Kaufe auf Zirkel des Cenarius "Schwere Plunderkisten" zahle 30g pro Kiste!
Einfach Subukka anwispern oder per Nachnahme schicken.

Kommentar von Selannya

Ich denke die Grünkiemensklaven sind nicht mehr der beste Weg um an die Kisten zu kommen. Ich töte ungefähr 30 von denen und bekomme eine Kiste. Wenn ich den Dungeon Untere Schwarzfelsspitze einmal komplett ausraube komme ich in einem Run auf 15-20 Kisten.

Kommentar von Synsyn

In der Unteren Schwarzfelsspitze hatte ich nach 10 Minuten genau 7 Kisten. Von den Orcs am Eingang und den Trollen im Tempel.
Von den Grünkiemen in Quel'Danas hatte ich schon nach 5 Minuten ebenfalls 7 Kisten.
Die Murlocs respawnen dafür innerhalb von Sekunden. Ich bin zu den beiden südlichsten "Dörfern" gegangen, habe eins ausgeplündert, sie getötet, beim anderen das gleiche und bin dann zurück. Das bescherte mir 34 Kisten in 20 Minuten, aber es geht bestimmt noch schneller.

Kommentar von ChikaraSan

So hab ich die Dinger gefarmt :

Bei den 4 Gruppen in der Brennenden Steppe bei ca. 39/36 einfach Taschendiebstahl mit diesem Makro :

#showtooltip Taschendiebstahl
/cast Taschendiebstahl
/script CloseLoot();

Mit dem Makro einfach über alle Gegner der Gruppe abgehen und dann die Gruppe töten. Die Plunderkisten sind dann im normalen Lootfenster.

Außerdem kann man die Kisten öffnen, reingucken und sogar Sachen rausnehmen. Solange noch was drin ist, kann man funktionieren sie für die Quest.

This item comes from pickpocketing monsters around level 50. There are other lock boxes as well for higher levels with better items inside, and require a higher skill level.

This is one of the main ways a rogue gets Lockpicking skill ups. These boxes come from various humanoid monsters when pick-pocketed, and have to be lockpicked to be opened. Not only does this give skill, but it also can give various things for rogues (poison ingredients, junk loot to sell for money, or even gems).

Kommentar von 45438

Pickable at skill 250. At 275 is yellow and 300 is green. Pick pocketed from 52-60 lvl mobs. Contains poisons reagents. Rarely any gems. Likely healing pots.

Kommentar von 36140

This is also the only way to get Ravenholdt rep at a certain point.

There's really nothing practical from having Ravenholdt rep past the rogue quests, however.

Kommentar von 94309

A good source of these are the Furbolgs at the northernmost Felwood. Lot better than trying to pickpocket these from the Hellfire orcs.

Kommentar von WarlordGrat

Recieved Plans: Raidant Boots out of one of these.

Kommentar von 94625

If you're doing alterac valley and your lockpicking skill is <300, go through the mines and pickpocket all the mobs there. There are tons of mobs in each mine and they all give a chance to drop a heavy junkbox. I did this and each run netted me about 3-4 boxes. Not much but it adds up! Make sure to kill the head miner to capture the mine for your side, too.

Kommentar von 40769

Reinforced steel lockbox is listed as a drop by Swamp Talkers, not Heavy Drop box, and the % is far less than 50. Also, there is ONLY ONE, the map makes it look like there are lots of them.

Kommentar von 105651

If you're looking to level up your lockpicking towards the end of 300, I found that not only the doors in BRD, but pickpocketing for boxes was a great and fast way to do so, in the 'audience' of the Ring of the Law (usually referred to as the arena) I could pick-pocket quickly and easily for between 2-5 Heavy Junkboxes per round.
Hope this helps. :)

Price of these will go insane, when 3.1 hits.

The new achievement ("Insane in the Membrane") with title reward ("the Insane"), require you to get Ravenholdt faction to exalted, which past Honored is only possible with a repeatable quest Junkboxes Needed.

Kommentar von evankimori

Another great place to make a good farming push for these is BRD. Note that this instance contains dogs that can and WILL see through stealth but if you can dodge around them farming: there are more than enough humanoids throughout the entire instance that can yield a good stash of these junkboxes if you're farming to sell for the upcomming achievement. I've gotten over 40 just wandering through and not even reaching the end of the instance!

The only bad catch here is that the nearest mailbox is probably Kargath for Horde anyway so I'd reccomend going with a MOLL-E or some very empty bags.

I sense rogues are going to finally make (more of) a killing off farming and selling these to players who wish to do that 'Insane In The Membrane' achievement. 1400 junkboxes. Owch.

Kommentar von 148317

You cannot sell these items on the Auction House.
You can't sell lootable items on the Auction House so get ready to spam trade with WTS Heavy Junkbox, PST!

On a side note a good place to farm these is Lower Blackrock Spire off the Orcs. Keeps you free from opening doors and having to kill stuff to get anywhere, there really is heaps of NPCs around without any hassle. (No stealth seeing dogs etc.)

If anyone else has a better place they should be using the WoWhead client to send data in about where they get the boxes to help people out!

Have fun and good luck on your titles! ^_~

Kommentar von 212003

is it possible for these to drop from anyone, or is it just a bug from people targeting as they pickpocket?

Kommentar von 246181

To anyone who buys these how much are you paying? I know it'll vary from server to server but I have no idea how much I should pay for them.

Kommentar von panica

I have personaly started to farm these in UBRS, lower one to be more specific and i am now managing to get 90 of those in 45 minutes (with 70lvl rogue). I am uploading data to wowhead so people can see the drop rates cause i couldnt find any addon that is counting % of success from pickpocketing, but so far I am more satisfied then pickpocketing mobs in Eastern Plaguelands. Only problem is having largest bags at you, and going to UBRS every time after you take HS to mail the boxes you got but still if you dont have enough gold to buy largest bags this achievement isnt for you cause of from my calculations I will spend at least 25000 gold on darkmoon faire reputation :P (in best case). If anyone has some better advice where to farm these please say so. And can please some alliance rogue try to pickpocket Stonard Grunt in Swamp of Sorrows at horde base there cause there are too low numbers on wowhead uploaded. Maybe those mobs are best for farming these boxes if you are lucky to be on alliance side, cause i cant find better counterpart on horde side. If there are interested ones I can explain later whats the best path to take in there to maximise your gathering unless someone suggest some quicker method in gathering more then 2 boxes per minute.

Kommentar von 155390

I too have been doing LBRS as a lvl 71 rogue. I just start from the beginning, pick everything from start to Wyrmthalak. Then walk over to the bridge right before his room, drop one level to the Orges hanging out down there (near the pile) and then drop another level to the next Ogres. If you just normal walk off (don't jump) you can do it without taking falling damage. Then start from there and head back up. I'm not sure on the exact time it takes me, i know the other day i spent 3.5 hours to get 100 boxes (and that was one of my better runs : / )

I'm farming for four ppl, and I'm almost done with my second person. It takes me about two rounds to get 50, and for alliance the closest mailbox is Redridge (sorry horde not sure for ya'll).

I've offered as much as 2g a box to some friends on my server but yeah that's not enough to get them biting, and after doing this for two more (non humans to boot -_-) i most likely won't be offering to sell any.

my record for going the longest without getting a box was 57 picks btw.

New Record: 63 picks w/o a box.

New new record: 78 picks w/o a box. :D

Kommentar von 214368

I have been collecting these for about a week now. On my server someone has already offered me 9k gold for 1470 boxes but i reckon they will easily sell for 10g+ each once the patch goes live.

I've mainly been going to LBRS with my 80 rogue.I pickpocket bout 30mobs then pull them all and evasion/fan of knives them to death heh. Runecloth + other drops is adding up to about 200g per hour, with something like 30-40boxes also!
My glyph of pick pocket is finally getting some good use heh.

Kommentar von evankimori

Here's a small guide I wrote to help Rogues with some farming of these lockboxes. Credit to panicka and herrojima for educating me on LBRS vs BRD in terms of droprate, mob level and humanoid population.

Note that this is a speed & efficiency guide for rogues level 65+ and omits trash selling of looted greys (like books), food, Vanilla WoW gems and health potions etc. I destroy those items from my bag since the boxes are what I'm after and additional items like these tend to slow you down. I use level 65 as a reference, since at that level; you shouldn't be caught too often or at all regardless. If you're still having problems with being caught often, some points in Subtlety and/or some +Stealth gear should help you out immensely:

Get 18 or 20 slot bags. You're gonna need all the space you can get. 20 is preferred. Spend the $$ and upgrade your bags if you can-the money will come back to you by the time you've done a sale of a few boxes.
Empty them all. You're not going to be fighting anything in here. Killing a humanoid will yield less loot. If you're caught/pickpocket resisted/detected: Vanish.
Keep your Hearthstone and a stack of Health Pots in your bags. You shouldn't need anything else. If caught - Vanish. For maximum efficiency - set (Horde) Hearthstone to Kargath. Sorry Alliance, I don't know your FP's. :(
Turn on Auto-loot in Interface options. You'll be one-button target/tapping all the way around.
Make a macro to Sap/Pickpocket mobs and bind it to a hotkey. Suggestion - I use 'Q' since I move with WSAD.
Start from the front of LBRS and pickpocket your way around. Don't worry about getting into UBRS or killing the various mobs to open the doors. We're going for speed + time VS profit here. Clear the UBRS entrance room and keep going around.
PP your way through the instance up to Wyrmthalak at the end. If you still have bag space by this time - log out while in the instance and log back in. All pockets will have reset, you're standing next to the end boss so it's a matter of reversing your direction now - PP your way out now and you should have full bags by the time you've reached the entrance again.
If bags are full: hearth out to your nearest FP, head to a vendor and start opening those boxes. Remember to turn OFF Auto-loot before you begin or you'll lose everything from your boxes when they're opened. Remember to leave at least one item in them. Glyph of Pick Pocket (-100% cast time in Patch 3.1) practically shines here by reducing the time needed to open each box. Various vendor trash calculation mods are helpful here to see what's the highest seller of what items are in them. Congrats on any greens/blue/epics you may get in a box or two!
Using the mailbox at your nearest FP: mail all the boxes in bulk to your alt/bank character/customer, get back on the flight and head back to Thorium Point to begin a fresh run. Pockets will have respawned by the time you get back so you should be ready to collect again.

Happy pickpocketing everyone and good luck on your achievement!

I've been farming for the Insane title, and after three bars into revered, I opened one of my heavy junkboxes and got a Shadowblade. :) I know its not near enough to make it worth farming them, but it was such a nice little surprise. Keep opening them while you farm. You might really get an epic out of it.

EDIT I've been farming at Tir's Hand by the way. Since I used to play Vanilla WoW a lot, just seemed like the best place to go.

Kommentar von 250447

I wanna give a try on Insane in the membrane achievement too :D however... i am a mage... money isn a big problem i guess... but would be more likely for anyone to sell these boxes for a price...
Would let's say 2g per box be ok?
One more thing... it can't be opened right? no need for it to be locked actually:3?

Kommentar von 271469

Question, I see "Dropped by" tab list several creatures (some of which have a decent drop rate too).

I also see the "Pickpocketed from" list...do these actually drop from the creatures (i.e. could a non-rogue feasibly farm them?)

Only asking because I haven't seen many selling the boxes...and even if I was going to pay for them....5k-10k gold is a little steep for my price range +).

This is probably a dumb question...but never had a rogue, so not familiar at all with the differences between the two tabs (other then the implied idea that these boxes do in fact drop, instead of only coming from pick pocketing).

Kommentar von 9951

Well as this item is now in demand due to Insane in the Membrane, i am going to share with you the things i have learned when farming 1400 boxes for my guildmate.

First off i started the farming in Tyrs Hand, not a good idea as i had to kill them to reset and re pickpoket them. This was a big big problem as it cut down the ammount of time i was picking pockets and getting the lockboxes, this is without the fact that they are spread out so mutch and have to wait for respawns ect ect. i was lucky to get 20 in 2 hrs

So i moved to LBRS this is far far better you can get about 100 in just under 3 runs (about 1hr)on average ( if you pickpoket every single mob in the instance incluting the ones at the entrance to UBRS). Dont bother with UBRS you have to kill mobs to get in kill rend that takes time and it will jsut slow you down , the mobs that guard the runes are fine.

I use a macro so i do not have to loot each mob , this way i can walk up to each mob ( i used imp steath speed tallets mutalate speed boost ect as my second spec it saves a huge amount of time) and tab to select it and press a pickboxet button and it auto loots everything.

/script SetCVar("AutoLootDefault", 1)
/cast Pick Pocket
/in 1 /script SetCVar("AutoLootDefault", 0)

My path is a follows

Enternace room > UBRS rune area > second room with orcs before room with wooden bridges > room with wooden bridge > ogre area ( the none summon boss room) > troll area both floors > lower orc area with huts ect > next ogre area via spider room > next orc area > final boss room > reset

I hope this is of use to anyone who is going for The insane or who is helping out a guildy.

EDIT

A few people are talking about selling them well in return for the 1400 junkboxes and 5k gold i am getting a bike :)

Kommentar von LockeColeMA

I am currently in the middle of this grind (800 or so junkboxes left). I am using a level 62 rogue alt that I leveled solely for this purpose... heck, her name is "Junkboxing"!

I too started in EPL at Tyr's Hand. I don't think the above poster is correct in the "20 in 2 hours" thing. Making a loop around the area nets lets you completely clear it without killing any enemies and the ones at the beginning will have their pockets refilled when you get back to them. However, I did encounter the same downfall for this area: not enough spawns close together! The traveling time between groups really bites; also you may have competition if someone else is doing the same thing. You make around 50 junkboxes per hour here. The upside is that it is very close to LHC, so you have an easy hearth, mail, and trip back (5 minutes total for all of that).

So after doing this for a while I moved to LBRS. At 62 it's a little scary. However, I get 68 junkboxes in about 40 minutes here (all the free space in my bags). Sometimes it can vary. Usually it takes around 2 complete clears/resets to get this many. Sometimes it varies. On one very unlucky run I barely had 20 after a complete clear. On another I had 50 after a complete clear. So it can vary wildly.

