Still no love for thieving?

[Master_Smither]

I admit, I haven't been a member for a good time, but I have been checking the updates in awhile, and to me it still seems thieving is one of the hardest to level stats (requires a ton of clicking at least, not sure on xp rates these days with that pyramid thing), and you get crap money from it too.

 

 

 

Have you not tried mining?

 

Mining is the most clicking skill you'll ever try ever.

 

 

 

Also theiving is in the top 5 easiest 99's and you can make money too. With PP you can make 200K+ xp an hour and is very easy to do.

[Freesia]

alrite lvl 95, thief monster (combat 63+) is aggressive and retreats. its aggresive to all players then. and requires a high lvl to thieve stealables? lets say.

 

200coins - 300coins

 

average: astral runes(1) law (1) mith dagger

 

very rare stolen goods: clue scroll throw that in their(lvl2) and genie lamps(half the exp as normal genie lamps)

 

Ok speaking of this, I forgot to mention another bad problem of thieving. You are expecting a fairly high fail rate of pickpocketing for npcs above paladins even at lvl 99. Yep failing 4 times on a row on a hero is common.

Wow, only 4 times in a row? Thats pretty dang lucky if you ask me.

 

 

 

And don't even get me started on elves...

 

 

 

At any rate, I agree that thieving at this point in time is quite worthless. What we really need is something like gnomes or elves that can be done consistantly at higher levels without ridiculous failure rates.

No, fletching was before String X, so its not the most ever :wink:

That is at lvl 99 though. You are suppose to be master of thieving, not expecting ridiculous fail rates like this...

Well if we are talking pickpocketing, I think that's even more clicking than mining since pickpocketing you have to constantly right click and eat, although "powermining" does require a lot of it.. Once again, missing the main point. I understand now PP is fast, about 10 people have told me.

 

 

 

As for fletching, yeah that was pretty bad, I got to level to make yew longs before the update on RS2. Have you ever fletched in RSC? Probably one of the most painful things ever a long with herblaw. You would have to click on a yew log (inventory gets closed down), move your mouse back to your inventory, and click on the knife, then go to the left of the screen and click on what you want to make, and you have one bow. That's not even counting having to sleep for fatigue.

[Silver_Corner]

On here it has no use to make money, gather things, or combine materials into something else, like every other skill does. Sure you CAN make money from it, but it's completely worthless compared to the money you can make from other skills in the same amount of time.

 

 

 

I don't understand how Jagex didn't do anything to increase the rewards. Before thieving runes was quite profitable. Now on RS2 runes are only a fraction of the cost, yet Jagex kept the quantity of runes given the exact same. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?

 

 

 

Sidenote: I guess I didn't realize sceptre was so expensive, seems overpriced. If they are as rare as you are saying though they don't really count for a decent source of money.

 

 

 

1) Sceptre is only 600k. Thats not overpriced, as you can easily repay that if you collect gold tokens from PP, or any other meathods of theieving.

 

 

 

2) Who says a skill should always give you lots of profit? There are plenty of skills out there which yield almost no profit, even to higher levels. Agility for example. How much can you make with agility a day? Its a secondary skill to help you with primary skills.

 

 

 

If you like to train the skills, thats fine. But if your in it for the money, dont use that skill to make your money. Theres PLENTY of other skills that can be used to make enormous ammounts of cash p/hour.

 

 

 

Theiving is fine where it is, where it has always been. I dont see any reason to make it a quick/high cash making skill when it has yet to be on RS2. (Espeically since how quickly PP makes it to level).

yes gnomes are horrible to. even paladins are a bit high on the fail status. id like to noice a difference between 70 and 80.

2. Read the bold, once again, missing the point. If it's not a money maker, WHAT IS IT? It doesn't help with any of your other stats.

Thieving is supposed to be used as a gathering skill. You can thieve seeds for farming, thats how it helps your stats.

[wild_goat_14]

I don't think it qualifies as gathering for other skills, because the things you gather are useless!(except for cash)

[jessy87]

 

Thieving is supposed to be used as a gathering skill. You can thieve seeds for farming, thats how it helps your stats.

 

 

 

 

 

go on, except for seed the runes are virtually useless. ill elaborate later.

 

 

 

 

 

other then cash heres how it would go for useful objects

 

 

 

seeds from master farmers.

 

chaos runes from paladins

 

clue scroll from HAM

 

gems stall

 

 

 

runes

 

blood runes teleport you have a high lvl failure and require a high lvl to pick and a few other things.

 

chaos, the only rune that seems acceptable to pickpocket. i believe its 2 for a paladin oh its been some time.

 

death from heros. okay, im not 80 thieving close but not.

