Thieving

From Runescape - Wiki on Neoseeker

Introduction

Thieving can be a very versatile skill and is definitely one of the most original. It can be used almost everywhere and though it is an annoyance to shop owners, it is definitely a benefit to us. We can thieve stuff from sharks to seeds, clue scrolls to bread. We can even thieve a cow bell off of a cow!

One of Thievings greatest benefits is in quests. Quite a few of Runescapes many quests have tricky parts to it in which a good thieving level can benefit greatly. It is quite frustrating to fail at pickpocketing multiple times, so a higher level always helps!

There are many ways to train thieving. You can pickpocket NPCs all over Runescape, thieve from stalls in the marketplace of Ardougne, and try to break open chests to plunder the hearty loot inside. You can also plunder a pharaoh’s riches in the minigame Pyramid Plunder!

Pickpocketing

Pickpocketing is a very fast way of experience at lower levels. You can find your first victims right in Lumbridge itself! To pickpocket a NPC, right click on it and select “Pickpocket” If you succeed, you will be rewarded with the loot in the NPCs pocket. If you are unfortunately caught, you will be stunned for a few seconds and be dealt a small amount of damage

The higher your thieving is, the least likely you will be caught. At 54 hunter, you can wield Gloves of Silence which decreases the chances of being caught. However, the gloves will disintegrate after a certain number of pickpockets.

There are motleys of NPCs in the land of Runescape:

Stalls

Stealing from stalls is a good way to train thieving, it's very fast and you can get some good items from it. However, when stealing from stalls, you must watch out for the shop owner and guards and paladins that patrol around the area. If the shop owner catches you, nothing will happen, but if a guard or paladin sees you you will be attacked. One of the most popular places to steal from stalls is in Ardougne Marketplace. Here is a table of all the stalls and shops you can steal from in RuneScape:
