OSRS Thieving training guide
Pickpockets and steals. One of the strongest low-requirement money makers in the game.
About Thieving
Thieving is unusual among support skills in that it makes real money at almost every level. Ardougne knights, master farmers and vyres all produce steady income.
It also unlocks blackjacking, chest looting and the ability to pickpocket elves, which is among the better GP-per-hour activities available to a mid-level account.
Fastest training
Rates assume an attentive player with the gear and unlocks that make each method work. Real sessions include banking, breaks and mistakes.
Blackjacking bandits or menaphite thugs
The fastest Thieving experience in the game, but it is demanding and requires the Feud quest.
Ardougne knights
Simple, safe and profitable. The standard choice for players who want money alongside the level.
Pyramid Plunder
Good experience and a chance at the pharaoh's sceptre.