 

natures, slow great place to mass alch but very slow, also dont this thing poison?

 

 

 

seeds, well this is perhaps the only great way to start farming, honestly when they added farming items to the game before the skill EVERYONE was @ master farmers gathing literally a combined billion seeds over the few weeks. every world had 5-20 people thieving on it almost around the clock the thing was, you can obtain damn near any seed except for tree seeds hence great thing is when you dont know where to start farming heres where to look.

 

 

 

chaos runes, very reasonable to steal and $ is included the failure rate is slightly annoying and very high infact, if im not mistaken i read some1 saying that they had 22 or so thieves from a paladin before they failed(amazing honestly)

 

 

 

clues, lvl 1 clues dont sound that great? well they are tons faster to find and complete yet still yield a reward of a great magnitude at times.

 

 

 

gems, slow...very slow but not bad. i always grab 1 when i goto ardounge a tip a friend told me and i started using after 75. the number of times ive gotten ruby and diamons i could count on both my hands.

 

 

 

 

 

I don't think it qualifies as gathering for other skills, because the things you gather are useless!(except for cash)

 

 

 

oh, no your correct its not really a gathering skill, but it could have been a good 1.

 

 

 

 

 

oh, and wild goat how many gold items do you have? and perhaps what might they cost?

[xpx]

Read what you said on the second post and still- this thread is pointless- it it obvious you know very little- too little about the skill to make these assumptions.

 

 

 

Firstly- thieving is the 3rd easiest skill in Runescape and hasn't ever been a hard skill to level- jagex have added PP, black gloves and Master farmers to make the skill even easier.

 

 

 

Secondly- there are very few skills in runescape that make a lot of money, MOST runescape skills make A LOT less money that thieving, and have less varied ways of making money- you can thieve farmers, you can use PP and get scepters, you can thieve knights for gold, you can thieve paladins for chaos runes- the list goes on and on, where's for most skills in runescape there are very few to nothing ways of making money.

 

 

 

To be honest, this thread is just of mis-knowledge and should be locked.

Are you the original xpkxwhatever from RSC, the 99 pure ranger one just out of curiosity, or just an imposter?

 

 

 

How is this thread pointless? I wanted to know if perhaps there was some reason Jagex hasn't done pretty much anything other than PP for thieving since RS2 has come out. I'm pretty sure the only thing I didn't know about thieving was the whole PP thing. It seems obvious to me that you just have a big ego

 

Firstly, congrats, you're the 10th person to miss the main point of this thread. If you had actually read through the posts, you would realize you just repeated what several others already stated.

 

Secondly, those ways of making money are terribly slow, unless they have improved since I last thieved (which admittedly was awhile ago). Again, it doesn't necessarily have to be a money maker. It at least needs SOME PURPOSE, which no one has given me, with the exception of the poster who mentioned it could be used as a gathering skill. It CAN be used as a gathering skill, but you're much better off doing other things to get the materials you CAN gather as it's really slow, although you guys do make a fairly good point with the seeds, but as Jessy said, that seems pretty much just to get started thieving.

 

 

 

How is thread "just of mis-knowledge?" Do you have any clue what you're talking about?

Know what i am talking about?

 

 

 

You didn't know about the update of Pyramid Plunder, ok, ill forgive you that, but You are still ststing that there have NOT been any more additions to the skill? oh please. You stated that the amount of runes you gained in rsc has stayed the same as it is in rs2, but i'm sorry to burst you bubble, it hasn't- as all arrows and runes doubled with the release of rs2, the loot from paladins increased as well.

 

 

 

Secondly, with the addition of Hunter, jagex also released gloves of silence, that make pickpocketing a lot easier- you can gain a steady 170k thieving experience and 100k gold in an hour thieving knights of ardougne, and about 100k thieving experience and 200-300k gold in an hour thieving Master farmers. And as slayer gains 13k xp h and ~400k coins, 20k xp h and 500k coins for runecrafting, id say that thieving is one of the best skills to level if you want money and experience.

 

 

 

Thirdly, as you've already understood, you completely missed with the point of thieving being a hard skill.

 

 

 

May i ask you, when did you last see a minigame devoted to cooking come out, of fletching? or even fishing, but no, jagex did release the sorceresses gardens for thieving.

 

 

 

So, i don't know anything about about thieving? rather you have missed a lot of updates jagex has put into the game to make thieving better.

 

 

 

And no, i don't think thieving needs and additions added to what it already has- since the release of rs2 the number of npc-s you can pickpocket has gone up more than three times, the number of chests and stalls has gone up two times, and it has been given two minigames.

 

 

 

And I'll have to say this again- it seems like you have missed all the good updates of thieving, and really should not have made a thread.

