Thieving

Thieving 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%.

Mechanics

Stealth and Perception

Simply put, stealth is a measure of how good the player is at stealing, while perception is a measure of how difficult an 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.

The player's stealth, the NPC's perception, and the resulting success rate, doubling chance and unique item chance can be viewed in game by first selecting an NPC and then hovering over the

icon.

Stealth can be maximised as follows:

Success Rate

The chance of success is [math]\displaystyle{ 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.

Item Doubling

The additional chance to double items due to stealth is [math]\displaystyle{ 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 Thieving specific and global sources (up to a maximum of 100%), and multiplicative with the 35% chance of quadruple items from the

and

Devil

synergy, for a potential 8x multiplier to items received from Thieving.

The item multiplier applies to all possible item drops, being: NPC common drops, general rare drops, NPC unique drops, and area unique drops.

NPC Unique Item Chance

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

Loot

- See also Combat#Loot and Rewards

Successfully pickpocketing an NPC will always award the player with GP between the minimum and maximum of that NPC. There is also a 75% chance to receive an item at random from the NPC's common drops, provided the NPC has any possible common drops at all.

In addition, each successful pickpocket attempt will also have a chance to reward the player with the NPC's unique drop (should they have one), the area's unique drop, and all of the following general rare items:

or higher.

Into the Abyss rares can only drop from Abyssal Realm NPCs.

The chance of acquiring area unique drops is [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{1}{500} }[/math] or 0.20% per item, while the chance of acquiring an NPC's unique drop is dependent on the player's stealth and the NPC's perception (see: NPC Unique Item Chance).

It is possible to receive common drops along with any (or even all) rare or unique drops 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.

The various ways in which loot can be multiplied are detailed within the Item Doubling section.

GP gained can be increased by the following bonuses. In addition, the 50% Mastery pool checkpoint increases GP gained by 100%. Note that any flat bonuses (such as that provided by Gloves of Silence) are increased by any percentage bonuses that are active.

Further, the loot and GP gained can be modified in various ways by

synergies, see Leprechaun for a list of each synergy.

Failure

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 provided by Equipment, Pets and

. Damage taken while Thieving is potentially lethal, although this damage can be offset by consuming food manually, or automatically with the Auto Eat upgrade. Specifically for

Areas

The chance of obtaining each area unique drop following a successful pickpocket is [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{1}{500} }[/math] or 0.20%. Each area unique drop is rolled separately, so it is possible to receive multiple area unique drops from a single action. The chance of obtaining area unique drops is tripled when the 95% Thieving Mastery Pool checkpoint is active.
