Does anyone have a complete list for HORDE for training the Rogue's Lockpicking skill (from level 1 to 300)?

My Troll Rogue (level 26) has currently skill level 80 (from the quest chests in the pirate ship in Durotar), and the Undercity trainer said I should now train with the Syndicate chests found in Durnholde in Hillsbrad. Those chests however, are red for me (skill to low) ...

These are rough numbers on the lockpicking skill required on the boxes since I haven't gone through and written down just went they go from red to orange to yellow to green. I'll have to start up a new baby rogue again and track it better. The low number is a very rough estimation so it's best to be about 5-10 picking higher than what I list.

Starting ~75 lockpick up to ~125

        Keep in mind that you can also pickpocket boxes to open off of humanoids in the same areas and that there are also doors in places like Scarlet Monastery and BRD that you can open to help skill up as well. DM doors require 300 picking iirc so they won't help you when you get up that high.

You can get from 0 to at least 100 in the boxes on the pirate boat south of Ratchet for the first rogue quest. I think you can go a bunch further there and possibly on the last box for the quest as well (don't know for sure about that one).

Yeah, Alliance can get to 80 at Alther's Mill easily if they do their lockpick quest at 16.

You used to be able to continue lockpicking the last quest chest up to 100+

There would be no gear icon, but you could pick it by clicking on lockpick then the chest. I seem to remember changes in patch notes and it's been a LONG time since I've leveled lockpick in that range, but I know some alliance rogues used to come to Ratchet for those 80-120 ish skill level points because the horde chest was a lot easier to sit and pick repeatedly than the similar alliance chest.

You might find this lockpicking thread helpful.

I could now train lockpicking up to level 125 using the jewel case in the pirate boat near Ratchet, after I've figured out that you need to activate the lockpicking button first before you can access that quest box at all ;)

Once you have skilled out on the ship , keep your lockpicking up to date every lvl , that way the information you get from the trainer is always pretty spot on .

Lockpicking Training - nobbie - 02-11-2006

Once my Rogue hits level 30, I'll go back to the poison quest chest in the tower in the Barrens to level up straight from 125 to 175. After that, I'll follow the advice from the trainers :)

1. After 175 SM was my favorite place to pick locks. You have 2 doors to pick after which you can go inside the instance and pick pockets, get a few junkboxes, pick them, and then go back and pick the doors again. Or after opening the doors, go harvest some grave moss in the graveyard and by the time you get back the doors should be pickable again. Reset the instance, lather rinse and repeat. Make sure that you do not use your key on the doors.

2. I also leveled up a good bit by opening lockboxes for guildmates. They still mail me their lockboxes for opening. If a high level rogue in your guild already does that, ask him to forward the level appropriate boxes on to you.

3. BRD is a great place for improving high level lockpicking. There are 3 doors to open close to the entrance which you can easily get to without drawing any aggro, and they are on the way to Plugger.
