Pickpocketing

A player pickpocketing a guard.

Pickpocketing is the act of walking up to an NPC and right-clicking them, then selecting Pickpocket. A successful pickpocket grants Thieving experience and loot. Failing a pickpocket will make the NPC damage the player and stun them for several seconds. Because of the possibility for damage, bring food to heal the damage taken.

Coins obtained via pickpocketing are obtained via coin pouches. Players can have a stack of up to 28 coin pouches in their inventory, after which they must open them before they can pickpocket more. Players can quickly open a stack of coin pouches with a single left-click. After completion of the Medium Ardougne Achievement Diaries players are able to stack more than 28 pouches, increasing to 56, 84, and 140 after completion of the medium, hard, and elite Ardougne Diaries respectively.

NPCs may be pickpocketed every two ticks (1.2 seconds). There is no need to wait until the pickpocket animation is finished before pickpocketing again. Another attempt may be performed as soon as the sound of the item entering the player's inventory is played and the experience is given.

Being stunned prevents the player from moving for nine ticks (5.4 seconds), and from further pickpocketing for eight ticks (4.8s). Eating food while stunned will extend the time before the player can pickpocket again by the food's attack delay. To avoid losing time because of this delay, time eating directly after successfully pickpocketing. Since every pickpocket will take on average$2+8(1-p)=10-8p$ ticks (based on the success chance p), the actual amount of pickpockets in n ticks will be $\frac{np}{10-8p}$ . In the same matter to gave s successful pickpockets it will take $\frac{s(10-8p)}{p}$ .

A useful trick that allows pickpocket spamming is by going to the Controls (Joystick) settings tab and changing the attack option priority to 'Always right-click'. This effectively changes the left-click option from "Attack" to "Pickpocket" for most NPCs. To avoid accidentally attacking NPCs, the player can also equip a bow without arrows.

For NPCs with a right-click "Pickpocket" option unaffected by the previous tip, such as elves, the player may change their g ame client layout to "Resizable", then orient their camera so that the NPC is close to the bottom of their screen. In the correct position, the player should be able to right-click to open the interaction menu, then left-click to pickpocket without moving their mouse down to select the option.

Equipment

Wearing certain equipment grants benefits to pickpocketing.

• The rogue outfit grants a chance of getting double loot when pickpocketing NPCs. Wearing the full set guarantees getting double loot. It does not increase success rate.
• The gloves of silence increases the success rate of pickpocketing by 5%. Degrade, but can be repaired. Requires Hunter level 54 to wear.
• Dodgy necklace provides a 25% chance to avoid being stunned and taking damage when failing a pickpocket. Each necklace has 10 charges.
• The Thieving cape (and by extension, the Max cape) will provide an additional 10% chance of being successful when pickpocketing NPCs.
• While wearing parts of H.A.M. outfit, players are less likely to be kicked out of the H.A.M. Hideout when failing to pick the pockets of H.A.M. members. This does not increase pickpocketing success rates, however.

Other effects

The Shadow Veil spell from the Arceuus spellbook provides a 15% chance to avoid being stunned and taking damage when failing a pickpocket. Requires Magic level 47 and duration scales with Magic level.

Completing the medium Ardougne Diary grants a 10% increased success rate for pickpocketing NPCs in Ardougne. This bonus is extended to all NPCs around Gielinor after completing the hard Ardougne Diary. The Ardougne cloak does not need to be equipped or be in the inventory to get this bonus.

Thievable NPCs

This table shows information about all pickpocketable NPCs. The Fail level column indicates at which level players will stop failing attempts to pickpocket the NPC, given that the Hard Ardougne diary has been completed (or the Medium Ardougne diary has been completed while pickpocketing within Ardougne). Loot from these NPCs is located on their respective pages.

Stalls

An example of a silk stall found in the East Ardougne marketplace.

There are a large number of stalls throughout Gielinor, many of which can be found in the Ardougne Market. Unlike pickpocketing, stealing from stalls has a 100% success rate as long as you are not in the line of sight of the stall owner or any of the nearby guards. If you are, the stall owner will call over a guard who will begin to attack you.

After successfully stealing from a stall, their respective owners will refuse to interact with the player until 10 consecutive in-game minutes have passed since the last theft from their stall. Time passed while logged out does not count toward removing this restriction. This extends to any NPC that owns the same type of stall, not just the one you stole from.

Multiple players can steal from the same stall, provided they do so on the same game tick.

Chests

There are many chests scattered throughout Gielinor. Some chests will have traps on them, which must be disarmed before looting them. To disarm a trap, select the "Search for traps" option from the drop-down menu.

After a player steals from a chest, they will need to wait before they can do so again. If "Search for traps" is not selected when attempting to open a trapped chest, the player will attempt to open the chest and take damage; this damage scales off of your current health down to a minimum.

Training strategies

Main article: Thieving training

Thieving minigames

There are a number of minigames which are based on or include Thieving.

• Pyramid Plunder - the desert city Sophanem has a pyramid where you can thieve for artefacts. As you get further into the pyramid, higher Thieving is required but it brings increasing amounts of Thieving experience. This is one of the fastest methods to train Thieving.
• Blackjack - another Thieving activity in the desert.
• Rogues' Den - Traverse a maze with Thieving and Agility obstacles. Modest experience. More interesting for thieves is to open the safes in the dungeon. Good for experience and for the gems that you obtain as loot. Completing the maze also has a chance of rewarding you with the Rogue outfit, which when worn will double the loot you receive from pickpocketing.
• Sorceress's Garden - An interesting game where you dodge guards and try to get fruit. Requires patience, a bit of skill, and experience, but yields excellent experience. It has four levels, each giving increased experience at levels 1, 25, 45, and 65. Bring a pestle and mortar and a large amount of empty beer glasses (can be obtained for free at the shelves in the Sorcerer's house).
• Stealing artefacts - located in Port Piscarilius, players with level 49 Thieving can talk to Captain Khaled to engage in stealing artefacts from those living in the residential district. It's a good way to train Thieving while fletching ammo or alching. Requires a lockpick or a hair clip to steal artefacts, and experience rate scales based on level.
• Stealing valuables - located in Civitas illa Fortis, players with level 50 Thieving can steal house keys and loot valuables from wealthy citizens, which can be then given to Oriana for monetary rewards.

Thieving pet

Main article: Rocky

Rocky is a skilling pet that can be obtained when training the Thieving skill. This includes stealing from stalls, pickpocketing from NPCs, picking fruit in the Sorceress's Garden and looting grand gold chests within Pyramid Plunder. The chances of getting it are dependent on the player's Thieving level, and the person/object the player is stealing from.

Changes

Date	Changes
9 September 2024 (Update)	(Hidden update) Changed the pickpocketing animation so it can play while the player is walking (e.g. when following an NPC around).
8 May 2024 (Update)	The failure rate of pickpocketing gnomes, paladins, and heroes has been reduced. There is now an uncommon chance to receive a medium clue scroll when pickpocketing a gnome. There is now a rare chance to receive a hard clue scroll when pickpocketing a paladin. There is now a very rare chance to receive a elite clue scroll when pickpocketing a hero.

Trivia

• Thieving is one of the many skills that does not require any items for training, unless the player is blackjacking, breaking into homes in Varlamore, or lockpicking.
• Picking locks has a random chance of numbing your fingers, which will result in a temporary debuff to your thieving skill. It takes roughly 1 minute per point lost to wear off.
