Thieving after 99 or life without Pyramid Plundering

What is the fastest way to raise Thieving? Well, of course, the Pyramid Plundering minigame. There is no arguing about that. But what if you don’t like it or, as in my case, reached level 99 and simply sick of it? What should you do then? Who should you steal from?

I decided to conduct a bit of research and measured 15 minute Thieving sessions with eight most popular ways to raise this skill. Note that the numbers are for level 99, but for level 99 who is NOT extremely good with his mouse.

As you might have expected the fastest way is the way where you don’t get hit on a head too often! Yes, I am talking about Knights – the only potential rival to Pyramid Plundering in speed; still slower but not by much.
Knights bring good money too, but less than Paladins. And, of course, Master Farmers are best money makers out there with a variety of ranarr and other good seeds.
The only other option I liked was safes at Rogue’s Den, because of the bonus Crafting experience and further possibility to make jewelry.
Yeah, and Heroes are the worst!

So my recommendation to people who don’t like Pyramid Plundering would be Knights for experience, Paladins and Master Farmers for money.
At the same time cape owners might want to steal from safes and Master Farmers.

I am pretty sure that the same conclusions remain true for all levels after 90 or so. But it would be very interesting to know if the proportions change a lot at lower levels. If you decide to measure it up, please, post the results here or let me know in any way and I will update the article. Thank you!
