For beginners, the method with the least amount of required skills for its maximum rate is the Fishing method. The Skill requirements listed in each method are the minimum required, and you will often struggle to reach the maximum rates without higher levels in the respective skills for things like Skillcapes, or the ability to make boosts from other Skills.

Thieving Princess and Fletching Jadebolts (24,740k/hr max)

Requirements

  • Mining Level 15
  • Smithing Level 10
  • Thieving Level 92
  • Fletching Level 95

Improves GP Rate

These boosts are in addition to the ones above and are specifically for this method.

Name Effect
Level 99 +100% GP from Princess
+174 Stealth vs Princess
Fletching Skillcape (Fletching Level 99) Doubles items received from Fletching
Leprechaun+ Devil (Summoning Level 90) +50 Flat GP from Thieving
50% Chance for 2x GP
35% Chance for 4x Items
15% Chance for nothing
Crown of Rhaelyx and its Charge Stones +25% Resource Preservation
Agility Obstacles providing Resource Preservation

Method

  1. Steal Jadestones from the Princess
  2. Mine Iron Ore
  3. Smith Iron Bars
  4. Forge Headless Bolts
  5. Fletch Jadestone Bolts
  6. Sell common drops. Use Item Alchemy III along with any available GP boosts on drops worth more than 15,000GP

Thieving is not better than the Dragon Javelin method by default. Both methods heavily depend on the buffs from items, passives, and skills. The most important boosts for this method are all buffs to Stealth and Thieving Interval Reductions. Although princess is unlocked at level 92, it likely will take until level 99 for the Thieving Skillcape and the 95% mastery pool bonus to have sufficient stealth bonuses for a high thieving success rate. Once Princess is survivable, the next most important boost is the Leprechaun+ Devil synergy to increase the number of Jadestones gathered.

High resource preservation and item doubling during Fletching is very beneficial. Using Crown of Rhaelyx and its Charge Stones is strongly recommended here. Without most of the buffs, earnings can be as low as 4,000,000GP per hour.

With the Throne of the Herald expansion, the items Grappling Hook and Thieving Shorts are available at level 100 from the Explorer which provide substantial buffs for this method.

With the Atlas of Discovery expansion, Bandit Hideout point of interest in Cartography provides several useful buffs to this method.

Thieving Knight with Leprechaun + Monkey Synergy (16,476k/hr max)

This is in alternative method requiring fewer skills and boosts to get viable results.

Requirements

Improves GP Rate

These boosts are in addition to the ones above and are specifically for this method.

Name Effect
Level 99 +100% GP from Knight
+174 Stealth vs Knight

Method

This method relies on the increased sell values of common drops from the Leprechaun+ Monkey synergy: "Upon receiving a Common Drop from Thieving, automatically sell it for 1500% of its base sale price." Although knight is unlocked at level 88, it likely will take until level 99 for the Thieving Skillcape and the 95% mastery pool bonus to have sufficient stealth bonuses for a high thieving success rate.

  1. Craft Leprechaun and Monkey Tablets and equip them
  2. Steal from the Knight
  3. Sell all unsold drops. Use Item Alchemy III along with any available GP boosts on drops worth more than 10,000GP

Without most of the buffs, earnings can be lower than 5,000,000GP per hour. If you are lacking in stealth for a high success rate on Knight, the Leprechaun+ Monkey synergy may be more effective on the Fisherman.
