The release of the Gloves of Silence got me interested in thieving a bit. Based on timing (and messages from others), if you constantly thieve an NPC you'll discover you steal every 1.5 seconds and are stunned for 5.5 seconds when caught. With that, I made a chart that'll tell you your PEAK experience per hour so long as you know your success rate of the NPC you're thieving.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How to Use the Chart: Multiply the NPC's experience by the Multiple of your success rate. Does not take into account random events, chasing the NPC, or other minutia.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scs% - Multiple

 

 

 

00% - 0

 

 

 

05% - 34

 

 

 

10% - 71

 

 

 

15% - 110

 

 

 

20% - 153

 

 

 

25% - 200

 

 

 

30% - 251

 

 

 

35% - 307

 

 

 

40% - 369

 

 

 

45% - 438

 

 

 

50% - 514

 

 

 

55% - 600

 

 

 

60% - 697

 

 

 

65% - 807

 

 

 

70% - 933

 

 

 

75% - 1080

 

 

 

80% - 1252

 

 

 

85% - 1457

 

 

 

90% - 1705

 

 

 

95% - 2012

 

 

 

100% - 2400

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ex: I'm 77 Thieving, I tested out 5 minutes at the following

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Man (90%) - 8xp * 1705 = 13,640xp per hour

 

 

 

Farmer (85%) - 14.5xp * 1457 = 21,126xp per hour

 

 

 

Knights (75%) - 84.3xp * 1080 = 91,044xp per hour

 

 

 

Paladins (50%) - 151.8xp * 514 = 78025xp per hour

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

None were done using Gloves of Silence or bandits brew

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you'd like, players can submit their success rates. To submit, thieve successfully 1000 times and keep track how many times you failed. Submit as

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thieving Level, Glove Used, NPC, 1000 success, xxx failures

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With 1000 successes, it takes away more of the randomness. Easiest to use on NPC's that give cash reward as you just wait till you have 1k times his reward or 2k chaos runes in case of Paladins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

~~Knights~~

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lvl 77 (w/ gloves) - 500 success, 120 fails : 81%

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

~~Paladins~~

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lvl 77 (w/ gloves) - 100 success, 105 fails : 49%

Pretty interesting, I'd like to study this a bit more myself. :)

errr hmm 1000 tries err i pass at the moment thank you :D

gloves of silence are pretty useless. I have 98 thieving, going for 99, and took valuable time out to get level 53(?), hunting to enable me to wear the gloves. Can`t say I noticed any difference in theving and very quickly they wore out. Tried another pair since, but same results. Just go without and save you`re time and money.

its so repetitive if it wasn't i would be doing it atm

ask theblazikenmaster on TIF. He's a master thiever :)

an *cough* me... :oops:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

actually, dork and tripsis and someone else are 99, i'd contact them first. Anyway, there's not much to ask is there? Anyway, my hunter lvl is to nooby to use them, so i'll stick to pyramid plunder :o

~100k seems like a pretty accurate match for Knights. Back when I was doing 91-93, if I wasn't distracted, I could get that much, but with difficulty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The paladin number seems a bit high, however.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(99 thieving here.)

The gloves of silence are practically the most useless crap ever invented for thieving. There's simply no difference even if you wear 1 or not and wears off before you know it. I wasted my time getting 54 hunting for the gloves

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ask theblazikenmaster on TIF. He's a master thiever :)

Another better word for him is: He's a master pickpocketer since he got 90+ thieving without pyramid plunder =D>

The point of the post was not about Gloves of Silence. That was the initiating factor for me to recalculate this chart as the one I submitted to RuneHQ way back when was wrong.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For thieving, I trap them into one spot and QUICKLY thieve them even when I'm stunned. It's hell on your mouse, so best to set up your keyboard "5" key to act as your mouse button.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for Paladins, I only did it for 5 minutes, so my percentage is probably more than a tad off.

Cool, but they don't really effect it when I thieve. I may have to record 1k sucesses with and without the gloves.

Aww I'm mentioned :lol: :oops:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, interesting table you have there. Pickpocketing really isn't the thing for me though, it kills my hand :shock:

I did 100 successes on Paladins and 500 successes on Knights using gloves. Knights took about 26 minutes, even with having to regain him after he disappears.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Getting 1k successes on Paladins looks like it'll take 100 monkfish worth of food. Pretty tedious as there's few spots to "freeze" the Paladin.

I'm 74, and I'm becoming more accustomed to Paladins now. Knights are great xp, but the huge amount of chaos runes makes the Paladins too appealing for me to resist.

nice work there, max xp per hour for every thing now? pyramid plunder aswell. all stalls chest ect could be very useful for all theivers out there... coul collect info from higher lvl theifs 2 :-k

I know this is going off-topic here, but I still think Pyramid Plunder is the best for thieving exp. :anxious:

good information, too bad i'm already 99 thieving :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but yeah umega is right pp is still way out in front however I am impressed with your success rate on paladins with 77 thieiving and the gloves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

would be good to see this explored a bit more.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have fun folks

The best by far is by using black jacks which is 200k + exp per hour.

How?

I prefer black jacks over anything else, but I haven't tried pyramid plunder yet.

Elishot (#2 thiever) says he gets 200K xp an hour from knights and his gloves never fail anymore.

is it just me or do the gloves dissapear? :uhh: i got 2 gloves pairs left..

Hello \

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All I know is that the gloves do not work at pyramid plunder. Seeing as I regard all other methods of training thieving as obsolete I cannot comment on the gloves' affect on pickpocketing. :oops:

Well I gave it go for one hour at the knights and counted the gp I got at the end to figure out how many picks I had got. (I have 85 thieving)

 

 

 

Didn't do it to maximum efficiency (lost internet connection for a couple of minutes, comp crashed, chased knight around market for 10-15 minutes for diversity)

 

 

 

However.... I got 60k coins or 1200 picks.

 

 

 

Thats 100k xp an hour and I only used up 4 gloves and about 2 full inventories of monkfish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was surpised that its way better than pyramid plunder where I get around 70k to 80k per hr.

 

 

 

Too bad its tiring, but I enjoy it more than pyramid plunder.

 

 

 

I find pyramid plunder to be expensive on supplies and tedious as I forget to check things and then realize as I click on the door out or as clock runs out on me before I finish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My personal favorite is picking safes though.

 

 

 

Too bad its only like 40-50k xp an hr.

 

 

 

The gems you get are really nice.

I was surpised that its way better than pyramid plunder where I get around 70k to 80k per hr.

 

 

 

At 85 thieving you should be getting 160k or so xp per hour, try reading my guide (link in sig) to see where you're going wrong o.O
