TWW 70s Guide & Armory

I heard some lv80 rogues say they couldn't unlock the boxes?

All the boxes we've seen so far required Lockpicking 75 to unlock regardless of the level required to actually open the box. Both the 75 and 80 rogues were able to unlock them. I was also able to unlock them on my level 70 jewelcrafter using the legion Jeweled Lockpick, although that's obviously not intended. Our initial thought was to try a quality over quantity approach (elites, rares, delves, dungeons), but then we ended up settling on the exact opposite due to lackluster results. As far as I can tell, every humanoid NPC has or should have a worthwhile chance to have a box in their pockets. If you have more luck with the stronger foes, we'd love to hear about it.

I've so far found the same to be true; since Blizz doesn't consider the lockboxes to be anything special, it seems the drop chance is basically the same regardless of which rarity/importance the humanoid mob is. There are luckily quite a few high-density locations to slink around the new zones, so I've had the most success with those areas. Hopefully my favorite spots don't happen to be where your partner farms, but if I see others in the same area, I'll fly to some other spots.

Cheers!

Oh, it's not her you will see, it's this :

Totally understandable, and thanks for the experiments!

I've since found a few spots with plenty of pickpocket-able mobs, though I'm not sure whether I should focus on rares, elites, or if ALL targetable mobs have a worthwhile chance to drop the loot, so I'll keep at it. No boxes from these areas I've found so far (still just the two from dungeons).

I ranked BS on my main to craft the keys (I heard some lv80 rogues say they couldn't unlock the boxes? if anyone can confirm this was their user-error, I'll level another rogue lol), and I've got an alt who's about to ding 75, so I'll send all my boxes for him to open. Wish me luck, and I'm doing the same for all of you experimenting out there!

ive been pick pocketing every humanoid mob and have looted 3 bismuth box from level 70-75. not sure if kobolds or murlocks are better. all 3 once unlocked had 515 pieces in them.

getting more greens(515) looting the arathi treasure hoards than pickpocketing. once looted they didn’t respawn ill check later today if they reset daily or weekly.

looted bizmuth box off lvl 80 mob could unlock with 75 rogue but needed lvl 80 to open. 603 3/8 lvl 80 boe blue gear inside. i assume it was an upgrade from the regular rewards kinda like farming elites on our 60’s with the DF trial.
