Kommentar von H4ckelf

Für alle Schurken die diese Kisten gezielt farmen möchten, gibt es einen relativ guten Fleck in der Brennenden Steppe.
Vor der Schwarzfels-Festung (35, 36) stehen drei große Gruppen in Formation.
Diese haben einen kurzen Respawn-Zeit von ca. 5-6 Minuten und haben oft eine Kiste dabei.

Einfach ein Taschendiebstahl-Makro schreiben, durchlaufen und die Mobs danach killen.

When you are doing this quest, unlock the junkbox and loot the stuff but leave the cheapest loot behind. This way, you get some of the coin/loot, but you also have the junkbox to turn in.

I have started my quest to get Ravenholdt exalted as a Level 70 Shaman. =] Turned in my first 5 of these today, hopefully getting 5+ rogues farming the Junkboxes for me by the end of the week. Wish me luck!

Without any clue still as to the result of grinding out these for reputation to some unknown reward, it's nice to note a small and profitable shortcut for rogues when grinding out humanoids.
Pick the locks on the junkboxes, shift+click open the box so you don't loot it's entire contents. Remove all but 1 item(s) in the box. I usually leave the guaranteed rogue poison reagent, which sells for pennies. Turn in 5 of these 90% looted, unlocked boxes 75 rep and a throwing dagger that sells for 1g32s53c. (note, the throwing daggers are unique, and you must sell it before turning in again. There is a vendor in the basement to help with this, a small annoyance). You likely won't be turning in more than 20 boxes, so it's brief.

Kommentar von welcomatt

You can start this quest at level 50.

Kommentar von 131361

you dont need to loot the box to do the quest

Kommentar von 131952

Worth doing if you're an enchanter (or like me, disenchanter of BOP's who sells mats) because these knives disenchant into https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=16202 which sell pretty well on my server - sometimes up to 7g.

Is this ALWAYS repeatable? Or only till some level like exalted/honored ???

Kommentar von Mageorama

Getting this rep to exalted need to be an achivement

Kommentar von 231094

To get to 999/1000 Exalted from 0/3000 Neutral you need to turn in 2,800 lock boxes.

42,000/75=560
560*5= 2,800

Good luck, and happy lock picking ;)

Kommentar von wingman

If I farm a bunch of these on my alt rogue and send them to my non-rogue main, can I do this quest? Wowhead classifies it as rogue only, but I don't know of another method for getting from revered-exalted?

Kommentar von 82181

From experience, this rep will take roughly 2-3 days of solid hard work. Assuming you have a rogue alt to farm the junkboxes. (LBRS is a good place also).

Kommentar von 191718

I suggest you delete the rewards.

well if you got 16 k over like i did, pick up the travelers tundra mammoth =) that way you get some cash aswell
^^

/cast Pick Pocket

Bind this to your mouse scroll-wheel (provided you have one) and just sneak around rolling the mouse wheel. No extra clicking required, makes farming quicker.

Kommentar von 204676

I just finished Pick pocketing every mob in Tyr's hand , yes even the the ones wondering on the side of the mountains and in every building, I received 13 Heavy Lockboxes, this took about 15 minutes

The good news is, you don't have to be concerned with getting any other type of lockboxes like the Sturdy ones that drop from lvl 49-52 mobs in Winterspring.

Kommentar von SJBequeath

As a level 58 rogue, I chose to do a run through Blackrock Depth's Ring of Law. I recommend this area for rogues at least 53. There are no guards on patrol (one Fireguard makes his way to the top of a ramp and turns around) and all the mobs stay still, lowering your chances of being detected (unless you jump blindly into one, like I did). Make a run through, find a safe place, pick the boxes (if it was a bad run go afk for a minute) and the mobs have refilled their pockets.

Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention to how long this took. But I did 10 complete circles and one partial one. On 10 full circles, I acquired 49 junkboxes (hence why I did the partial - consisting of 9 mobs or so).

Junkboxes on each circle: 4, 7, 6, 10, 3, 7, 6, 1, 5
Average junkbox per circle: 4.9
Average Wealth per circle: 1g 20s 23.7c

Other good drops: 2 star rubies.

