> [@One\_And\_Only\_Wanderers](#): > > Questhelper q > > One annoying thing with qiesthelper, some items, it tries to direct me to the nearest mailbox outside an inn, or an AH. I assume this is due to some people having procured the item in question from the AH and mailed it to an alt. How do I get it to stop trying to send me to the damn mailbox? I want to go to whichever area pops the item. Don’t know much about questhelper, but some items required for quests are crafted items that you can only get from a player with the right skill - for instance there’s a quest in Ashenvale that calls for a Deadly Blunderbuss, which only Engineers can make - if you’re not an Engineer you either need to find one to make it for you or buy one at the AH. Don’t know if that’s the deal with the quest you’re talking about. ---

I have had 2 in my bags for several months now and I cannot seem to meet up with a lock pick to open them. What else can I do - destroy them? Thanks Q ---

This particular quest calls for a bolt of woolen cloth and a Hillman’s cloak. Do I need a tailor or something? I suppose I should check the quest out in Thottbot. ---

Do I need a tailor or something? I suppose I should check the quest out in Thottbot. Bolts of cloth are made by tailors (out of regular cloth), though you sometimes find them in treasure chests. I think Hillman’s stuff is made by leatherworkers, actually. ---

> [@One\_And\_Only\_Wanderers](#): > > I had one. I couldn’t auction it because it was a lootable item, or so the system told me. Interesting. I wonder why Blizzard decided to make it work (or not work) that way. I suppose it would be possible for someone to pick a lockbox, check out the item inside it, and then not loot it and instead auction the lockbox if they didn’t like the item. Still, Quasi, you can at least sell the boxes to a vendor if you’ve already tried asking around for a rogue to help you out with them. ---

Well, you could give 'em a couple seconds of fight, anyway. 😛 You could probably take one down in a group, but I wouldn’t try it on your own for quite a while. > [@](#): > > Can we hop into that melee and do some good or best just to move along nothing to see here?

My pocket healer made a guild called, IIRC, \< the WAREWOLFS Rising \> back on Borean Tundra as a joke. He’d advertise for it in Trade chat on an alt, just to see the hilarious responses from people trying to tell him that he spelled it wrong. He even, shockingly, had some people join. Most of them wandered off after a few days (or after they saw there was nothing in the gbank to ninja), but I think a few are still there. > [@One\_And\_Only\_Wanderers](#): > > How do I get it to stop trying to send me to the damn mailbox? As has been observed, there are some quest items (mainly, or perhaps exclusively, in the old world) that have to be created by players. However, you can still get rid of that marker on your map, if it’s bugging you (at least until you relog or reload your UI). Right-click the marker, then select either “Ignore” or “Ignore this location.” The former will hide the quest from your map entirely; the latter will just stop marking that particular spot to complete it. > [@aruvqan](#): > > WhAt bOtHeRs Me Is ThE JaCkAsSeS wHo CaNt SeEm To WrItE a NoRmAl WoRd. dUdE wUt U gOt aGaInSt InTeRcApS bRaH!!! > [@Quasimodem](#): > > I have had 2 in my bags for several months now and I cannot seem to meet up with a lock pick to open them. What else can I do - destroy them? If you really wanted to, you could, but they’ll have a green item in there, at least. A better bet is to advertise in Trade chat with the kinds of lockboxes you have, and/or the lockpicking skill required to open them. Rogues need to open boxes to get their skill up, so a lot of them will be happy to do it, especially if you offer a tip. Otherwise, you can watch Trade chat whenever you’re in a capital city, and you might actually find someone advertising lockpicking services. ---

I am just sorry that at the rate my pally has been lvling I will be too high to join the next run. Good thing you DPSed. I do have a Ret spec, but I haven’t spent any points in it in at least 15 levels and haven’t _ever_ dpsed on that toon. I probably wouldn’t have been very good! Too bad about outleveling us. You’ll have to roll a DK 🙂 I _think_ we can do Crypts next week, although it’s still orange for me in the DF and I’m at the minimum recommended level. Depending on the group, we may decide to just do a Random from the BC dungeons we’ve already done. Also, anyone who wants to do Black Morass with us (after Crypts) needs to do the questline to unlock it – including me. Where does that start? ---

Black Morass is completely unconnected to that quest, as far as I can remember. To unlock BM, you need to do Durn. ---

> [@Shot\_From\_Guns](#): > > Black Morass is completely unconnected to that quest, as far as I can remember. To unlock BM, you need to do Durn. D’oh! I was reading the list wrong. It’s Durnholde we have to do, not Black Morass. BM is a level 70 dungeon that we’ll get to eventually. And it looks like to do Durn, you just need to do a quest that shows you around the Caverns of Time. So it should be easy to get that out of the way. ---

Ok, I have been leveling my JC since I decided that engineering was a waste of my time and gold… I’ve gotten myself to JC skill 426 now… I know there are a ton of JC leveling guides, I’ve referred to a couple of them to find good choices for items to make to level.
