Pickpocketing in Runescape

by: Latona

In order to pickpocket any monster you just need to right click on them and choose the Pickpocket option. If you are caught you will get stunned and will lose some hitpoints and be unable to move for a few seconds. The higher your thieving level the less likely you will be caught.

The table below shows the monster to pickpocket, the thieving level required as well as the experience from each successful pickpocket. Some of the loot gained is also included.
