THIS SKILL IS MEMBERS ONLY

-=Basic Info=-

The thieving skill is used for a number of different activities. Using this skill you are able to steal from town stalls, pick non-player's pockets, disarm traps, and to pick locks in the new town of Ardougne. You can only steal from stalls in the town of Ardougne.

Pickpocketing


The use of pickpocketing is rather simple, you can not steal from players across Runescape only non-players. Some of these monsters are men, farmers, and guards. As you get a higher thieving level you will be able to steal from higher level monsters and get better treasure. You get the same treasure from a monster every time. To pickpocket a monster all you simple do is right click on it, then chose the option pickpocket. If you fail to succeed it will attack, so low level players beware! Below is a table of each monster you can pickpocket, the XP they give, and what treasure they give.

Thanks to Thasor for these great pickpocketing tips!
Suggestions for thieving:

  1. Unequip all weapons and power amulets when thieving from NPCs. You don't want to bash them to death; you want to make them last as long as possible so that you can continue stealing from them. You would want to have everything equipped when stealing from a stall just in case you are caught.

  2. When stealing from NPCs, drink! Drink as much wine as you need to lower your attack. As a friend of mine said, this is one time when you *want* to be hitting zeroes. :-) Be careful of drinking ales or beer, as some of these may lower your defense as well.

  3. If you are caught while stealing from NPCs, RUN!!! Run away so that you can steal from them again.



Lockpicking



Certain doors in the game came are only allowed to be opened if their lock is picked. Lockpicking is another simple task, all you do is right click on a door and it will you give you a picklock option. When you start out picking locks as a low level thief you will only be able to pick a few different locks but, as you gain levels you will be able to gain entry to a vast amount of buildings allowing you to explore the whole runescape world.

Trap Disarming



Certain objects in the game such as chests have traps on them. Another simple task in thieving, all you do is right click on a chest or another item with a trap on it and chosse to the dis-arm trap option. If you are a high enough thieving level you with then recieve whatever it is thats being protected. This task is also risky, if you fail to disarm the trap you will then be injured or poisened.
