A Thieving cape is the master cape of Thieving. The cape can be bought alongside the Thieving hood for 99,000 coins from the skill master, which in this case happens to be Martin Thwait at the Rogues' Den.
Like all skill capes, the Thieving cape gives +9 to all defensive stats, and also a +4 bonus to prayer if it is trimmed, which requires a separate skill at level 99. The cape is automatically trimmed if this condition is met.
When the thieving cape is equipped, players pickpocketing NPCs will have an additional 10% chance of being successful. This effect stacks multiplicatively with the Ardougne Diary or gloves of silence bonuses.[1]
This item can be stored in the cape rack of a costume room, as part of the Thieving cape set, along with the hood. Ultimate Ironmen will be unable to retrieve individual pieces until the full set is stored.
As of 1 August 2026, there are 206,683 players that have achieved level 99 in Thieving.

Effects on Pickpocketing
This table shows information about pickpocketable NPCs and how the Thieving Cape affects them. It lists the pickpocket chance at 99, the pickpocket chance at 99 with the Hard Ardougne diary, and the pickpocket chance with the cape and diary. Some have been removed as they're intended to be blackjacked, and pickpocket rates are unknown. They are in order of unlock by default. Loot from these NPCs is located on their respective pages.
