Thieving training

⌊undefined⌋ Thieving is one of the 18 skills in. It requires patience and a bit of luck. Certain quests require a specific Thieving level to progress, such as the Temple of Ikov or Legends Quest. Visit the thieving article for more information on this skill.

Getting started (Levels 1 - 5)

 * The first thing you should do to start training the Thieving skill, is to pickpocket Men which can be found all over Gielinor.
 * Each successful pickpocket yields 3 coins and 8 Thieving experience.
 * Simply pickpocket men 49 times to obtain 392 experience, which is enough to reach Thieving level 5.

Skill mastery (Levels 5 - 99)
Head to East Ardougne and do the following:
 * 1) Steal from Baker's Stalls until level 25 Thieving.
 * 2) Pickpocket Warriors (Al Kharid, female) until level 40 Thieving.
 * 3) Pickpocket Guards until level 70 Thieving.
 * 4) Pickpocket Paladins to  level 99 Thieving.

Found below is a table of what a player would gain if they followed the above route for getting 99 Thieving:

XP rates
At around level 60, knights are not as fast as guards because knights are less populated throughout the game and where they are found, they have a tendency to walk a lot which reduces experience rates substantially. Also, their fail rate is still rather high at this level and so guards are recommended. At level 70+, it is recommended for the player to train on paladins, which can be found on the of Ardougne Castle.

Tips

 * It is advisable to sell the cakes stolen from the Baker's Stall back to its owner only if the shop stock is less than 33. Otherwise, save them up for use as a free source of healing when pickpocketing.
 * Stealing cake from the stall to heal is also a good idea when Thieving other characters and stalls in the area.
 * Be wary of Paladins if your Hits are low. They can easily kill you in 3 hits if your hitpoints are 10 or lower.
 * While you can pickpocket rogues located in level 55 Wilderness, it is not advisable to do as a training method. This is because it's very dangerous due to the possibility of PKers in the area.
 * If you are looking to train Thieving as well as combat, you would find much success as the rogues seem to have low Defense.
