"What's yours is mine, what's mine is my own"
Stealing is the art of taking items from other players and NPCs without their knowledge. This criminal skill allows you to pickpocket gold, reagents, weapons, and other valuable items. Thieves can operate in towns (risking guard justice) or prey upon adventurers in the wilderness. A skilled thief is invisible, silent, and gone before victims realize their loss.
Buy from Thief NPCs in the Thieves' Guild or find trainers in towns. Essential start.

💡 Pro Tip: Always carry hiding and stealth skills - essential for any thief!
| Skill Level | Max Weight | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| 0-30 | 1-3 stones | Gold, reagents, gems |
| 30-60 | 3-7 stones | Scrolls, potions, jewelry |
| 60-90 | 7-12 stones | Weapons, armor pieces |
| 90-100 (GM) | 12-17 stones | Heavy weapons, rare items |
Immediately use Hiding after a successful steal. This breaks line of sight and prevents retaliation. Practice the timing until it becomes second nature.
Always use Snooping to examine a target's belongings before stealing. This lets you choose the most valuable items and plan your approach.
Know your escape routes before committing to theft. Have recall scrolls, gate spells, or safe hiding spots planned. Never steal without an exit strategy.
