Thieving is a skill which allows players to obtain coins and items by stealing from player shops, opening chests, or by thieving other players.
Player Thieving
Player thieving is simple to undertake but is also rather difficult to succeed in. Choose a player who is at the same location as yourself and search for their name in the "Players at this location" list. Select their name and below the player's stats will be a link to "Thief player". Click the link and you will have a go. The result will be seen instantly. If you are successful, you will be notified that you have stolen money from them. The amount you receive is random, but the more money the player has on them, the more money you are likely to get. The target is not told about the attempt and you are also given an option to try again. For a successful thieving attempt you earn 20 EXP.
If you fail to steal from them however, you will be captured and put into jail. The player is told that you have attempted to steal from them. Jail time varies but is determined by your thieving level compared to your targets level. If you have a higher level than your target, you will get more time in jail. The lowest time available is 150 seconds (2 minutes 30 seconds). Even if you fail, you will still get 5 EXP for trying.
Lockpicking
An important part of thieving consists of so called lockpicking. Unlike other types of thieving, this does not involve other players. Each locked item has a different level requirement and gives a different amount of experience (see "Chest Contents"). While this is a very easy way to train thieving, locked items are expensive and hard to come by. Every locked item requires a lockpick for them to be opened, to do this you need to Equip a lockpick., Click on the locked container in your inventory you want to open, Once the timer has counted down an unlocked version of the item will appear in your inventory. You can open this item by clicking on it.
Thieving Guild
The Thieving Guild is located on Mezno Island at the town of Mentan. However you will need to do the thieving trail quest before you can enter. When you are a member of the thieving guild you will be able to do special thieving jobs that will gain you gold as well as thieving experience (exp). For these jobs, you are given a time limit and a target. You will be told their last known location and you will need to thieve them to scare them. You must be swift, find your target and strike. Success or failure in your attempt does not matter. You will have scared them enough to satisfy the guild. Then make your return to the guild in your own time to collect your reward. The quicker you strike, the greater your reward.
Special Events
Every so often, a mysterious chest will appear somewhere. These boxes are combination locked, hidden within a certain range of numbers. Players get one guess every 20 seconds. You can guess as many times as you like, with every failed attempt giving you 4 experience for trying. If you manage to successfully guess the combination and open the lock, you shall receive whatever mysteries lie within...
