Need Lockpicking of 25 to open the chest. Coordinates at 52,41. Training Chests go yellow at 30 and green at 55.

This location is very easy to find using the coordinates: 52,45.

If you stand at a particular spot. You have the ability to unlock 4 of the five Practice Lockbox's there. (Screenshot Provided).

Just in case. The words ""Practice Lockbox"" will ALWAYS be yellow. The word ""Locked"" changes colors the way Ebonstar says.

You should stay there with the practice boxes until you cannot level your picking skill anymore (when the word ""Locked"" becomes gray).

The boxes respawn very quickly, and sometimes they are booby-trapped. ( I had the Frost Hold Magic trap. )

I was able to gain 101 skill points from this location. I went there with a skill level of 4; and left there with a skill level of 105. Not Bad - Now I go back to the Zoram Strand!

There are numerous creatures outside. But you do not have to worry about them coming in to attack you (at least I did not have to). My stealth was good enough to walk past all creatures - INCLUDING horde. So it is possible to make it there without a fight. In case you are just trying to get your picking skill up.

Good luck,

The next picking area for me was:

So it was no hassle getting higher skill. All I had to do was kill the one spawn every time it showed up. I got to open the chest several times before he showed up. After that, I went to Desolace - in Kalimdor:

The pins are not the actual lockbox locations. But it is the area you should be in. Just be sure to bring something to breath under water with, as the boxes are ALL underwater, and you should have the ability to kill a level 33 mob.

I am now level 46, and my picking is maxed at 230. The Desolace boxes are still green for me and only take about 4 to give me one skill point.

At a 230 skill level you can open most of these on the list:

I'm on the Mannaroth Server, and I very rarely see any Horde there. For that matter, I rarely ever see Alliance there either. Plus, you're under water.

Something that has not been mentioned yet..

https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=616 Chatter (Lv23 rare Spider) tends to spawn right in the middle of the boxes. Watch out for that one.
