Kommentar von Orik

You can't miss it. It's the saw house on the path to the keep.

Kommentar von Ebonstar

Need Lockpicking of 25 to open the chest. Coordinates at 52,41. Training Chests go yellow at 30 and green at 55.

Kommentar von 43040

This location is very easy to find using the coordinates: 52,45.

If you stand at a particular spot. You have the ability to unlock 4 of the five Practice Lockbox's there. (Screenshot Provided).

Just in case. The words "Practice Lockbox" will ALWAYS be yellow. The word "Locked" changes colors the way Ebonstar says.

You should stay there with the practice boxes until you cannot level your picking skill anymore (when the word "Locked" becomes gray).

The boxes respawn very quickly, and sometimes they are booby-trapped. ( I had the Frost Hold Magic trap. )

I was able to gain 101 skill points from this location. I went there with a skill level of 4; and left there with a skill level of 105. Not Bad - Now I go back to the Zoram Strand!

There are numerous creatures outside. But you do not have to worry about them coming in to attack you (at least I did not have to). My stealth was good enough to walk past all creatures - INCLUDING horde. So it is possible to make it there without a fight. In case you are just trying to get your picking skill up.

Good luck,
~Lie

The max level is now 80 i belive, i theived for another 4mins or so after 80 and nothing happened.

Kommentar von 42229

just leveled up to 100 with these

Kommentar von mashby

I leveled up from 5 to 100 (my max for my XP level) on these boxes. Once inside the mill, I was never attacked and was able to focus on just lockpicking.

By standing in location on the screenshot, I was able to pick 4 lockboxes without having to move which was nice. This was especially handy around level 65, which is when the lockboxes went green, because from then on it took multiple boxes to level up.

By the end, it took about 20 boxes to get from 99 to 100. The boxes were still green at 100, but I had maxed out my level, so there was no point in continuing.

Kommentar von 53203

Y'know that since the guys lockbox that you need to open requires a skill higher than level 1 to open and the others dont, you can build yourself up even more if you use that one when the others go grey. You might even be able to build yourself up faster just repeatedly picking that one when the others go GREEN...this would have to be done before you turn the quest in though, as you would need to constantly destroy the item that you loot in order to pick it again...kind of a hastle, but it might be easier than going to the next picking area.

Kommentar von Thottbot

In the room is a box marked "Lucias's Lockbox". There's also a number of practice locks.

Use the practice locks until you reach level 75. Once you reach about 25, you will never fail again.

Once you reach 75, you can open Lucias's lockbox. I'm stil not sure what the certificate is for, but I got 1550 XP for finishing the quest.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The certificate is to hang on the wall and show everyone that you are a certified klepto.....won't your mother be so proud!...but seriously, it is just a certificate, you don't use it for anything. The purpose of the quest is to get you trained up in lock picking so you are able to use the skill for the other quests to come that involve picking locks. The very next rogue quest involves picking a lock in the tower in SE Westfall.

Go to Lakeshire

*Ironforge < Stormwind < Lakeshire, Or if you havent been there yet, Follow the road East of Goldshire until you come across it*

Head north up a path for about 10 seconds, then turn Right on a dirt path, Walk a little and you should see what looks like a lumber mill, there are about 6 pracitce lockboxes there. They keep respawning too, They should get you to at least 100 lockpicking in 5 - 10 minuites

Kommentar von Thottbot

The following areas provide footlockers that can be used to upgrade Rogues' lockpicking abilities.

Hillsbrad Foothills - Durnholde Keep
Redridge Mountains - Lake Everstill
Ashenvale Forest - Zoram Strand
Stonetalon Mountains - Windshear Crag and Associated Mines
Wetlands - Murloc Camps
Desolace - Sar'theris Strand
Badlands - Angor Fortress
Swamp of Sorrows - Pool of Tears
Searing Gorge - The Slag Pit
Tanaris Desert - Lost Rigger Cove
Azshara - Bay of Storms
Eastern Plaguelands - Tyr's Hand (elite

Keep inmind that you will want to lockpick in the area that is current for your level if possible. if for example if you are 50th and your lockpicking is 100 you will need to go back to some lower level areas and then work your way up to the more difficult. hope this helps.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The coordinates for Alther's Mill are 51, 45

Kommentar von Thottbot

The box is at 52:44

Kommentar von Thottbot

Now Alther's Mill is down the road east of Lakeshire. Follow the road east from Lakeshire till you come to a fork in the road, head down the right path (dirt path) Watch out for the lvl18-20beasts. The mill should be a building with a big saw in the middle.

