Thieving

Thieving is similar to the normal thieving system although instead of pickpocketing NPC's you pickpocket other players, you can still advance your thieving level on thieving stalls to get items such as cakes to fuel your player, but the player pickpocketing allows you to pick anyone's pocket as long as they are within a 20 combat level difference. Pickpocketing a player will result in the thief stealing a random item from the players inventory. The less items you have in your inventory means the higher chance of another player stealing that item, so a little tip is to have your inventory full with junk at all times to try and save your good items from being stolen. Items stored in your backpack cannot be stolen (At the moment - this may change (High Thieving level required) not sure yet)

How to prevent someone pickpocketing you? Keep some nails stored in your inventory. If you are carrying 10 or more nails of any kind (Bronze, Iron, Steel, Black, Mithril etc) and someone tries to pick your pockets then they will fail and they will deal damage (Damage is based on the kind of nails - For example Bronze nails will deal 10 damage and Rune Nails will deal 70 damage) If a player picks your pockets and you have nails in your inventory then you will loose those 10 nails.

Note - If you have less than 10 nails in your inventory then this will not work and the thief will successfully pick your pockets.
