This is the Regular Thieving Guide, the guide for Ironman/ Hardcore Ironman players is found Here.

Thieving is a skill which allows players to obtain coins and items by stealing from market stalls or by pickpocketing NPC's. It is a great skill for starting off an account, as you will earn a lot of money very quickly.

Experience Tables

Stalls

You can find a majority of the Stalls in Grinderscape in Ardougne.

Stall	Stall Picture	Location	Level Needed	Reward	XP
Baker Stall		Ardougne	1	14k GP, Bread, Cake, Chocolate Cake Slice	1,500

Pickpocketing

Pickpocketing is the act of stealing from anothers pocket. This results in little gold, but very high experience. The downside to Pickpocketing, is that you have a chance to get caught, which will cause the player to take damage and be stunned for a while. This puts Pickpocketing and stealing from Stalls at roughly the same experience per hour. Most NPCs can be found walking around in the Ardougne area, the others all around Runescape.

NPC	NPC Picture	Location	Level Needed	Reward	XP

Al Kharid Warrior		Al Kharid	25	Random GP	3,900
Guard		Falador	40	Random GP	7,050
Paladin		Ardougne	70	Random GP	22,800
Hero		Ardougne	90	Random GP	40,950

Chief Thief Robin Training (Fastest Experience)

The fastest way to get to 99 thieving would be by stealing from the stall used in Chief Thief Robins Training. This will also gain you a lot of money at the same time.

At the Market Place at Edgeville you may notice an NPC named "Chief Thief Robin" if you talk to him he tells you he's looking for a talented thief. Then you have to pick-pocket him until you get a key. What this does is unlocks another stall for players to steal from. This stall is different to all other stalls, because it can be upgraded giving more experience as you go.

To upgrade the stalls all you need to do is thieve from it until you find a statuette, once you have one hand it over to Chief Thief Robin, and he will upgrade the stall for you.

Once you've upgraded the stall all the way to the Crossbow Stall, you will complete a task which gives you "Double Eyepatch" which improves cash rewards from thieving by 10%.

Below is a table which shows you information about the stalls.

Stall	Statuette to Upgrade	Reward	XP
Bakery Stall	Stone Statuette	7.5k GP, Cake, Chocolate Cake	3,750
Crafting Stall	Pottery Statuette	15k GP, All kinds of Hides, Black D'hide Body	6,000
Clothes Stall	Golden Statuette	30k GP, Silks, Villager Outfit, Ham Clothing, Elidnis Robes, Druidic Robes, Shoes, Torn Robes	12,000
Silver Stall	Jewelled Golden Statuette	40k GP, Silver Ore, Holy Symbol, Unholy Symbol, Dragon Pickaxe (Rare)	24,000
Gem Stall	Jewelled Diamond Statuette	50k GP, Uncut Gems (from Opal - Onyx)	27,000

The Skill Cape

If you reach level 99 in Thieving, you can talk to the Wise Old Man at home to obtain the Skill cape. He is located at home, in the building north of the bank.

The 99 cape costs 150K Gp and comes with a matching hood. Both the Thieving cape and hood give +9 bonus to all defense stats.

If you reach 350m experience in the Thieving skill you will also unlock the ability to buy the Master Thieving Cape. It is exactly the same as the normal Skill cape. However, you can adjust the trim colour to whatever you like. This cape costs 2.5m Gp.
