Vol à la tire
, for the less-agile and uninitiated, is a unique ability allowing rogues in stealth to loot special items from hostile mobs without entering combat. If done sloppily, it can aggro mobs, annoy your party members, and make you look pretty clumsy. If done correctly (and with enough bag space), you can amass a collection of unique items, and if you’re lucky, some epics inside of a lockbox. There's a lot of mundane objects in the pockets of Azeroth, but one's trash is another's treasure--you might find something amusing like a trashy novel or loaded dice.
This is a guide using Wowhead's vast database to show you every fun item you can pickpocket in World of Warcraft. Either for vanity item collections or just to send your friend something fun, this list will help you rediscover Azeroth and more.
Pick Pocket: An Overview
Pickpocketing was primarily utilized to acquire lockboxes, which were then used to skill up one’s lockpicking. (In Cataclysm, this ability lost some of its charm as it no longer required manual skillups.) It was also heavily featured in rogue-only quests: I have fond memories of
L'appel du destin
frustrating my level 10, and quests for Ravenholdt Manor and Sunken Temple requiring pickpocketed items. However in Cataclysm, stealth is no longer the answer and these types of quests have been downplayed, although rogues can still pickpocket the
Clé du Sinistre écluseur
from
Lanfiche Brouillecircuit
. Fortunately, most of the silly items remain, upholding the reputation that rogues are slightly sinister with entirely way too much booze and a path of
Portefeuille vide
s in their wake.
The most important item one can pickpocket in Cataclysm is
Anneau décodeur du cryptomancien
from
Hagara la Lieuse des tempêtes
. This is needed to complete
Prouver votre valeur
, an early quest in the chain for
Crocs du père
.
A few basic pointers about pickpocketing: to most efficiently pickpocket, get
Glyphe carbonisé
and approach your enemies from behind to avoid detection in melee range.
Traqueur nocturne
is an easily-obtainable and useful talent as it inreases your speed while stealthed. If you see a mob with a blue eyeball over its head—run away, it has increased stealth detection. A pickpocketed mob will take roughly 10 minutes to replenish its pockets: try farming and resetting a dungeon if you are impatient. You can pickpocket most humanoids and some additional mobs as well; a good rule-of-thumb is that if it looks like it has pockets, it probably does. And it never hurts just to stealth up and try your luck anyway; you can even pickpocket some bosses. Just make sure you don't right-click the mob in melee range and auto-attack it by accident.
Here is a basic pickpocketing macro that you can use:
#showtooltip Pick Pocket
/targetenemy
/cast Pick Pocket
/cleartarget
You can modify this a lot if you want to combine pickpocketing with other Subtlety abilities.
Lockboxes
Even without providing skillups anymore, lockboxes, the quintessential rogue item, still have some entertainment value.
Heavy Junkboxes
are used to increase reputation with
Ravenholdt
, a requirement of the achievement
Tous des malades
. Most high-end lockboxes follow the same loot table: they contain some silver, with a chance of gems, healing potions, poisons, and possibly an epic. As your rogue levels, you will automatically be able to open higher-level boxes every few levels. The boxes are not BoP: they can be mailed to alts and friends if you want to stockpile them. The boxes cannot be placed on the Auction House, but their contents can be.
Coffret endommagé
, from level 20-30 humanoids, requires 1 Lockpicking. It contains the fun item
Petite montre gousset
.
Coffret usé
, from level 30-40 humanoids, requires 70 Lockpicking. It can contain
Potion de soins supérieure
,
Citrine
, and
Jade
.
Coffret solide
, from level 40-50 humanoids, requires 175 Lockpicking. It can contain
Potion de soins excellente
,
Aigue-marine
, and
Rubis étoilé
, with a small chance at
Eventreuse
.
Coffret lourd
, from level 50-60 humanoids, requires 250 Lockpicking. It has a high chance to contain
Rubis étoilé
, once useful for
Lunette de sniper
, and a small chance to contain one of the following epics:
Lame de l'ombre
,
Epée longue flamboyante de Teebu
, and
Rasoir solaire d'Alcor
. As stated above, this type of junkbox is needed to achieve exalted
Ravenholdt
for
Insane in the Membrane
, in the quest
Demande de coffrets
Coffret-fort
, from level 60-70 humanoids, requires 300 Lockpicking. There’s a small chance to contain
Potion de super-soins
or one of the following gems:
Topaze noble
,
Pierre d'aube
,
Talasite
,
Rubis vivant
,
Oeil de nuit
, and
Etoile d'Élune
, but the real fun is getting
Lame de nuit
or
Ciséchine
. This started a tradition of lockboxes containing epic thrown weapons, as they’re generally scarce on boss loot tables.
