Total noob quest, but can any Blacksmith open a lockbox? I know blacksmiths can make skeleton keys, but where do I learn how to open the boxes? Do I have to be a rogue to do this or just a blacksmith or both?
It seems to me the materials are expensive in relation to the level appropriate lockboxes that drop, I save Truesilver and let a guildee rogue open things for me (and they can skillup from that too), and using up arkanite on a consumable key? no way.
So far I have only used silver and golden keys to open chests. It isn't that expensive to have a few keys on you cause doing instance zones without a rogue and seeing a chest that is locked used to **** me off. Yes it will use a metal bar and some grind stones to make the keys but the party is happy when the warrior pulls out his key set and opens the chest. :D
