Try asking friends and guildmates before asking strangers.Otherwise, you can trade your boxes to the lockpicker in bulk and they can unlock them from their inventory, then trade them back to you. If you have only one or two lockboxes, put them in the 'Will not be traded' slot of the trade window.Most lockpickers would probably consider a tip between 1 and 5 per box acceptable-but again, it varies. Tips may vary depending on the type of lockbox, the number of boxes needing to be unlocked, the value of the items found inside the lockbox, cost of materials (for blacksmiths and engineers), the wealth of the tipper, or other factors. There are no set guidelines for what constitutes an acceptable tip. Even if a lockpicker offers their services for 'free,' they may still expect a tip.It is not acceptable to simply open a trade with someone in the hope they will open your item, as they may be busy with auctions or mail, and your trade request could disrupt them. You should only open a trade window with a lockpicker if they are publicly advertising their lockpicking services or you have already asked them in a whisper.When approaching a lockpicker, keep the following in mind: If you can't unlock an item yourself, you will need to rely upon the lockpicking services of a rogue, blacksmith, or engineer to do it for you. Where can I go to improve my lockpicking? The Scarlet Crusade of Tyr's Hand in the Eastern Plaguelands have many lockboxes that will challenge your skill.
