i've had good luck raiding the naga and ogres in feralas.

This item comes from pickpocketing monsters around level 40. There are other lock boxes as well for higher levels with better items inside, and require a higher skill level.

This is one of the main ways a rogue gets Lockpicking skill ups. These boxes come from various humanoid monsters when pick-pocketed, and have to be lockpicked to be opened. Not only does this give skill, but it also can give various things for rogues (poison ingredients, junk loot to sell for money, or even gems).

Commento di Squirrely

Just got a Catseye Ultra Goggles schematic from one of these lockboxes. Didn't know you could get any other uncommons from these boxes besides gems but there you go.

I got one from Pickpocketing a Mosh'Ogg Ogre in Stranglethorn Vale.

Commento di 45438

Pickable at skill 175. At 200 is yellow, 225 green and 275 is grey. Pick pocketed from 42-52lvl mobs. Contains poisons reagents. Rarely any gems. Likely also healing pots.

I'm still trying to believe it myself, but I just got Gut Ripper (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=2164) outta one of these things pick pocketed from a Troll in Hinterlands!

Seen a few green gems, even an item or two previously, but never expected anything like this would come from a 'junkbox'...

One nice place to get these are in the Slag Pit in the Searing Gorge. In addition to the Taskmasters and Slavers, the Slave Workers are also pickpocketable and not hostile. Just stealthing through the many levels you can quickly get quite of few of these. Pickpocketed mobs that you don't kill will also renew their pickpocket loot after awhile.

This macro with autolooting enabled makes it much easier:

/cast Sap

Edit: removed reference to skilling up your pickpocket and lockpick skill as that is obsolete.

I've actually had this contain
Gut Ripper

No joke.

Commento di Thottbot

175, turns orange - which means you might have to attempt multiple times.
But from here on out, you rogues, you'll have to rely on friends letting you pick their locks :)

ENJOY!

Commento di Thottbot

the doors there are ona timer, so u can do them both once, then ur stuck stealing for the next few hours...

Commento di Thottbot

Actually i think there's a way to go around the timer problem..

If you pickpocket humanoids for lots of junkboxes and then go to SM to pick the doors, then to pick a box, pick a door, a box, a door a box etc..

That way i think the timer is set to none.. but only as long as you pick something in between. Iv actually never tried it but i'v heard it works.

GL abusing ;-)

Commento di Thottbot

thnx all 4 info finally got my lockpicking up 2 225 afta ages of picking in orgrim really painful process :)

Commento di Thottbot

Or just pickpocket humanoids. Pick them all and you'll get enough boxes for your lockpick to keep pace with your level.

Commento di Thottbot

the best way to lvl lockpicking, after picking zanzil's box until its greyed out, go to the Pool of Tears in Swamp of Sorrows, just keep circling around the pool looking underwater for Footlockers. Got to 220( my cap) in about an hour

Commento di Thottbot

I circled Pool of Tears 5 times didnt find 1 footlocker i have no idea what your talking about are the close tot he shore or down deeper

Commento di Thottbot

You can't lvl to 200+ in the barrens on lockpicking. Come on guys.

Commento di Thottbot

im not a rogue but just by farming pirates in tanaris i found a good 10 boxes on the ground at a time. the pirate lvls may be a bit high for people who want lockpicking skill early, but there is definantly some loot to be had

GL

Commento di Thottbot

OK, OK i know, i'm a 60 with out lp 300 but i'm gettin there...here is how if you are 50+(real easy at 60), go to Zul'Farrak, even though you don't see it alot on there i get about 12 boxes per run and each run is about 20 min long, NOT BAD AT ALL EH?....anyways i am at 174 i can't wait to get to 175 so i can pick the 42 sturdy lock boxes i have saved up. :D GL y'all

Commento di Thottbot

im 46 rougue and i pick pocheted humanoids and i had loads of lockboxes. When i was in SM i couldnt pick the doors because you needed the key. And with the boxes i had, i had no skill increase though they were green. i have 163 skill and i cant get any higher. Help me plz :(

Commento di Thottbot

Where is a good place to level LPing at 170? I am an Alliance NE Rogue

Commento di Thottbot

A good place to go from 175 to 225 is Angor Fortress in the Badlands, lots of footlockers on the ground, though you will have to kill people to get to them.

