I've been doing a bit of theiving recently, I looked at many guides and I never found an answer. If your in the know please post and save me the effort of running round an npc everytime it moves :D

i usually theive form the back i htink it does matter if you thieve form them in the fornt and dont move..I usually get cuaght when doing this..

I think i'm going to have to query jagex, if anyone knows the answer it will be them :)

 

 

 

Edit - Queries seem to be down at the moment, all I get is a white screen?

No, it doesn't. It's just as easy no matter what. I've noticed the only thing that really matters is how heavy of stuff you have in your inventory/what you're wearing.

Ok I sent a query, asking about how weight and the direction of the NPC affects chances of a successful pcik pocket. Thanks for the idea about weight koddo :D

Don't send a query when you can find it in their Knowledge Database Thieving FAQ

You shouldn't use query, it takes long time, and you can't always trust them. They once said no monster drops Rune Two-Handed Sword but I'm very sure steel dragons and black demons do.

 

 

 

Posting here is better idea.

 

 

 

It doesn't matter if you steal from behind them, your rate of success is still the same.

Click the link I posted somebody.

Thanks for the link, I never knew HAM clothing helped or that you could stun people with blackjacks. I like wearing Rogues armour when thieving though, makes me more "lucky"

Ah..... I didn't look in the FAQ, just in the bit on pick-pocketing. Jagex wont be happy bunnies :roll:
