LockpickTooltip

World of Warcraft 1.12.1 (Vanilla) Addon — v1.2.0 Stable

Adds a line to item and world-object tooltips showing the required Lockpicking skill, colour-coded based on whether you can pick it or not.

Features

Works on bag items (lockboxes, junkboxes)
Works on world objects (chests, doors, footlockers)
Works in loot windows, merchant windows, chat item links, and quest windows
Only shows on locked objects — unlocked chests are ignored
Zone-aware skill requirements for footlockers with multiple variants (Battered, Waterlogged, Mossy, Dented)
Uses the game's own "Locked" text colour to determine which variant a footlocker is when multiple exist in a zone
Two colour modes selectable via /lpt color:
- Simple (default): Green = Pickable, Red = Skill Level Too Low
- Match: mirrors the colour of the game's own "Locked" text (red, orange, yellow, green, or grey)
Setting is saved between sessions

Known Limitations
