Taschendiebstahl
, for the less-agile and uninitiated, is a unique ability allowing rogues in stealth to loot special items from hostile mobs without entering combat. If done sloppily, it can aggro mobs, annoy your party members, and make you look pretty clumsy. If done correctly (and with enough bag space), you can amass a collection of unique items, and if you’re lucky, some epics inside of a lockbox. There's a lot of mundane objects in the pockets of Azeroth, but one's trash is another's treasure--you might find something amusing like a trashy novel or loaded dice.
This is a guide using Wowhead's vast database to show you every fun item you can pickpocket in World of Warcraft. Either for vanity item collections or just to send your friend something fun, this list will help you rediscover Azeroth and more.
Pick Pocket: An Overview
Pickpocketing was primarily utilized to acquire lockboxes, which were then used to skill up one’s lockpicking. (In Cataclysm, this ability lost some of its charm as it no longer required manual skillups.) It was also heavily featured in rogue-only quests: I have fond memories of
Das Schicksal ruft
frustrating my level 10, and quests for Ravenholdt Manor and Sunken Temple requiring pickpocketed items. However in Cataclysm, stealth is no longer the answer and these types of quests have been downplayed, although rogues can still pickpocket the
Schlüssel des 'Grimmigen Säufers'
from
Stöpsel Zapfring
. Fortunately, most of the silly items remain, upholding the reputation that rogues are slightly sinister with entirely way too much booze and a path of
Leere Börse
s in their wake.
The most important item one can pickpocket in Cataclysm is
Entschlüsselungsring des Kryptomanten
from
Hagara die Sturmbinderin
. This is needed to complete
Bewährungsprobe
, an early quest in the chain for
Fänge des Urvaters
.
A few basic pointers about pickpocketing: to most efficiently pickpocket, get
Ausgebrannte Glyphe
and approach your enemies from behind to avoid detection in melee range.
Nachtpirscher
is an easily-obtainable and useful talent as it inreases your speed while stealthed. If you see a mob with a blue eyeball over its head—run away, it has increased stealth detection. A pickpocketed mob will take roughly 10 minutes to replenish its pockets: try farming and resetting a dungeon if you are impatient. You can pickpocket most humanoids and some additional mobs as well; a good rule-of-thumb is that if it looks like it has pockets, it probably does. And it never hurts just to stealth up and try your luck anyway; you can even pickpocket some bosses. Just make sure you don't right-click the mob in melee range and auto-attack it by accident.
Here is a basic pickpocketing macro that you can use:
#showtooltip Pick Pocket
/targetenemy
/cast Pick Pocket
/cleartarget
You can modify this a lot if you want to combine pickpocketing with other Subtlety abilities.
Lockboxes
Even without providing skillups anymore, lockboxes, the quintessential rogue item, still have some entertainment value.
Heavy Junkboxes
are used to increase reputation with
Rabenholdt
, a requirement of the achievement
Am Rande des Wahnsinns
. Most high-end lockboxes follow the same loot table: they contain some silver, with a chance of gems, healing potions, poisons, and possibly an epic. As your rogue levels, you will automatically be able to open higher-level boxes every few levels. The boxes are not BoP: they can be mailed to alts and friends if you want to stockpile them. The boxes cannot be placed on the Auction House, but their contents can be.
Ramponierte Plunderkiste
, from level 20-30 humanoids, requires 1 Lockpicking. It contains the fun item
Kleine Taschenuhr
.
Abgenutzte Plunderkiste
, from level 30-40 humanoids, requires 70 Lockpicking. It can contain
Großer Heiltrank
,
Citrin
, and
Jade
.
Stabile Plunderkiste
, from level 40-50 humanoids, requires 175 Lockpicking. It can contain
Überragender Heiltrank
,
Aquamarin
, and
Sternrubin
, with a small chance at
Darmreißer
.
Schwere Plunderkiste
, from level 50-60 humanoids, requires 250 Lockpicking. It has a high chance to contain
Sternrubin
, once useful for
Heckenschützenzielfernrohr
, and a small chance to contain one of the following epics:
Schattenklinge
,
Teebus Langschwert der Loderflammen
, and
Alcors Sonnenschneide
. As stated above, this type of junkbox is needed to achieve exalted
Ravenholdt
for
Insane in the Membrane
, in the quest
Plunderkisten benötigt
Starke Plunderkiste
, from level 60-70 humanoids, requires 300 Lockpicking. There’s a small chance to contain
Erstklassiger Heiltrank
or one of the following gems:
Edeltopas
,
Dämmerstein
,
Talasit
,
Lebendiger Rubin
,
Nachtauge
, and
Stern der Elune
, but the real fun is getting
Die Nachtklinge
or
Wirbelschnitter
. This started a tradition of lockboxes containing epic thrown weapons, as they’re generally scarce on boss loot tables.
