THIEVING

Thieving is one of my favorite skills. It is basically about obtaining money and items through a variety of ways including pickpockting, chest looting, and stall robbing.
My guide will show you some very effective ways to raise this level and show you how this skill helps many of other skills.

Pickpocketing

To Pickpocket an NPC, just right click it and select "Pickpocket". Sometimes, The NPC will catch you and damage you depending on their level and you will be stunned and unable to move for about 4 seconds. The higher your thieving level, the less chance you will get caught.

Stall Robbing

Most Market Stalls are in Ardounge's Square. To Rob the Stall, Right Click and select "Steal From". Sometimes, If a market guard is watching nearby, You will be unsuccessful and be attacked by the guard which could be a guard, knight,hero, or paladin. Or If you are standing near the stall owner, you will just be yelled at. The Higher the level of the stall, the more people can attack you. Example, Only Guards can attack while you are thieving the bakery stall, However If you thieve the gem stall, Heroes, Knights and everything else may attack.

Chest Looting
 
Chest Looting is a great way to make money, however it is rather boring. To theive a chest, you must first right click and select "search for traps". If you just open the chest, you will activate the trap and will be hit hard. Depending on the level of the chest, It will have to respawn.

Lock Picking
 
You need to pick a lock to access alot of chests in runescape. For some locks, you need to be carrying a lockpick which can be aquired by theiving rogues in level 55 wilderness until you get one. To Picklock a door, right click and select " Pick Lock Door" and you will either fail or be successful depending on your thieving level.
