Pickpocketing - Flame-scarred Junkbox Farming - Tol Barad

[eighty5ive]

Hey all, I was looking for more spots to pickpocket and I'm lazy (or efficient?) so I decided to test other areas other than the troggs (Deepholm/fractured front). I'm sure you've all noticed the insanely fast respawn rates of mobs in Tol Barad and on higher pop servers you'll have tons of people doing the dailies in the cellblock/underground locations. The mobs in there can be pick-pocketed, best of all you don't have to kill them to reset the loot since other players will be aggroing them and killing them for you. Just spam the pickpocketing macro walking around. Profit!

The item you are trying to get are Flame-scarred Junkboxes. They contain silk, gold, poisons, and possible epics (and a bunch of junk). Again, the reason why this place is better is you don't have to reset it like an instance, the mobs are close, and you don't have to kill them (which is what sucks about Fractured front because the npcs kill them so slow).

Here's the Pick Pocket macro for those who don't have it. I didn't make the macro, its all over this site. (change targetNearestDistance 5 to targetNearestDistance 10 if you have pick pocket glyph)

#showtooltip Pick Pocket
/console targetNearestDistance 5
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
/cast [target=mouseover, exists] Pick Pocket; Pick Pocket
/cleartarget

It won't work if your mouse is over something it can't pickpocket because it checks for a mouseover target first. If you move your mouse away from stuff and just spam it it'll work, i added mouseover first for finesse in targetting exactly what you want in tighter mob packs. Remove the mouseover part if you just want to spam and get whatever it finds.
