You can enhance your [[Crime]] training by casting [[Aurum Majora]] or [[Aurum Minor|Minor]] while pickpocketing. Although this costs 1 [[Ticks|tick]] of pickpocketing time, it allows you to cast two Aurum spells, earning additional [[Magic]] [[experience]] and converting unwanted items into [[Coins]]. You can cast Aurum spells while stunned, which, in addition to eating food, are some of the only actions you can take in that state.

It is recommended to use an alternate account to lure a target by either talking to or attacking them, where possible. Simply using the "Talk-To" option and keeping the message box open will freeze the NPC. If attacking them, in certain locations, the alternate account can be placed in a safe spot while maintaining combat with the NPC. You can draw aggression without actually attacking them (such as over a fence or wall).

With high enough defence, you can also attack an NPC yourself to prevent wandering. Turning off auto-retaliate will keep the NPC attacking you while they are pickpocketed. This appears to have no effect on pickpocketing success rates.

Both methods ultimately stop the NPC from moving, which maximises xp rates by eliminating wasted ticks while following them between pickpockets, and simplifies clicking.
