Palomas Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 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. Runescape user: GUALAS MEXICO !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I think you may be getting lucky streaks coincidentally, but I'll leave it open for others to comment. :) Want to help the Tip.It Crew? Visit the Website Updates & Corrections forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPM Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 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. ~M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokemama Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 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. it's a lot easier to get over yourself when you look at intelligence the same way you look at beauty, or height, or eye color: being smart is easy, but being good is hard ... being smart is handed to you, being good is handed to *nobody*.