Verstärkte Plunderkiste
, from Northrend humanoids, requires 350 Lockpicking. There’s a small chance to contain
Runenverzierter Heiltrank
or one of the following gems:
Monarchentopas
,
Herbstglimmer
,
Waldsmaragd
,
Himmelssaphir
,
Scharlachrubin
, and
Zwielichtopal
. There’s three weapons unique to this lockbox:
Die Dämmerklinge
,
Krolspalter
, and
Rückgratschlitzer
.
Flammenversehrte Plunderkiste
, from level 80+ humanoids, requires 400 Lockpicking. These can contain a ton of useful things. The
Schurkenschluck
is a unique twist on healing potions; it’s BoP and usable only by rogues—even more useful since healing potions are scarse this expansion. In addition to containing relevant gems (
Dämonenauge
,
Infernorubin
,
Heliodor
,
Traumsmaragd
,
Gluttopas
,
Ozeansaphir
), they can also contain items needed for inscription offhands and relics (
Gereinigtes Drachenhorn
,
Gebleichter Kieferknochen
,
Schuppenfragment von Todesschwinge
,
Konserviertes Ogerauge
,
Silberner Glücksbringerarmreif
).
The three unique epics are
Die Zwielichtklinge
,
Rückgratreißer
, and
Krolenthaupter
to complete the long line of Krol weapons.
In addition, the Reinforced Junkbox, Strong Junkbox, Sturdy Junkbox, and Worn Junkbox can contain the following macabre greys:
Grober Schnupftabak
,
Schäbiger Knoten
,
Tagebuch eines Schurken
,
Humanoider Schädel
, and
Geschnitzter Elfenbeinknochen
.
Pocket Corners: Flavor Items
In addition to lockboxes, humanoids contain a wide array of flavor items in their deep pockets. From romance novels to rivets, a rogue can pickpocket something incriminating for later blackmail. There’s also boring stuff like ooze and scraps: it's not as interesting to highlight, but you can find a full list of items from pickpocketing
here
.
Beverages
A rogue can pickpocket food and drink most any vendor can sell; we’ll concern ourselves with the unique items, namely booze.
There’s six beverages unique to pickpocketing:
Schwarzherzgrog
from Vash’jir,
Blutrotes Bier
from any Cataclysm humanoid,
Widerwärtiger Fusel
from Deepholm,
Balsamierungsflüssigkeit
mostly in heroic Shadowfang Keep,
Aufgespriteter Weinbrand aus Gilneas
from any Cataclysm humanoid, and
Sonnengeküsster Wein
from Uldum.
Store your beverages in
Leerer Flachmann
from drunken level 30-40 mobs.
Beauty/Cosmetics
While a rogue would never use cologne or perfume to give away a hideaway, it appears most mobs in Azeroth enjoy fragrances and beauty on the run.
Cologne:
Duftwasser "Würzwässerchen"
is unique to Uldum,
Kühle Brise
from Vash’jir is perfect for a fishy smell,
Taurisch Wasser
from level 80+ mobs is for Horde pride, and
Überwältigendes Duftwasser
also from level 80+ mobs is good for smelling like tobacco.
There’s a series of handkerchiefs either for applying makeup or gently dabbing tears away caused by Deathwing’s destruction:
Kariertes Taschentuch
from level 80+ mobs,
Gefaltetes Taschentuch
from starting zones, and
Durchweichtes Taschentuch
from Northrend.
To view your reflection, fix up your
Zerbrochener Spiegel
from level 20-30 humanoids. Use
Schwanzkamm
from Uldum on wild manes.
Keep your hands manicured during battle with
Chitinpolitur
from Northrend and
Klauenfeile
from Uldum.
Use a
Schuppenschwamm
from Vash’jir to freshmen up,
Kitzelnde Feder
from Deepholm on ticklish victims, and
Rückenkratzer
from Ashenvale on hard-to-reach places.
Adult Books
In times of great strife, Azeroth distracts itself with sensational literature possibly centered around
General Marcus Jonathan
, a strong and silent hero of Stormwind.
Ein schlüpfriger Romantikschmöker
, the original trash romance novel from Burning Crusade, turns murloc hunting into flirting between a warrior named Marcus and a Nahni, a female mage. Level 20 quest rewards were never so appealing.
