Overview
Thieving can be trained using a variety of methods. Traditional methods involve pickpocketing NPCs or stealing from stalls.
Civitas illa Fortis features several training opportunities:
- At level 1, citizens can be pickpocketed.
- At level 5, you can start thieving from stalls in the Bazaar. This is generally faster xp than pickpocketing, due to greatly accelerated stall respawn rates, and no chance of failure (after trapping the guards).
- At level 36, chests in Aldarin can be stolen from.
- At level 50, wealthy citizens (primarily when they are distracted) in the Bazaar can be pickpocketed for additional coins and house keys (which can be used as part of the stealing valuables activity).
Worthwhile training methods in other regions include:
Blackjacking bandits in Pollnivaneach, starting at level 45 Thieving.
Pyramid Plunder, starting at level 21 Thieving.
Stealing artefacts in Port Piscarilius, starting at level 49 Thieving.
Rogues' Castle chests, requiring level 84 Thieving and offering fast experience and a good number of coins per hour.
Larcenist gives the player a 100% success rate on all Thieving actions. It also gives the following benefits:
- Automatically re-pickpocket NPCs. Loot obtained from pickpocketing will be noted and increased by 10x, and this boost stacks with the Rogue's Outfit for 20x. The number of coin pouches a player can carry is also increased by 10x.
- The increased loot includes clue scrolls but they're unaffected by the Rogue's Outfit.
- Automatically re-steal from thievable stalls. Stalls will never deplete and guards will never catch a player. Loot obtained from stalls will be noted and increased by 10x.
- Valuables stolen in Varlamore will be increased by 10x.
