Joining the Thieves Guild

You do not apply to the Thieves Guild. It watches, and when you have done enough, it sends a letter.

§What counts

The guild counts 10 thefts. Each of these adds one:

• a pickpocket that actually took gold,
• picking the lock of a building’s door,
• taking from the containers in someone’s home,
• taking from a shop’s shelves.

A pickpocket that worked but found nothing does not count. Neither does a failed lock.

§When the letter comes

After the tenth theft, the letter arrives three game days later. Online, that is three days of your own character’s time, which runs while you play.

§The fastest honest route

1. Put Pickpocket and Lockpicking in your class skills.
2. In a big town, try the lock of every house door at night. Each success counts.
3. Pickpocket people you outlevel, for +5% per level.
4. Then wait, rest or travel. The letter finds you.