My route is pretty easy. Pickpocket the enemies in the entrance room, including the three small rooms to the sides. Follow the patrol to the right of the entrance, go up the ramp and pickpocket the guys up there. Then go like you would normally go through the instance. When you get to the ogres, drop down to ground floor where all the orcs are. Pickpocket them, run past the spiders, and pickpocket the 8 ogres or so while continuing upstairs. Go all the way to the end of the instance (boss cannot be pickpocketed).

At the end, turn around and head back. Jump off the bridge back to where the 8 ogres are. Jump down again to where the Overlord ogre guy is. Pickpocket all of them, go back to the bridge and jump back to the ground floor. Sometimes the orcs down here have their pockets refilled, sometimes not. Either way, head to the troll area, pickpocket everything, head upstairs to the troll boss area, and then work your way back to the beginning of the entrance.

A full circuit takes around 20 minutes. Leave the instance, reset, and do it again! When my bags are full, I hearth to Lakeshire, mail, and fly back to Burning Steppes, then run to the instance. I don't have my epic mount on this character, so it takes me a little longer. But in 50 minutes or so I can fill all my bags, mail everything, and be back to a fresh instance. This means I average around 80 boxes an hour. Note that I do not have access to UBRS, which might be a good place as well with all the orcs at the start. At 62 I am hardly ever discovered; Sap takes care of scary places, and vanish works if something goes really wrong.

I still have a while to go, but this is the last rep for my Insane title on my main. Wish me luck!

Kommentar von Mhila

Im doing this grinding for my main the bad thing its that a need to lavel a rogue but i AM INSANE so i just dont mind jajajajaja i actually dont mind eather pay a rogue for the 1700.....but im more like do it yourself sooooo another week for an rogue alt(my bf its going to kill me jajajajaja he hates alts )anyway what its the best quick level rogue?

Kommentar von 385945

I'm working on this grind right now for ravenholdt rep and have tried UBRS and Tyr's Hand and can say that Tyr's Hand is hands down the best place to pickpocket these boxes. Start at the entrance and do a large loop around the entire place, pickpocketing every single mob (go inside all of the buildings). Doesn't take long to fill up your bags. Then it's just a quick trip back to Light's Hope Chapel to mail the boxes to your alt for a quick return to the farming grounds.

Kommentar von Smokingwolf

i made a lvl 56 rogue for raven rep farm. i have farmed 4 hours in tyr's hand and the drop rate is around 60 boxes per hour +/- 5. The good thing in there is that you never have to wait! anything or kill anybody, just run around and pp, the mailbox is very close.so is vendors if ya want to sell something or repair. although the droprate seems kinda small, i wont go to lbrs or brd for 2 reasons - 1. wowhead droprates are far from perfect ( 2 out of 7 etc) .2. logistical problems: no mailbox, if you die you have to run very long time

good luck anyways

ps: I downloaded the wowhead client for this but dont know when they will update those numbers.I upload data twice a day. can anyone tell me how does it work excactly?

Kommentar von 217517

So I started farming these in LBRS yesterday, and I think I can get about 90-100 in an hour.
I did a test run and here is the results:

Time: 40 minutes
Heavy Junkboxes: 78
Money gained: 20g 15s 72c

I also got alot of Superior Healing Potions and Exotic Cookbooks, but I threw them out to make room for junkboxes.

The testing was done on an 80 rogue with Master of Deception and Camouflage.
I also had Glyph of Pick Pocket.

Kommentar von 398435

This Macro Will Save You HOURS!

/console set targetnearestdistance 10
/cleartarget
/targetenemy
/cast pick pocket

Set the first line to '5' if you dont have Glyph of Pick Pocket
Basically, have auto loot on and walk up to any mob and it will pickpocket it, if you spam this button while moving around a group of mobs it will pickpocket them all, very fast.
You might notice your chat log saying you've looted the same mob more then once, you really havent, it is just confused because you are changing targets so fast.
Just keep spamming the button, and it will pickpocket whichever mob youre closest to.

Have fun farming your heavy junkboxes!

Kommentar von Alatoth

There is also a rather big drop rate from the mobs at Hellfire Peninsula:

http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=19701
http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=18952
http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=16876
http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=16925

plus all the mobs outside and inside Zeth'Gor.

from what i have see 1/5 mobs drop a heavy junkbox.

Hope it helps

Kommentar von Zunturk

lol Bilbin that achievment sounds a little hare to accomplish dont ya think?

Kommentar von Seilgrank

Just for fun, I decided to see what the most valuable items in the junkboxes were so it was easy to tell what to leave in the junkboxes and what to loot. Using the loot data here on Wowhead, each box contains an average of 3.75s (Actual money contained appears to fluctuate between 1.5-6s).
Five of the items in the Heavy Junkbox loot table vendor for more than 3.75s on average, and therefore take priority over money: Star Ruby (Vendors for 50s each, averages 5g on Auction House), Rogue's Diary (45.62s), Major Healing Potion (10s, 50s on AH), Shabby Knot (2.25s each, 2-4 per drop), and Humanoid Skull (6.67s).
The remaining items all vendor for less than 3.75s on average, including the rogue poisons. Money should usually take priority over these.

As for the pickpocketing itself, everything you end up looting is worth less than the junkboxes themselves, with the possible exception of Star Ruby if you choose to auction it. Superior Healing Potion vendors for only 12.5s per stack and auctions for about 1g per stack, making it less valuable than the junkboxes. Pickpocketed food vendors for 40s per stack, and the other items vendor for even less. This assumes a value of roughly 1-4g per junkbox.

Your mileage may vary depending on auction prices on your server and the actual amount of money contained in an individual junkbox.

glyph of sprint/pickpocket/vanish/distract/safe fall are all good glyphs for this aswell, hope this helps speed things up a little bit.

Kommentar von jormundgard

The percentages quoted here are all messed up, maybe because it doesn't record a "fail" unless there's some loot to go with the coins you pickpocket. LBRS junkbox rates are closer to 10%. But there's still a lot of pockets to pick, so it's still a good place to go.

im sure i did read all comments but i dont think any1 mentioned if boxes stack and if yes how big are stacks? i've just started lvling a rogue so i could farm them so..

Kommentar von SJBequeath

Having just pulled 50 of these off BRD Mobs for Ravenholdt Rep, here are some numbers:

Total Wealth: 1g 20s 22c
Average per box: 3s 88.44c
Highest amount in one box: 5s 98c
Lowest amount in one box: 1s 52c

Boxes containing more than money: 22
(that is 1 extra every 2.27 boxes)

Box Contents-
Crippling Poison - 1
Deadly Poison IV - 5
Deadly Poison V - 1
Instant Poison IV - 3
Instant Poison V - 5
Mind Numbing Poison - 3
Star Ruby - 1
Wound Poison IV - 3

Wealth is for the boxes only and does not include what I grabbed directly from the pockets. I don't know how long it took to pull these as I rarely pay attention to time.

Kommentar von jandy

im currently collecting these for a pally who needs for the insane title quite easy an thanks to the comments spend bout 2hrs running through lbrs pickpocketing an then selling the boxes to him for 15g a pop easy money thnx for the tips guys

Kommentar von 293216

I have decided to start buying these c.o.d. and the response I got was unbelievable. I started with a price of 5g each and then I saw a flood of other buyers going as high as 100g. Then I got a tell from someone telling me this is one of the rarest items in the game and you will never find them for sale, ever! One guy offered to sell one for 1200g! Did they change the drop rate for these somehow making it impossible to find even one? I might pay as much as 10-20g each but I'm not paying 100g for somerthing I need over 1300 of.

Kommentar von jcj64200031

As people have mentioned, LBRS is one of the best places to go to farm these. So, I've made a video of my route through LBRS. it takes about 8 minutes and runs past 150 mobs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZTSzO9QK5s

I've been using this path for all my lockboxes, and I'm about 75% done as of this post.

Kommentar von 313854

Im going for the Insane ach.

While farming Dire Maul north, i pickpocket every mob. Tho in a full run (pickpocketing and killing) every mob i get between 5-12 boxes. Takes bout 45min

I went to tyrs hand and pickpocketed (not killing) and got 20 boxes in like 8min.

So i guess the "droprate" in inaccurate, since farming Tyrs for theese seemes faster, if u just want lockboxes.

Kommentar von Spudz09

As a master of trickery and theft currently in employment for the second time in 2 weeks i'd like to add my 2 cents.

I find Hearthglen to be quite an easy and profitable place to farm said junkboxes. the first trip or 2 round usually results in less boxes than the later as you will need to weed out a few mobs that can see through stealth, for an 80 rogue its possible to sap and pickpocket them before disposing of them in the hope (quite regular) that a non stealth seeing mobs will spawn.

My route around leaves out the main castle building (garanteed stealth seeing mobs) and i find rather than waiting 30-45 secs for pockets to refill i ride down the hill picking as i go for extra boxes and no downtime.

The route take around 7-10mins per go and has an average yield of 14boxes per go.

Most boxes in 1 run has been 37
Least has been (sadly) 2
Generally its 1-2 from average (ofc)

I have (purposely) 84 free spaces in my bag which take between 40mins to 1.5 hours to fill.
While i can see this may not be the fastest way to get the boxes needed, it may prove useful to lower level rogues (easier to kill mobs if needed), and personally i found LBRS to be annoying to navigate and generally a pain to do.

When gathering boxes Engineering is awsome, i simply get my 84 boxes and mail to said employer using MOLL-E and log out on site as i rarely use my rogue for anything else.

Think about the number of spaces in your bag before you go. A tip would be to follow my lead.
84 boxes = 7 full mail loads (12 per mail) = (for me) 120g per COD payment = 840g per load.
I use these numbers to keep track of the number collected and the number needed to collect still.
I find my employers appreciate me knowing whats left, letting them work on other parts of the "insane" achievement without worry. Which has and will result in a Bonus payment upon completion in a timely manner.

I wish you all luck in your lockbox ventures and i hope this has helped in some way.

heavy jungbox

Kommentar von Keshiana

These can also be pick-pocketed from the Kobolds guarding the Coldtooth mine in Alterac Valley, (Lvl 60-69 bracket). There's a lot of them in close proximity, but usually facing the walls of the mines. There are usually only one at a time who are facing areas that a rogue would be stealthing through, so they can be easily sapped or distracted. I got about a dozen boxes in one run through the mine, along with assorted potions and gnome effigies. (Why does everyone hate gnomes so much?)

Watch out for the Geomancers, though. Their flame shield will break your stealth, and then you're usually looking at 4-6 kobolds turning away from mining walls to mine your face. It is not fun. If that happens, make sure to run AWAY from the Geomancer before vanishing.

Presumably, the faction-specific mobs can be pick-pocketed as well.

Of course, this means you're in a battleground and completely ignoring the BG objectives, so please don't do it in my group. ^_^

Kommentar von 83450

I recommend these talents and glyphs to anybody farming these. The remaining talents go wherever you feel like as does the 3rd major glyph since this spec is gimp for damage and is only useful for pickpocket farming.

This setup will give you the most bang for your buck.

Kommentar von lysaea

I haven't played a high-level rogue (although once I finish farming my Shendralar rep I'm going to roll one and grind it to farm my own boxes) so I can't test this myself, but I'm curious. In the Darkmaster Gandling fight in Scholomance, everytime he teleports you, three Risen Guardian mobs spawn. According to the wowhead statistics, these mobs have a 33% rate of carrying junkboxes on pickpocket. When I fight Gandling, he teleports me regularly, which means frequent spawns of these junkbox-carrying mobs, so I was wondering if it would be a feasible way of farming junkboxes for Ravenholdt rep. I know that there would have to be some way to get back into stealth which is tricky in combat, so I don't know how feasible it is.

I'm also wondering if the drop rate really is 33%, because the mob statistics only show six pickpockets, hardly enough to have valid statistical analysis.

Any higher-level rogues want to answer my question on this being feasible?

i tried out LBRS and it worked amazingly. in two full clears, starting from begninning, going to wyrmthalak, then back to begining and same again. took about 30 mins and gained 40 boxes. if you keep getting that amount, you need about 40 full pickpocket clears, and less if you are human.

I have been buying these on my mage for the last few months in between farming the other reps. I plan to level up my (currently) lvl 33 rogue soon to do my own farming, but I've gotten just under 500 by using a simple trade macro asking people to CoD them to me at 5g a piece.

I'm doing this on Arygos, Alliance side, and am willing to bargain if you have some to sell but want a higher price.

Just some notes for fellow Insanity seekers, don't expect one rogue to farm these for you. The best case scenario is have multiple rogues getting them for you. Most of my suppliers have been rogues who are level 50-60 who just happen to pick them up as they level. My normal supplier sends me a dozen or so then moves on to the Outlands. Very occasionally, I find someone who was stockpiling them for one reason or another or who just wants to be helpful. I've had guildies pick up some for me here and there, but rarely do I get more than 50 from one particular person.

Generally, my macro results in people wanting to know why I want these items, so be prepared to answer questions. Remember, you never know what alts people have, so everyone is a potential supplier (you could also put an explanation into your macro, but I find I run out of room before everything is explained). A lot of people haven't even heard of this achievement, so people will want to know what you are up to.

I've had some whispers telling me I'm not paying enough, but I haven't found there to be much competition for these items on my server, and like I said, I will negotiate.

These items can be locked or unlocked, so rogues can use them to level lockpicking and then supply them to insane people like me.

Remember: there is no reason to hurry this. I suggest starting to advertise for these the moment you decide to go for the achievement. You aren't going to be able to raise the other factions over night, so you might as well go slow with Ravenholdt too. I started out getting about 100 a week. It's gone down lately. It's going to take time, but so is killing Booty Bay Bruisers, Pirates, turning in Librams, and Darkmoon Decks. Nothing in this achievement is easy. No reason Ravenholdt needs to happen over night.

TL;DR Version of Most of the Useful info in this comment section and the section of comments for "Junkboxes Needed" + some of my own insight.

