Thieving

Thieving is one of the fastest and most profitable skills to train in Runescape Classic. It involves stealing from other NPCs whether it be pickpocketing or looting from stalls. Thieving is generally used to make money as coins and valuable objects are gained in the process. There are two ways to train the thieving skill: pickpocketing and looting stalls. In order to begin training the skill, the player must start by pickpocketing men until they are able to train in more efficient ways. Men can be found all over Gielinor, making the skill readily available for new players.

Pickpocket
To pickpocket, simply right-click on a specific NPC and choose the "pickpocket" option. If the pickpocket is successful, the player will gain some loot along with thieving experience. If the pickpocket fails, then the NPC will engage in combat. To continue pickpocketing, the player must run away or kill the NPC and wait for it to respawn.

Stalls
The stalls in Ardougne can also be stolen from. Looting stalls is another alternative to pickpocket. To train thieving in this method, travel to the Ardougne market and right click on a stall and select the option "steal from". Once a stall is stolen from, it will take several seconds for it to respawn with more loot. If the player is unsuccessful, the player will be attacked by a guard, knight, paladin or hero depending on the level required to steal from a stall.

Training Guide
The most efficient way to train thieving is primarily by pickpocketing as the player can receive loot quite readily. It is advisable to have weapons and armor to be prepared for any combat. Once level 5 is reached, new players should begin stealing from Cake stalls in order to have a ready supply of food during combat. Ardougne is the most preferred area to train the skill as many of the resources are located in and around this area. Higher leveled players can sell their loots back to the stall owner, but not until after certain period of time.
