## Lockpicking Trainers

You can learn Lockpicking from rogue trainers in every major city. You don't have to visit different trainers.

## Leveling

### **Vanilla**

#### **1-100**

##### Horde

* The Buccaneer's Strongboxes near Rachet in The Barrens respawn after a few seconds, so even two rogues can skill up there at the same time without trouble. **They are inside the ship** at the location marked on the map below.
There's another chest on the bottom of the ship called "The Jewel of the Southsea". Don't try to open this if you are low level, because it will spawn a mob that will kill you.

##### Alliance

* There are a bunch of Practice Lockboxes in Redridge Mountains north from Lake Everstill. These respawn really fast, so skilling up to 100 will be really easy.

#### **100-150**

* Go to Zoram Strand in Ashenvale and look for Waterlogged Footlockers along the shore (on land).

#### **150-200**

Go to Badlands - Angor Fortress. You will find two kinds of footlockers there. You will need a lockpicking skill of 175 to open the Dentened Footlocker. Don't bother trying to Pick Pocket the mobs. The boxes are too low level, and they won't give any skill points.

* **Battered Footlocker** - skill 150 - Upstairs
* **Dented Footlocker** - skill 175 - Downstairs

#### **200-250**

* Go to the middle Searing Gorge and go inside the cave called The Slag Pit. You will find a bunch of footlockers there. It would be best if you also tried to Pick Pocket mobs to try to get a few Sturdy Junkbox.
Stay on the lower part of the Slag Pit until you reach 225 because you can't open the lockboxes at the upper part yet.

#### **250-300**

You can level the last 50 points in the Blackrock Depths (BRD) dungeon.

1. After you enter, turn to the left, and unlock the first door.
2. Then take the first right, open the next door.
3. Go left and pick the first door.
4. Go through the door and pick the large wooden object sticking out of the ground below the giant gear.

Once you picked all 4 locks, go out, then reset the instance by right-clicking over your own portrait, then click the "Reset all instance" button. You can only do 5 instance runs in an hour, which means you can only get 20 skill points in an hour, but if you pickpocket a bunch of mobs during each run, then you will have enough Strong and Heavy Junkboxes to reach 300. Or you can wait until you can go inside again.

### **TBC**

#### **300-350**

* Opening Wicker Chests in Zangarmarsh is the best way to level up lockpicking to 350. They are prevalent and respawn quickly.
There are several chests in each group of huts in the marked area. You can found them most commonly in the gaps between hut entrances, inside the small huts, and inside the large building in the western-most group of huts (top floor too). They also spawn near the empty baskets, barrels, cages, and inside wagons.
If there are other rogues at Zangarmarsh, you can switch to opening Dented Footlockers in Nagrand after reaching **Lockpicking** **325**. I think Zangarmarsh is a bit faster, so if you are the only one at Zangarmarsh, there is no reason to go to Nagrand.
The Dented Footlockers are usually close to the walls, fences, inside tents, at the top of each tower, and inside big buildings.
