EDIT 2: Now that Upper Blackrock Spire has been revamped, this comment of mine is completely out of date, and I have marked it as such. However, for nostalgia's sake, I'll leave it here.

EDIT: Since this item will be obsolete after 2.3 there's not much use for my little guide here. However, someone might still want to raise Ravenholdt reputation or farm the boxes for other uses, such as raising lock picking, so I'll keep the guide here.

To farm blinding powder fast, as well as to make money and reputation on the side, head on down to Blackrock Spire. You won't need the upper side key.

Pickpocket the around 300 humanoid mobs in the lower part to get Heavy Junkboxes. Run out and reset the instance whenever necessary.

You can get up to 1 box per minute down there, as well as somewhere around 15-17 gold per hour in straight cash from pickpocketing. Results may of course vary according to your pickpocketing speed, pickpocket resists, and whether you've got Elusiveness/Preparation to avoid dying in the instance.

Remember to have "Auto Loot Corpse" from Interface/Basic options on, as it will make the job a whole lot easier. It doesn't only loot corpses automatically, but every other container as well.

Once you've collected a hefty amount of boxes, head on up to Hillsbrad, up North to the Ravenholdt Manor. Open up your boxes, and get everything from inside them except the least valuable item, which is usually a shabby knot or some flash powder. There must be at least one item or some cash inside the box when you've finished looting it, so it won't disappear. At this point it is a good idea to take off the "Auto Loot Corpse" so you don't have to keep pressing the auto loot (Shift by default) key all the time.

Once you've got all of the valuables and blinding powder out of the boxes, go see Fahrad on the second floor balcony of the manor. He will ask you to turn in five Heavy Junkboxes for some Dusksteel Throwing Knives. Completing the quest will net you 75 reputation with Ravenholdt (82.5 if you're human), and you can sell the knives for 1g 32s 53c a piece. The knives are Unique, so you will have to sell them one at a time. Run down into the basement where you will find two vendors who you can sell the knives to.

NOTE: Right now (3rd of August, 2007) the only real use of Ravenholdt reputation is to get the -10% Honored reputation vendor discount if you would like to use the Ravenholdt manor as your base for some reason. However, the value of the knives you get as a reward for turning 5 junkboxes in far exceeds the cash or value of the items left in those 5 boxes, so if you want some extra cash from your boxes, turn them in.

This method of farming blinding powder will usually earn you something like 30 gold and 150 blinding powder per hour. That's 50 fadeleaves worth of powder as well as a good amount of gold to buy poisons with.

Remember that you can have your pickpocketing attempt resisted, in which case you want to use Vanish. If your Vanish isn't up, then just dispose of any mobs that have spotted you. As a level 70 rogue with decent gear it should be no problem for you to kill three or four of the elites down there at once. Safest bet, however, is to always have an escape plan. There are areas in the Spire where you can get to, and the mobs can't. They will then evade after a while and you will get out of combat.

In patch 2.3, this will no longer be needed. Blind will no longer require a reagent. Sticky on the official Rogue forums details the change and others.

Personally I'm keeping a stack on my bank alt for posterity. On the plus side, now it no longer has a reagent i find myself using it more....even though I never had trouble acquiring the mats before.

Returned to the game expecting to have some PvP fun with my long ago palyed rogue.. and I find 160x gray Blinding Powders in my bags... too bad they are worth only 25s per stack. Pre 2.3 that would have been a small fortune. :(

I use blind WAY more now that it doesn't need Blinding Powder.

I can rest easy since the only reagent i need i can buy without being an herbalist or going to an overpriced auction house. So im not really sad :P.

Ha, no wonder I get blinded so much now compared to before. I too just came back after 2.3, still have some powder left, and have been getting blinded like there's no tomorrow in BG's

Comentário de barak0

"Once favored by rogues as a blinding agent, it was abandoned for more readily available resources... like dirt."

Probably the funniest tooltip in the game =)

@anyone who trashed/vendored this item: "This item is not available to players." ~ Might be worth something after all...

Comentário de Madikin
