Thieving: Difference between revisions

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.
