More LockpickingFollow

Ok so I finished the quest with the practice locked boxes in Redridge and after about 120 or so they are grey, so is there anywhere that has more difficult practice boxes? Or do I have to spend a life savings on boxes from engineers?

I have found a couple different ways to get occassional skillups.

1. Fishing will get you an occassional locked box. I have gotten a few skillups from this. I am fortunate to be the only rogue in my guild so all fisherman send their chests to me.

2. Steal from humanoid creatures will get chest. Again another occassional skillup.

I haven't gotten a ton of skillups, but 20 levels for free is something. Rarely do I fail to pick a lock on the first try.

I was able to get my lockpicking up to 97 with the practice boxes in the Redridge Mtns. After that I tried uping my skill on practice locks (I'm an Engineer). However, my skill would not go up with these. I did the Kalven's Tower quest in Westfall to get my poison skill and a few days later I went back to the tower with two friends to practice my lockpicking on Klaven's Duskwood Chest. We were able to easily kill him (lvl 21 rogue, 23 pally & 25 hunter) and I could repeatedly pick the lock on the chest until I was up to 110/110. Now I'm wondering how to increase the max on my lockpick. Hope this helps and any advice how to move further is appreciated. :o)

your maximum lock picking skill raises with your actualy lvl. I believe it increase +5 every lvl you obtain. To effectively practice lockpicking, head on over to IF and do shouts in the trade channel for anyone needing boxes opened. Make sure the boxes you pick so a yellow or orange Locked description at the bottom of the box description. If you are greedy, you can even charge for this service. Anyway good luck.

Theres threads on the WoW boards but my experience (in brief) is:

From 100 - 170 go back to Klavens Tower (where you had to t=do the level 20 poison quest) and do the chest there.

From 170 - 220 do the doors in Scarlet Monastery and any lockboxes you can get people to let you at. You can just do the 2 doors at the start of the instances if you are patient, they seem to allow a skillup every 15 mins or so (no idea on how or why) and you can pcik lock on either side so 4 possible skillups from them.

Beyond that I don't know since I haven't skilled up past 220 yet.

What the... you can take lockpicking to 170 in the tower? Hmm Im guessing this is the alliance version of the quest. Where is the tower located and can I get there as horde?
