99 Thieving, Need some Tips.

[PlatinumPixey]

I currently decided that I want to get 99 thieving. I started out just wanting to get to 80 from 77 but I started to really like the idea of why not just get 99. Only problem is I went from 77 to 84 in just a few days and I find my self getting bored with it. I really want to keep going with it but IDK how to keep my self motivated now. I like to talk while I'm doing things but I find trying to do Pyramid Plunder and talking just don't go well with each other cause of the time limit. I lose XP by talking but it's getting boring.

 

 

 

When I got 99 wcing that was easy because all I had to do was make sure there were no randoms and I just watched movies to pass the time while my character did all the cutting. Fletching took me awhile because I kept getting bored with it. I took many breaks trying to get it but then they updated it with the String X, just then I got it in no time because I didn't have to keep clicking anymore.

 

 

 

Anyone else who has gotten 99 thieving have any tips to make it not so boring. I really don't want to give up, I do want this to be my next 99, I just don't know how to keep it fun.

well if you really dont wanna get bored of theiving you could try setting your self a goal of 250k to 500k xp a day then once you got that much xp move onto something else for the rest of the day plus at your level you could be getting about 200k xp an hour so if you do 2 hours of theiving a day it shouldnt be to boring

Well, there are reasons why capes like Cooking and Fletching is so common, is because they can done by looking off screen. Those that say it is boring and that their cape is amazing because of it just lost the script.

 

 

 

Like above, set goals. Get a certain amount, rest and stuff. It is not entirely bad to just thieve using another method. Even if is slower, you are at least not as bored by doing the same action all day. For example, you are very close to the Blackjack location anyway, you can try your hands on that for a while.

 

 

 

Get in the habit of farming. Use an amulet of nature on the last herb, and then go thieve till they are ready. Decent income from it.

Thanks for the ideas. I thought about doing something else in between but when I seam to do that I never go back to what I wanted to work on. I think I might try out Eddo's Idea. I'm probably going to do wall safes for awhile. It might be less XP but I could use the gems for crafting also. If anyone else has any idea's I'm open for them. Thanks so far for the ones who responded. :D

I know how you feel. As you can see I'm so close to 99 thieving but it gets so boring doing pyramid plunder.

 

What I've been doing is alternating between the pyramid and the sorceress garden for summer squirks. That kinda helped with the boredom abit. Good luck with your training.

If it bores you, don't get it...and i'm being serious. If you want the cape for respect, your playing the game for the wrong reasons, if you want the cape for the achievement and goal, then i suggest you try finding a pp world and racing the people on there. Find a partner, listen to music (May i suggest Playlist.com because you can browse other people's playlists that they've made, its amazing what kind of music there are out there), you can still watch videos, just find a routine and "Restore Down" your windows, and put them side by side.

 

 

 

Other than that, forsakemage chat...uhm, i always found eating and playing helps, like grapes which you can slowly eat.... Or pistachios, or something that consumes your mind.

The skill it self doesn't bore me. I enjoy thieving. And I want the cape as my next achievement, I have Wcing and Fletching 2 pretty easy skills to get that everyone seams to have. I wanted a more challenging goal this time, I'm just getting bored with PP because you have to keep paying attention to everything your doing if you want the best XP out of the game. I hate racing against a clock. Like I said I enjoy talking but I lose XP when I do that. And I am very aware of playlist.com I have been listening to allot of music while doing it. I have joined PP worlds but I don't like them very much because the doors change to fast. I keep getting fed up when I opened all of the doors and didn't get to the next room because it had changed in that time. That's a big waste of time when that happens, and I lose XP that way.

 

 

 

I just wanted to know if there was another way to do it with out getting bored. Since everyone seams to use PP to get 99 thieving.
