Guide finished I think :)

This is my first guide and so is quite simple, most people should find the tips in here common sense. I am expanding it to a thieving guide atm. It's quite reduntant now as Pyramid pluder is faster I think but I'm rubbish at it lol. Pictures on how to trap guards coming soon.... Also coming soon - Battlestaff and seaweed collecting guide! Contents 1.Equipment setup 2.Inventory and food 3.Ingame setup 4.Levels to thieve 5.Luring the NPC/Where to thieve 6.General Tips 1. Equipment setup This is what you want to wear. Apparently a low weight improves chances of making a pickpocket. Im not sure if this is true but if you run for more food it can't do much harm. In this, the bow is the most useful - it stops you attacking them which can be a little annoying. Im not sure about the gloves. If you have lots in bank then use them but they decay about every 100 thieves. I was thieving paladins with a friend - he had 81 thieving and i had 72. He had no gloves and I had the gloves of silence and I was slightly more successful. However, he might of been looking away for a while so the result is inconclussive lol... 2. Inventory Suggested food: Cakes - free(or cheap) and if stolen give even more xp :P. Other foods are ok but I find cakes do the job fine. It's pretty obvious what your inventory will look like...(assuming you are not thieving from master farmers, paladins, elves etc.) If you are thieving from them just put less food in invetory. The space is for Gold incase you didn't realise... I don't know who came up with the idea below but I think I saw it on these forums. Thank you. Simply, put the seeds that you would want to keep in your inventory - it probably depends on your farming level. Fill the rest with cakes (or other food.) 3. Ingame Setup This makes pickpocketing more efficient 4. Levels to thieve Levels 1-5 Simply pickpocket men (or women) till level 5. Only 49 successful picks are needed so it shouldn't take too long. Levels 5-20 Get to ardounge and steal from the cake stall. Do this 256 times and bank all the cakes. You get 16 Xp each time you do it. *TIP* If a guard spots you, quickly click steal again - you get the cake. Levels 20-38 Personally, with hindsight here I would have carried on with the Cake stall. However, I got silk from the stall and banked it to sell it to him. When I was a new member, this money helped me quite a bit. (even though it isn't that much...) Levels 38*-55 Here theive master farmers. Best place is Draynor market place but there is one north of Ardounge. Alternativly you could wait till 40 and start on guards (I did this and its simpler although now I regret not having as many watermelon seeds lol) [Tips on how to trap guards coming up in a bit] *level 40 if you wait until guards Levels 55-80 From 55 onwards for training do Knights. If you find you are failing too much then stay on guards/farmer. You can start Paladins at 70 but you will fail too much for them to be reasonable XP. Some guides suggest doing these till 99 and whilst they are faster XP, there is less Gp. You get 84.3xp per Knight pickpocket Levels 80+ Do Paladins for money and a good amount of xp and Knights for xp. Simple! 5. Luring the NPC/Where to theive Luring the NPC is moving it into a room where it is less likely to be killed by a random noob. It also means you spend less time running around chasing it as you can trap the NPC in corners (See below). The main place to theive in Ardougne is here. Now to lure them follow these steps: Here, just walk up the stairs and back down again. Reequip your bow and theive to your hearts content. (I had to change NPC cause the guy in torags killed him :( 6. General Tips If stealing from chests or stalls, pick a busy world - they respawn faster Otherwise, for pickpocketing, chose an empty world - less Noobs will kill the NPC you are Stealing from (Merchanting worlds are also good - the theiving spots are empty as everyone is trying to make money buying and selling. Faster xp is now possible from Pyramid pluder and possibly summer garden. An idea I have come up with is to use Guthan to heal - this would be useful in Ardounge castle as there there are plenty of paladins to respawn and they will all do it in the room you are in - meaning you don't have to retrap them. However, would you risk your Guthans?. I have not tried this and if you get carried away I dont want to be responisble lol. Thanks to soulegleon for the tips below! Thats it! Please say how I can improve the guide and point out any bad shpelling :P

Nice guide. My main is boring (matthew t d) but i think my pker has an ok name: 5layer pk3r. ok it has leetspeak but slayer pker was taken up.

Thats why they get lots of characters up at different times.

Nice but would a formula based on total Xp be more accurate?

I think this is a bug... On RS if you click Skills then Woodcutting, there is no lvl required for yews... Highest is 54 - Arctic pine

NEW RUNE MINING SPOT... useful for miners i suppose

in no particular order: Slayer, Herblore & farming Rc is also hard and technically Construction is - if you find getting money hard. Mining is also hard to get to high lvls lol.

DON'T!! (or dont say that anyway...) Its illegal under same rule as macroing i think. It counts as going AFK which is a bannable offence.

Zammy wanted att bonus for barrows lol

slayer - breaks even for me (repair guth and torag) Barrows - Profit usually Fletching/alching my own nats - was good until i paid 2m for 2k willows! Battlestaffing/alching - crafting xp and my own nats to alch means profit

maybe maplestory - not java but fairly similar (even though i've never played it :P)

We need more new players for economy - for example, eventually if everybody earns enough and buys a whip then demand will reach nearly 0 and then the price will crash to around the high alch price :shock: . If its not for new players, how else can we sell our item such as g mauls - high lvl players have very little use for them

meh the day before it came out i said to my brother i reckon it will be jack o lanterns. Also, has anyone played 'Bully' (Canis Canem Edit) - the Halloween thing in that has exactly the same costumes!! Skeleton suit and jack o lantern lol

apes ftw... 60 agil atm cant be bothred lol

I compltly agree. Why should they make them seperate? However i do think they should raise the lvl to get into cooking guild slightly and add more things to it.

i think they use rings of recoil to train slayer lol. apparently 5k xp per hour

i'd always assumed the friendlist followed the person, and not the name :-k Seeing as how you can't change names it clearly doesn't follow the player.

i used to (and probably still will) say Ar-dung-ga

Violence is not the solution. Just look at Iraq - The way it seems now, it looks like they were actually better off under a genocidal dictator. It seems like diplomacy is the best solution dispite Iran's apparent lack of communication. The main reason (or excuse...) that terrorists are attacking western countries is that we allowed Jews into Palesteine (now israel...). Now they use us attacking Iraq and Afganistan as an excuse/reason. Attacking Iran will only increase the ferocity of 'terrorists'. Iran is already winning the war with america... The proxy war with lebannon was a faliure by Israel (aka America). I think thats all i wanted to say... p.s i hate the bush administration and its foreign policy lol

plagiarism ftw! lol...

1337 skill total is 1337. Lol, its probably several things 1)firecape 2)90 in a skill other than firemaking 3)1.6k minimum skill total 4)of course a phat set

the saw gives a +3 bonus to your constrution lvl whilst using it i believe. It can also be used with tea giving a total maximum bonus of +6

No because the mod "said" item scamming

no offence but it was a bit of a nooby thing to do... Surely you relaise that Jagex will ban you for doing the slightest thing thats nearly wrong, yet somebody could bot for ages and probably get anyway with it. I wouldn't risk my account like that but who/whatever banned you is stupid
