Vyrewatch Sentinels
Pickpocket Vyrewatch Sentinels in Darkmeyer for blood shards and a steady coin income.
Vyres are the highest-paying pickpocketing target in the game, and the reason is a single item. Blood shards are worth a great deal on their own and they drop often enough to dominate the rate entirely.
Between shards the coins and the ordinary loot are unremarkable, so this is a method judged over hours rather than over one trip.
Sins of the Father is the gate, and it is a master quest sitting at the end of the Myreque line. Nobody arrives here by accident.
The rogue outfit and the dodgy necklaces both apply and both matter. As with all high-level Thieving, the failure rate is the enemy and anything that reduces it pays for itself.
What you actually do
- 1Complete Sins of the Father, then travel to Darkmeyer.
- 2Pickpocket Vyres, using dodgy necklaces to avoid stuns.
- 3Bank the blood shards and coins when full.
Getting the most from it
- Blood shards are the rare drop that makes this method's rate, and they are worth a great deal.
- It needs Sins of the Father completed, which is a Master quest — this is not an early method.
- The rogue outfit and Ardougne diary bonuses both apply and both matter.
