Thieving Guide

[Arkaios]

Corrections

 

- In the Pickpocket zone, there are mistakes in Farmer and Master Farmer slots: "Seed Steals" instead of "Seed Stalls".

- In "comments on other NPCs": Chaos runes are no longer 140gp ea, not even 100+, but 50, so paladins aren`t such a good way anymore.

 

Suggestion

 

- To change the Pyramide Plunder activity`s efficiency to "one of the best".

- To add Thieving Guild`s pickpocketing from level 55 as a good suggestion and the best way to do 85-99.

- To add Thieving Guild`s pickpocketing as a good way to train for skillers, as it doesn`t hurt much.

Hi there,

 

Thank you for your submission, and welcome to Tip.It! :grin:

I've made some of the changes you suggested and credited you - but since I'm not so sure about the Thieving Guild as the best method I've left that out for now.

 

You're more than welcome to add why you believe it is the best, however.

 

Thanks,

Hello!

 

Found that Master Farmer seeds still aren`t available to be sold to "Seed Steals" for a certain amount of time. Suppose it wasn`t noticed...

It's possible that you looked at the page before the changes became live, but this has been fixed.

Still, I'm quite curious as to why the Thieves Guild would be the best method of training thieving before I change that in the guide. ;)

Reasons I believe Thieving Guild is one of the best methods or even THE best.

- You can do it all along training Thieving as it does not require a thieving level higher than 1.

- Every successful pick grants 60 XP (which, thinking it`s level 1, is very high, higher than many higher levelled options of pickpocketing.

- Although there is no loot, you can change the Hanky Points you get for Thieving XP once per week, more points per week the higher Thieving level one has.

- Thieving trainers hit you rarely and even then, the damage is just 1.

- Risk-free (unlike pyramide plunder and most high level pickpocketing)

- Stress-free (no dieing, no worrying about food, poisoning, no difficulty, people killing your targets etc.)

 

Reasons why I´d suggest this as best method to get to 99 (from level 70-75)

- From level 85 (or around there) pickpocketing trainers hardly EVER catch you so you can get 200K+ xp/h (according to how my friend informated me), which is, again, much higher than regular methods of training.

Im not too sure on the EXP rate per hour as I heard rumour Jagex nerfed it as it was a astonishing amount of exp (and ALOT of focus grinding) at lower levels, but most people stick to Pyramid Plunder at 61+ as not only is it just as fast, but you can also get rewards such as the Pharohs' Sceptre which I think is 900k or something last I checked. Few of those and its alot better then zero rewards.