At Lvl 16 the maximum lockpick skill you can get is 80, so practice on the locks till you get 80.Your maximum lockpick skill increases by 5 every time you gain a level

The reward he gives you is useless and can be destroyed or put in the bank. It has no furthur use so its trash.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Pretty simple, you pick the locks here at 51,44.
I stood between the 2 first ones to the right and just kept clicking between them, took me 10 minutes to get to lvl 80. Even if you get hit with frost nova or rat nova, it is irrelvant, you just keep picking and it wont effect your skill lvl, it wil lkeep raising. As to the guy who is in darnassus, Pay a mage 50 silver to port you to IF, from there get the FP then tram it to SW, you can run to RR from there. As far as lvling is concerned, its easier to lvl on that continent then Darn anyway.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The mill is just north of Lakeshire off the main road, first right (east) at fence, sneak past spiders and you are there. I got up to lvl 72 without being interrupted once, although found myself alternately in an ice block and in rat form. When another rogue showed up to practice I was interrupted all the time, so try to get the place to yourself. I lvld to 90, but opened ten more boxes without lvling further, 1550xp for a lvl 18 rogue. Lucius's box turned yellow at 50 and green at 75 for me. Good luck.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Screenshot.

North on path going through lakeshire hang a right on the small grass/dirt trail.

Kommentar von Thottbot

OMG! I thought you had to go to 100 for the box, I was like "... God damnit!" So I kept constantly doing it, 1-70 Easy 70-80 Pretty Easy 80-90 Medium 90-100 Very difficult (for practice locks). Getting from 91 to 92 took me like 30 tries, lol. I only managed to get to 92 and was like "You know what... Im gonna just try to unlock the quest box." And of course, I opened it (easily :P) Then I went back to this page and saw someone say "For box to be opened, you have to have skill lvl 25. I was like "oh..."

lmao, so I hope you all know what to do now (for sure.)

Kommentar von Thottbot

I don't know about any more problems but chatter, alvl 23 rare spider was in the mill the whole time. I had to get my alt to go clear him out.

BEWARE

Kommentar von Allakhazam

simpley 5x lvl is your max lock pick.

I did quest at 16 so mine is maxed at 80....

I do not know the max of the boxes but im sure it's over 100.

Hope this help's some of you.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got my skill up and finally opened the box to find squat. That's right there was not one thing in the box.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

these boxes max at 105 just did it this morning

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The lockboxes here let you go up to skill 90 lockpicking easy, after 90, I picked locks about 10-20 times without getting skill, they were still green though, but still nothing. This is by far the best way to get some decent lockpicking skill.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

climb up on the rocks and head for the mill, once u are there, its easy (and boring) to sit there and op0en boxes for practice. no one bothered me while i did it.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The lowest you can open the box is at 25 Lockpicking. I checked Thottbott and a few people have done it at 25 so that is the lowest I believe.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I started training on practice lockboxes at lvl 1. At lvl 25 opened Lucius's lockbox then continued training till lvl 100. That's it. So you DON'T NEED lvl 75, or 50... readin these posts confused me since I was only lvl 1 was afraid I can't do the quest ... from lvl 80 to 100 training is going slower and at 100 it stops.
PS : coords 52,44

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Again, no-one mentions if there are any creatures on the way to the mill, blocking the way *in*, or guarding the room. Are there? Is it going to be safe to just stand there and practise picking locks?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

anyone know what to do with the Certificate?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Lockpicking max is 5xlevel. These boxes are really easy to practice on since they respawn instantly. Basically, there is no reason not to simply max out your lockpicking skill on the practice boxes - be it 75, 80, 85, whatever. The next step in improving your lockpicking skills is the lockboxes in the lake, and they take way longer. You don't want to be getting lots of "failed" messages when you're holding your breath!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

what do we do with the reward? lol

edit1: ok, just saw the word "junk" inside the item. I guess that answers my question...

Edited, Sun Feb 27 11:54:48 2005

Kommentar von Allakhazam

there is chatter in the mill

Chatter 23 elite spider

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This ticks me off I spent about a gold on practice locks just to find out that I could have just gone from 0 to 80 with those locks :( I am not happy...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I opened it with a lvl 30 skill

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This is not true, you don't need 75 lockpicking to open it. I could open it at 25 lockpicking. :) But maybe it's different between eu/us servers? I donno.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I am up to 102 now from picking these five boxes. It might depend upon your level or attributes?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

For those who uses Cosmos,
it's located at 52, 45

You'll find the mill on your way down from the NE to SE path but beware of Orcs and dragons and other mobs.