1. Use this macro for quick Pick Pocketing (ty peeka)
/cleartarget
/targetenemy
/cast pick pocket

2. Use this macro to delete common humanoid loot other than junkboxes in Blackrock Spire (ty marshen)
/run f=string.find;for b=0,4 do for s=1,32 do n=GetContainerItemLink(b,s);if n and(f(n,"Homemade Cherry Pie")or f(n,"An Exotic Cookbook")or f(n,"Roasted Quail")or f(n,"Superior Healing Potion")) then PickupContainerItem(b,s);DeleteCursorItem();end;end;end

3. If you have a Rogue 60+, it is a Good idea to spec it Subtlety to pick up talents like Master of Deception, Dirty Tricks, Camouflage, Preparation, and Shadowstep. Used together they help yield very quick Pick Pocketing

4. Helpful Glyphs are Pick Pocket and Pick Lock

5. The Best zone to Farm these is in Blackrock Spire with a level 60+ Rogue (Dungeon between Searing Gorge and the Burning Steppes)

6. You can unlock these and still pilfer Some of the loot Some of the time without them disappearing. To do this the easiest way, Disable Auto Loot in your Interface > Controls section. Typically cold hard silver is the best you will get but once in a while something of value is in there. Do Not Loot the silver if it is the only thing in there! Make sure to leave at least one item/coin set in there.

7. These are used in a quest to grind Ravenholdt faction. That faction is tied to a Feat of Strength title and often lazy/rich players will buy these between 1-10 gold a piece. If you find someone willing to pony up 10 gold a piece and if you loot ~70 an hour, you can make 700 gold an hour which beats the heck out of most gold farming and you don't even need an 80. THESE CANNOT BE SOLD ON THE AUCTION HOUSE. So if you want to stockpile to sell them, your best bet is mailing them to an alt for temp Mail Storage (30 days) or to fill that alt's bags/guild bank.

8. I myself only have a neglected Rogue alt so I did not know the finer points of speed pick pocketing. Here are some tips. When using the targeting/PP macro, make sure your character is looking in the direction of your target you want to pick pocket. Even if there is a target much closer, if there is a target in your direct direction you will probably target that instead. If you are coordinated enough and the set of mobs allows, you can Strafe by them without ever stopping or slowing down. Also, Pick Pocketing does not trigger the Global Cool Down. Sapping does. If you want/feel the need to Sap, go ahead and sap first and immediately pick pocket, you won't be penalized.

9. Vanish is your friend. An aggro'd mob = time wasted and if you haven't Pick Pocketed them yet, a potential lockbox down the drain.

Kommentar von Beatriz

My rogue is now farming these for my main (a mage) and I've had mixed success. Sometimes I'll clear go through the Felwood Furbolg camp and come out with 20 boxes, sometimes 2. Depend on the night, I guess.

My original intent was to buy all the boxes, but I'm too impatient for that, and even though they are coming in slowly, I want to be done with the rep once and for all.

My secondary intent was to level the rogue to at least 60 before starting so that I could run around Scholomance and Blackrock Depths with some degree of impunity. Again, my impatience over took me and I started farming these to some degree as soon as the mobs became yellow (and I try when they are orange, often needing to vanish afterwards). That said, I thought it might be helpful to talk about areas where one can continue to level while farming because running around BRD on a level 52 just hoping no one sees you simply sucks but so does waiting level upon level while farming mobs that don't even drop what you want for XP.

Felwood, Winterspring, Blasted Lands.

Most notably the Timbermaw hold rep quest lines and the demon killing rep lines in Felwood, the Furbolg killing quest lines in Winterspring, and the Fallen Hero of the Horde quest lines in the Blasted Lands. You can pickpocket then kill. The respawn rate on most of the mobs is about the same as the reset rates on the pickpockableness of the mobs, so you might as well just kill after you've cleared the room nasty Baggins style. It's always good to know what the mobs have in their pocketsssssssssssss.

Oh, and if you pick up a level or two, pretty much every undead in Andorhal and beneath Stratholme drops these too, at a very good rate.

Starting at level 51, I began queuing for AV in between to help break up the monotony of levelling to pick these boxes. I got the idea to go in a cave and do a circuit around - guess what, the troggs and snivels crew yield about 8-15 and by then they are respawned to do again. Depending on how good your AV group is, you might get a few passes in here as long as no one flips the mine. In addition, you get rep, experience, and honor while you are farming these babies.

I only started LBRS today and have over 300 from doing AV from 51-60. I plan to do it again to break up LBRS a bit and give me a free hearth to a graveyard and place to sell off junk.

UPDATE: Still yield these boxes in the 61-70 bracket

Kommentar von creo

picked 1500 of theese for the insane rep farm. opened up every one of em, HAPPY to see 3 x teebu's blazing longswords. Would recommend checking the boxes for loots ;p

Kommentar von Gaignun

For those of you leveling a rogue explicitly for junkbox farming: I just found a really amazing way to get easy junkboxes while you are leveling. It does require you to have points in subtlety for increased stealth as well as the pickpocket glyph to make it easy (having maxed lockpicking for your level helps too), but while you are leveling in your early 50s use LFG to get into BRD Prison.

After everyone clears the boss and leaves, go back and pop the locks to the highway and garrison and go to town! Be extremely mindful of the dogs and elementals, of course, but at level it’s still a breeze. Ring of Law is amazing for boxes. When you’ve run out of pockets to pick, simply kill yourself and run back, they’ll reset by the time you do.

But the most important part of this is you have to use the LFG tool. Because you can TELEPORT OUT OF THE INSTANCE AND RIGHT BACK for extremely easy access to a mailbox and instantly resume farming!

I did this tonight for about half an hour to an hour and got about 40 junkboxes that way on my level 51 rogue. I was originally planning on getting her above 60 before considering farming dungeons like BRD or LBRS, but having LFG has made me change my mind and I can start getting junkboxes sooner than I had originally planned. Something to keep in mind if you’re still leveling!

I intend to milk this for as long as I can. ;P It definitely saves me a ton of time leveling, not to mention time spent getting there and back once I got my rogue over 60.

Atm im trying to get the Insane in the Membrane achivment.
so im doing DM north for the Steamwheedle Cartel rep.
Im Pickpocked all mobs and kill them for the key to free the goblin.
this way you get 3 parts of the grind done.
1 BB rep (and rest of the cartel)
2 Junk boxes. rep with ravenhold
3 Books (and diamonds (if your lucky)) for Shen'dralar

Happy hunting

Kommentar von Himinbjorg

I farmed half the boxes to get exalted (10999/21000) in Tyr's hands during 3.3.3 and have been noticing that now after 3.3.5 the drop rate is really low, not sure if it is just impression but it have been taking 3 to 5 times to fill my 90 empty slots, tried BRD and LBRS also, same deal.

Kommentar von Vigilance

Im currently doing the insane on my warrior and since i don't know any rogues that would farm these for me and well, Im not going to pay 10,000g for something i can EASILY farm for it will just take ages, i farmed them all myself, by hand.

But i currently have 220 junkboxes left to pick.... And i swear that all you people using the WoWclient are just REALLY lucky...

WoWhead claims this to be a 60-75% droprate off the mobs you pickpocket in LBRS (Firebrand, Spirestone, Scarshield and Smolderthorn)... But this is utter BS...

I experianced far closer to a 10-30% droprate...

Basically I didn't kill a single mob or open up any doors... I'd head towards the Leeeroy room but not open the door to get into it and then backtrack down past Scarshield, Smolderthorn and Firebrand and then run back to the start and go again..

A normal run would see me pickpocket roughly 300 mobs. Out of this EVEN if i WAS LUCKY i would obtain only 30-40 junkboxes (And when not lucky only 20-30)

To pickpocket a Full inventory of these (96) on my rogue i'd have to run at least 3-4 times through LBRS pickpocketing at least 800+ mobs.

So don't get your hopes up like i did who thought at a 60-75% drop rate this would be fairly easy to farm.... It's no where NEAR that high... Prepare for a long farm and I hope you can persist through it for it is a money saver or the only option if your server doesn't put junkboxes on the AH...

Vigilance.

Kommentar von 199713

Got a from this junkbox just a minut ago

Kommentar von 562047

Just putting this on as another option, although i have never got more than 20/hr the mobs at the undercroft in EPL are 1 shot kills for 80 rogue, and if you kill after pickpocketing they spawn fast enough that you never stop PP/kill/looting them. Also they drop runecloth which is good if you are going for home city rep.

Kommentar von 350925

Also worth to mention the amount of An Exotic Cookbook (Ein exotisches Kochbuch) You get while farming these. Quite Hilarious really. Right now I have 40 Lockboxes and 53 of the Cookbooks. The recipe goes like this:
How To Serve Man
<Right Click To Read>

1. Get one or eight man
2. Hit man hard
3. Hit man more
4. Put man in fire
5. Eat man

Just Hilarious.

Kommentar von Venorize

These are my primary source of income.

I send my rogue to gather up 5 bags full of them about once or twice a day.

On my server, I have absolutly no problem finding buyers at 10g a box.

I sell hundreds of boxes a day at this 10g each price. Doing some math here... My rogue has 90 bag-slots free in a run. I fill the bags, and sell 90 lockboxes through CoD mail to a list of people who are buying them.

If i run two runs a day, totaling me about an 60-90 minutes a run........

3 Hours gets me 180 boxes........ 180 boxes X 10g = 1800 Gold

Every 3 hours.

Thats how you get a few hundred thousand gold :P Given you can find buyers on your server... but I've had no problem finding people. I find at least one or two new people a week who are motivated to do the achievement (Because they are bored waiting for cataclysm to come out.... NOW IS THE TIME TO DO THIS... their value will bottom out when cata hits).

Kommentar von 298971

For me the best place to pickpocket them was LBRS. There are alot of human mobs in groups and if you reach the end of the instance you just can jump down to the ogre's level again and start pickpocketing again, because their "pockets" will respawn. I got around 80 boxes in 1 1/2 hours. The good thing is that you don't need to reset the instance and you don't get annoyed from players of the other faction, and LBRS is very close to Ironforge. The bad thing is that there is no mailbox near LBRS (neither at Thorium Point nor at Morgan's Vigil).

Kommentar von 669378

If your planning on doing your own Pick-Pocket for Ravenholdt.

I highly recommend LBRS. Before I started, I did about 2 hours on pick-pocket in Tyr's Hand and from my experiences, despite others recommendation. Tyr's Hand was horrible.

Pick-pocketing in Tyr's Hand.
- After 2 hours I was only able to acquire 60 or so Junkbox.
- Because Tyr's Hand is one big open field with mobs scattered all over, It was hard to keep track of the mobs that I had already pick-pocketed, as I constantly got the message that the mobs has already been picked-pocket.
- To add to that frustration of keeping track, there were constantly level 55s players running around killing them as well as newly made DK's (atleast on my realm anyways).

Too add, I also have a rogue friend who (on another realm) pick pocket junkbox, and he too, has the same issues I experience with Tyr's Hand.

The only benefit of farming in Tyr's Hand is the convenient of the mailbox and vendor located at Light's Hope Chapel.

In LBRS however. Things were fantastic.
- LBRS is very linear so it's very easy to navigate, as well making it very easy to keep track.
- A complete circuit run through from the entrance to the last boss (Wyrmthalakk ?) AND back around to the entrance, took on average 15-20 minutes.
- Each run through of the instance gave me anywhere from 30-40 junkboxes.
- Having all 20 slot bags, and only my Hearthstone from the start (95 free slots), I was consistently able to fill it all with junkboxs, in 2 and half run-through.
- So I was able to 95 boxes on an average of 45 minutes.
- Even without the convenient of a nearby mailbox or vendor, the down-time of hearthing, flying and running back only set me back at most 5 minutes. (for Alliance anyways, not sure about horde).

So yes. I highly recommend farming LBRS, also the macro's provided by "tosbanzai" was a lifesaver.

Also if you are leveling a rogue for the sole-purpose of farming junkbox. I really recommend getting it to 65 (Very easy with AV queues). I farmed LBRS with my rogue alt at level 55 and while you can do it at 55, it was alot slower as I had to be very cautious about maneuvering around groups of mobs.

Good Luck! and happy farming =D.

Kommentar von 662974

I'm very reluctant to give out my (the best) method of doing this, but why not:

Ok, http://www.wowarmory.com/character-talents.xml?r=Shandris&cn=Zerth&group=1
Use that spec, and the glyph of pickpocket, and glyph of sprint.

Use the macro:
#showtooltip Pick Pocket
/console targetNearestDistance 8,000000
/targetenemy
/cast Pick Pocket
/cleartarget
Bind this to your scroll wheel, up and down.

Enter LBRS, go up the ramp, take the 2nd ramp on the right , turn right, drop down, go left down the smaller ramp, and through a dark section with a pat, you should now see the big main area, with ogres on the other side of a ledge, stealth and walk towards the nearest pack of mobs, spamming scroll up and down, youll pick them all, continue forward through the instance till you get to some ogres on the left, with a ramp near them around the corner, skip the ogres and go down the ramp into the troll section, pickpocket everything and keep moving forward to the spider section, go past that till you see more ogres, pick them, go around the corner past the scorpion things, in the next section dodge the pat, picking everything on your way, and go right and into another section, pick everything in that, and head onto the bridge heading to the final bosses room, pick the bosses room, then run out, drop down onto the ogres section where you turned the corner before the scorpions, then (here comes the part that makes this route really good) target the first mob you picked across the ravine, with the lava at the bottom, and sprint jump towards him and spam shadow step, youll teleport across the ravine, then vanish, and repeat route(their pockets will have respawned by now, so you don't need to reset).
This is the fastest method, will give about 100 box's per 50 minutes if you do it right.
Also use the addon lootfilter to set it up so anything you loot other then junkboxs is deleted.

Kommentar von 182333

I've been using this macro to speed up my junkbox collecting:

/cleartarget
/cast Pick Pocket
/script SetRaidTargetIcon("mouseover",1)

I have it bound to a key, I can move past a group of mobs and mouseover and pick pocket each of them every 1/3 second without interruption. The '/cleartarget' ensures any 'Your target has already had its pockets picked' errors are not due to bad targetting, and setting a star on each target lets you know you got each one you aimed at.
It is about 10 times faster for me than having to target each mob and then pick pocket, because after looting it auto retargets the previous mob, using this mouseover that retarget is irrelevant and doesn't slow you down.

Kommentar von 104395

How much do people pay for these on average?

