Is it just me, or you have WAY FAR better results while pickpocketing the npc's from behind??

 

I've had up to 15-20 non failing streaks when they're giving me their back, and for sure I haven't gone with the same luck while pickpocketing "face to face".

 

 

 

If other users can support this, maybe you should just add a small comment suggesting this in the guide.

I think you may be getting lucky streaks coincidentally, but I'll leave it open for others to comment. :)

It's just luck, there's no line of sight when it comes to thieving.

 

Personally, I prefer staring my knight in the face while I deftly reach my hands into it's metal pockets and take the money out.

WOAH~!!! misplaced me!!! i thought u quit tip.it? or was that from tet and runescape? lol

 

 

 

anyway OT: i agree as well, i say its coincidence because when i pickpocketed, i pretty much got around the same results whether the npc was facing towards or away from me

Yeah, we looked into several things like this a few years ago, with no provable results.

 

 

 

If you wanted to try several hundred picks from the front, and several hundred from the back, and record your success rate, I would be happy to look over the data. As you can see, changing something significant on the website requires some heavy in-game research to confirm it.

 

 

 

However, your post is appreciated, I can understand wanting to get more specifics on pickpocketing as it's such a weird skill, lol.

 

 

 

Please do post a topic in the future if you do a bunch of research, it's always welcome.