Including the partial run, I ended with 50 junkboxes, 12g 2s 37c gained in wealth, and 3 star rubies - not including, of course, all the Alterac Cheese, Homemade Cherry Pies, Hickory Pipes, Deep Fried Plantains, and Superior Healing Potions I passed up.

As an observation, my bad run for junkboxes were also bad runs for wealth, and I could tell I'd come up short on boxes when I got more than 3 mobs with just copper.

Kommentar von 476731

how many times can you turn in this quest?

Kommentar von 571152

You guys really forget one thing. There is TWO vendors in the basement. Facepalm.

Kommentar von 575599

After accidentally destroying two junkboxes out of my first 30, first by having autoloot on by mistake, then reflexively clicking on the 2s inside a box with no other junk, I have decided I am too dumb to try opening any more boxes. On the bright side, I can now avoid using a glyph slot on pick lock, and some Ravenholdt trainee can have a fair chance to score his very own epic dagger.

Kommentar von 25453

Ive found Scholo the be the best Box per hour ratio.

Doing the fast circuit I can get 30 per run, each run takes about 15 mins so no problem what so ever with the 5 per hour dungeon limit

Would definatly reccoment a Travelers tundra mount and argent squire with bridal for those non engineers out there

Kommentar von Taiyoken

If you want to pick boxes faster before you turn them in, I strongly suggest Ausgebrannte Glyphe

Kommentar von Thottbot

The quest has a blue ? meaning its repeatable but the reward is unique. I've only turned this quest in one time. I gained reputation with Raven but lost rep with syndicate. I don't know of anything you get for having rep with either one and the knives aren't really that good, so what's the point?

Kommentar von Thottbot

, u get a gold for handing in the boxes then get the knives.

Sell the knives and repeat. made some nice gold till I got past collecting them.

Kommentar von Thottbot

We know how to get the junkboxes, but where, as in, which zone

Kommentar von Thottbot

Just cruise through Thott a bit. Heavy Junkboxes picked off of mobs lvl 50 or higher.

Kommentar von Thottbot

dude eastern plaguelands and western plaguelands is where you gotta be...I suggest tyr's hand... many people all pickpocketable... most with heavy junkboxs.

Good Luck =)

Kommentar von Thottbot

...for those of you who have reached Outland and can fly to Honor Hold, there is a mine beneath the hold, which you enter from the western side; there are quests there as well. Pick the pockets of the level 59 and 60 Sappers inside the mine, and you will occasionally rewarded with a Heavy Junkbox (and on rare occasions, from the three Succubii patrols as well). I farmed here for about 12 hours and got about 50 of them. At 305 lockpick skill they are still green, and I will probably post an addendum as to when they turn grey...unless anyone jumps in before me...

Kommentar von Thottbot

I got some from the Timbermaw bears at Azshara. Pretty fair drop rate.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I reached exalted after a lot of efforts

main reward of it is a load of blind powder, from collecting the boxe's insides.

(quite a few months supply imo) ;)

Kommentar von Thottbot

So if I do this quest...I can unlock the boxes for skill and loot everything but the money in the boxes right? Does anyone know how many times I can repeat this quest?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Just to let you know in case you didn't, you can loot the money from boxes just leave something in there or the box will be gone after looting. The throwing knives you get are worth 1g32s.

Kommentar von Thottbot

oh and it is repeatable and your lock picking skill will increase.

Kommentar von Thottbot

the best place to find em is in BRD at the top of the arena after u actually do the arena go to the top where the dwarves turn yellow and they wont attack u u can pickpocket em with out gettin killed

Kommentar von Thottbot

In response to one of the above comments. There is actually some very nice rogue tailored loot. Which starts with the quest in Ravenholdt Manor at lvl 52. And ends in Azshara with a mask, boots, or a cape offered as rewards. So it is definitely worthwhile to aid the Ravenholdt. Although I have yet to see any reason to build up reputaition with the Syndicate.

Kommentar von Thottbot

For those that are, like i was for a while, not aware that Ravenholdt also has a basement: there are two npc's were you can sell your knives to.

And about the junkbox "pickpocket rate", I've never noticed a difference among different areas.