Coffret renforcé
, from Northrend humanoids, requires 350 Lockpicking. There’s a small chance to contain
Potion de soins runique
or one of the following gems:
Topaze monarchique
,
Halo de l'automne
,
Emeraude forestière
,
Saphir céleste
,
Rubis écarlate
, and
Opale crépusculaire
. There’s three weapons unique to this lockbox:
La lame de la pénombre
,
Fendoir de Krol
, and
Tranchéchine
.
Coffret marqué par les flammes
, from level 80+ humanoids, requires 400 Lockpicking. These can contain a ton of useful things. The
Breuvage de voleur
is a unique twist on healing potions; it’s BoP and usable only by rogues—even more useful since healing potions are scarse this expansion. In addition to containing relevant gems (
Oeil de démon
,
Rubis du feu d'enfer
,
Ambréine
,
Emeraude de rêve
,
Topaze de braise
,
Saphir océan
), they can also contain items needed for inscription offhands and relics (
Corne de dragon de récupération
,
Mâchoire blanchie
,
Morceau d'écaille d'Aile de mort
,
Oeil d'ogre préservé
,
Bracelet de breloques d'argent
).
The three unique epics are
La Lame du Crépuscule
,
Ouvre-échine
, and
Décapiteur de Krol
to complete the long line of Krol weapons.
In addition, the Reinforced Junkbox, Strong Junkbox, Sturdy Junkbox, and Worn Junkbox can contain the following macabre greys:
Tabac à priser grossier
,
Nœud miteux
,
Journal d'un voleur
,
Crâne d'humanoïde
, and
Os sculpté en ivoire
.
Pocket Corners: Flavor Items
In addition to lockboxes, humanoids contain a wide array of flavor items in their deep pockets. From romance novels to rivets, a rogue can pickpocket something incriminating for later blackmail. There’s also boring stuff like ooze and scraps: it's not as interesting to highlight, but you can find a full list of items from pickpocketing
here
.
Beverages
A rogue can pickpocket food and drink most any vendor can sell; we’ll concern ourselves with the unique items, namely booze.
There’s six beverages unique to pickpocketing:
Grog de Cœur-noir
from Vash’jir,
Bière rouge sang
from any Cataclysm humanoid,
Tord-boyaux dégoûtant
from Deepholm,
Fluide d'embaumement
mostly in heroic Shadowfang Keep,
Brandy enrichi gilnéen
from any Cataclysm humanoid, and
Vin baigné par le soleil
from Uldum.
Store your beverages in
Flacon vide
from drunken level 30-40 mobs.
Beauty/Cosmetics
While a rogue would never use cologne or perfume to give away a hideaway, it appears most mobs in Azeroth enjoy fragrances and beauty on the run.
Cologne:
Eau de cologne de Nippy
is unique to Uldum,
Brise cool
from Vash’jir is perfect for a fishy smell,
Meumeuh de Vacharel
from level 80+ mobs is for Horde pride, and
Cologne capiteuse
also from level 80+ mobs is good for smelling like tobacco.
There’s a series of handkerchiefs either for applying makeup or gently dabbing tears away caused by Deathwing’s destruction:
Mouchoir à carreaux
from level 80+ mobs,
Mouchoir plié
from starting zones, and
Mouchoir trempé
from Northrend.
To view your reflection, fix up your
Miroir brisé
from level 20-30 humanoids. Use
Peigne de queue
from Uldum on wild manes.
Keep your hands manicured during battle with
Cirage à chitine
from Northrend and
Lime des griffes
from Uldum.
Use a
Eponge en écailles
from Vash’jir to freshmen up,
Plume à chatouilles
from Deepholm on ticklish victims, and
Bâton piquant
from Ashenvale on hard-to-reach places.
Adult Books
In times of great strife, Azeroth distracts itself with sensational literature possibly centered around
Général Marcus Jonathan
, a strong and silent hero of Stormwind.
Un roman d'amour torride
, the original trash romance novel from Burning Crusade, turns murloc hunting into flirting between a warrior named Marcus and a Nahni, a female mage. Level 20 quest rewards were never so appealing.
