OSRS Thieving Calculator
Thieving starts slow with pickpocketing and stalls, but it ramps up fast. The big jumps are blackjacking (Menaphite Thugs around 260k XP/hr), pickpocketing Ardougne Knights, and Vyres or Elves at high level, with Rogues' Castle chests as a click-heavy top method. It's cheap to train and makes money on the way, which is why it's a favourite.

Thieving calculator — FAQ
What's the fastest way to train Thieving in OSRS?
Blackjacking Menaphite Thugs is among the fastest Thieving XP at around 260k XP/hr, though it takes practice. Pickpocketing Ardougne Knights and, at high level, Vyres or Elves are the simpler high-XP methods most players use.
Does Thieving make money in OSRS?
Yes — it's one of the better money-makers while you train, especially pickpocketing Elves and Vyres or looting high-value stalls and chests. That makes it one of the few skills that pays you to level it up.
Can you train Thieving in free-to-play?
Yes, but slowly — F2P is limited to pickpocketing men and women and a few stalls. The fast methods (blackjacking, knights, elves) are all members-only, so free-to-play Thieving is a low-level grind.
