Pickpocket islanders and crack open stalls and lockboxes with light fingers
max lvl
Training guide
Pickpocket islanders and crack open market stalls and lockboxes — light fingers earn loot and XP, but getting caught stings.
Getting started
Stand next to an islander on Tutorial Island and try a pickpocket. Success lifts loot straight into your pack for 12 XP; failure deals a little damage and puts that mark on cooldown while things cool off.
| Levels | Activity | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 1–5 | Pickpocket islanders | The starter mark — 12 XP per lift at a 55% base success chance, climbing 2% per level above the requirement. |
| 5–14 | Market stalls | Open at L5 for 26 XP per lift. Riskier (50% base) but the loot table is better. |
| 14–99 | Lockboxes | Open at L14 for 55 XP per crack. Only 40% base success, but every level you gain tips the odds further your way. |

Tips
- Success chance climbs 2% per level above a target's requirement (capped at 95%) — a few extra levels turn a risky mark into a safe one.
- Failure costs HP and cooldowns only that one target — rotate between marks instead of waiting around.