Kommentar von Diodor

These are now much harder to get then before 4.03a. I use to get around 25-30 per full LBRS but now 25% of the mobs in LBRS are gone and im getting ~15 for full clear.

Kommentar von Puggan

Where can i easy get thous junkboxes, bean leveling up an alt rogue to level 46 so far, and alredy got 2 boxes, but since patch 4.0.3, i nolonger know where to go to get thous boxes.
So please tell me. (got an 80 druid friend that can help me, if its needed)

Kommentar von 641131

The ring of law is a HORRENDOUS place to attain Heavy Junkboxes.... 1-2 if I am lucky for a round of pick-pocketing all the spectators. The other aggressive mobs in BRD are also useless if one's aim is to farm Heavy Junkboxes....

LBRS is your best shot. And even the droprate in LBRS has been lowered greatly.

Kommentar von witteafval

I was just questing in the Blasted Lands on my 60 rogue, and noticed I was picking boxes from the demons and naga in the zone even though they're non-elites. I'll have to figure out how to upload such information to wowhead, but I suspect it may be worth it for people to widen their range of targets in 50-60 zones to see what new mobs are now carrying these since the shattering.

Kommentar von Strykie

4.0.3a Patch Hurt Junkbox Farming in LBRS as ~30% of the mobs have been removed.
Strath was nerfed down to ~45 instance
Tyrs hand is now a ~45ish area.

Anyone found any new places to farm?

Kommentar von 720106

Day before Cata ships, I have run BRD several times.
I got 12 Sturdy Junkboxes: nothing of value.
And 8 Heavy Junkboxes: Of which my last one game me Alcors Sonnenschneide

Kommentar von 390549

I've been levelling a rogue, specifically to farm box's for my Druid main.
I'm now level 58 and while questing the last 2 levels to get to Outlands I was in the Blasted lands doing Nethergarde mines quests. I didn't record it, but the drop rate was excellent from the Nethergarde miners/engineers/foreman.

Due to it's size, if you start at the entrance and work your way through, then take a boring walk back, their pockets will have refreshed.

I'm going to level up a fair bit then come back with my meters and timers running.
Will do my best to remember to bring back my data.

Kommentar von Yaran

After reading a few comments about the Blasted Lands I decided to hit up the Nethergarde Mine for my last few hundred junkboxes post-Cataclysm. All 55-56 mobs, non-elite, but only an option for Horde I believe.

I did this on a level 55 (Horde) subtlety rogue for the stealthed movement speed bonus, and found that once I got my groove going it took about nine minutes for an optimized clear of the mine, then one more minute to run up the wooden ramp back to the beginning, by which times the mobs can all be pickpocketed again.

I go in the Northern entrance, up the little incline where the named dwarf is, and from there clear straight down to the big center room, only skipping mobs if they're too far out of the way (like most of the terrified miners, which I just sprint past).

Over the 12 clears I counted, I was averaging about 1.489 lockpockes per minute in Nethergarde Mine.
They ONLY drop Heavy Junkboxes -- no other type.
The miners also enjoy a lot of pie, cheese, and fried plantain.

Good option with only a minute of downtime, a very low threat of death, and a very close (Stonard) inn/mailbox combo. Especially if you're a little lower level and instance farming isn't as easy to do effectively.

Kommentar von toadofsteel

Is there any place that's good for alliance to farm them post-cataclysm? Most of the original 55-60 instances have either been level-nerfed or mob-nerfed.

Kommentar von 777148

I started working on Ravenholdt rep this evening. With Durnholde keep gone and Stromgarde your only real option(it sucks btw), I thought i might give looting boxes a try. After a few hours, I found I averaged 54 boxes per hour(LBRS). With my lvl 14 guild and 10% buff(horde so no human factors here), I'm getting 82 rep per turn in.

Let's say you wait Stromguarde out..and you get to revered that way(I averaged almost 2k rep per hour there, figure in 18k rep, give or take some breaks...about 6 hours)..only 21k rep to go.

These boxes are your only ticket up now. With about 50 per hour from a full LBRS clear, you're going to get 820 rep with your guild perk as a horde. That comes out to ~26hrs.

Total you're looking at about 32hrs to hit exalted.

For a casual like me who can only afford 2hrs a day while still getting some from the wife on ocassion...it's gonna be a long grind. Guildies, arena partners, etc come into play and it looks like 30m to an hour a day and this may just be the hardest rep to farm for the Insane.

On the bright side of all this...I'm still going to be getting some on ocassion.

Kommentar von Paleolf

I have found a new spot! (Horde Only) I hate farming, and the mob reduced LBRS was boring. Plus, I came away with so few boxes for all that walking around. I tried the Nethergarde mine, and found it pretty good.
BUT... while flying across Swamp of Sorrows, I spotted the new alliance base on the north end of the Pool of Tears, and inside the walls was a formation of 36 allies. There are 5 columns of six foot soldiers with 3 cavalry on each side. I could stand in front of the front centre alli and loot 3/4, then finish off the last 1/4 standing at the back. I then hid behind a building, and changed toons, did a daily or crafted something, and returned to my rogue to pick pockets once again.
I get 3-7 boxes per loot in 2 minutes and can do it every 10 minutes (it seems, although this may differ. I need to test this more). I fill my bags before going to stonard to mail them to my nearly insane main.
No more falling asleep at the kbd and walking into lava!
Tips for young players:
Remember to hide before logging because when you log in, you will not be stealthed.
Combine this with the mine or Nethergarde keep when you tire of walking around like Mr. Cellophane.

Go Insane!

Kommentar von elcius

The Blackrock Stronghold in Burning Steppes seems to be a nice place to park a rogue for occasional farming.

It's quite a small area, but there are 4 groups of 25 mobs, along with roaming units, around 120 mobs all up, levels 50-51.
I get 10-20 boxes from this area, takes around 200 seconds to clear it.

Kommentar von toadofsteel

I just got my achievement today. I do have to say that LBRS does remain as the best place to farm boxes. Yeah the drop rate isnt as high as wowhead says, but you have to factor in the important fact that you have zero competition in instances. For alliance, LBRS is now ridiculously easy to get to as well, if you have a flying mount. Just mount up, and fly east over the mountain range from SW keep. You're practically right at blackrock mountain. Also, if you somehow manage to die in LBRS, the spirit healer is right outside the instance. I got anywhere between 15-30 boxes per run, and each run took me 20-30 minutes to complete. Also, as stated above, you can jump down the bridge into Wyrmthalak's room and land on the ogre bridge, and their pockets will have respawned by that point.

Kommentar von 533794

Wondering where the best place pickpocket is now (4.0.6). Is BRS still a good place?

Kommentar von 777980

Been using the Blackrock Stronghold in Burning Steppes for over 3h now and can say I have made more progress than in LBRS, BRD and Dire Maul. 22 boxes in 15m thats nearly 100/h. That means bout 13h grind with the guild perk

Kommentar von HyGamma88

I'm a warrior yet I want to get exalted with Ravenholdt without race changing if possible. I have a alt rogue I can level. Can i level a rogue and send the boxes to my warrior and earn the rep that way, or do i have to open the boxes?

Kommentar von frisbe

Yes you can. That is what I am doing now but just remember that to turn them in, you cannot loot the contents of the boxes or they will not be counted towards rep. Just pickpocket them on your rogue and leave them locked and send to your main to turn them in. Good Luck.

Kommentar von tirinoth

Also, they sell the thistle Tea recipe, 60 skill, so that would be helpful for grinding skill or for your 200 recipe achievement. The dwarf's in the basement, for anybody who's looking.

Kommentar von 818850

I found a very nice place to farm these, close to a vendor, and with fast respawning mobs. You will need to have at least a neutral reputation with Gadgetzan to get there.

Off the Swamp of Sorrows coast, there's a ship called Fortune's Fist filled with goblins. To get there, go to Sorrowmurk and talk to Lil' Crazy Jerry just outside the town. He's next to a few cannons, look carefully because he really is little. He'll shoot you to the ship with his cannon.

At the ship, you'll find three floors with four goblins on each floor. There's just enough space between them so you don't aggro two at the same time. They respawn very fast, by the time you've killed the last goblin on the bottom floor, the top floor guys will be back. If you're around the level of the mobs (53-ish), you probably won't even have to change floors.

If your bags are full or you want to take a break, just use the cannon on the top floor to be sent back to the goblin town.

Kommentar von Chibchub123

As of 4.1 the best plave I've found is Blackrock Spire. My 85 Sub rogue with Quickening + Nightstalker + Glyph of Pick Pocket + Glyph of Sprint, using Shadow Step at every occasion I find, I get exactly 85 lockboxes in no longer than 1 hour, usually less. I've used poisons to time this... Too lazy to use the stopwatch.

For paths, do the first room, the first area in UBRS, then every single pick pocketable mob in LBRS, going to Wyrmthalak, go out of his room onto the bridge and (with safe fall + safe fall glyph) jump on to bridge below with the ogres on it, these mobs should be reset by the time you get there. (if you start getting good at the path, you can actually do it so fast that these haven't all respawned.) If they haven't respawned go to the Orcs out in front of the ogres, clear your way back to the start and do the room in UBRS again, then go back to LBRS and jump down to the Orcs in red at the very bottom. PP your way back up through the trolls (Ogres too if the pockets hadn't reset last time) then jump down again to the very bottom and PP your way back to Wyrmthalak. Very little wasted time here, I have not found a better way than this. I've experimented with Shadow Stepping from the bridge outside Wyrmthalak back to the start of LBRS(very hard jump to make) When it worked, it still wasn't as good. However, it was pretty easy to fall short and into the lava.

Working on my last 500 boxes now, then it's just 78 more epic Darkmoon decks, and about 80 hours of solo bloodsail rep farming (0/36000, I hadn't planned on doing Insane, but here I am.) I'll be working in some of my thoughts and observations on that rep when I get there. As far as I can tell it's 1,000rep/hr in Arathi highlands, but you can't just zone out and afk unfortunately. I'll be trying the grouping and killing BB guards strat too, but I doubt that is much better.

Good luck on your Rep farming! It really isn't as bad as people seem to think. I did Raveholdt from neutral to 10.5/21000 revered in less than 24 hours.

Tested just now, 85 goblin rogue.

LBRS
Time: 30 minutes
29 Heavy Junkbox
25 An Exotic Cookbook
11 Homemade Cherry Pie
7 Roasted Quail
3 Superior Healing Potion
1 Star Ruby
and pickpocketed 6g 10s.

May have just been a bad run, I feel like I've gotten more in other runs that I didn't bother timing.

After 4.0, the best place I've found to farm these is the Blackrock Stronghold in Burning Steppes. There are four packs of 25 mobs in 5x5 squares.

http://i.imgur.com/9MD9r.jpg

First you pickpocket the Sergeant that walks around the pack. I don't recommend sapping him, because when it wears off he'll ignore his normal route and walk though the pack to get to his spawn point, sometimes walking right through you.

Next, loop around the back slightly ahead of the Sergeant and pickpocket the outer 16 mobs, once done, sap the innermost mob and walk into the pack and stand inside it. You can then pickpocket the inner 9 mobs. Run away and repeat for the next pack.

I find that it takes just over a minute for each pack, then a few seconds to walk to the next while also pickpocketing the loose mobs that walk about. By the time I've finished them all, the first ones did have had their pockets respawn. Each complete circuit nets somewhere between 15 to 20 junkboxes.

Kommentar von 859649

I find the macro:

/targetenemy
/cast Pick Pocket

alot easier to use, since you just gotta spam without having to use mouse.

Kommentar von 860772

hope this information helps:
im starting to do this part in the achievement for the insane title. I have tried a few areas, BRD and Blackrock Spire. They were ok, but I didnt like the drop rates, so I tried Silithus. there are 4-5 areas of humanoids here. I liked the drop rates, but obviously you have to fly to each for a few seconds. so maybe you guys like the quicker loops in the instances better.
also if your main is not a rogue, and your alt is a rogue but of the opposite faction, the trading of the junkboxes through the auction will not work. first of all you cant auction the boxes and buy them on another alt(it has to be through a character on another account), and second the boxes cant even be put in auction. so make a rogue alt of the same faction.
uh what else. the boxes do not stack in your bags, so make sure you have empty bags when you start the farming, get that glyph of pickpocketing, and subtelty is good, because you can jump to another npc quick with shadowstep

Kommentar von kongronnie

Farmed 500 in nethergarde mines, that gave me 82 avg each h.
So that's 1360 rep each h with 10 % guild perk and 1200 without.
Been farming in lbrs and other places as well but i prefer nethergarde mines.

Kommentar von Squeezus

Anyone else got an updated going price for these? I just sold about 200 at 35g each, in the mean time there is a guy horde side trying to find someone to do it for 40g each. That seems about right considering the farming nerf and the huge gold inflation since the start of cata.

Kommentar von 900960

First run for tonight, 22 boxes.
Not too bad tbh.

Kommentar von umansia

LBRS will give you 17-25 junkboxes per full run. lets say you need 1200 junkboxes. so you have to do 60 (+5,-5) full run. again, lets say you can do full run in 15 minutes (its optimal time i think). then it is a 15 hours farming. don't be scared, it's one of the easy parts of insane...

Kommentar von sandyra

Since 4.3, Fahrad (on the balcony) no longer gives you the Plunderkisten benötigt quest for Ravenholdt reputation. But fret not - there is a new guy in town (well downstairs in the same building to be more specific) named Winstone Wolfe who will offer you the quest in Fahrad's stead. Take your Schwere Plunderkiste to him, post-haste!

It's also worth noting, that the quest reward Düsterstahlwurfmesser is no longer unique! No more tedious hand-in and vend cycles... *cheer!*

For anyone manually pick pocketing the junkboxes themselves (and I was against this for the longest time, but employing a rogue to do my bidding turned out to be too hard in the end) I found the following macro posted by semedori, allowing you to pick pocket simply by mousing over the target and hitting the macro, simultaneously assigning a star above the head of the mob as you do it, so you can work through groups more efficiently:

/cleartarget
/cast Pick Pocket
/script SetRaidTargetIcon("mouseover",1)

Kommentar von 822734

I'm sorry, but the whole "Insane" became a joke. It's just easy now and doesn't take a lot of time.

