IMPORTANT: The listed profit rate is calculated at 94 
while wearing full Rogue equipment (requires 50 and 50 
) with completion of the Ardougne Diary (hard) (requires 72 , boostable). Players with lower thieving will not achieve this profit rate and should see the table below for their estimated profit.
Pickpocketing master farmers can yield good amounts of seeds for Farming. The real money-makers are Ranarr seeds and Snapdragon seeds (worth 49,189 and 57,312 respectively). These seeds are very rare (appearing every 1/302 and 1/2083 pickpockets) but make up 89.6% of the profit.
The master farmer, whether he's Martin in Draynor or not, has to be trapped inside the fence to optimise the Thieving experience. He moves on his own accord, so players will have to wait patiently to trap him. After he's trapped, players should be courteous and keep the gate closed.
The Zeah master farmer can be easily trapped next to the ladder.
If low on health, players can steal some cake from the Baker's stall in Ardougne. Otherwise, players will need to use conventional food to restore Hitpoints.
Profit varies enormously based off thieving level, greatly improving after certain milestones. At 50 players can equip full Rogue equipment for guaranteed double loot, doubling profit. At 72 players can complete the Ardougne Diary (hard) for an additional 10% pickpocketing boost. It is not recommended to thieve Master farmers for profit at low levels as there are much better money making methods out there. Below are some experience and profit estimates at certain levels.
At 38 thieving, players should expect a pickpocketing success rate of 57.5% leading to
758
pickpockets per hour giving 32,607 and 161,097 profit.
At 50 thieving, players gain the ability to use Rogue equipment for guaranteed double loot. At this level while using the equipment they should expect a pickpocketing success rate of 64.7% leading to
943
pickpockets per hour giving 40,542 and 400,606 profit.
At 60 thieving, using full rogue equipment players should expect a pickpocketing success rate of 70.7% leading to
1129
pickpockets per hour giving 48,550 and 479,727 profit.
At 70 thieving, players can boost to complete the Ardougne diary (hard) for the 10% (multiplicative) improved pickpocketing success. At this level (using full rogue equipment and the diary bonus) they should expect a pickpocketing success rate of 84.4% leading to
1724
pickpockets per hour giving 74,122 and 732,410 profit.
At 80 thieving, using full rogue equipment and Ardougne diary bonus players should expect a pickpocketing success rate of 91% leading to
2148
pickpockets per hour giving 92,383 and 912,844 profit.
At 90 thieving, using full rogue equipment and Ardougne diary bonus players should expect a pickpocketing success rate of 97.6% leading to
2730
pickpockets per hour giving 117,389 and 1,159,934 profit.
At 94+ thieving, with the Ardougne diary bonus players will no longer fail to pickpocket Master farmers and (using full rogue equipment) can achieve the maximum possible rate of 3000 pickpockets per hour giving 129,000 and 1,274,658 profit.
