How do I level up my WoW lockpicking training to 375?
Posted on September 21, 2007 by ApadweI just started a rogue and I'm really wanting to know how I can level up my lockpicking training to 375.
Start as soon as your rogue lockpicking training will allow you to pick locks, which is at level ten. Get the skills and the items that you need to pick locks, and do as many as you possibly can. A great way to level up your lockpicking skills is to hang out in one of your faction's major cities and keep an eye on the general and trade channels for people asking for lock pickers. Make sure that you know what you can, and can't, pick, so when people ask you can say yes to them. There are always people who try to find rogues when they are in a major city to pick lock boxes for them. And, you can usually make a bit of extra cash as well!
You can also create a macro that advertises your WoW lockpicking ability and just hit it when you change general channels and you know that you will be in an area for a while. You might just be surprised at how many people will ask you to pick locks if you simply let them know that you are there.
As you quest through the World of Warcraft, you will join groups that hit instances. A lot of these instances will also give you a chance to up your skills, as there are always doors that need to be unlocked and usually, no one has a key to them! So, you can also level your lockpicking skills in instances as well.
As you level your rogue, get any new training or skills that are available for lockpicking. Also, make sure to get any new items that you might need to pick higher level locks. The higher your level, the higher you can take your lockpicking skill. When you hit the Outlands, the first major city that you come to should have a lockpicking trainer where you can finally gain that coveted 375 mark. Once you receive the training that will allow you to pick locks up to 375, then you can open just about anything.

actually, lockpicking is a skill trained early on, but is one of those skills that goes up with level, just like weapon skills and poisons. the maximum attainable skill at the moment for LP is 350. and that sould allow you to open any lockbox, chest (that dont require an event or special key to unlock), and the doors to arcatraz and shattered halls.

One thing people dont realize is that pickpocketing is kinda linked with Lockpicking and poisoning. When you Pickpocket you get some cash always, (that you donot share with others in your party, what me share?) sometimes potions, greys, very rarely a greeen and sometimes (I dont think there is aset percent) but quite often a locked junkbox. These are a different difficulties color rated, grey, green, Yellow orange and red. They raise your lockpicking except for greys. Inside you will find more cash, similar items as mentioned when pickpocketing and also materils to make your poisons. Try and pickpocket everything you can (thats how I found out ozzes have pockets). If you are pickpocketing mobs that are a couple of lvls higher than you I find that if you sap as soon as you get in range to sap, even if you fail they dont attack you.
The thing that amazes me is how many rogues I have come across that dont pp at all. My goodness its so much easy cash.
I hate seeing or hearing rogues advertize that they are opening lock boxes its so demeaning. If you into RP lockpicking is a nice way to have fun.