1) Started with Bloodsails - killed over and over 1 mob (Faldir's Cove, near the ship).
2) Then Goblins fractions - again 1 mob in a hut (Fray Island), then kill other mobs (use banner).
3) Darkmoon Faire - over 10k rep per month it's so easy now to get. You can turn cards as well.
4) Ravenholdt - that's the last I need actually. You can buy boxes or... Here are some simple tips:

- use glyph for pick pocketing (and opening boxes if you willing to check them)
- talents for faster moving while in Vanish (Nightstalker) are nice
- Minor Speed enchant for boots also helps a bit
- use "/targetenemy /cast pick pocket" (I have it assignet to a mouse wheel)
- I'm using LBRS, after clearing it I'm making a tea and waiting a bit for loot to respawn
- when bags are full I use heartstone to Iron Summit (Alliance) and send boxes (after checking)
- main has mailbox + "pet" with a mail; received knives are disenchanted and mats go on AH

Kommentar von Shauolin

I've tried a few areas to grind boxes and found Lower Blackrock Spire to be by far the best. The Ring of Law in BRD was alright but sometimes the drops sucked and found myself waiting around for respwans....

You will need sub spec, empty bags, an empty bank if u have a personal banker (this helps so you dont need to keep leaving to hand in and coming back) and how I did it was like so..

Enter Blackrock Spire and in the 1st room use the first door on the right which takes you into the Lower Blackrock Spire section. Go left through a corridor and enter Hordemar City, you will see some mobs in front of you and a pack of Ogres on the other side of the canyon to your right. Start your way through the instance pick pocketing everything as you go. Go across both bridges till you get to a door with 2 Ogres guarding it. Pick pocket them but dont go in the room, go past them and down a slope to the side which leads you into the Troll section.
Pick pocket this entire room before making your way down another slope into the lower rooms. Again pick pocket everything in here including side room before taking the door in the top corner which will lead you out and towards the Spider section (try not to get caught out by the trolls that move about in the middle of the room). Between the Troll and Spider section is another load of Orc Mobs stood around little camp fires etc, pick pocket all these. Once you get to the spiders ramp ignore them and stealth through them (or kill them if you wanna just get them out the way.) If you havent got the pet from the Spider Boss then kill her and grab it, 100% drop rate.
Carry on through and up the ramp to the set of ogres you saw when you first entered. Pick pocket all these and carry on up the corridor. Ignore the 2 caverns to the right with the spiders and scarabs. When you reach the end there will be 3 mobs in a triangle, there is also a orc patrolling with 2 worgs. Pick these and turn right then right again leading you up a ramp into another room. Make your way across this room picking everything you see. Leave the room in the far corner and cross the bridge to the final Boss.
Pick all the mobs in the final room and leave again. Once back on the bridge drop back down to where the ogres are below. Across the canyon will be the 1st set of mobs you started at.
Here's the fun part and why you will need sub spec. Click the closest Mob to the edge. Now use sprint and run and jump off. Spam Shadowstep and you will shadowstep across to the start. At this point all the 1st mobs pockets will have respawned and now rinse and repeat.

An average run takes 10min once you get the hang of the place and you pick everything. I gather on average say 15 boxes per run which seems a bit lower than what was previously reported, maybe a small nerf? Some runs are really good, some arent great but i've found this to be the most consistant way of looting a good amount of boxes.

Doing the math.
10 min per run and an average of 15 per run, so 15 x 6 = 90 boxes per hour average.
21000 rep from revered to exalted with 83 rep per hand in of 5 boxes. so 21000 / 83 = 253 hand ins.
253 hand ins * 5 boxes per hand in = 1256 boxes required from revered to exalted.
1256 boxes at 90 boxes per hour average = 13 hours.
1256 boxes at 15 per run = around 83 circuits of Lower Blackrock Spire.... /cry

Hope that helps some people trying to find a decent place to farm these boxes.

Kommentar von HyGamma88

LBRS:
You can run back and forth without resetting up to 3 times, however its best to do it only 2 times. Once you get to 3 the drop rate gets to low its not worth it. Pick pocket all the way up, by that time loot tables below will have reset. Jump back down run to start and make your way back up pick pocketing then go back to start to reset (rinse repeat)
Patch: 4.3.3

Kommentar von Mitsukai

does anyone know as of cata if all this is still accurate ? and do the heavy junkboxes have to be pick pocketed still?

Kommentar von kevinlin7777

also note that, there are items likeLederne Fußschützer des Marschalls for alliance and Ledertreter des Kriegsherrn for horde which increases sprint duration by 3 seconds making it last 11 seconds instead of 8. It's not much of a big bonus but every bit helps when running around collecting junkboxes

Kommentar von IMissThottbot

For Horde farming the Blackrock Stronghold 100 (GREAT place, btw), the closest mailbox I found was New Kargath in the Badlands. The mailbox can be found just beside (to the right of the entrance) the building with a catapult beside it. This way, you can pop over, mail all the boxes to an alt and carry on farming.

Alliance will probably find Lakeshire to be their closest mailbox.

Kommentar von Myriell

i PP mine from the Blackrock Soldiers and the Smolderthorn Assassins. They stand in regiments, but with a little patience you can walk between them, PP them all. But be carefull, because they might spot you, if you stand to close.

But i think they have a pretty good droprate, and i find it much easier than LBRS. You can round from the first regiment to the others, and then the first regiment would have their pockets reset, or close to.

Have fun :)

Kommentar von Stryker666

This is my little guide for farming these bad boys.

Step 1: Level a Rogue to 70+ should be fine. This is just so you have a chance of holding your own in LBRS.

Step 2: Set up a macro (Either is fine depending on how you want to play) and assign it to Mouse Wheel so you can scroll as you walk!

#showtooltip
/targetenemy
/cast Pick Pocket

#showtooltip
/cast Pick Pocket

Step 3: Set your hearthstone to Iron Summit in Searing Gorge

Step 4: Fly south to Blackrock Stronghold in Burning Steppes and Pick Pocket the 4 groups of 25 mobs their plus any extras.

Handy Hint
The mobs are stood like this.
{ }{ }{ }{ }{ }
{ }{ }{ }{ }{ }
{ }{ }{x}{ }{ }
{ }{ }{ }{ }{ }
{ }{ }{ }{ }{ }

If you sap the one with an X you can stand on his head and reach the other 24 without aggroing anyone!

Step 5: Fly to LBRS and Pick Pocket every mob to the left as you enter (towards UBRS) with the two Dragonkin guard the return to the right and Pick Pocket the rest of LBRS.

Step 6: Hearthstone to Iron Summit, Pick the lock boxes, loot anything interesting, send them to your Main (or bank alt if Rogue is the one collecting the rep)

Step 7: Rinse and Repeat!

Happy Hunting!

Useful macroses:
1. Stealing macro. I use mouse with additional buttons, it is binded to one of them. This macro allows me to steal while running near mobs.#showtooltip Pick Pocket
/cast Pick Pocket
2. Removing stuff we did not want to get while pick pocketing.

So I choosed farming LBRS. It seem to have "good" droprate in two fresh circles and not so "good" after this. When I reset instance, it seems to not affect droprate - it is still horrible. When all mobs are alive, reseting instance gives no message, when at least 1 mob is dead, it says "Blackrock Spire has been reseted", but the droprate dose not change. Reason why I´m asking because there are several comments on MMO Champions and here, claiming that reseting also affects loot tables.

Kommentar von 150843

Scholomance mobs no longer give Heavy Junkboxes. BRD clear (pickpocketing) yielded 26. Dire Maul North yielded 12.

Kommentar von 1022161

Pickpocketing in LBRS, I also found Pattern:Chimeric Leggings, and Formula: Enchant Bracer - Superior Spirit inside my heavy lockboxes. Wanted to make note since they're not listed. I'm on Tanaris, and I looted these around 3:45pm server time. Happy Wowing!

Kommentar von Baneleaf

having tried most of the sites that folks have recomended I can tell you for certain that LBRS is the ONLY spot to farm these boxes. I use my 85 sub rogue but I have done this same route on an alt as low as level 68 with no problem. First used a targeting macro of your choice. Then enter LBRS and run from top to bottom ending at Wyrmthalak. Kill him because he will occasionally drop epics that you can vendor for decent gold. Now here is where my route differs a little. I do not reset. leave the bosses room, drop down to the ogres below, then to the first area where you encounter the ogres. At this point the mobs have reset and you can to the loop over starting with the ogres, then a few orcs outside the door, then trolls and so on. I did this for an hour straight and ended up with right at 90 boxes. I time it off my poisons on my weapons just to make it easier and I log out if I have to take a short break to give the mobs I am near time to refresh so I can get some extra grabs in. I have 4 26 slot bags and even though I do carry my poisons out of habit I still have over 100 empty slots. Tyrs hand is no longer valid since the mobs dropped in level and the groups of orcs outside in searing gorge are heaving farmed and I almost always run into what I swear is a bot out there.

PS. I play on a very old very populated server and these sell for 20-25 gold per so once I finish my insane run on my main this weekend I am going to keep farming these for a while. Also I use a logitech G series keyboard and the toggle repeat function is great for farming these while watching a movie or something so you only have to guide your rogue through. Happy rogueing.

Farming some lockboxes for the Teebu's sword. Already done Insane back in may and it seems that the drop rate of boxes has gone down slightly.

Maybe to balance the fact that they removed Shen'dralar reputation grind?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeylxeNlg-c&feature=g-upl hey guys check this video out . Its my guide of gathering boxes either for selling or for ravenholdt rep.

Kommentar von Qoko

Starting this grind back up coming 5.0.5 I thought that Pickpocket was nerfed, it at least applies to the direct money gained in instances. Whether it is also for boxes in instances is hard to test due to RNG. Some notes I want to make (and I see some discrepancies when I read recent comments) based on a few hundred box farming:

The pocket rate is NOT correct on Wowhead, it's artificial. The %s stated are the fractions of times you loot a box when there is loot besides money. For most mobs, you loot a box ~50% of the time a mob has loot in his pocket. After some farming the rate of loot seems about 20%, and thus the box rate about 10%, consistent among most common farm mobs.
Cross-realm phasing of farm spots can favor instances, which possibly led to a nerf of box rates in instances. I have tested most instances recently (BRD, BRS, BWL) and am not that impressed, but I never favored these and may be biased.
Blackrock Stronghold is quite a hell due to cross-realm phasing. It is not just farming itself, also low levels on the quests and max level simply farmkilling these mobs.
For farm numbers, I prefer farming 60 and then be on my way to a mailbox. 5 and 12 are the key figures for the quest turn in and mail capacity respectively. With 60 you can send 5 emails worth of 12 turnins to an alt.
If you have farm places to yourself, farming 60 boxes takes about 30 minutes.
I can advise NOT to unlock these boxes altogether if you're just going for Ravenholdt rep and Insane. The chances to get epics in these are so low it is objectively not worth your while. The Glyph of Pickpocket helps, but you are still using 60 gcds and opening all of them to check for good loot, can take you about 5 minutes, worth another 10 boxes. And all these 5 minutes can be better spend farming more efficient ways for gold.

My two cents.

Kommentar von Trizzay

As of 5.0.4, BRD is crap. I'm getting about 30 junkboxes per hour now when it used to be closer to 100. Now the best place for me is the squads outside of Blackrock Stronghold.

Kommentar von Martika

Does it seem to anyone else like the drop rate has greatly increased on these? Doing the rounds of Blackrock I wound up with at least twice as many as I used to. I would say I get one from every third mob at least! Perhaps I'm just lucky...

Kommentar von Bengarion

A couple of other helpful hints.

RangeDisplay - an addon that displays distances. Mousing over a mob/player will display the range. Takes some of the guess-work out of your distance to the target. When it reads "0-5" engage those nimble fingers.

Stay in LBRS and stay out of UBRS. While mobs do have the boxes in UBRS it just takes way too much time killing bosses to open doors to continue. LBRS has no "gotta-kill a boss" to get through the instance.

Engineers: MOLL-E is worth it's weight in gold and the bag space. Makes clearing out your bags a breeze. You can mail the boxes and other crap without having to leave the instance. Too bad it has a 60 minute cooldown. Again, this is for level 425 engineers only.

Traveler's Tundra Mammoth - Not essential but useful to sell stuff and repair while out in the field. Especially if you decide to kill bosses and sell the loot. A little time consuming to do that, though.

A macro to help speed up the process. Assign it to a key, mouse over a target, and when the RangeDisplay reads 0-5 engage loot transporter beam. (Personally, I use the "0" (zero) key for the incidental macros and quest widgets. Makes it easy to swap out macros/item without having to reassign a key.)

/cleartarget
/cast Pick Pocket

Just so's you know. It's going to take roughly 1,300 boxes to get exalted. Assuming you start out at 11,999 revered. The exact number will depend on what bonuses you get for quest hand in's. (For me, it was 1,275. Sigh...)

I've been farming these badboys for a couple of days now and i wanted to share my experience with you guys.

Since most guides on that topic are kind of out of date and miss out on things like the new talents and glyphs or are just simply incomplete, i thought i could give it a little revisit.

First you want to do is of course empty your bags as much as possible. If you are farming for them on a twink with pretty small bags, try to upgrade them as much as you can (eg Grummlepack, Embersilk Bag or other larger bags that are easily obtained).

Second you should optimize your talents and glyphs a little. I may be Cpt. Obvious but Nightstalker and Burst of Speed is the way to go. For glyphs i would recommend Glyph of Pick Pocket (mandatory) and Glyph of Sprint (just a little helper).

Third is the nearest mailbox which is Iron Summit in Searing Gorge. You might want to bind your Heartstone there, depending on how many Junkboxes you are planning to farm.

Now to the most important part of that guide: macros!
You will find plenty of them on this topic, most of them kind of work, some are really @#$% and very few really do the job.
For me, i went with this one

/console set targetnearestdistance 10
/cleartarget
/targetenemy
/cast Pick Pocket

because you can influence which mob you want to target whereas other Pick Pocket macros have the tendency to go all over the place and target random mobs.
There are also some deleting macros for all the crap you pick up while looking for the junkboxes, but you don't want to end up losing all your boxes because of a typo in the macro.
If you don't want to delete everything by hand, just install a loot filter addon. It's much easier, it let's you loot boxes all the way to 0 empty bag slots and you wouldn't have to delete anything.

