As far as I’m aware inscription (Writ of Grave Robbing) or Blacksmithing (Laestrite Skeleton Key) are the only options to be able open lockboxes other than leveling a Rogue (which I don’t want to do)
A simple question, is one more preferable than the other, I want to stick it on an alt and keep it at level 1.
Inscription in general has slightly more value due to glyphs always having somewhat of a value, and especially if paired with Herbalism to sell extra herbs.
I’m not sure what your intentions are, but as a little heads up, both items require the profession skill to be used, so they can’t be used on another character that doesn’t have the respective profession.
I might be reading your post wrong, but a level 1 alt can’t learn the SL professions.
If I misread and you mean you want to put it on a lvl 50 alt and keep the profession at level 1, that would work. Just wanted to make sure there’s no disappointments
I have a 60 Warlock that I never play with Enchanting and Tailoring and as I never play it I thought I would dump Enchanting and use it to unlock the 70+ lock boxes I seem to have accrued.
I honestly couldn’t care less about the other benefits of either, it’s just the unlocking and whether say the writ is cheaper to make than the key for example.
