How to level a non-combat thief
« on: August 13, 2011, 03:20:18 am »

First of all, don't call me a tard because I made a non-combat thief and I'm sure you will because you all hate love me. If your thief has a combat skill tagged then just go kill stuff, stop reading this.

First of all you'll want to just level by crafting at first, and bulking up your steal skill to AT LEAST 150% before you can rely on stealing for XP, since you can't kill anything to gain EXP.

Step 1: Once said steal skill is at least 150% make your way to an unprotected town with a single cap or equally un-heavy item in your inventory.

Step 1.2: Make sure there's no militia or they'll just waste you when you get caught!

Step 2: Find an unarmed NPC that's close to an exit.

Step 2.2: If you can, try blinding the NPC to make stealing easier!

Step 3: Start planting the item on said NPC and taking it back over and over until you get caught.

Step 4: When the NPC attacks you ineffectively with their fists, run to the exit grid and sit on the world map until your steal cooldown hits zero.

Step 5: Re-enter, the NPC shouldn't be hostile anymore.

Step 6: Repeat starting at step 3.

If you get killed by another player, who cares? You had nothing to lose other than a single cap/item.

That sounds so exciting! I can't believe people are willing to spend time pushing a cap back and forth so that later they may harass other players. Exactly what use is a non-combat thief? Sounds to me like an alt for griefing.

When you hear people talking about the great leader of the Armeggedon Arms Co., there talking about me. On the flip side when you hear them laughing about the Plague who stood next to guard and died or something else like that, that would be my brother Ben.

This one looks like it was levelled up that way (light years ago):

By the way, I'm having that weird déjà vu feeling while reading this topic, I think someone already posted a similar one in the past.

What, they removed Necropolis ghouls?

Anyway, you forgot one important thing: blind the NPC to have easier steal.

I've tried the necropolis ghouls, you can't steal on them.

Too much thief leveling here I guess. I wonder if it would work at Gecko.

I tried training in the Reactor and the ghouls remained hostile when I re-entered.

I'd recommend Modoc, just watch out for the swarm of unarmed npcs that come out of the houses. :P