As we are now set up and ready to go, the question is: where do we go?
Many people swear on this spot in front of Blackrock where many Orcs stand around in a square all day. The problem with this spot is, that you will never be able to get a really huge amount of Junkboxes this way. The amount of mobs there is just to small to be worth it.
I much prefer to go lbrs/ubrs since it's instanced and there are plenty of circles you could use so that you allways have a constant flow of boxes coming in.
I could give you directions for the circle i found works best for me but who want to read line after line after line sounding like "turn left, next right, right, right, jump down, turn left..". That sounds like a cheat for an old nintendo game.

So i made a video guide for you to follow.

I hope all this helps you a little bit.
Thanks for reading/watching!

Kommentar von mrmikeymoo

At level 45 you can start queuing for Alterac Valley while questing, the Irondeep Mine mobs (troggs) are able to be pick pocketed for Heavy Junkboxes and have a pretty decent drop rate. This is mostly for Alliance because the mine may be taken by the time you get there on Horde. The plan is to loot all the mobs in the cave and then if you want, kill the leader of the troggs and take the mine for your team. I usually go out after taking the mine and defend about 3-4 towers in Dun Baldar alone just to make sure my team wins and I get more experience (and hardly anyone defends towers :P). If anyone sees you moving around in the mine they assume you're trying to get it, so you shouldn't have too much of an issue. If someone does say something and you notice them saying something just say you don't know how to capture the mine, and you've been trying to figure it out for forever.

The Coldtooth Mine kobolds can also be pickpocketed, but remember some of them have a flame aura which damages nearby enemies. Though if you're good enough you can avoid the damage with the Glyph of Pickpocket. This should be about the same as Irondeep, just watch your step!

Harpies can't be pickpocketed, so no need to visit those caves.

I usually get only around 10 or so Heavy Junkboxes, but this way is just for if you're still leveling and want to start with a fair lead into it. Alliance side you're almost guaranteed to win on my server so it's quick and easy to just do your own thing.

Kommentar von 877612

For all the comments that say to farm Blackrock Stronghold in Burning Steppes, I'm sure it's a great place to farm these... until three people from other realms come over and start killing the mobs. -_- On the bright side, you CAN pickpocket mobs while they are fighting other people, but the other players tend to kill them fast so you really don't get much. I tried it for almost an hour, and every time someone would leave and I'd think it was safe, someone else would just come start killing. So I gave up, at the rate I was going I would have been getting about 30/hr, and that's still waiting on respawns too. This might be a better place to farm during overnight hours, when there aren't as many people online.

I am going to continue doing it as I have been, doing Blackrock Depths, circling through the Ring of Law (and when I make a full circle I also swing into the Shrine of Thaurissan, to help give the Ring mobs time to refill their pockets). Doing it this way, I get about 50/hr.

I also made sure my rogue was my engineer. Once an hour, right about the time my bags are full, I pull out MOLL-E and Jeeves, for quick access to a mailbox and to sell junk.

Hope this helps someone in their Insanity. =)

I've found the best spot to be Lower Blackrock Spire. With the addition of Iron Summit in Searing Gorge, this instance is much more viable as a farming spot, no hearthstone needed.

Kommentar von Pzypro

I just came to a 'genius' conclusion by accident while trying to farm these in LBRS on my 61 rogue I made just for the boxes (gonna delete it afterwards).

The fastest way to get back to the entrance and to reset the instance for a fresh pickpocking run is to... wait for it... wait for it... suicide yourself against the last boss/mobs. You will die and get teleported right back near the entrance in 2 seconds instead of the tedius several minute hike back to the entrance. The few silver in repairs is nothing for the convenience.

Sheer brilliance lol.

To expand on this a bit more, if you happen to accidentally die mid way through, don't bother running back to where you left off. Just resurrect, reset the instance, and start fresh.

Kommentar von Norrell

I roughly followed the post by Fate99 on the Rabenholdt comment section for their rep until Revered.

The Taschendiebstahl macro he posted-

/cleartarget
/cast Pick Pocket
/script SetRaidTargetIcon("mouseover",1)

-was phenominal (I used it to create a mouseover macro for Kopfnuss as well). You'll wonder how you ever got along without it.

I don't like competing with people for resources so instead of running around Brennende Steppe I chose to Pick Pocket my way through Die Schwarzfelstiefen in order to get my Schwere Plunderkistees.

I know what you're saying, "But Norrell, BRD is too low for that!" Pish, no it's not. A large section of it will give you es but an equally large section will give you Schwere Plunderkistees, and if you know which sections those are there's no reason you can't farm Schwere Plunderkistees until you're doing it in your sleep.

I recommend using Stiefel - Pandarenpfoten and to speed your way through the instance, to extend your range, autoloot turned on so you don't have to loot it all manually, and to have a MOLL-E on hand to mail the Schwere Plunderkistees off to an alt for safekeeping while you continue your Schwere Plunderkiste grind.

The route through BRD is easy to learn:
1) Enter the East Garrison and activate the closing mechanism for the large dwarven gate (you know the one I mean). Don't Pick Pocket anything in the East Garrison, they'll only give you Sturdy Junkboxes. In fact, you might want to kill everything here just so you're not tempted to try them later on.

2) Move to the left and cross the large gate you just closed. Pick Pocket your way through the West Garrison and the Manufactory (you can even Pick Pocket the bosses there).

3) Move through the Grim Guzzler, don't Pick Pocket anything here, you'll only get Stabile Plunderkistees. You have to cause a disturbance for the inner door to be opened so you might as well kill everything here so you're not tempted to try.

The Thoriumbruderschaft has a vender in an alcove here so this is a good place to empty your bags of all the non-Schwere Plunderkiste junk you pick up on each loop through the instance.

4) Move through the Grim Guzzler door and Pick Pocket the 3 groups on the upper semicircle of Shadowforge City.

This next section covers a huge section, a good part of it with very few things to Pick Pocket, but it does contain 2 sections with good Junkbox yields. You may choose to cut it in order to tighten your loop through the instance, but I got so many Heavy Junkboxes there that it's worth a mention.

-------

5) Move through the Chamber of Enchantment to the Mold Foundry. There's nothing in this Chamber but a boss you don't need to kill.

6) Pick Pocket your way through the Mold Foundry.

7) Kill the Seven in the Summoner's Tomb, light the fires in the Lyceum, and kill the big molten boss to open the doors to the Imperial Seat.

8) Pick Pocket your way through the Imperial Seat. It's best to take one side (don't forget the upper floor) until you get to Emperor Thaurissan and then do the other side on the way out. You don't have to kill the Emperor or the Priestess standing next to him. You can Pick Pocket both without trouble if you hop on one of the chairs directly in front of them.

9) Run back to Shadowforge City. Some of the mobs in Mold Foundry and that semicircle of Shadowforge City might be available to be Pick Pocketed again, but there's no guarantee.

-------

10) Jump down by the Mole Machine and Pick Pocket your way through the Hall of Crafting, the lower semicircle of Shadowforge City, the Vault area, and the Domicile.

11) Avoid the 2 Dwarf mobs between the Domicile and the Shrine of Thaurissan, they only give Stabile Plunderkistees. Feel free to murder the poor bumbling bastards.

12) Pick Pocket your way through the Shrine of Thaurissan and the Ring of the Law.

This will bring you back to the East Garrison where you can begin your run again. There is no need to leave the instance. By this time all the mobs you Pick Pocketed before should be available to be Pick Pocketed again. It's very possible to do this loop until you run out of bag space (a very long time indeed with Königlicher Ranzens), at which time you pull out your handy MOLL-E to send them to an alt for turn-ins or safe keeping while you continue your Dark Iron Pick Pocket Adventure.

Hope this helped.

(This is my first guide, so please be somewhat nice!)

(Patch 5.3)
This was the last step in my quest for Am Rande des Wahnsinns. I figured I'd recap how this works in 5.3.

Setup:

Get a rogue.
Level the rogue to at least 60 or so, preferably about 70 -- it doesn't have to be 90. This way your stealth won't get broken and you have to run back.
Buy Glutseidentasche (22-slot), or at least Froststofftasche (20-slot) for each bag slot on this toon.
Clear /everything/ out of your bags. At 70, you don't need even the health potions suggested earlier. Just Vanish harder.
Purchase and apply the Ausgebrannte Glyphe. Optionally (if you plan to actually loot all the Junkboxes), get Ausgebrannte Glyphe, as well.

If you want to be super efficient about mailing off your Heavy Junkboxes, set your hearth to Iron Summit, Sengende Schlucht (A/H). This will port you a hop, skip, and a jump from the entrance to Blackrock Mountain. If your rogue is also an engineer, then just use MOLL-E.

After you that, head into Blackrock Mountain. From the Searing Gorge entrance, look up and to your left, and enter Schwarzfelsspitze. You may want to pickpocket the Normal 58-ish mobs outside BRS, since they also have a pretty good chance to drop Heavy Junkboxes. Once you're inside the instance, turn on Auto Loot (Menu > Interface > Controls > Auto Loot.) Set the Loot Key to "None". Put Pickpocket (or whatever Pickpocket macro you prefer) somewhere you can mash fast.

You will average between 20-30 boxes per pass. My best pass was about 33 boxes. My worst was 17. Typically, you can get 99 boxes in about 3.5 passes. It's something like a 10% drop rate from the mobs in BRS, in my experience.

There are 5 possible "trash" items that you'll pickpocket from mobs during this endeavor. These are:
Sternrubin (~1%)
Geröstete Wachtel (~15%)
Überragender Heiltrank (~5%)
Hausgemachter Kirschkuchen (~15%)
Ein exotisches Kochbuch (~20%)

Of these, Sternrubin is clearly the only one that's still vaguely valuable. Unfortunately, it's not valuable enough (unless you have a lowbie Jewelcrafter) to preserve. I just lined these up at the top of my pack and tossed them as I got a stack. Then at the end, you just walk around looting and destroying one stack of each as you find another junkbox.

Now for the super-detailed walkthrough!

Loot the 5 mobs on the first platform.
Go up the left ramp, take a left into the UBRS anteroom. Clockwise, loot each room of 4 mobs, ending up back on the bridge in the first room.
Take a left to go down the rear bridge, loot the 4 mobs there. Turn 180 degrees, go under the bridge. Loot the patrol of 2 at an opportune time. Loot the first mob standing outside the first room on the right. Loot the room. Loot the next mob and room, loot the final mob and room across the hall.
Sprint. Take the door on the right, go right up the ramp, then across to the left. Loot the 5 mobs in the top area. Loot the remaining 5 at the head of the ramp. Head back down, take a right to go to the next mobs (watch out for missing pavement in the shadows). Loot the final 3 mobs at the base of the ramp, take a left-left-right to go to the next area.
Head down the ramp, loot the 3 mobs at the first stop, the 4 in the middle, the 5 in a camp at the base of the ramp, and the 5 at the bridge. Cross the bridge. Loot the 4 mobs there.
Sprint. Take a right, cross the next bridge, pull up after the second mob along the wall. Loot the 3 mobs at the wall. Turn right, loot the 5 mobs nearby. Follow the left-hand wall, loot the 4 mobs there. Take a right, then a left.
Loot the two ogres, then go down the hallway they guard. Watch for the pat, loot him whenever. Loot the next 3 guards, and the 3 inside the last doorway. Go up the mound to the left. Loot the 3 ogres on top of the mound. Go down the mound at the back, loot the boss and his 2 guards. Heading toward the door, grab the ogre on the floor.
Sprint. Head out of the hallway, take a left. Loot the 4 trolls at the head of the ramp. Head down the ramp, loot the 3 trolls at the bottom. Go through the door, take a left, loot the 3 trolls at the table. Loot the patrol of 1 troll when you can. Go to the far corner of the room and loot the 4 trolls there. Head toward the group of 3 trolls, but take a right into the doorway. Loot the 4 trolls, the boss, and his 2 guards. Come back out. Loot the 3 trolls.
Take a right. Head across the stairway, looting the patrol if he's there. Loot the 3 trolls at the far side. Turn 180 to go the other way.
Sprint. Jump down and to the left. Watch out for two patrols of 2 trolls. Loot them if they're nearby. Go through the doorway straight ahead. Loot the 4 trolls, the 1 Berserker, and the boss. Go back out. Take a left.
Loot the 4 trolls in front of you. Take a right. Loot the 5 trolls in the center of the room. Angle forward and right, loot the 4 trolls in the far corner of the room. Loot the 4 trolls in front of the door to the next room. Go through the doorway. Loot the 3 orcs under the canopy, then the 1 orc to the left.
Sprint. Head through the rocks to your left, and then loot the 4 orcs under the canopy. If you forgot to Sprint before, you can Sprint now. Watch for and loot the 1 orc patrol.
Head forward and left through the passage, then loot the Orcs in the camp along the far wall. Juke left, loot the 4-5 orcs there. Move forward, and loot the 4-5 orcs there. Angle forward and left, loot the 2 orcs on mats. Loot the 4 orcs under the canopy to the left. Turn left, cross the corridor, loot the 4 orcs standing near a fire. Turn right. Go to the far wall, loot the 4 orcs from far wall to near side, ending on the 4th orc lying down. Head into the alcove on your right. Loot the far pack of 3 orcs first. Loot the near pack of 3 orcs.
Sprint. Head to the right and up the slope, cross the roof beam straight ahead, dodge the spiders. Go through the small doorway and make your way up the slope to the ogres. Loot the 5 ogres at the landing (1 ogre is a patrol, and may be further down the slope than the others).
Head up the slope further (do not Sprint yet), loot the 1 orc patrol that may be in the doorway. If not, loot him when convenient. Loot the 3 orcs in the hallway. Turn left, head up the stairway. Loot the 3 orcs at the top. Turn right, loot the 3 orcs directly across from you, and the silver 1 orc patrol. Loot the 3 orcs at the far side of the room.
Sprint. Head back the way you came, past the 3 orcs in the hallway where you came in, and then take the door on your right. Head up the stairs, then clear the 3-4 orcs (1 orc is a patrol) across from you. Turn left, clear the 1-2 orcs on mats in the corner, the 3-4 orcs standing near a fire, and then turn right to clear the 3 orcs at the back of the next section of floor. Turn left to head across the wood bridge, turn left again, and loot the 1 orc at the back of the room. Turn around, loot the 3 orcs near the door.
Sprint. Head across the bridge, loot the troll and ogre at the end. Loot the patrol. Loot the 5-member party (makeup varies) at the foot of the slope. Head to the right and up the slope. Loot the 3-member party at the head of the slope.
Wonder why Wyrmthalak doesn't have pockets.

