when i open the chest in desert treasure it just says: i cant find any way to open this chest, so the question is, do i need 53 thieving to open it?

yes

 

 

 

I also heard somewhere potting doesn't help (I did it at 53 thieving)

ahh... dang it, back to training thieving for me :x

Master farmers are good for training thieving, quick one click pickpocket.

guards are good too and swich back and forth between these if u get bored

ok, tyvm for tip, i hate thieving, so i had no idea what to train on

at your thieving level, i suggest room 3 of pyramid plunder, and dont bother with anti, just bring some lobbies and tele runes. at level 51 (the 4th room) it took me 30 mins (6 runs) to get 53!

 

good luck, it's not as hard as people say..honest, although kamil is hard.

A tip for fighting Kamil:

 

 

 

Stand right in front of him and use Protect from Melee instead of Protect from Magic. His melee attacks are more devastating than his Ice spells. Use fire spells to kill him and heal with your best available food. I recommend tuna potatoes.
