Thieving Aura

[Squakus]

I intend to train thieving by alternating pickpocketing elves (for triskelion parts) and pyramid plunder.

 

For the elves bit, I use ardougne cloak 3 and gloves of silence, yet have a very high fail rate. Would the thieving aura be worth getting, and if yes, up to which tier? I have around 75k points but would like to keep ~20k in reserve for the loyalty shop update.

 

I already have the useful combat auras (penance, reverence, vampirism) and if I get back into herb farming I will also get greenfingers, so the points are just sitting around.

 

I know I could do mkf, but it requires a lot more clicking than either pp or elves, so I would strongly prefer not to. I also do not want to use only pp because I personally hate it and cannot do more than 3 rounds before getting sick of it.

 

Would it also be worth using familiar scrolls to boost thieving? How much of a percentage boost to success would it give, and what would be the additional cost per hour?

 

Thanks in advance.

Do traders instead of elves

 

Buy the highest aura you can

 

You'll probably want to use a lurker

 

Idk how much more xp/hour you'll get using a lurker

Additional thieving levels have diminishing returns in my experience. Dwarf traders at 90 without lurker or aura (using gloves of silence and ardy 3) was 150 k exp/hr for me. With the lurker boost it was much closer to 200 and much more relaxing than other thieving training methods IMO.
