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).

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.

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.

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

Recieved Plans: Raidant Boots out of one of these.

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.

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.

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. :)

lol @ the guy who got the blazing longsword from it

Commentaire de Thottbot

what is the skill requirement for these? has to be atleast 200

Commentaire de Thottbot

Orange=250
Yellow=275

Commentaire de Thottbot

Junkboxes are pickpocketed off mobs occasionally, and they usually just have money. Every so often they have vendor junk or a potion. And one time I got a heavy junkbox with a Dragonscale Band... thought it was a bug at first, now I see it's just a very rare occurence.

I found an enchanting recipe in one of these, demonslaying :)

I just recently went to Ravenholdt for my lvl 50 Rogue quest and had a chat with Fahrad. Seems you can turn in five of these for 'some of the finest throwing knives known to rogue kind.' Yet to turn some in though. Seems like he'll accept ones you've looted, if they have atleast one thing to be looted from them.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Does turning in heavy junkboxes give rep?
if so how much?
also does anyone know anyother ways of gaining rep with ravenhold once friendly?

Commentaire de Thottbot

You gain 50 rep with Ravenholt for each turn in. But you don't gain reputation with the Syndicate, you loose 250 rep each time.

Syndicate and Ravenholt are enemies, remember? :)

Commentaire de Thottbot

I wonder if there's anything special that happens if you get Friendly with BOTH factions.

It is possible.

From www.wowwiki.com/Syndicate :

"There is one possible way for rogues to become friendly with both the Syndicate and Ravenholdt, but it would very likely require hundreds of hours, and to knowledge has not been attempted. Turning in Syndicate Emblems to Ravenholdt guards doesn't lower your reputation with the Syndicate. With this in mind, one could turn in one Emblem and gain 100 Ravenholdt reputation points and be able to kill four Ravenholdt members to gain four Syndicate Reputation points without going below Neutral with Ravenholdt. In other words you would need to pickpocket 3250 Syndicate Emblems and kill 13,000 Ravenholdt NPCs."

Turned orange at 250 skill for me.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

takes 250 skill

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Junk my ass, found a Jungle Necklace of the Wolf in one of these, damn nice reward after pickpocketing tons of these with nothing but money, potions, stopwatches, and the rare gem in them...

Commentaire de Allakhazam

"Junkboxes Needed" is another "blue" ( repeatable) quest in Ravenhold Manor and needs 5 Heavy Junkboxes per turn. Ask Fahrad there.

Useless for non-rogues IMO.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Actually, now you get +50 rep with ravenholdt for turning 5 in. Has anyone gotten Honored yet?

Commentaire de Allakhazam

what u guys need rep for with ravenholdt?

Commentaire de Allakhazam

You basically get these from any humanoid 50+. Turn 5 of them into Ravenholdt, you get 200 so-so throwing knives and no faction increase. Not worth the effort.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

anyone know what skill lvl required for picking this?
i have 236 and its still red for me.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

+50 rep with Ravenholdt
-250 rep with Syndicate

Commentaire de Allakhazam

What Rep is best? Ravenholdt or Syndicate.?

Lockboxes and chests can be opened by rogues using the Crochetage skill learned at level 16. Your max level lockpicking skill is determined by the level of your character. The basic formula is 'char level x 5'. So, a level 16 rogue will have a max lockpicking level of 80, a 17 rogue would be 85 and so on up to a (currently) maximum of 300.

Once you have learned the lockpicking skill, you will also need a set of Outils de voleur. You do not need to buy these, you should receive them during the 'lockpicking' quest.
Once the quest is completed, you can place the Crochetage onto your toolbar from inside your spellbook. You then click this button and then click the lockbox/chest you wish to open.
As with most levelling professions, the items you want to unlock will be colour coded with the relevant chance of gaining a level point:- The word 'locked' will be red, orange, yellow, green or grey.

Red = Skill level too low
Orange = 100% chance of gaining a skill point
Yellow = Good chance of gaining a skill point
Green = A slight chance of gaining a skill point
Grey = No chance of gaining a skill point

Lockboxes can also be opened by using a skeleton key created by blacksmiths. These are NOT to be confused with the Clé squelette which is used to open the entrance to the Scholomance instance.

The table below shows the minimum lockpicking skill level required to open each type of lockbox and which blacksmith skeleton key will open it (if possible).

If you're doing the Ravenholdt rep grind and farming these out yourself, I've found the best place to do it is in BRD. The route I take requires either the key or high enough lockpicking. Enter as if you were going to do the lava skip for the MC attunement quest (opening the three doors to the left of entrance), pickpocket all the mobs in the immediate room, head up through arena spectators and then make your way over to the Bridge/Gate (pickpocketing everything along the way) and hop out the window to your right like you would doing a lava skip. From there go through the Gate and pickpocket all the mobs back towards the entrance. By the time you get back around to the start you can do another lap. Their pockets should have reset by then.