Here is me running my route for farming LBRS , got me around 112 in a bad hour.

Kommentar von R1p0ne0ut

I agree with trapformer above. I'm averaging about 10 per loop. (best was 21, worst was 3). needless to say, it takes about 10 min for a complete loop. So, i'm averaging close to 60 per hour. I think trap said he got about 54hr so that's pretty close to what I'm getting.

one thing I'm noticing, about every third loop, i get way more than the prior 2 loops. first loop about 12, second loop about 8, third loop about 16. This pattern seems to keep repeating, at least it has during the past 6 hours I've been farming. Maybe it's just weird rng, who knows. Anyway, it's a very very very very long and tedious grind. If you are contemplating doing this grind, expect at least two full (8 - 10) hour days of grinding. if you're not able to do that much grinding, it's gonna take you a long time.

would be nice if they increased the drop rate, wishful thinking i know, but still it would make this grind a little less horrible.

Oh, I like the ogre skin rugs. I found two of them. I mean how gross can you be, using a humanoid skin as a throw rug. Nasty.

Confirming that as of 5.4 Teebu's Blazing Longsword is still contained in heavy junkbox. Looted one yesterday. Always check them before turning them in for Ravenholdt rep.

Kommentar von GazaC76

I logged on here to find a better way to farm these Nightmarish items and I came across Evankimori's way. I can say that this is the best way by far to collect Schwere Plunderkiste by farming Schwarzfelsspitze.

I yeilded on my first attempt 42 Schwere Plunderkiste's, by entering the instances and Pick Pocketing (PP) all the trash in the room as you enter. Then I PP'd the trash in the first room that leads in to Upper Schwarzfelsspitze, then i left that room and went in to Lower Schwarzfelsspitze and done what Evankimori said and just PP'd everything all the way to the end of the instance. I never logged out though and logged back in, I just went AFK for 5 mins and then came back and re PP'd everything on the way out. I then left the Instance and reset it.

I will keep you posted on my next run in there and see if this is an average per run, if it is, it is by fr the best and most tiime efficient way of clollecting these Schwere Plunderkiste

2nd run Yielded 53 Schwere Plunderkiste in around 50 mins

Kommentar von nyctric

I was having a decent time farming these junkboxes, but I overlooked one small detail that I put in motion in my farm that literally DOUBLED the junkboxes I was able to get.

It's no cheat or anything, just something I thought I'd try to speed up the process.

So, I think it's well established that the Blackrock Stronghold in Burning Steppes is a fantastic place to farm these. You have 4 tightly knit packs of Blackrock Orcs between 34.38 and 40.38.
I was having the problem, even at level 90, that trying to pickpocket the mobs within the square they form, would make them target me as they are so close together. This of course limited me to only pickpocketing the mobs on the outer rim of the square they stood in.
After going through all 4 packs and making my way back to the first pack, I was bombarded with the messages: Your target has already had it's pockets picked. This of course meant I had to wait for their pocket table to respawn. Which could take anywhere from 5-10 minutes.
Instead, I thought maybe I could force a respawn by killing them. Given that these are quest mobs, they'd surely have a quicker respawn rate. And they did.
After pickpocketing the mobs on the outside, I went my way into the middle and FoKed them down. I did this to the remaining 3 packs. When I made my way back to the first pack, about half or 1/3 of the mobs would respawn. These mobs weren't closed in together, so I could pickpocket them all! After I did, I killed them all again, and as soon as I did, the other half or 3rd of the pack would respawn.
By the time you make your way to the other packs after dealing with 1 pack, the mobs would respawn. At least they did for me - 100% of the time.
This dramatically increased my farm rate due to no longer waiting around for their pocket contents to respawn.

Best of luck to everyone.

For those seeking the Insane title, and associated Insane in the Membrane achievement, a human with the racial reputation perk in a level 25 guild gets a reputation boost. I'm pretty sure that has been said before. I'm not sure if the Darkmoon Top Hat has been mentioned in relation to this as well. That gives an additional 7-8 reputation points per turn in.

If you do get the top hats, make sure you use them when the Darkmoon Faire is in town. When the faire is gone for the month, so are the top hats. Even if you have them in your bags, they will disappear when the faire is gone.

Kommentar von Sad13uttrue

I keep seeing in the comments about people that are farming junkboxes OUTSIDE of the blackrock mountain.I was shown,by my guild master,that this route inside the BRS dungeon is better.I made a little video,with the route and other helpful information regarding this,as I am currently farming the junkboxes myself on my rogue.

Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mT4GDFatyd8
Hope it helps!Happy farming!

Kommentar von Hellschatt

If you're like me and you're farming these boxes for another character and not for your rogue, then read this.

IN THIS CASE DO NOT FARM THEM INSIDE BRS OR ANOTHER DUNGEON. Let me explain why.

It takes you 10 minutes to farm around 18 - 20 boxes inside BRS. The sprint skill of the rogue got nerfed and that's why it takes you 10 minutes instead of 8.

It only takes you around 2 minutes to farm around 12 - 15 boxes OUTSIDE. But you have to wait 10 minutes before you can loot them again.
During these 10 minutes you can log in with your character that you want the achievement "Insane in the Membrane" with and farm reputation for Steamwheedle Cartel. After 10 minutes you can log in with your rogue and gather another 15 boxes in 2 minutes. This way your maximizing your farming. Otherwise you'd always loose 8 precious minutes per round.

Kommentar von krikemancer

I constantly ran lbrs, gained about 20 lockboxes per 10 min, so 120/hour ish. Depending on beast or chill mode :)
1 clear took me about 6-7 minutes. Take in mind I had engineering, so you can glide to almost the start of the dungeon with it.

Don't do it all in one day, pretty boring after a couple of hours.

Kommentar von twosheds76

For those who have not entered Blackrock Spire since 6.0, the old portal leading to it is no longer there. You now have to walk into where the beginning of the instance was about 100 yards or so and you will see a portal to UBRS upstairs and another portal to LBRS downstairs. If you are unsure of which one to go in, it is the one downstairs.

Took me a few minutes to figure this out. I did a /reload and exited the game and re-logged thinking it was just bugged. I was beginning to think the portal grew legs and walked away but instead it just multiplied.

Kommentar von Dona4

The 4 regiments of Blackrock Soldiers at the Blackrock Stronghold, Burning Steppes definitely provide a better yield of junkboxes than any dungeon if you have access to serverhopping through premade groups or friends. If you're simply going between these 4 tight clumps of mobs, 2 available servers in excess of your own should suffice.

Kommentar von Evolyn1877

My favorite spot:
Greengill Coast on the Isle of Quel'Danas, all the murlocs that don't aggro. Starting at the north end of the coast with the camp, go all the way down to the last murloc camp, mount up, start again at top. You may have to wait 1-3 minutes for all their pockets to respawn.

Why this over Lower Blackrock Spire orcs or Searing Gorge orcs?

This allows outside mounting so I can junk all the nonboxes as needed.
Murlocs are not aggressive so I can walk through them.
My rogue is horde so the nearest bank/mailbox combo is Silvermoon. There's probably a mailbox on the isle but I've never played long enough to fill my bags and had a desire to keep going.

Macro:
/console set targetnearestdistance 10
/cleartarget
/targetenemy
/cast pick pocket
/script a = GetItemCount("Heavy Junkbox"); if a==b then b=a else print(a.." Junkboxes Looted"); b=a end

Tips

Get the Zügel des Tundramammuts des Reisenden or Zügel des großen Expeditionsyaks so you always have a vendor.
Engineers can access MOLL-E for mail and Jeeves for vendor access and bank access.
Nonengineers can access the Garrison vendor follower for GUMM-E and Walter which work as their respective engineer counterparts.
Listen to music. Helps pass the time.

Hey all,

Made a video showing my farming route in LBRS for heavy junkboxes. Does a figure 8 so it ends at the beginning so you can reset the instance, as I find that I complete the instance faster than the pockets refill, and this allowed me to have almost no downtime.

Runs averaged around 6:30, with approximately 180-200 junkboxes farmed per hour.

I cannot post the link at the moment as the account is newly registered, so copy paste is required:

I do the LBRS run on my rogue with the following macros
/run for i=0,4 do for j=1,GetContainerNumSlots(i)do n=(GetContainerItemLink(i,j)or"") if(not n:find("Hearthstone") and not n:find("Junkbox")) then PickupContainerItem(i,j) DeleteCursorItem()end end end
and #showtooltip
/cleartarget
/cast !Pick Pocket

BEWARE!: THE FIRST MACRO WILL CLEAR YOUR BAGS OF ANYTHING THAT IS NOT A HEARTHSTONE OR HEAVY LOCKBOX YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Ps. Don't be that one guy that loots all the murlocs at Sunwell and leave them alive, no one likes that guy

Kommentar von Archershirou86

figured id put in my farming area for lock boxs for this rep i used a class trial 100 to farm these as the toon that i was working on the rep for was my druid ( no pick pocket available :P ) i went to Isle of Quel'danas to greengill coast the exact spot is 3 huts the first at coords /way 64.9 50.8 5 greengill slaves are at this spot to the left at /way 65.0 48.8 there is a couple huts with 8 greengil slaves and further to the left is another set at /way 64.6 47.0 is a hut with 6 greengill slaves they dont have a high drop rate on the heavy junkbox at only 35% listed on wowhead but they respawn really fast i start at first hut and pick those 5 then i use shuriken storm to aoe them then stealth and move to spot 2 i pick those 8 normaly takes 2 shuriken storms to aoe them normaly spot 1 has alrdy respawned and i mvoe between the 2 spots but once in awhile they havent so i do hut 3 then return to hut 1 i set my hearth there on isle of quel'danas there is a mailbox there and it seems a really nice farm spot i use 2 macros for this farm 1 is pick pocket
#showtooltip Pick Pocket
/console autoLootDefault 1
/cast Pick Pocket; Pick Pocket

this macro lets u pick the pocket on mouse over and auto does auto loot for u in case u forgot to set auto loot on the class trial as i did :P
the second macro
#showtooltip Stealth
/cast Stealth
/run for i=0,4 do for j=1,GetContainerNumSlots(i)do n=(GetContainerItemLink(i,j)or"") if(not n:find("Hearthstone") and not n:find("Junkbox")) then PickupContainerItem(i,j) DeleteCursorItem()end end end
this stealth macro casts ur stealth and then auto deletes anything in ur bags that isnt a heavy lockbox or hearthstone so plz make sure u empty bags of anything that is not one of the 2 or R.I.P. bye bye important item macro 1 i have on mouse button 4 and macro 2 i have on ~ symbol keybind shuriken storm i have on mouse button 5 and of course a movie or netflix on second monitor cant hurt ^^
i hope this helps others make sure to use a rep buff when u turn in to save time and to check how long u have that class trial for with /played they onnly last 8 hours of played time
in case people are curious i created said class trial 100 rogue used hearthstone when i loaded in to be in org went outside org talked to the npc on the wolf and was ported to dalaran then i took the portal to shattrath city under dalaran and from there went to isle of quel'danas good luck to all you insane people out there i soon hope to be among u as when writing this im only about 200 lock boxs away from finishing ravenholdt and then time to finish farming goblin reps

I just opened 605 of Heavy Junkboxes and got 8 items other than usual greys. 5x Star Ruby, 1x Plans: Wildthorn Mail, 1x Plans: Thorium Boots... and 1 Teebu's Blazing Longsword.

If you are farming these to sell them for a guy who wants to get his Insane title, be sure to open them (with autoloot off) and check if there is this baby waiting for you. It's 675 000 gold @ AH at the moment.

Kommentar von VioletPisces

I am really surprised more people haven't mentioned Fields of Honor in Burning Steppes for farming these lockboxes. There are 4 packs of mobs that instantly re-spawn when dead. Three mobs are located directly in front of Blackrock Stronghold and a fourth mob is located behind a hill straight across. With a pick pocketing macro, you can loot and kill all four mobs very fast. Since this isn't instanced, you can do this farm on class trial toons and you don't need to worry about instance lockouts. This also appears to be a popular spot for monk transmog farming so if you are lucky, monks will take the three mobs in front of the stronghold and leave you with the mob behind the hill. The re-spawn rate is so fast that you barely have enough time to cast stealth before your group re-spawns and you don't have to move an inch. Very efficient.

Kommentar von Woopdido

Sorry for not superb english.

What I do when I farm junkboxes is going to Lower Blackrock Spire having my HS at Iron Summit, Searing Gorge. (have a mailbox and a fast route to the dungeon)
Then I pick pocket everyone (including the 10 just right up the stairs when you enter) all the way down to the first set of ogres in Mok'Doom where the first boss is (Highlord omokk). Then move back over the bridge to Hordemar City and turn left and just pick pocket everything exept for the beast's and the last boss at Chamber of Battle (Overlord Wyrmthalak), then I run across the bridge agen from there and jumps down the first crack in the floor on the left side, and start over in Mok'Doom at the first boss agen, and just repeat. Each run takes about 7 minutes as a night elf with the Nightstalker talent, and give me 15 - 20 junkboxes each round. No need to go out and reset, no need to kill anything, just runing round's between the first and last boss with a trip in to every other bosses on the way. I have a junbox guild and use mobile banking to transfare some of the junboxes directly without leaving the dungeon.

Kommentar von Homerros

I found it best to go to the Fields of Honor in Burning Steps and actually pull the block of mobs(While stealthed) and stand in the middle of them and spam this macro:
/targetenemy
/cast Pick Pocket

The adds will be in a circle around you and this way u pick pocket extremely fast. The only down side to this is that if you do get hit by any of them you would have to vanish and go for it again. I did this as a lvl 120 rogue and maybe once every 30 min a random mob would get one on me. This method is way easier and more efficient than going to each mob 1 by 1 instead they come to you while u stand still and click 1 button.
Don't forget to Auto Loot on for this to work.
Btw they have a really quick re spawn time, make sure you kill them after your done pick pocketing the pack before going to the next.

