Master RuneScape Thieving! Learn to pickpocket NPCs, steal from stalls, and pick locks for quick cash and experience. Your ultimate guide to becoming a master thief.

Hey there! So, you're looking to get into Thieving in RuneScape, huh? It's a pretty sweet skill, not gonna lie, especially for making some quick gold. Basically, you get to steal from other players... well, not exactly *other players*, but the NPCs in the game. It's a classic way to boost your bank account and level up your skill at the same time.

There are a few main ways to go about this, and we'll break them down:

Pickpocketing

This is probably the most straightforward method. You find a person on this list, right-click them, and select 'Pickpocket'. If they don't notice, you snag some loot! Easy peasy.

Hero80275Ardougne100 - 300 coins, 2 Death Runes, 1 Blood Rune, 1 Fire Orb, 1 Cut Diamond, 1 Gold Nugget, or 1 Wine

Stealing from Stalls

This is another popular method, especially if you're in Ardougne. You just head over to one of these stalls, right-click, and choose 'Steal From'. Just a heads-up, though: if the stall owner catches you, you might have a Guard or Knight coming after you, so be ready!

Fur Stall3536Gray Wolf Fur
Silver Stall5054Silver Nugget

Lockpicking

Need to get through a locked door? Lockpicking is your skill. You'll find various doors around the map that you can pick. To even attempt this, you'll need a lockpick, which you can usually get from Rogues. Here are the spots where you can practice your lockpicking skills:

Trap Disarming

Finally, keep an eye out for chests and stairs that might have traps. You can usually check these by right-clicking them and selecting 'Search for Trap'. It's always a good idea to check!
