Etheramwen had gotten far behind in her lockpicking when they introduced boxes and before they put in the handy chat options on NPC. I made a printout of the patch notes saying where they added boxes. I calculated how my current lockpicking skill compared to the level*5 formula, and ran off of that until they introduced the chat option. Her lockpicking skill was still more than 15 points behind her max (meaning at least 3 levels lower than it should have been). I went to a trainer and they sent me to Zoram Strand even though I was welll over level 30 at the time. My orc rogue (who is able to keep her picking up with her level) on Terenas is a big enough level to quest at the Zoram Strand, but not pick the boxes and her trainer sent her (appropriately) to The Stonetalon Mountains instead. Eth now has her lockpicking at a good level for her skill and the trainer told her Angor Fortress and Sar'theris Strand where she has now since maxed her skill comparative to her level. It just doesn't feel like it's based solely off of level or even what your max picking skill is.
