Theres also a cake stall there. Steal from the cake stall a bit first to get some food, then go after the silk stall. When the guards attack you, wipe them out for some combat xp. I raised 4 range lvls there just by doing that!
I think you prove a great point. I just became member, but all my stats were already between 40-70, and quite honestly, a lot of the players in the free world look in your better interest. Many members think of themselves and don't care even to look at you.
Go with a range. Mage is good because it holds people in place and doesnt allow them to move with certain ones. If you don't have the money for runes, go with archery.
"Before starting the quest, my thieving lvl had been high and I had stolen from the wine merchant. Now, when I need to buy the vinegar from him to complete the quest, he yells for the guards. My friend tried to give me some but it is non tradable." I'm very confused. Any ideas?
