Training Methods
1. Pickpocketing
Pickpocketing involves stealing from NPCs. Higher level targets give more experience but have a higher chance of being caught. If caught, you may be attacked or lose items.
2. Market Stalls
Stealing from market stalls provides various items and experience. Stalls have respawn timers and may have guards nearby. Higher level stalls provide better loot.
3. Chests
Some chests can be picked for valuable loot. These often require lockpicks and have traps that can damage the player.
Thieving Mechanics
Thieving involves several important mechanics:
- Success Rate: Based on your thieving level vs. target level
- Getting Caught: Can result in damage, lost items, or being attacked
- Respawn Timers: Stalls have cooldown periods after being stolen from
- Guards: Some areas have guards that can catch you stealing
- Lockpicks: Required for some chests and provide +10 to thieving level