Kommentar von Thottbot

If your Friendly or neutral with the timbermaws just go into azshara click war with timbermaw and pickpocket them you dont lose rep but you get alot of boxes if they resist wich doesnt happen often just run or vanish. if you kill them you lose 25 rep

Kommentar von Thottbot

It was mentioned by another poster that Ravenholdt rep allows you to get some excellent rogue quests--this is NOT true (well, sort of). WoWwiki has all the details on Ravenholdt rep (http://www.wowwiki.com/Ravenholdt), but I'll try to point out the highlights.

In your early 50s, your rogue trainer will SEND you to Ravenholdt Manor, beginning a series of quests (the final stage is https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=8236/der-azurblaue-schlüssel). Supposedly, Ravenholdt NPCs will talk to you and give their quests provided you are at least neutral. You start out neutral with Ravenholdt, and the only way to lose rep with them is to kill them, so provided you haven't been randomly slaughtering Ravenholdt NPCs, you will be able to get your rogue quests. You should NOT have to grind Ravenholdt rep in order to get your rogue quests.

I haven't actually tested that only neutral rep is required to get the lvl 50-ish rogue quests (my rogue was friendly with Ravenholdt by that time), but I've never heard of any higher rep being required. Further, as this series is analogous to several other class-specific quests at this level, I find it odd that rogues alone would need to do a rep grind to get theirs.

At this time, there is no known reward for Ravenholdt rep, other than the ability to speak with the NPCs at neutral (and they won't give you quests until you're neutral anyway). The only services they offer are some vendors in the basement, rogue training, and three sets of quests: this one, turning in syndicate emblems, and the lvl 50-ish rogue quests.

If you have gone and killed some Ravenholdt NPCs and can no longer talk to them, you can get your rep back up to neutral by killing Syndicate mobs. (This is a relatively new functionality, provided specifically for those people who have dropped below neutral and can't get the quests.)

It is currently unknown as to whether or not there will ever be a purpose for Ravenholdt rep. I assumed that Ravenholdt was unfinished content, and therefore we would almost certainly see more use for that rep in the future. BUT, friends who have played the game much longer than I have insist that there used to be a rogue-specific reward for Ravenholdt rep that has since been removed in the name of balance--therefore there may never be a reward. Anyone else reading this: please correct me here if I'm mistaken :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Details on this quest:

Yes, you can unlock these boxes and loot most of the contents, and still turn them in for the quest provided that you leave at least one item inside. These boxes often contain a gray item, such as coarse snuff or shabby knots, so that's a great choice to leave in there. Supposedly, you CAN turn in these boxes as a non-rogue (haven't tested that myself), but as the boxes only come from pickpocketing, you will never get your hands on them as a non-rogue unless a rogue friend trades them to you.

The only reasons you would continue to do this quest would be to sell the knives, or because you have an obsession with earning pointless rep. The 1-odd gold is a nice bit of free cash for awhile, but at higher levels I don't think it's particularly worth it for a run clear back to Hillsbrad and up to the manor. In order to save time, you might try mailing these boxes to a bank character after looting most of the contents, and then stuff several dozen in your bags to do multiple turn-ins at a time.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Completing Heavy Junkboxes the easy way:

1) Make Tarren Mills (or Undercity) your Hearthstone waypoint.
2) Fly down to Flame Crest in the Burning Steppes.
3) Go to Dread Maul Rock (app. 85,50) and head into the first cave as you go up the path up the mountain.
4) Sap every Firegut Ogre along the way. I was getting about 1 Heavy Junkbox for every 5 ogres. I got 7 in less than 10 minutes.
5) Hearth to TM (or UC then fly to TM) and run over to Fahrad and turn in quest. The Dusksteel Throwing Knife you get is pretty nice.

BTW, this quest only helps your reputation ONCE. Also, if you already have the Dusksteel Throwing Knife on you or in your backpack, you can't complete the quest. Therefore, the ONLY reason to complete the quest more than once is for the silver (amount unknown---guess 40s or so) you get from selling the Dusksteel Throwing Knife at a vendor (it's soulbound) and then getting a new one when you complete the quest again, i.e. it's a waste of time.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

To repeat this quest you must sell/discard your the original reward.

