Elf pickpocketing
Pickpocket elves in Prifddinas for enhanced crystal teleport seeds and a large, consistent coin income.
Prifddinas elves are the endgame Thieving target: excellent experience and a drop table that includes crystal shards, which feed directly into crystal tools and armour.
The shards are what make this profitable. Everything else on the table is filler, and the value of a shard depends partly on whether you need them yourself.
Song of the Elves is a grandmaster quest with a long list of requirements behind it. This is a method for an established account, not a route to one.
The bank is close and there is no danger at all, which makes this an easy thing to sustain for long sessions once you are here.

Getting the most from it

- Song of the Elves is a grandmaster quest with heavy requirements, so this sits behind a long project.
