Stealing
Pickpockets, brigands and thieves often prefer to live life in the shadows of Britannia, stealthily earning a living off the pockets and chests of others. A skilled thief can steal from monsters, chests, NPCs and other players.
Training
- 0 - 30: Train at NPC Thief
You will need a pack animal (Pack Horse, Pack Llama, or Giant Beetle) and a stack of items. Any items will do such as Empty Bottles, Wood, Leather, or Gold. Just as long as the stack weighs 12 stones or more. Stealing can only be trained on the Felucca facet. Make sure you tell the pack animal to guard you if you train inside the guard zone!
To train, place the specified weight of items on the pack animal and attempt to steal them. No matter whether you fail, succeed, or only steal part of the pile, take the remaining items and restack them. Pull out a new stack of the appropriate weight and put it on the pack animal. Steal again.

Joining the Thieves Guild
In order to steal from other players you need to join the thieves guild. To do this you must find a thief guild master. Once you find him/her you can join by saying: "(NPC Name) join". They will ask you for 500 gold pieces. Drag 500 gold pieces onto them and you will join provided you meet the critera:
- Character is at least 48 in-game hours old; and
- Has at least 60 in stealing
Note: Players in the thieves guild cannot give murder counts and are freely lootable.
Disguise Kit
Thieves in the thieves guild can buy a disguise kit. To get one you must find a thief guild master and say: "(NPC Name) buy disguise kit". The kit will cost 700 gold pieces which you can drag onto them.
