Every single class can open locked chests.
Every
Single
One
In fact with smithing, you get a lot more out of the profession beyond the ability to pick locks, you get every single other bell and whistle. Lockpicking for a rogue is a one trick pony, yet it has to be skilled up just like herbalism, skinning and mining.
PS: Reported your thread as spam as there is already a thread on the subject. You know that.
I actually do that, or at least ask if there are any other miners/herbalists in the group and we rotate. Also when I’m playing a skinner I’ll rotate with other skinners. Unless the group is moving quickly then I just skip skinning during the run entirely. I guess they key here is to communicate with your groups.
You should be providing your utility to a group if you want a good reputation on the server. Feels free to do you but don’t complain when selfish bad behavior won’t get you invites. Changes are the chest has nothing that useful so i would open it if I was a rogue
Exactly. Anyone that can lockpick or has a gold key to open the chest should roll to see which one of them gets the chest.
So then once we get Prayer of Fortitude should I start charging the group for the Sacred Candles needed?
Should a Druid charge you for reagents every time they revive you?
Should a Warlock charge you for soul shards?
The Rogue isn’t “giving up” the chest because the chest doesn’t belong to them. Not to mention that Blacksmiths can open those locks too, but the Rogues who act entitled to the chest never ask about them,
No
they
can’t
unless they are a blacksmith or rogue. The keys require blacksmithing to use.
No minersherb would not be the proper analogy as those are professions.
Lockpicking is not a profession.
There is no proper analogy other than group utility, imo, and that is unique to rogues (save keys/charges). If a group member isnt helping the group and being selfish then bye, dps are dime a dozen. I wont be tanking for you.
I still can’t find the question…
What exactly are you asking?
The key here is you have several other players who can perform the task, so you roll. Not really what this conversation is about.
But we don’t expect non-herbalist and non-miners to roll for the loot in the node itself right?
I think most people don’t but if the group wanted to roll for mats I probably wouldn’t have any issue with it.
Honey…
Who can be a Blacksmith or an Engineer, the other tradeskill profession that can open locked chests?
(The answer is “anyone”.)
Lock picking is a profession, unique to rogues. A rogue does not have to level up lock picking. They have to choose to pursue it, just like professions.
This all happened back when classic was current content.
This isn’t a black or white issue and it all comes down to the group. If the rogue wants to put it up for a roll great, but at best the rogue is just going to wait til everyone leaves and open the chest, and at worst you get to hold up a dungeon run over a chest. So you have to weigh that out.
Giving out food and water helps speed up dungeon runs, so its in everyone’s interest to pass those out as they don’t take long to make. If you want to wait for the healer and tank to fill up their hp and mana with natural regen then that’s your prerogative, but its going to be slow going.
Irrelevent, those are for professions. Lockpicking isnt a profession but a class skill.
I played rogue vanilla through my wrsyh stay. Not once would i have said it was tough.
So, like I said.
EVERY SINGLE CLASS
Get back to me when you have evidence that not every single class can be a blacksmith. TIA
Any player can’t open a chest unless they are a blacksmith or rogue. Not hard to comprehend that.
Its leveled just like any other gathering profession?
Dude, the point is:
