Thieving: Difference between revisions

{{V|0.22.1}}

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is used to pickpocket [[GP]] and items. Some items obtainable from Thieving are unique to the skill and cannot be found elsewhere. Many of these unique items are [[Equipment]] which provide bonuses to Thieving and other non-combat skills. Each Thieving attempt takes a base 3 seconds, and can be reduced as low as 1.8 seconds.

Thieving can be done with [[Offline Progression]], although the player must do so with caution as it is possible to die if the player's success rate against the NPC is below 100%.

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:

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]], which is provided by [[Equipment]], [[Pets]], the {{ItemIcon|Yak|Yak Familiar}}, [[Damage Reduction Potion|Damage Reduction Potions]], and the prayers {{PrayerIcon|Safeguard}} 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. For {{Icon|type=thieving|Chef}} specifically, the {{ItemIcon|Pig}} and {{ItemIcon|Leprechaun}} [[Summoning#Synergies|synergy]] can be used to completely negate damage from failed attempts. For those eating manually, {{PrayerIcon|Protect Item}} can be used as a safety net. Damage dealt by failed thieving attempts does not currently count as an Enemy Attack for the purposes of expending prayer points or potion charges, yet they still provide their respective DR or item protection effects. This is not the case for the newer Yak summoning tablets however, which are expended on every damaging failure, implying this may be a bug or developer oversight. However, while Yak does apply DR while thieving, and consumes a tablet each failure hit, {{ItemIcon|Centaur}}, {{ItemIcon|Witch}}, and {{ItemIcon|Minotaur}} synergies do not apply or expend, as you are not fighting a ranged, melee, or magic enemy.

The [[Pets|pet]] can be unlocked by doing any Thieving action.

The {{ItemIcon|Gentle Hands Potion I|Gentle Hands Potion}} increases stealth. It can be made with {{SkillReq|Herblore|45}} using {{ItemIcon|Lemontyle Herb|qty=1}} and {{ItemIcon|Strawberry Seeds|qty=2}}.
