Old School RS: 1-99 Smithing Thieving Guide 2024
Mar-19-2024 PSTToday, I'm thrilled to present my revamped 1-99 Thieving guide. As the name suggests, the primary goal of thieving is to pilfer items from NPCs and chests scattered across RS. Whether you're seeking tons of experience with modest loot or aiming for fewer experience points per hour but higher chances of snagging valuable items, thieving is undoubtedly one of the most click-intensive Runescape skills in the game. Despite its demanding nature, the skill compensates by being one of the fastest, with end-game methods boasting up to a staggering 250,000 experiences per hour. So, if you're ready to embark on a thieving adventure, let's dive into the guide!
