Was looking at the thieving guide and it says that theiving from gem stalls only gets you 16xp every 3 minutes? Any idea why they would make it so low for the highest level required stall?

I have no idea, I hate it though :roll: I created a very popular rant about this in the Runescape Official Forums a while back, but it was eaten by the page 51 monster and Jagex never said anything about it :roll:

maybe because the reward is so high?

I actually never bothered myself with the exp from gem stall. :P Only reason i would steal from it is for free uncut gems.

I dont know, but I always steal whenever I tele to Ardounge, it adds up. Picking safes in rouges den is a much better source of gems though, as there is no spawn time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thieving is a skill that need an overhaul, to make some of the higher level npc's (and gem stall!) give reasonable amount of exp per hour.

Although the exp is still terrible.. I always like to steal from the Gem Stall while I'm alching :)

I dont get it either, if you steal from the safes in rogues den you get tons of uncut gems and the xp is much faster.
