These exist for Rogues to use them to increase their Lockpicking skill. The skill for these appears as orange at 175; yellow at 200; green at 225; but not grey at 255. Bring an Elixir of Greater Water Breathing and simply swim around outside the entrance to The Temple of Atal'Hakkar to find them; some Swim Speed Potions couldn't hurt either. Remember to check every crevice between a section of wall and the steep earth surrounding the underwater area, and also the lower landing of the Temple itself. Some footlockers are positioned near level 39-40 Sawfin Frenzies which do not pose much threat.

It took me about an hour (the duration of one Elixir of Greater Water breathing) to go from 198 to 255 without Swim Speed Potions.

Just went there on my (As of the time of typing) level 44 rogue. Thanks to the above comment I grabbed an azure silk belt and a greater water breathing potion before I went. Absolutely fantastic place to level your lockpicking. At 44 and I'd estimate as low as level 40 the few mobs that are there are mostly avoidable, even without stealth. If you do pull one, then they're very easy to take down. If it interests, the belt cost me 25s and the potion cost me 75s.

Swim laps around the temple, check near the debris in the terrain around the temple, check the base of the temple, and check the platform just above the base of the temple. The boxes can be a little tricky to see, espeically in the debris, so make sure you check all sides of it.

I went from 201 to 220 in about 15-20 minutes, so when they're yellow you're looking at about 1 point a minute which isn't bad at all. Unfortunately I'm maxed out now, but I'll be back for sure, I reccommend starting here ASAP, probably 175 skill and level 40.

Happy picking!

I made an Azure Silk Belt on my 30 BE warlock, and had a guildie make me a stack of 10 Elixir of Greater Water Breathing pots.

I'm a 49 BE Rogue, and I plan to skill my lockpicking to me current max which is 245 within that hour. My skill is at 196 now, so it should be possible within an hour.

This is incorrect.
The lockboxes in Desolace are the "waterlogged" version.

you also can find this lock box at 36 11 in desolace underwater :D

they also exist outside desolace's waterlogged footlocker further out to sea. around the 34, 17 area down in the rocks.

great if you don't want to go flying around after waterlogged footlocker greys out.

Pseudopath's map is much better than the one provided, don't forget to go to the north side of the temple as there are a lot there not on WoWhead map.

Generally one kind of locker will get you either 25 orange skill and another 25 yellow skill = 50 skill total.

Badlands

Battered Footlocker -Skill 150
Dented Footlocker -Skill 175

Swamp of Sorrow

Mossy Footlocker -Skill 175(Very Abundant)

Searing Gorge

Dented Footlocker -Skill 200(Also 225 ones around)

Tanaris

Dented Footlocker -Skill 225

Eastern Plaugelands

Scarlet Footlocker -Skill 250 The deal with these is you'll be able to find like....3 that are away from the Elites aggro range. So Pick Pocket all the Scarlet people for Heavy Junkboxes. They will be your primary source of skill-uping. You will find out that trying to fight more than one of the Elites is harder that It looks...even at 65th level.

Zangarmarsh

Wicker Chest -Skill 300

Nagrand

Dented Footlocker -Skill 325

You'll level one point here or there opening Chests and Lockboxes, but otherwise this is the high level Lock Picking Guide

You Welcome

So lucky for me I read these comments before attempting, and it was really helpful. In about an hour I was able to go from 200-245, which wasn't bad considering they turned green at 225.

I seemed to find the majority of footlockers on the top ledge of the temple, and behind the walls near the shore where the embankment slopes. Each time around there was always one footlocker on each side of the stairs as well.

I would suggest for alliance that they pick up the quest -Pool of Tears- quest, I dont know how to link it but its a Swamp of Sorrows quest picked up at 25-32. The artifacts for this quest are spread through out the bottom of the pool and I got 385 rep w/ Exodar for completing, at lvl 49, and it paid 1g 20s. Which made the time spent a little more worth it.

Good Luck and I hope this saves you some time

Comment by Seaweed

For anyone not undead, I would agree with most of the comments and STRONGLY suggest some water breathing potions.
Personally, I'm level 70 Undead Rogue, and got from 175 to 200 in exactly 24 minutes
there are about 4 or 5 Sawfin frenzy's lurking, easily avoidable. You will have a lot fo searching to do, as the water is murky, so they can be hard to spot amongst the debris. And remember to check on the levels of the temple too, I faound some on BOTH levels, not just the lower.
As for contents, it's a handful of copper, I found anything from 15 to 40, and occasionally a food, like Goldenbark Apple.
just keep swimming around, it might help if you jsut keep going around the same way.

hope I've helped.