Faction Increase= +75 Ravenholdt,+75 Ravenholdt

Flipping between Dusksteel Throwing Knife and Gryphonwing Long Bow with +5 scope
Listed DPS: 42.5 vs 36.1 (+5/2.7 speed) Looks like you should use the knives
Equipped DPS: 62.5 vs 71.5 But stay with the bow

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This isn't actually rogue only, I was offered this repeatable (blue ?) quest as a Tauren Warrior, taking a trip to Ravenholt to buy some Engineering plans. I'm not sure what use other classes may have of this quest though, or even if they can get the required items.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

If you take Auto loot off you can leave a few copper in the boxes and they will not vanish on ya.

Unless the Dev Team puts in something special in the future with Ravenholt I don't see the need to boost rep more than the one time. DO they give anything worth while?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

how come I got this quest at lvl 25... when the things i need to pickpocket are lvl 52+? =\

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I just turned 5 boxes and received 1 throwing knife...

I wonder, why are they giving me only 1 knife... is it really ment to be used as thrown weapon? It has a UNIQUE on it, e.g. I can have only one. ROFL!

Anyway, when i went to any vendor, he will buy this 1 piece of throwing knife for 1g32s53c... I guess, that's just waaaaay tooooooo expensive ammo to throw it away.

just my oppininon

Kommentar von Allakhazam

which mobs give these junkboxes, more of the syndicate?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

subject line

Kommentar von Allakhazam

So if knives are repairable now, does that mean this quest is only worth doing once?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

What do these knives DE into? Based on their item level of 52, I'm guessing Illusion Dust, GEE's, or LBSes. That might make this worthwhile for enchanter rogues...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Junkboxes Needed
-------------------
My rogues need to hone their lockpicking skills, and I need locks of adequate difficulty -- the stuff Zan makes us is unfit for all but the lowliest neophytes.

Tell ya what, if you bring me 5 Heavy Junkboxes, I'll provide you with some of the finest throwing knives known to roguekind.

You can unlock the boxes and rifle through them, but you'll have to leave at least a few coins in them... even a rogue in training needs motivation.
----------------------------
(turn in)
May these knives find a place in someone's heart.

Literally.

REWARDS: 200x Dusksteel Throwing Knife
35-65damage + 1-7shadow damage 1.80speed 30.0 dps
Increased Ravenholt faction?
-----------------------------
Who: Fahrad, rogue trainer on balcony at Ravenholt.
What: Bring him 5 Heavy Junkboxes
Why: Throwing knives, possible faction - no "faction increased" message or visible faction increase. =/

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I did this quest for the first time just now and got 50 rep with Ravenholdt and -250 rep with Syndicate. Still no XP but those daggers are better than the daggers I've seen to buy. I don't know if this is just for the first time turning it in yet but it did give me 50 the first time regardless. Mabey, eventually Rep with them will be worth the effort :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

farm felwood felpaw furbolgs for timbermaw rep, at the same time, pickpocket them and collect the heavy boxes. you should get 5 in under 20 mins.

enjoy.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

+75 to raven for sure people

Kommentar von Allakhazam

this sasy attained at lvl 60.. well thats wrong.. I got and have done this quest at 50 and done it again at 51 while I was doing the lvl 51 Rougue quest for the ebon mask

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It is repeatable, as it's just another one of the blue ? guys...

you can get the junk box off any mob that you can pick pocket.. I'd say over 52.. may have to be a bit higher.. not sure :)

didnt' realize the reward when I was doing it..so now I just carry around dagers that probably won't get used.. as I have a stats bow in that slot...

and no rep increase from what I could tell.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Next to useless quest. No Exp, no rep increase, daggers sell for next to nothing, and are hardly worth using. You're better off taking the silver pieces from the junkboxes.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I'm a level 60 rogue, I got +50 rep with Ravenholt (while friendly) and -250 rep with the syndicate (while hated)

Kommentar von Obika

This quest is incorrectly tagged as "rogue". Any class can do it, provided a rogue pickpockets the junkboxes for you. Worth noting that it is the only Ravenholdt quest that non-rogues can do, as well as the only way for non-rogues to get Ravenholdt rep.
