The Thief Forum FAQ, by Crazy Joe, Chaotic Jelley, Snoopy the Neon Ninja, and Zole
Revised last on 4/7/03

Before we begin, if you came here looking to ask questions about or even talk about stealing rares from Doom or from town crates, or basically anywhere except from another player, you are in the wrong place. This forum is for the pickpocket profession and nothing else.

This FAQ was written not as a replacement but as an update to the one originally composed by Crazy Joe and Chaotic Jelly as there have been many changes to the game since their original FAQ and it was becoming difficult to keep both organized and updated.
