 6 maps, so you don't need to go any higher. Sometimes it takes 10 tries, but it dies work. So thats 30 points you can put into something else. Also, at 95 lockpicking I seem to be able to open level 6 chests from tmaps, but if you want to use lockpicking to open paragon chests as well then you will want more. My mates found an ancient wyrm paragon chest and I couldn't open it.