Continuing in Wrath,
Ein schlüpfriger Romantikschmöker: Verbotene Liebe
documents Marcus’ experiences with a sarcastic undead rogue in the Deeprun Tram teaching him about finishing moves and daggers.
Argent Confessor Paletress has a hidden taste for romance; you can pickpocket
Ein schlüpfriger Romantikschmöker: Blaue Stunden
from her. In this latest installment, Marcus tries to woo Soola, a draenei jewelcrafter, with a cheap necklace. Will she spurn his advances or will the Light soothe all nerves?
Ein schlüpfriger Romantikschmöker: Dicke Messingdinger
, the Cataclysm installment, follows Revi, a sassy goblin, as she prepares for her date with Marcus by buying engineering-flavored toys. The series ends here, but you’ll need a secret goblin decoder ring to read the rest of the story.
To finish out the series,
Ein schlüpfriger Romantikschmöker: Nördliche Enthüllung
is a possible reward in
Sack voll geangelter Schätze
from Northrend fishing dailies. In this story, Marcus shares his retribution talents with a gnome lady eager to teach him about her affliction specialization.
The
Goblinherrenmagazin
, from 80+ humanoids, appears to have its pages stuck together as it’s unreadable.
Ein exotisches Kochbuch
may sound tasty from level 40-60 humanoids, but it will definitely curb your appetite. A spoof from The Twilight Zone, it talks about how to roast humans.
Lucky Dice and Talismans
A good rogue has a lucky talisman and some rigged dice.
The
Zehnseitige Zwergenwürfel
from Northrend humanoids rolls between 1-10 and is perfect if your rogue wants to officiate some Dungeons and Daggers.
Gnomes are sneaky:
Gezinkte gnomische Würfel
, from level 80+ humanoids, rolls sevens. Every time.
Abgenutzte Trollwürfel
from Northrend humanoids rolls between a 1-6. Any class can obtain these three die on the AH.
Glücksbringer
is an easy talisman most anyone can get; it’s from level 20 humanoids.
In case your original Rabbit Foot isn’t cutting it, consider getting
Andere Hasenpfote
, primarily from Twilight Highlands or
Glückbringende Raptorenklauen
.
Klingende Entspannungskugeln
are great for staying calm during raids.
Rocks
Rocks appear to be a popular item to pickpocket; perhaps they’re used in slingshots even though it's not very subtle.
There’s
Ein hübscher Stein
mostly from Razorfen Kraul,
Ein sehr hübscher Stein
from Northrend,
Versteinerte Blase
from Vash’jir, and
Korallenstück
from level 10-20 humanoids.
For impatient rogues lacking finesse, there’s
Primitives Steinwerkzeug
from starting zones and
Brechstein
from Mount Hyjal and Deepholm.
Sadly, the mobs that dropped the
Tierfelsen
have been removed in Cataclysm.
They aren't rocks, but the following items would make cumbersome weapons too:
Großer polierter Knochen
from Deepholm,
Stumpfes Taschenmesser
from Cataclysm,
Abgenagter Knochen
from level 10-20 zones, and
Glänzender Dingelhopper
from level 50 naga.
Humorous Junk
There are just some items that can’t be classified, but bring a smile to even the twitchiest rogue’s face.
Ersatzhand
is literally an extra hand, a weapon from Howling Fjord, Borean Tundra, and Dragonblight.
Eine Kürbislaterne
drops from level 60-70 demons and undead.
Säurepolierter Knopf
is a wildcard; it’s from level 20-60 oozes in Azeroth, with a fun flavor text and a decent selling price. One assumes the unlucky victim was dissolved by the acidic ooze.
Rundliches Relikt
from select mobs in Dragonblight and Grizzly Hills, is a fun item to thrown between players during raid, a racy version of the
Lustiger Spaßstein
.
Verrostete Bronzeniete
was meant to be used in the unimplemented
Eleganter Zylinderhut
.
Ein Gnomenbildnis
, from Burning Crusade, supports the theory that gnomes exist to be punted.
Großes Schneckengehäuse
looks fairly boring from Wrath murlocs, but includes the sarcastic flavor text “Sounds like the Land.”
Hieroglyphentafel
, from Uldum, is a reference to the Rosetta Stone.
The items may not be game-changing, but they add a certain charm to the class, show the humorous side of WoW, and provide collectors with a new batch of items to find. While you can't cast Heroism or tank the boss as a rogue, you can find really embarrassing items--and that's something.
