[`darkranger01]

i noticed this on my roguea little while back i used to have a lot of my friends mail me boxes to open then i would mail them back and my friends would tell me why did u mail it back closed u weresuppose to open it i was like wtf i opend it. sure enough i put in a ticket to blizz gms and they said it was intened to be this way i was like ok..... whatever obviousally they didnt think because now all you have to do is if u get a box and u dont like whats in it mail it to an alt so it closes and sell the actual box say its like a lucky dip =P but u know whats in the box and roughly how muchs its worth so just sell it for more i have had a little bit of sucess with the higher end boxes.

Dont ask for rep and this could come in handy for a few things

Someone please translate....

Couldnt you use this exploit to level lock-picking over and over on one lockbox, if mailing it closes it again? Or maybe put it on auction house after you unlocked it, cancel auction and do it again?

[Edit] Okei... I understood it!

I don't understand..are you saying it gets mailed back closed?

My friend's main opens boxes for me all the time. He unlocks them ..and mails them to me. They're opened.

Is there something I'm missing?

When a rogue performs lockpicking on a box, it gets unlocked, not opened. By opened, he is referring to when it's right clicked, and its' contents are displayed. Basically, while it's open, you can mail it to an alt, and it will close it without looting it, so you could then sell the closed box, unlocked, on the AH or over trade if you don't like what's in it. I hope that was a little easier to understand.

I think what he is trying to say is "Plz help me im getting an F in English."

Jk i understood what you said kind of, i think what you meant is, if you get a lock box and do not like what is inside, you can mail it to a alt and just sell it on the AH. Although i doubt people go on the AH to buy lock boxes but w/e.

Translation:
A while ago my friends sent me lock boxes that they wanted opened. So when I opened them I sent it to them through the in-game mailing system unlocked. However when they received them they were closed. After talking to a GM I discovered that when you send them to a person after they are unlocked, then they become re-locked. Basically if you don't like whats in your box, send it to an alt and then have the alt re-send it and new loot will be in it so long as you didn't loot it.
Did this help for a few people?
+Rep to this guy.

Im confused as well. Thanks to italiankidd im ok

[Morlok]

Yeah,
You can ulock the box and see whats inside without actually looting it. The box doesn't lock after you unlock it. I have unlocked a box with a bop blacksmithing mat inside and gave it to a guildmate. The mat in the box didn't bind until it was actually looted from the box itself.

When I did that the blacksmithing pattern disappered :S I putted the box in the trade window and then I cancelled and there was a green BoE item their instead.

Kinda hard to understand what you're saying but I get the gist of it.

Good job

[oakwalker]

Try again...

[kamper]

I'm a rogue and all my friends send me lockboxes ingame to open (Ohh joy... -.-")
I unlock them look whats inside then resend the box with the item in it, It does not get relocked.
