Crime Training

Crime training guide (low → high)

This page provides a step-by-step training progression for the Crime skill, focusing primarily on pickpocketing NPCs and lockpicking chests. Generally, you should try to do the highest level content available at your current level. For general information about the Crime skill, see the main Crime page.

Equipment

• Bandit Mask – +1 Crime, improves pickpocket and lockpicking success.
• Black Leather Gloves – +1 Crime (plus Strength and Defense).

Levels 1–10: Pickpocketing Men

• Level 1: Man – 10 XP per success.

Note: You can pickpocket the Man outside of Anglham Castle to be right next to the spawn point. This means you can train without worrying about dying or eating food. Reminder - you keep 3 items on death and each coin counts as an item.

Level 35+: Lockpicking Deluxe Chests

• Deluxe Coin Chest (example locations: Ictirine Jail, Dragonsmoke Island) – 150 XP and 50 coins each; respawn ~180 ticks (~108 s).
• Rotating between chests is the most efficient method for XP per hour and coin income.
