Section 4: Pulling Off the Theft
4.6: Finding Marks
Its all very well knowing how to steal, but how do you find your
marks?!? Well, places popularity differs from shard to shard, but
usually you
can find marks:
- Buc's Den - Here, usually many pvp'rs can be found, also a few thieves Expect lots of regs, bandies, and some okayish weapons.
- Yew Moongate - Seems to be the new home of pvp on many shards. Also many thieves! Dont expect many rares to be found here!
- Champ Spawns - Obviously, not much to steal here, apart from
powerscrolls! I recomend to do so, open up as many peoples packs as you
can,
also keeping there gump next to there pack . Then, dont move. Once the
champ has been and gone, you will see who has scrolls, and you can
steal (but be quick!)
- Banks - Every bank is differnt. You cant expect the same items
at all banks. I find Brit Bank to be the least rewarding, as a main
bank, many people steer clear of it. Give Skara Brae a try, many people
bank there, thinking its a thief free bank.
- All Other Moongates - Every moongate can have people there, but the most popular are Yew (as mentioned above) and Britan.
- Healer Huts - The most popular one being Britan Healers, you
come across many a soul who have died and have resurected with all there
loot on them! Nice weapons can be found here, along with the occasional
Powerscroll!
NOTE: With AoS, healers have became an even better place for finding marks- people who don't have "auto-reinsure" on will
be easy targets, allowing you to nab all their favorite "safe" items! There are others, but its fun to adventure for yourself!
