NOTE: Some Oxxein Lockboxes from before 9.1 have converted into Sinvyr Lockboxes and will NOT work. Also note you do not HAVE to Pickpocket, but it has a much higher rate than drops. You can also just directly buy the lockboxes from other players, just not from the Auction House.
Next Step:
You must find a Tazavesh Lockout where the 1st boss is defeated. At that point, head to this location on the map:
You will find an NPC named Shopkeeper.
He will send you an emote periodically. Reply with /nod, /yes, and apparently /wink and you will eventually be given access to his inventory (the actual activation is yet to be known, this is just how we’ve gotten in so far. It took me about 3 minutes of /yesing to his emotes.
Purchase Rarity for the 3 Lockboxes and 2143 Gold. Congrats, Enjoy your new pet!
I spent about 2 hours on my level 51 rogue pickpocketing in all of the relevant zones. 1.5 of that was spent in Ardenweald. ha ha. It was horrid.
I got my Bastion and Maldraxxus boxes so quickly that I got cocky about it and figured I had this thing in the bag. Then I got to Ardenweald and spent about 15 Tirna Noch resets to get one.
But…I got the boxes, mailed them to my main in Tazavesh (love having mailboxes in the dungeon), and bought it just in time.
I have my boxes, just need to find a lockout (Thank you for this write-up btw, it’s perfect). If anyone on Horde side, US realm has a lock they’d let me ride off, let me know
Since you can join someone else’s fully cleared lockout, I’m fairly certain you can interact with the vendor even if you haven’t killed any of the bosses.
I have gotten 2 of the 3 types of lockboxes you need, having a hard time finding or pickpocketing any of the Solenium Lockboxes.
I have been running around Bastion for the last week, waiting for resets on mobs to pickpocket, not one box has dropped in the entire week of running around. So I tried farming them, nope not a one. Only getting gold and the gray junk that takes up bag space and sells for crap.
I got that one fast but the other 2 were slower. The Maldraxxus box took me a good 2 hours of PPing, Ardenweald probably another hour. The Bastion box (from Citadel of Loyalty) I had in maybe 15 minutes. It’s extremely RNG dependent. They do drop, but can take a while. Just don’t give up.
