PSA: Pickpocketing the new Crux Eqal Knights is over 1.3m base XP/HR and 100% AFK
???

PSA: I didn't write this.

I quoted some Reddit user and the others who commented to that thread to show OP while he found garden druids "slow and painful to be appealing", there are others who found great xp out of it.

Please follow the link I quoted, immediately following what you quoted me, for details on the great xp/hr as well as 4 mil gp/hr.

idc if u didnt post it but obviously someone said its 100% afk proving ur post wrong

How is my post wrong when even the Reddit I quoted further wrote

"99 thieving (might reach 0% fail rate a bit earlier with all boosts but hard to test at what level exactly)"


I believe he didn't mean 100% AFK before 99 thieving. He still failed and got stunned before 99 thieving. However, the stun rate would be much less when we got closer to 99 thieving and hence he claimed great xp and gp per hour.

OK I am only trying to provide info to Jagex that there seems to be something wrong with the stun rate for people who would be trying the Druid ( level 43 thieving Druid , not the knight) for seeds.

For a player with 59 thieving no boosts not even gloves
pickpocketing the druid at the washing line
In 5 minutes I was stunned 26 times, received 2842 xp, 2669 gp, 12 elemental anima stones, no seeds

So that would be about 300 stuns an hour, 34k xp/hr, 32k gp, 144 elemental anima stones

So to me it sounds like it is excellent for people with high thieve and gear, but anyone who is nearer level 43 than 99 will simply give up and maybe try again when they have another 30 levels. I suspect that the thieve level 43 druid is for lower level players so maybe there is something not quite right.

At 99 thieving using just the set the druids are afk-pickable. Generally the fail rates for lower levelled players certainly sound basically like how pickpocketing usually is unless you insanely outlevel things - that's an issue with the mechanic itself, not with that specific target.

At 99 thieving using the set, a t5 aura, crystal mask and light form the knights have a 100 % success rate as well, allowing them to be afked as long as those effects are kept active with still succeeding most of the time when either the light form or aura (so possibly a lower tiered aura might work out just as fine) went out - crystal mask is mandatory though. Those being high levelled targets, there is nothing wrong to assume players actually will use the tools they have at their disposal.

In both cases I got the ardougne cape effect unlocked, which improves the base rates passively.

I generally think they need be more forgiving for medium levelled targets (such as those druids), since you obviously will not have the means to improve your rates other by increasing your level (and why would you be there when not for this?). I think it's fine to assume players are using gloves of silence, a tier 1 or maybe-ish even 2 aura and the ardougne perk. For lower levelled targets obviously not even that.

Legendary Aura + Lightform + Crystal Mask + Master Theif Outfit = 1.2m exp per hour (?)
I reckon they will nerf it a bit, less exp and less chance of getting hit, or DXP will be nuts... Bob says:

It certainly was not 1.2m in an hour - at least not base xp - I've made something around 600-700k without bxp or cores while my aura ran, just recharging my prayer a few times, while almost instantly returning with a stolen teleport seed. It can be a bit more if you have the dark facet of grace or you're taking prayer potions with you, but 1.2m is almost certainly with some kind of bxp. Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

I got more than 700k but less than 1.3 mil xp/hr, but the new pickpocketing method is far better than pickpocketing NPCs requiring 43 or lower thieving normally, unless OP and a few other RSOF users claimed.

As I mentioned, I don't see it being 100% AFK like the Reddit user suggested, but even we get stunned, druids don't move like the other pickpocketing targets. We still save a lot of time and gain a lot more xp.
