Snooping
Rogue · Skill guide
Inspect the contents of eligible backpacks. Maximum skill: 100; useful alongside Stealing.
Summary
- Use: Stand beside another eligible character and try to open their backpack.
- Snooping examines contents; Stealing takes an item.
- Protected targets, range and region rules still apply; your own backpack is not the training target.
Training
Set Snooping to Up ↑ and leave room under your 720 total skill cap.
| Skill Range | Recommended Activity |
|---|---|
| 0–50 | Buy an optional lesson from a Thief Guildmaster for 300 gold; it raises this skill directly to 50.0. |
| 50–100 | Repeatedly open an eligible target’s backpack while beside them. |
Right-click the teacher NPC, select the skill’s training entry, then give 300 gold. You need a skill cap of at least 50 and room for the entire lesson under your total cap.
Mechanics & Scaling
Success and consequences depend on the target, criminal rules and location. Thieves & Traps does not make an ordinary private player house or its containers snoopable; the special burglary surface is limited to supported public-world outposts and cache targets.
Additional rules & notes
- Attempts can be noticed, cost karma and may reveal you on failure.
- Private player houses are not opened to burglary by this skill.
Location & Instructors
- Trainer NPC: Thief Guildmaster to 50.0.
- Academy: Snoop valid containers only in explicitly permitted situations.
