Farming Heavy Junkboxes
From WoWWiki
This is a guide on how to farm Heavy Junkboxes a necessary step for anyone going for the Insane title, requiring a player to get exalted with Ravenholdt in order to complete a part of 
[Insane in the Membrane] Feat of Strength.
Contents |
Objective:
This item is an objective of 
[60] Junkboxes Needed, which rewards reputation with the Ravenholdt faction. Once a player reaches 11999/12000 Honored with Ravenholdt, the only way to raise reputation any further is turning in Heavy Junkboxes: five at a time for 75 reputation. Essentially a single junkbox is worth 15 reputation. Human players need 1,275 Junkboxes to go from 11999/12000 Honored to Exalted, any other race will need 1,400.
General Notes:
The contents of a mob's pocket is refreshed every 10 minutes, making it capable of farming the same group of humanoid mobs once every 10 minutes - without killing nor aggroing them.
Recommendations:
- A Rogue (which is actually quite mandatory), at least level 67.
- Glyph of Pick Lock and Glyph of Pick Pocket are HIGHLY Reccommended, as they will decrease your downtime, and increase the distance you can be from a mob - reducing the chance they will notice you.
- Talent wise Fleet Footed, Endurance, Master of Deception, Camouflage, Elusiveness and Preparation are all very good to have. These talents either increase your movement speed, reducing downtime inbetween group of humans, increase the usefulness of Sprint and allow the repeated use of Vanish if things go wrong. A level 67 rogue can have all these talents.
- Five Containers which Heavy Junkboxes can be placed in - at least five sixteen-slotters.
- Completely empty inventory. Hearthstone is a luxury. Notice how many slots you have, and remember you can only hand in five Junkboxes at time, so think carefully.
- Glyph of Sprint can be useful to have.
- Night Elf Rogues have a racial that increases their level of stealth, further reducing the chance a hostile NPC can detect you.
Locations
- Tyr's Hand: Many humanoid mobs capable of having Heavy Junkboxes being pickpocketed from. Although there are several class-specific quests, and at least one Horde quest, requiring players to kill mobs there. Also due to it being outdoors you may meet competition. Another plus side is easy run back if you do happen to die. Mobs located here are elite.
- Lower Blackrock Spire: Numerous humanoid mobs very close together. Due to it being a dungeon, you cannot face any competition from other rogues. Firebrand Orcs and Spirethorn Trolls Groups are all placed very close to each other, minimizing downtime between each group. Very annoying run back if you do happen to die. Mobs located here are elite.
- Horde Rogues may want to think about Quel'Lithien Lodge, a fair number of humanoids are there. They are friendly to Alliance players (but won't flag you for PvP if you kill them) meaning Alliance rogues can't pick pocket them. They are not elite, which means very little chance of dying. There is a single Horde quest to kill them, but rarely anyone every does it still. A Rare Spawn: Ranger Lord Hawkspear can spawn here and easily be killed. This would be a location where level 67 isn't a real requirement, and even a level 60 rogue can farm this area.
Additional Notes
- By Turning On Autoloot under the Game Menu --> Interface --> Controls, everytime you Pick Pocket you will automatically loot the contents, this allows you to continue walking while pick pocketing, rather than stopping and manually clicking.
- Additionally if you have an Ace2 mod installed, you can use the following macro to autoloot everytime you pick pocket:
#showtooltip
/script SetCVar("autoLootDefault","1")
/cast Pick Pocket
/in 5 /script SetCVar("autoLootDefault","0")
- The above methods have a second of loot lag, if you quickly try shifting targets and try to pick pocket them, the game will still (probably) be registering the first pick pocket, usually causing an error that target has been recently pick pocketed. While this doesn't actually cause you to lose any loot that would normally be on the target, it is quite annoying, so you may want to wait a second in between pick pockets.
- A useful macro that will delete all the non-Junkboxes from your inventory, but use with caution and read the warning.. this WILL delete everything from your bags besides the junkboxes and your hearthstone.
/run for i=0,4 do for j=1,GetContainerNumSlots(i)do n=(GetContainerItemLink(i,j)or) if(not n:find("Hearthstone") and not n:find("Junkbox")) then PickupContainerItem(i,j) DeleteCursorItem()end end end
WARNING: THIS MACRO WILL DELETE EVERYTHING IN YOUR BAGS BESIDES HEARTHSTONE AND JUNKBOXES
