Is there any way I can get it up to a decent level without going crazy?
If you are a normal person: No - You will need to go a little bit crazy. Not quite "The Queen is a Reptilian from Zeta Reticula" crazy, but certainly "Best Friend is an invisible rabbit called Harvey" crazy.
Bite the bullet:
Go back up that tower and keep reopening the boxes until grey. That should get you up to about 175, which is a *slightly* less embarrassing than your 94.
Or: Head back to the Barrens and pickpocket every humanoid you come across. Several lifetimes of that (Welllllllll, it will *SEEM* like lifetimes) and you'll get yourself up.
You're not going to find too many people with lowbie boxes that need opening, so the Orgrimmar shouting may prove fruitless.
Then you can pick up with HiredKillers lockpicking guide.
Me? 6 hours,12 Waterbreathing potions and most of a bottle of Jack Daniel's off the coast of Desolace, gave me enough to be able to open the several dozen lockboxes that were clogging my bank up. Combined with the "Opened lockboxes will lock themselves in the mail" bug, and I was able to hold my head up with pride - AND I'd made nearly 5 silver from the boxes.
I think the gnomish practise lock maxes out at 50, but it shouldn't be expensive, being a verrrrrrry low skilled item.
