About Thieving

Thieving is a skill which allows players to obtain coins and items by stealing from market stalls or by pickpocketing NPC's. It is a great skill for starting off an account, as you will earn a lot of money very quickly.

Thieving locations

Edgeville

A good place to train thieving is at west of bank at Edgeville (home).

Ardougne

Another good place is Ardougne.

Wilderness

Wilderness thieving gives more xp, but it's risky because you can be killed by players. You need a level of 85 to train thieving at wilderness.

Tip: it may be a good idea to bring a chisel with you and craft the cut gems for maximum efficiency. Be aware of PKing!

Pickpocketing

Pickpocketing is the act of stealing from anothers pocket. This results in little gold, but very high experience. The downside to Pickpocketing, is that you have a chance to get caught, which will cause the player to take damage and be stunned for a while.
