    What is the best way to pickpocket? Is there something I should make sure I do? Who are the best targets? Thanks!

    As a rule of thumb - try to keep your pickpocketing ability as high as possible - I actually preferred abilities from 150 to about 200 to minimize risk - I wasn't too keen to battle my way through an all hostile Waukeen's promenade ... ;)

    Pickpocket Ribald Barteman in the Adventurer's Mart. You could even buy a few of his potions of thievery before doing the deal.

    There are a pair of gloves of pickpocketing laying around in the rooms in the back of Copper Coronet, where you can buy nightly entertainment.

    I usually go for 200 in pickpocketing. Never sure how much over the edge that is. One thing I know is when my pcikpocketing exceeded 270 with potions and stuff, My thief actually got worse at pickpocketing.

    Drink a couple Potions of Master Theivery before going on a pickpocket/stealing spree.

    Two of the best people to pickpocket are Ribald in the Adventurer's Mart and Tolgeiras(sp?) in the Govt Building

    [​IMG] hmm - come on: When you play a self-respecting pickpocket you don't want to drink 10 potions of master thievery to be able to do your job (unfortunately the effects add up :(:mad: ) ...
    That's the poor man's way, plasma ... :( :p

    Sorry Ragusa. But when you're relying on Imoen as your thief, you can't get by on raw abilities

    The Amnish guard and nobles can give off up to level 6 or 7 scrolls, and the Djinni named Taquee standing outside of the Dao Djinni tent has a little something for you to take. :) (but it has to be before the completion of the Trademeet tent.