 

 

 

[i am not an imposter of anyone,don't even know who you are talking about or why, but it rather seems that you have played too much rsc and are still stuck with that game- the times have moved on.]

[wild_goat_14]

Xpx, I don't get your figure of 200k-300k GP an hour with master farmers. Please explain how?

 

 

 

Also, with knights, 100k gp an hour isn't bad, but there are way better ways to make money, and thieving(even at the maximum level) makes little to none(for a gathering skill). Thieving has had updates, none of which made the skill useful. Everyone still overlooks thieving more than almost any other skill except crafting. Why? Because there is no use in it. Pyramid Plunder is not a moneymaker, it is an xp game. Now we need something that gives crappy xp and decent rewards. Something, anything that will make Thieving worthwhile.

 

 

 

 

 

oh, and wild goat how many gold items do you have? and perhaps what might they cost?

 

 

 

366 Gold Seals-500gp each-183k total

 

850 Gold Scarabs-750gp each-637.5k total

 

417 Gold Statuettes-1Kgp each-417k total

 

3 Pharoah's Sceptres-600Kgp each-1800k

 

 

 

Total-3,037,500 GP profit(without costs subtracted)

[krisc6]

Cant stand thieving myself.so boring and montonous and i struggled to level from 47-48.Dont care much for thieving and it grinds my gears that nearly every quest i planon doing has a 50+ thieving requirement.

Try the Scorceress's Garden mini-game, at that level, I think fall garden is the best XP you can get. If you need like level 60, just buy some supplies for Plunder.

 

 

 

If you don't like those, then questing won't be too fun.

Thank you, this was the kind of post I was looking for. I didn't realize you could make that much money thieving, and actually I too kind of find it hard to believe you can make that much on the master farmer. Thank you for the response though.

[meili]

Thank you kido14 and the others here who finally proved to me that yes, there are some people who actually get why thieving is neglected.

 

 

 

Pyramid plunder is a ridiculous way to level. You get exp but precious little else. Yeah you have a chance of getting a very rare item, gl with that if you can stand clicking millions of times without getting any reward first. *rolls eyes*

 

 

 

:roll: :roll: :roll:

 

 

 

The real problem of this thread is that almost no one on it has any idea of what you mean about thieving in RSC. Most posters here never played it. :lol: They don't know that thieving can be a very fun and interesting skill *if* when you pick a pocket/steal from a chest you get a significant amount of loot.

 

 

 

RS1 vs RS2 thieving is a big letdown. Yes, I know about Pyramid Plunder. Thieving isn't for exp. It's a skill of sleathily stealing wealth from places or people. Do you really think a thief would spend all day stealing from people because "wow I need to practice my skills"? Nope, they do it because they want the gold and other valuable items.

The real problem of this thread is that almost no one on it has any idea of what you mean about thieving in RSC. Most posters here never played it. :lol: They don't know that thieving can be a very fun and interesting skill *if* when you pick a pocket/steal from a chest you get a significant amount of loot.

 

 

 

RS1 vs RS2 thieving is a big letdown. Yes, I know about Pyramid Plunder. Thieving isn't for exp. It's a skill of sleathily stealing wealth from places or people. Do you really think a thief would spend all day stealing from people because "wow I need to practice my skills"? Nope, they do it because they want the gold and other valuable items.

 

I thought this went down to the 3rd or 4th page or something. Anyways I'm really glad you posted, simply because it means something coming from you, and you make me feel like I'm not crazy :D . Before I got members I used to see the Pickpocket option under some of the NPC's names that I would fight, and that was the one skill skill I really wanted to try, and its the first thing I did after I got members. I had a lot of good memories associated with that first ~30mins I got P2P. But yeah, thanks for your post =P.

 

I remember one snow day I thieved for just a few hours and I ended up making a little over 1mil from blood rune thieving since most people were in school and there were plenty of worlds to hop to. I can still remember how pleasurable it was when you're competing with someone for a chest to see that

 

There is no loot blablalal

 

There is no loot blalbal

 

etc..

 

You find a trap on the chest

 

etc

 

(or something similar to that) message. I at least felt pretty happy about that, but not just because I managed to get about 5.5k from the chest, but because I beat someone who was trying to be more stubborn than I was :).

 

 

 

Anyways, sorry about getting off topic like that again. I still don't understand why Jagex hasn't improved thieving to be on par with how it used to be, and if they did I might end up becoming a member again (probably not though with classes and everything).

Pyramid plunder is insanely fast. And as for the Pharoahs Sceptre being rare, i have plundered two of them at only 55 theiving.

 

Theiving is not a very interesting skill to train imo.