Commento di Thottbot

I'm not sure what level I need to be to open a sturdy junkbox i have around 50 in my bank and im mad.

Commento di Thottbot

You must have 175 in LP skills to open the sturdy lockboxes

Commento di Thottbot

I just tested the theory of the SM Doors...

open the door, then open a locked box, then open the door again...repeat.

It worked but NOT every time. It was cool when it did work.

I wanted to mention another way I found that works, again NOT every time, but it works. (for those that can stealth...heehee)

Open a door, then open the other door...then make a 'rotation' around the first little area and pickpocket those that are standing there. 1 against the left wall, the 2 in the middle talking, the other guy on the right wall...every once and a while the 2 guys will walk down the halls...do it to them too. Then go pick the doors again. It worked for me 3 times in a row and took like 2 minutes. Thats up 6 points in 2 minutes. Now by doing this, you may even get some lockboxes to open and test the other theory out too.

**NOTE--I know you can only pickpocket the guards once in a certain time, but it's the "action" of you doing it that seems to reset the doors...even though you are not getting anything in the process.
Good luck!

Commento di Thottbot

When do they turn grey by the way?

Commento di Thottbot

First up, if you want Sturdy or Heavy Junkboxes and you're around level 50+, try picking the pockets of the male mobs on the shores of Azshara; I picked up 20 Sturdy's and 5 Heavies in the space of a few hours of Naga-killing fun.

Secondly, I'm sure most seasoned rogues would agree that being level 51.8 and having an LP skill of 160 is pretty slack...so I took the SI:7 serving suggestion and headed to Sar'theris Strand in Desolace. Even just swimming around near the shore (36,22 and thereabouts) I managed to average 1 LP skill point every 1.5 minutes. And that without the use of special charms or potions for underwater breathing.

Contrary to a post above about the area, the boxes are actually quite easy to spot with a trained eye, and most times I was able to spot 2 or 3 at a time. The trick is to tread water just below the surface, look down and scan the area for boxes, then when a box or 3 is spotted, pop up to the surface for air, dive down, open the box(es), return to the surface for air again, rinse and repeat as required. Just be mindful of the Naga in the area, which for higher levels are simply a nuisance, but could cause some upset for under 35's.

Also both Waterlogged and Mossy boxes were reported in this area. I don't know if anything has changed in the past month, or my luck is just bad, but I have yet to come across a single Mossy box, and I have scoured Sar'theris Strand and the surrounding area quite thoroughly specifically looking for them. Perhaps others will have more luck.

Commento di Thottbot

Getting 170-175 skill is easy in Desolace.
The exact coords of some Waterlogged Footlockers are

36.6 25.4
36.9 24.2
37.6 22.9
39.6 20.7
39.2 19.9

Its resp time is about 2 mins.

Commento di Thottbot

I went to ZF at lvl 70 and picked everything in the instance. Each run got me about 12-15 skill. I started at 200 and went all the way to 250 pretty easy. Lots of sturdy junkbox's there.

Commento di Thottbot

The Gut Ripper dropped for me today from one of these! :D

Commento di Thottbot

ok its fora quest in the stronghold (the rogue one near tarren mill)

Commento di Thottbot

just wondering what lockpicking skill do you need to open Sturdy Junkboxes, and what skill level does it become gray... im currently 206 lockpicking at lvl.70 and am tired of running Outlands instances and not being able to open chests...

Commento di Allakhazam

The tower in the bottom right hand corner of Westfall were you do the rogue quest earlier on. Has a chest called the Duskwood Chest you have to click the little Unlock Key before you can unlock it (otherwise it shows up non-selectable) and its good until 175. Other than you get the touch of Zanzil which lasts for 7-days

Commento di Allakhazam

yeah these require 175 to unlock. I hit 175 from the Darkshire Chest that is at the top of that tower in Westfall. The chest has a respawn of about 10 seconds, so it took me 20-25 min. to get about 8 lvls here. Then it was off to opening all of these at 175.