Best way in is to Stealth you way into the mill and practice lock picking.
Occassionally, you'll get Frist Nova'd or Rat Nova'd from the lock traps. Just keep preatcicing until the quest box goes orange instead of red.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

go up north-north-east along the road from lakeshire. i would stealth, since there are lots of things that are likely to aggro you if you don't. To get to the mill you turn right when you get to the top of the hill. There is nothing guarding the mill (51,45), just mobs around it.

start in on the 5 practice boxes. the word "locked" in the tooltip is orange meaning you will skill up with every successful pick. The fails are about 50% at the start, but once you hit 20, almost every one is a success. Until you hit lvl 25, Lucius' Box will have a red "locked" meaning you can't pick it. At 25 it turns orange, and you can finish the quest.

At 30, the practice boxes turn yellow skill lvl but you still get a skill up almost every time. Around 65 they turn green and you start getting a lot more successful picks without a skill-up.

Go ahead and max your level, since while boring, this is the fastest, easiest and cheapest way to lvl your LP skill up to about 100 (possibly a max of 105)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The mill is east of lakeshire, just follow the path north a bit where you will get jumped by some blackrock orcs, and you can see the mill at the next fork in the road. It's about a 30 second walk from lakeshire town.

I havn't found a use for the certificate besides taking up a slot in my bank >:(

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I just did it, but when I got there I saw a lvl 20 Undead Rog. So I promptly, sent her to the afterlife again. Besides that, the only thing you should worry about is the lvl 19-20 Giant Trantulas that patrol outside the mill.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The notes at the top are wrong. You can open the box with 50 lockpicking.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Where is this mill located?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

How do you use those theif's tools they give you? I can't equip them, nor right click to use it. What keys do I use or do I have to buy a lockpick off of someone?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I cant seem to find it.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

when you cross the bridge heading to lakeshire you go straight(dont enter town)stealth if you're 16-19 and when you get to the cross roads take the right path. you should stil be stealthed and about half a minute and you'll be there

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Level 16 Rogue, I stealthed in (avoiding the tarantula patrolling the path) and practiced with another 27 Rogue. I practiced to 50, picked the lockbox, and then kept practicing until I maxed at 80, stealthed out. Got 1550 xp for the quest and leveled up to 17. It was easy and fun, ok a little boring but worth it to gain the lp skill.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

You need ZERO lockpicking to do this quest - it is intended to help you start your lockpicking!

When you pick up the quest, he gives you a set of thieve's tools.

Take them to 51,45 and practice on the practice lockboxes there for a few minutes until you max your skill on them (they respawn instantly, so it's a VERY efficient way to skill up). Anyone who practiced lockpicking before doing this quest just wasted their time/energy.

Once you get your lockpicking high enough, simply open the chest (same location) and complete the quest. You can finish it with as little as 25 skill, but spend 10 mins here and you can get your lockpicking up to about 75-100, and it will be time well spent.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Where are the boxes mentioned to practise on?

And is there a way to practise w/o actually *going* to the mill?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

You need Lv75 Lockpicking skill to attempt to open the Lockbox. Practice on the boxes around until you hit 75. This quest is mainly for XP, I would imagine, as it is very easy and yields 1400-1600xp.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Hmm, I managed to open the box when it went orange at 25 lockpicking.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I did this at 30.

Kommentar von Turicus

WARNING: Terrible quest design. You have to learn the Pick Lock skill from the Rogue trainer first, before you can do this quest. It doesn't say so anywhere in the quest description. So first, go to your Rogue trainer and learn the skill (with skill level 0), then travel to Lakeshire.

Kommentar von bogmore

This is relevant as of 13/11/2020, yes that's the UK way round.

The box you need to open becomes orange at 25, yellow at 50, green at 75. The practice ones turn green at 50.

Also watch out, stand on the right boxes when facing the saw blade as at 16 the left boxes are too near a level 20 spider which attacks you and if you don't have decent weapons, it kills you.

You probably need to level lockpicking to 80 here, which I think sets you up for when doing your poison quests at 20 which needs a minimum of 75. That way you don't have to come back here to level lockpicking again.

Kommentar von Djuntas

got to 103 skill before it was too slow.
