Stealing
Rogue · Skill guide
Attempt permitted thefts and practise with a weighted training bag. Maximum skill: 100; useful alongside Snooping.
Summary
- Use: Use Stealing on a valid item or your Weighted Stealing Practice Bag; stay on foot with both hands empty.
- The practice bag gives no loot and causes no criminal theft.
- Actual player theft needs Thieves Guild membership and obeys item and region protections.
Training
Set Stealing 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 | Use your Weighted Stealing Practice Bag and select heavier grades as you improve. Keep it in your backpack outside training regions. |
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
Weight, target, ownership, criminal and region rules govern success. Private player houses remain completely outside the burglary system. Dungeon-cache claims work only after a managed cache is solved and opened, only in real dungeons on PvP facets, last two hours and allow one claimed cache per owner.
Additional rules & notes
- A protected or overweight item can still be impossible to steal.
Location & Instructors
- Trainer NPC: Thief Guildmaster to 50.0.
- Academy: Practice only where stealing is explicitly enabled.