Commento di Allakhazam

Anybody know what mobs you can pickpocket to get these consistently? (aka like the Syndicate mobs in Durnhold for the battered junkbox)

Commento di Allakhazam

Anyone know of a good place to get the last 10 levels I require for the horde side in lockpicking? Picking lowbie green boxes is getting old.

Commento di Allakhazam

The humanoids in Searing Gorge also have alot of these.

Commento di Allakhazam

I've been skilling on the lvl 40 Goblins in Stranglethorn Vale. I've pickpoecketed every single goblin there without getting detected, Mostly 2 Sturdy Junkboxes per round. Not to mention after I pickpocket em, People come and kill em and the cycle restarts. Or, since I'm lvl 47, I kill them myself.

Anyways, It's a great place to skill up lockpicking from 175 on...

Commento di Allakhazam

Anyone have a REQ skill in lockpick to unlock this ?

Edited, Sun Jan 16 07:19:22 2005

Commento di Allakhazam

i just did that Darkshire Chest but it turned gray at 170 so where can i get thos last 5 lvs?

Commento di Allakhazam

I picked a LOT of these from the Bloodsail Raiders and Mages in STV too....

Commento di TerribleAtGames

This item is neither sellable to vendors or AH. Do not know if tradeable or if they simply have to be destroyed in other to get rid of them for us with class/spec which can't open these.

Commento di Ulrikekekeka

Lockboxes and chests can be opened by rogues using the Pick Lock skill learned at level 16. Your max level lockpicking skill is determined by the level of your character. The basic formula is 'char level x 5'. So, a level 16 rogue will have a max lockpicking level of 80, a 17 rogue would be 85 and so on up to a (currently) maximum of 300.

Once you have learned the lockpicking skill, you will also need a set of Thieves' Tools. You do not need to buy these, you should receive them during the 'lockpicking' quest.
Once the quest is completed, you can place the Pick Lock onto your toolbar from inside your spellbook. You then click this button and then click the lockbox/chest you wish to open.
As with most levelling professions, the items you want to unlock will be colour coded with the relevant chance of gaining a level point:- The word 'locked' will be red, orange, yellow, green or grey.

Red = Skill level too low
Orange = 100% chance of gaining a skill point
Yellow = Good chance of gaining a skill point
Green = A slight chance of gaining a skill point
Grey = No chance of gaining a skill point

Lockboxes can also be opened by using a skeleton key created by blacksmiths. These are NOT to be confused with the Skeleton Key which is used to open the entrance to the Scholomance instance.

The table below shows the minimum lockpicking skill level required to open each type of lockbox and which blacksmith skeleton key will open it (if possible).

Type of Lock/junk box	Lockpicking skill required	Blacksmithing key required
Ornate Bronze Lockbox Battered Junkbox	1	Silver Skeleton Key
Heavy Bronze Lockbox	25	Silver Skeleton Key
Iron Lockbox Sturdy Locked Chest Worn Junkbox	70	Golden Skeleton Key
Strong Iron Lockbox	125	Golden Skeleton Key
Steel Lockbox Ironbound Locked Chest Sturdy Junkbox	175	Truesilver Skeleton Key
Reinforced Steel Lockbox Mithril Lockbox Thorium Lockbox Eternium Lockbox	225	Arcanite Skeleton Key
Reinforced Locked Chest Heavy Junkbox	250	Arcanite Skeleton Key

Commento di Fier11

I got a few from the grimtotems in Feralas. Probably not a bad option if you dont wanna do ZF.

Commento di Monomatapa

Picked up loads of those boxes, by picking pockets at the Ruins of Zul'Mamwe At stranglethorn vale. Unfortunately, I was had just a skill of 147, so I couldn't open them. Meh...
