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. To steal from other players, one must join the Thieves Guild.

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.

  • 30 - 40: 3 stones
  • 40 - 50: 4 stones
  • 50 - 60: 5 stones
  • 60 - 70: 6 stones
  • 70 - 80: 7 stones
  • 80 - 90: 8 stones
  • 90 - 100: 9 stones
  • 100 - 110: 10 stones
  • 110 - 120: 11 stones

Joining the Thieves Guild

In order to steal from other players, a character must join the Thieves Guild. To do this, one must find a Thief Guild Master, which are found in random locations in most towns. Once located, a character can join the guild by saying: "(NPC Name) join". If the character is at least 48 in-game house old and has at least 60 Stealing skill, 500 gold pieces will be requested as payment to join. The payment must then be dragged onto them to complete the joining process. If the character has not met the skill and age requirements, they will be refused membership in the Thieves Guild until they meet the requirements. Being a member of the Thieves Guild also allows a player to buy and use a disguise kit.

Note: Players in the Thieves Guild cannot give murder counts and are freely lootable if killed.
