Thieving: Difference between revisions

{{V|0.22.1}}

Simply put, stealth is a measure of how good the player is at stealing, while perception is a measure of how difficult an [[#Thieving Target|NPC]] is to steal from - The player's stealth competes against an NPC's perception. It is usually preferable to maximise stealth as this increases the success rate, chance to double items, and the chance to receive an NPC's unique item. An NPC's perception is fixed and cannot be reduced.

Stealth can be maximised as follows:

The chance of success is <math>100 \times \tfrac{100 + \text{Stealth}}{100 + \text{Perception}}\%</math>, resulting in a guaranteed success once the player's stealth is the same or greater than the NPC's perception. Some NPCs have a perception that is greater than the maximum possible stealth, therefore it is not always possible to guarantee each pickpocket attempt will succeed.

The additional chance to double items due to stealth is <math>25 \times \tfrac{\text{Stealth}}{\text{Perception}}\%</math>, double items can therefore be guaranteed from stealth alone if the player's stealth is at least four times the NPC's perception. This is additive with the chance to double items provided by other [[#Skill Boosts|Thieving specific]] and [[Double Loot|global]] sources (up to a maximum of 100%), and multiplicative with the 35% chance of quadruple items from the {{ItemIcon|Leprechaun}} and {{ItemIcon|Devil}} [[Summoning#Synergies|synergy]], for a potential 8x multiplier to items received from Thieving.

The chance to receive an NPC's unique item upon a successful pickpocket attempt is <math>\tfrac{100 + \text{Stealth}}{100 \times \text{Perception}}\%</math>.

It is possible to receive common drops along with any (or even all) rare or unique drop all from the same action. The chance to double items is only rolled once per action, therefore if the quantity of items received is multiplied the number of rare items received will also be increased. Even if the NPC has no common drops, any rare or unique drops can still be multiplied.

GP gained can be increased by the following bonuses. In addition, the 50% [[#Mastery Pool Checkpoints|Mastery pool checkpoint]] increases GP gained by 100%. Note that any flat bonuses (such as that provided by {{ItemIcon|Gloves of Silence}}) are increased by any percentage bonuses that are active.

Failed pickpocket attempts will stun the player for 3 seconds and deal damage to them up to the target's Max Hit; damage dealt this way can be reduced by any [[Damage Reduction|damage reduction]] provided by [[Equipment]], [[Pets]] and {{PrayerIcon|Stone Skin}}. Damage taken while Thieving is potentially lethal, although this damage can be offset by consuming [[food]] manually, or automatically with the [[Shop#Auto_Eat|Auto Eat]] upgrade. Specifically for {{Icon|type=thieving|Chef}}, the {{ItemIcon|Pig}} and {{ItemIcon|Leprechaun}} [[Summoning#Synergies|synergy]] can be used to completely negate damage from failed attempts.
