Equipment

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

Equipment adds invisible crime levels that increases your chances of pickpocketing. It does not effect lockpicking.

• 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 until you die and repeat. Do not bring any items with you (you will only keep 3).

Tips

Making NPCs stuck during pickpocketing

• If you use an alt to talk to the NPC they will not move. This makes pickpocketing extremely easy, otherwise they will move around.

Pickpocket as left click option

• You can use option "Prioritize pickpocket" in "Context menu settings" on highlite to always left click pickpocket npcs. Highly recommended for long grinds.
