Wealthy citizens are a wealthier class of Fortis citizens found throughout Civitas illa Fortis, Varlamore. They may be pickpocketed at 50 Thieving, yielding 96 Thieving experience and 85 coins. They sometimes drop house keys which can be used in the stealing valuables activity.

Every 84-99 seconds, three street urchins (Leo within the Bazaar, Julia east of the Bazaar, and Aurelia south of the Bazaar) will simultaneously distract one each for approximately 20 seconds, coupled with a sound similar to those that play in some bank areas, and with the chat message You notice an urchin distract a wealthy citizen nearby. During this time, players automatically pickpocket the NPC with a 100% success rate, and automatically stop once the wealthy citizen is no longer distracted.

If the player is not present to notice an urchin begin a distraction (for example, due to world hopping), they will auto-pickpocket at a much slower rate for approximately 15 seconds, receiving the chat message: Your hands are sweaty and keep dropping the items in the Citizen's pockets.

Pickpocketing

Pickpocket chance

Success rates are estimated based on 333,923 samples from the Drop Rate Project.

Note that pickpocket chance becomes 100% while the wealthy citizen is distracted.

Trivia

Occasionally, a bug may occur where two wealthy citizens appear to respond to the orphans' distractions at the same time. Only one wealthy citizen will actually stand next to the orphan, but both of them will respond with overhead dialogue and emotes, and both will have automatic pickpocketing enabled for the same duration. It is currently unknown what causes this bug to occur.
Occasionally, a bug may occur where no wealthy citizens respond to the orphans' distractions. This only occurs on specific worlds, and not many either, so simply switching to a different world will prevent this from happening nearly every time.