Kommentar von DeepsArea52

Ok this guide is for 8.0.1 (BfA)

150 Heavy junkboxes per hour give or take a few. No competition.

Addons: Dejunk, Postal

Macro: /cleartarget /targetenemy /cast pick pocket

Hearth set at iron summit (searing gorge)

Spec Subtlety with nightstalker talent. (mine was lvl 100)

BRD:
1. Go in go to Domicile Pick everything
2. Sprint across bridge to Shrine of thaurissan pick everything
3 Go up ramp to ring of law and pick everything
4. exit down ramp and hang right and skip all the mobs until the end 3 at shadowforge door (they drop sturdy junk boxes) then jump down towards Bael'gar pick everything up to him. Head to entrance and reset

The run takes 6-7 minutes generally so never have to worry about the reset but after trying a lot of the above suggestion noticing they are mostly 7-8 years old this is a very quick way to farm the 1400 or so Heavy junk boxes needed for exalted with Ravenholdt.

Kommentar von NcJackson

I used three methods to achieve exalted with Ravenholdt over the period of a few days.

Fields of Honor (avg 80-100 boxes p/h)
Farming the junk boxes from fields of honor is extremely easy however, respawns can be incredibly slow if there are not enough rogues in the area farming. I find having someone else pick pocketing as well as killing mobs makes the respawn very quick, however if no one is in the area or too many - this can prove quite a long lengthy grind.

Lower Blackrock Spire (avg 120-160 boxes p/h)
This is a great place to pickpocket whilst watching TV. It requires no real attention and is an easy grind with no competiton. I found each run took approximates 6-7 minutes and the drop rate from mobs inside the instance seems quite high with getting 20-32 boxes on some runs!

Isle of Quel'Danas - Murlocs (avg 200+ boxes p/h)
This was probably the easiest method for me. On the coast there are hundreds of murlocs, many of which have 4 to 5 groups in close proximately. I decided to ask my husband to bring his monk along, chuck down a statue to aggro them all and then nuke them all down once I had spammed my pickpocket macro. Once they all died, more would instanty respawn and be aggro'd. This was a great method as I did not have to worry about the time to go in and out of stealth, as well as having to run from area to area.

I waited till the Darkmoon Faire was up to grind this reputation and hand in the junk boxes, obtaining the WHEE buff from the Darkmoon funfair ride - which gives an extra 10% on reputation gains. Stacked with my human racial each 5 boxes rewarded me 90 reputation with each turn in.

Regardless of what area you are grinding in and what method you use PLEASE have respect for other players who are also grinding junk boxes.

Kill what you loot - it saves a lot of time, not just for others but also helps respawns
Don't kill out of spite - going around the killing all mobs and especially when someone is mid-looting out of anger is not nice. Be patient and respect others
Be Kind - whispering players and telling them to f**k off is pathetic. This is a MMORPG, there are going to be other players everywhere and whispering such thing just makes you look incredibly petty.
Don't ruin people's grinds - if you see someone used a method (like the murloc method above, respect that. Hanging around to kill mobs for no reason other than to upset other players is very douchy. Always be cool.

Good luck everyone (Y) Push on and enjoy the grind!

I'm farming as I level, and looted one of these from an Unyielding Knight in Hellfire Peninsula today. Didn't see that npc on the "Pickpocketed from"-list, so there you go.

The other day I found a Teebu's Blazing Longsword in one junbox as well, so check your boxes before handing in B).

Kommentar von Fugitivefootie

Farming these in Lower Blackrock Spire is still effective. There are about 200 mobs, and I averaged 19 boxes per run. These stats are form 6 runs. Each run takes about 9.5 minutes from the first pickpocket to leave the instance. I did my runs without resetting the instance. There were some runs where I would go 20+ mobs without a box, and there were sometimes I went 5+ mobs in a row and each dropped a box. Perseverance is key.

Kommentar von Mipsen

Got a Alcors Sonnenschneide out of one

Kommentar von Tytrianna

Just got a Teebus Langschwert der Loderflammen from one of these while farming for the Insane in the Membrane achievement! Its definitely worth it to take the extra 3 mins to open each round of boxes before mailing them to your main/ turning them in!

Kommentar von Ninjard

Honestly, if you're not eager to farm the boxes and can leave a character there, I'd recommend just leaving your toon by Blackrock Stronghold in the Fields of Honor. I waited until groups were farming the mobs and simply leeched boxes. I used the following macro while directing the camera.

/console set targetnearestdistance 10
/cleartarget
/targetenemy
/cast pick pocket

I was able to fill my bags (105 boxes) in 21 minutes during the run I timed. My rogue wasn't the highest level, so I had the occasional issue with damage interrupting my groove and needing to manually clear the target when a caster ogre was just out of range of the groups' aoe. So this could even be more efficient, which is insane!

Kommentar von eKatherine

I got some of these off mobs in the Blasted Lands while I was leveling there. My level is too low to open them yet.

Kommentar von ChaosSnek

Current as of 8.1: See my comment on the Ravenholdt faction page for a method of farming 200+ junkboxes per hour.

Kommentar von knugen

For easier hand-ins forPlunderkisten benötigt, there are two toys you can use to aid you: Katys Stanzpfeife and MOLL-E and they do not share CD so you may use both of them to hand in your boxes and both of them lasts for 10 min each. Katys Stanzpfeife you get from a quest-chain starting with Verlorene Post(BoP) or Verlorene Post(BoE) and require lvl 98 to start and complete. There's also the Zügel des Argentumponys that you can apply to your Argentumknappe(A)/Argentumgrunzling(H) that you can use for 3 mins before it's set on a CD. If you have all three of these items, you can get up to 23 minutes of mailbox service while not leaving the Ravenholdt Mansion (non-engineers get 13 mins at most with these). These may also be used to farm the Schwere Plunderkistees.

Kommentar von X2GG

And here I am,, after 1400 boxes I was happy when I saw an epic :D.. just to get slapped on the face to Alcors Sonnenschneide and then Schattenklinge :(

Kommentar von ekrietlow

as of at least 8.3, Junkboxes can be in your bank without having to retrieve them for the turn in.

Ive got a bank bag full of them and its still letting me turn them in with 0 in bags.

FYI!

Kommentar von Lorolas

Can still be pickpocketed from humanoid NPCs in Lower Blackrock Spire in the Shadowlands pre-patch.

Kommentar von Jman9000

Unfortunately im fairly certain theyve nerfed the spawn rate for the Murlocs in Greengill Coast before Shadowlands i remember averaging about 5-6 per min (which the route i take is only a minute long) and now i would be lucky to get 3 per min and to be honest its kind of bull**** if they really did nerf the spawn rate for something like this if anyone else noticed this or have anything else to say feel free to comment and let me know but i really hate Blizzard if theyve truly nerfed the spawn rate here

Kommentar von mimie9419

post shadowlands the best place to farm these is now Fields of Honor in Burning Steppes (outside blackrock stronghold). There are 4* packs of soldiers all close together which spawn fast if you just pickpocket and kill them in turn, ignoring the single adds around the side. Can get 150+ lockboxes an hour just by going between these 4 packs.

*Don't be like me and assume there are only 3 packs, there is a 4th group hiding behind the hill, including those can basically double your box count due to faster respawn timers if they are killed

Kommentar von bshild94

Hi there! If your reading this and you have accumulated 11999/12000 and Ravenholt is your last part for the Insane title, Congrats! Your at the half way point of the whole grind! If your not I strongly suggest reading a full guide for what is required for the Insane title.

Currently as of 5/28/2021 which is the day I earned my FoS the best place to farm these is at the Fields of Honor outside Blackrock Stronghold I start off with the 3 packs of 25 and pickpocket each mob before heading to the next pack I fan of knives them down and move to the next, remember which order you cleared the packs. When done with all 3 there is another pack of 25 behind a hill pick them and kill them all and go back to the pack you first cleared. 3/4 of the pack should of respawned pick there pockets kill them, if a few mobs spawn as soon as you killed the first ones pick them kill them move to the next pack in order.

This worked the best for me I was getting around 150-160 boxes an hour. I also did this on WM and had only 1 person in the whole 10 hours of grinding this taken me show up which I invited to them to the party and told them they can loot the mobs I kill(they were here to farm boes). Depending on if your a Human or wait for a holiday, Darkmoon Fair, or Anniversary its about a straight 8-10 hour farm. The biggest advice I can give is farm in segments so you don't get burnt out I would farm 138(my total bag space) Mail them to main char who had rep. Then take a 15-30min break or longer depending on if I was hungry or not. I also highly recommend getting a very long playlist of music you like. This is currently the longest and most brutal grind in the game in my opinion aside from farming Netherwing eggs from mobs.

If you have made it this far and have considered using this as your farming method feel free to comment below what other things you did to make your experience better, by the end of the grind you will have looted around 1100-1400 boxes depending if you stacked rep bonuses, looted enough Cherry Pies and Roasted Quail to feed a village for a year and probably 30 to 40 star rubys.

I hope this helps thoses who have considered working on this title and Thank you for reading this.

Open them with auto-loot turned off! I kinda wasn't gonna do it but I got blessed with a Teebus Langschwert der Loderflammen

Kommentar von Cakins

Opened 1100, got a few greens.

Kommentar von Woopee1

Just completed the rep grind. Something that helped me speed up the pickpocketing was making a mouseover macro, standing in the middle of the packs and just tapping all the name plates.

The other HUGE improvement for me was an addon called "Loot What I Want" which lets you "blacklist" certain items so you don't pick them up and also speeds up the looting window.
I blacklisted the other items and was just auto looting boxes, eliminating the need to clear bags.

Kommentar von Immahoot

As of today, 5 Aug, 2022, Field of Sorrows was giving STURDY boxes, NOT Heavy ones. This is 9.2.5+

Back to LBRS I go :D

Kommentar von Harwod

Simple 10.1 macro to turn-in quest:
/run CompleteQuest(1)
/run GetQuestReward(1)

Kommentar von SACrumpet

While Winde des Refugiums is active, non-humans will need 940 junkboxes from 11999/12000 Honored all the way to Exalted. With the Darkmoon Faire rep buff, or as a Human, you will need 880.

Kommentar von Quaaid

Just to echo what some other recent (as of DF) comments have said, I truly believe that Fields of Honor near Blackrock Stronghold in the Burning Steppes is the way to go. As has been said, there are 3+1 groups of 25 (3 groups outside the stronghold, 1 to the southeast over a hill) that can be mindlessly farmed with a good drop rate. Spec your rogue assa and go for talents that increase fan of knives range and decrease energy costs. I am doing this in moderately small doses of 30 minutes at a time and it's not too awful. With the Diablo 4 cross-promotion buff plus DMF being in town, this is a semi-manageable grind.

Edit: Spent time in LBRS as well just to test the various approaches. I still believe that Fields of Honor is the fastest way, with the notable distinction: as of the final day of DMF with the Diablo 4 cross-promo 50% rep buff up, with WM off it was crowded. I had a lot more luck with WM on, but that can get dicey as well. There were a couple times I had to straight up leave due to pvp. All in all, I think FoH with WM on is best, FoH WM off second best, and LBRS third. That said, with FoH you have to be prepared to just walk away sometimes. LBRS is better for a steady/known lockbox-per-hour rate. FoH is more volatile.

Tried the 3 most popular methods. Here's what I found:

Burning Steppes (outside Blackrock Stronghold): Pickpocket the big 25-mob camps. There's 3 directly outside the stronghold, and 1 over the hill nearby. Abysmal respawn times while soloing that require you to pick at the edge camps to force the big packs to spawn. Not a fan.
Lower Blackrock Spire: Fall off at the beginning, then run backwards and pickpocket everyone on your path back to the entrance. Or run the whole dungeon and pickpocket everyone. No competition (if that's a problem, which it's not for me since I ran into approximately nobody doing the other spots). Kinda tedious but literally a straight line from start to finish. Getting out of the dungeon without doing some instance trickery is annoying. If you kill and loot the mobs you'll get a lot of mogs for the first few runs.
Isle of Quel'danas (Greengill Coast): Pick and then kill the Grünkiemensklave camps. Very little downtime, you'll basically be picking pockets constantly. Drop rate seems highly variable, but the murloc pool is unlikely to clutter up your inventory space. I used the very last two camps directly across the water from each other.

Of the 3, I'm not sure which one is the "best" for boxes per hour. But in terms of being a steady easy grind for a solo player, Greengill Coast wins out for me. Burning Steppes has bad solo respawns and LBRS requires you know how (and be the appropriate level, 50+) to leave instances quicker than running back. You can also access vendor mounts in Greengill to sell off junk

These aren't the only places to farm; the boxes drop from any caps-at-30 Kalimdor/EK mob, so you could try Twilight Cultists in Old Silithus or Scarlet Crusade in Plaguelands or whatever strikes your fancy.

I looted about 120 of these today before turning them in for rep and got Quecksilberanhänger Vorlage: Rubinschlange Rezept: Großer Steinschildtrank which do not include heavy junkbox as a source for them.

Kommentar von Fanatao

Just something I noticed when looting junkboxes. Speed is key but don't go too fast! I noticed if I went too fast it would sometimes loot everything except the gold which is fine until you are making your next circuit. When I went quickly and did not completely loot everyone my drop rate when from 10-16 boxes per round down to 5. I think its because if you do not get the money then that is all you can get the next time with no chance of anything else like the boxes. Its just a theory but overall I found it much more efficient to slow down a little and sometimes have to click on someone a few times.

I personally used the following macro. It loots whoever you are mousing over, puts a marker on them so you know who you have done, and Saps to disorient them. I never had trouble getting spotted being a level 70 rogue but the Sap was an extra precaution. Also at this point Sprint is ability I used to speed up between far spaced groups but did not incorporate into macro because I want to waste it for groups close together.

/cast Sap
/cast Pick pocket
/script if not x or x>8 then x=1 end; SetRaidTargetIcon("mouseover",x); x=x+1
