Revision as of 03:02, 14 July 2011

For information about players who pick locks, see Lockpicking.

A locksmith is an NPC who restores lost keys that could not otherwise be reacquired, such as those rewarded from quests. City guards will point out the location of locksmiths.

Locksmiths

Keys available

Known bugs

As of Patch 4.0.3a locksmiths still restore [Skeleton Key], [The Violet Hold Key], [Key to the Arcatraz], [Shattered Halls Key], and [Shadowforge Key]. This is a bug, as these keys are supposed to be removed. They will disappear from your keyring upon logging out.

-'''Meeting Stones''', also known as '''Summoning Stones''', are very large thumb-shaped stones with a mystical, glowing symbol that appear next to [[instance]]d dungeons. [http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/patch-05-07-04.html Originally], they were for filling in partial (or just-starting) [[Party|parties]] whose members met the required [http://worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/worlddungeons.html level range] by auto-inviting suitable candidates. Later, the option was added to enter a Meeting Stone queue for a dungeon whose level requirements you met by talking to any innkeeper.

-In [[Patch 2.0.1]], the Meeting Stones were reworked with the implementation of the new [[Looking For Group|LFG System]]. They now are used to summon party members to the stone near an instance. One player targets a faraway player, and clicks the Meeting Stone, creating a portal. When a second player clicks the portal, the targeted player is given a summoning dialogue very similar to the [[Ritual of Summoning| Warlock Summon]] spell.

-Note that the summoner and the person being summoned must both meet the suggested level range for the dungeon for the stone to be usable.  The second person, who clicks on the portal to finalize the summon, can be of any level.

-NOTE: On PvP servers, several Meeting Stone areas are very popular ambush points. E.g., Alliance attempting to use the [[Scarlet Monastery|SM]] Meeting Stone in Horde territory and close to an occasionally highly trafficked instance will frequently find themselves ganged up on. This depends on server population, levels, and the social norms of the server. Enjoy.