Continuing in Wrath,
Un roman d'amour torride : Un amour interdit
documents Marcus’ experiences with a sarcastic undead rogue in the Deeprun Tram teaching him about finishing moves and daggers.
Argent Confessor Paletress has a hidden taste for romance; you can pickpocket
Un roman d'amour torride : La lune bleue
from her. In this latest installment, Marcus tries to woo Soola, a draenei jewelcrafter, with a cheap necklace. Will she spurn his advances or will the Light soothe all nerves?
Un roman d'amour torride : De grosses bombes cuivrées
, the Cataclysm installment, follows Revi, a sassy goblin, as she prepares for her date with Marcus by buying engineering-flavored toys. The series ends here, but you’ll need a secret goblin decoder ring to read the rest of the story.
To finish out the series,
Un roman d'amour torride : Passion boréale
is a possible reward in
Sac de trésors de pêche
from Northrend fishing dailies. In this story, Marcus shares his retribution talents with a gnome lady eager to teach him about her affliction specialization.
The
Magazine de « gentilhomme » gobelin
, from 80+ humanoids, appears to have its pages stuck together as it’s unreadable.
Un livre de cuisine exotique
may sound tasty from level 40-60 humanoids, but it will definitely curb your appetite. A spoof from The Twilight Zone, it talks about how to roast humans.
Lucky Dice and Talismans
A good rogue has a lucky talisman and some rigged dice.
The
Dés nains décaèdraux
from Northrend humanoids rolls between 1-10 and is perfect if your rogue wants to officiate some Dungeons and Daggers.
Gnomes are sneaky:
Dés gnomes pipés
, from level 80+ humanoids, rolls sevens. Every time.
Dés trolls usés
from Northrend humanoids rolls between a 1-6. Any class can obtain these three die on the AH.
Porte-bonheur
is an easy talisman most anyone can get; it’s from level 20 humanoids.
In case your original Rabbit Foot isn’t cutting it, consider getting
Autre patte de lapin
, primarily from Twilight Highlands or
Griffes de raptor porte-bonheur
.
Balles anti-stress carillonnantes
are great for staying calm during raids.
Rocks
Rocks appear to be a popular item to pickpocket; perhaps they’re used in slingshots even though it's not very subtle.
There’s
Un joli caillou
mostly from Razorfen Kraul,
Un caillou très joli
from Northrend,
Bulle pétrifié
from Vash’jir, and
Morceau de corail
from level 10-20 humanoids.
For impatient rogues lacking finesse, there’s
Outil en pierre primitif
from starting zones and
Pierre levier
from Mount Hyjal and Deepholm.
Sadly, the mobs that dropped the
Familier rocher
have been removed in Cataclysm.
They aren't rocks, but the following items would make cumbersome weapons too:
Grand os poli
from Deepholm,
Couteau de poche émoussé
from Cataclysm,
Os rongé
from level 10-20 zones, and
Zirgouflex rutilant
from level 50 naga.
Humorous Junk
There are just some items that can’t be classified, but bring a smile to even the twitchiest rogue’s face.
Main de rechange
is literally an extra hand, a weapon from Howling Fjord, Borean Tundra, and Dragonblight.
Une citrouille de la Sanssaint
drops from level 60-70 demons and undead.
Bouton poli par l'acide
is a wildcard; it’s from level 20-60 oozes in Azeroth, with a fun flavor text and a decent selling price. One assumes the unlucky victim was dissolved by the acidic ooze.
Relique rondelette
from select mobs in Dragonblight and Grizzly Hills, is a fun item to thrown between players during raid, a racy version of the
Caillou rigolo
.
Rivet en bronze corrodé
was meant to be used in the unimplemented
Haut-de-forme de la bonne société
.
Une effigie de Gnome
, from Burning Crusade, supports the theory that gnomes exist to be punted.
Grande coquille d'escargot
looks fairly boring from Wrath murlocs, but includes the sarcastic flavor text “Sounds like the Land.”
Tablette de hiéroglyphes
, from Uldum, is a reference to the Rosetta Stone.
The items may not be game-changing, but they add a certain charm to the class, show the humorous side of WoW, and provide collectors with a new batch of items to find. While you can't cast Heroism or tank the boss as a rogue, you can find really embarrassing items--and that's something.