NOTE: The hounds can see stealth & The fire elementals have a fire aura that can pull you out.(Although I was doing this on a my lvl 60 alt rogue so it should be a lot more comfortable at lvl 70)

For those looking to farm these for the sake of Ravenholdt rep, here is my recommendation.

First of all, you need a rogue. Unless you have a very, very good friend or partner with an appropriately leveled rogue, it's time to roll your own rogue alt. Rogues a great fun, particularly spellcasters should find a rogue alt really fun, as they are a sneaky melee blender with a lot of survival tricks up their sleeve. Back in Vanilla, my first alt was a rogue, and as such in Classic, my first alt (following my warlock main) was also a rogue.

In order to be able to pickpocket the Heavy Junkboxes, I recommend leveling your rogue (whether alt or main) to at least level 64.This is fairly easily achieved with a few long evenings of questing in Hellfire and Zangarmarsh, possible coupled with a few dungeon runs in Hellfire Ramparts, Slave Pens and Underbog. Doesn't take long. The reason you need above level 60 is because the mobs you will be pickpocketing are in their high 50's, and the higher level you are, the less risk you have of being caught.

As far as talents, the best is to spec into 21 into Subtley for Preparation. You will occasionally get caught by a mob when attempting to pickpocket them - I estimate about a 1-2% chance of getting caught as a lvl 64 rogue in LBRS. When you get caught, pop Vanish to escape danger, but if you also have Preparation, you can keep going and if you get caught again, pop Prep and Vanish again. Well worth it. Along the way, it is also mandatory to max out Master of Deception, Camouflage and Elusiveness for better mobility and less risk of getting caught. The rest of the talents you choose don't matter much, but I recommend going down Combat until Blade Flurry, picking up basic Combat talents along the way. If you get caught and have two mobs on you, you can pop cooldowns and kill them, but if you have 3+ mobs on you at lvl 64, you need to Vanish.

Before heading out, empty your bags of everything not strictly necessary before heading down there. You just really need a Hearthstone, some Flash Powder, perhaps some food and healing potions, Thieves' Tools and a mount.

I recommend going to LBRS for pickpocketing. LBRS is filled to the brim with mobs, all in the appropriate level range for getting Heavy Junkboxes. I estimate the chance of getting a Heavy Junkbox from a mob is about 15%, which doesn't sound like much, but there are so many mobs in LBRS it's no problem. Start at the entrance, pickpocket all mobs in the first room, then go right and pretty much continue on the trodden path until you get to final room with Overlord Wyrmthalak. Then walk back just a bit to the bridge you just crossed, drop down to the ogres (the Duskbat Drape cloak helps reduce falling damage), then drop down again to the bridge to the ogre boss, and by then the "pockets" of all the mobs will have respawned. Then you just repeat this until your bags are full. Destroy any junk, food and even Star Rubies you pickpocket along the way - it's all about the Heavy Junkboxes. Now hearthstone in a safe place to get out.

Back in town, you can then unlock all the boxes with your Pick Lock skill. Turn off autoloot, and open each one to check for any goodies. It is possible to even get epics in them - I have personally found a Teebu's Blazing Longsword in a Heavy Junkbox, believe it or not. When you've snatched all the silver and worthy items (leave just at least one junk item in each box), mail them to your main who wants the Ravenholdt rep.

Have fun with the grind! Assuming you are 11999 Honored with Ravenholdt from killing Syndicate mobs in Hillsbrad, you need to perform 294 turn-ins of the "Junkboxes Needed" quest, and with each turn-in requiring 5 Heavy Junkboxes, you need to farm 1470 Heavy Junkboxes (for a non-Human). to go from 11999 Honored to 999 Exalted. It is quite a grind, but you quickly stop worrying and love the farm. The most cumbersome part of the grind is really when your main character needs to run back and forth between Southshore or Tarren Mill over and over in order to pick up the Heavy Junkboxes from their mailbox and then run up to the Ravenholdt NPC to turn them in, again and again. But it's all part of the "achievement". :)

The best farming location is LBRS / UBRS. If you have the UBRS key, it's a great increase to boxes per hour. Start the run by pickpocketing the entrance room of LBRS, and going into each cubby. When you head downwards to LBRS, dont forget to go to the right and clear the upper mobs past the entrance room. You can do a full clear of the instance and jump back down to where the ogre bridge is and the pickpocket tables will have reset in time, however if you have a second account I'd recommend doing a logout reset as you approach the spider boss down below. Also there's an addon called dejunk that you can use to keybind trash item deletion. I get about 130 boxes/hr using this method.
