IMPORTANT: The listed profit rate is calculated at 94 Thieving icon while wearing full Rogue equipment (requires 50 Thieving icon and 50 Agility icon) with completion of the Ardougne Diary (hard) (requires 72 Thieving icon, boostable). Players with lower thieving will not achieve this profit rate and should see the table below for their estimated profit.

Pickpocketing master farmers can yield good amounts of seeds for Farming. The real money-makers are Ranarr seeds and Snapdragon seeds (worth 45,466 and 54,551 respectively). These seeds are very rare (appearing every 1/302 and 1/2083 pickpockets) but make up 92.4% of the profit.

The master farmer, whether he's Martin in Draynor or not, has to be trapped inside the fence to optimise the Thieving experience. He moves on his own accord, so players will have to wait patiently to trap him. After he's trapped, players should be courteous and keep the gate closed.

If low on health, players can steal some cake from the Baker's stall in Ardougne. Otherwise, players will need to use conventional food to restore Hitpoints.

Profit varies enormously based off thieving level, greatly improving after certain milestones. At 50 Thieving icon players can equip full Rogue equipment for guaranteed double loot, doubling profit. At 72 Thieving icon players can complete the Ardougne Diary (hard) for an additional 10% pickpocketing boost. It is not recommended to thieve Master farmers for profit at low levels as there are much better money making methods out there. Below are some experience and profit estimates at certain levels.

At 38 thieving, players should expect a pickpocketing success rate of 57.5% leading to 758 pickpockets per hour giving 32,607 Thieving icon and 145,005 profit.

At 50 thieving, players gain the ability to use Rogue equipment for guaranteed double loot. At this level while using the equipment they should expect a pickpocketing success rate of 64.7% leading to 943 pickpockets per hour giving 40,542 Thieving icon and 360,590 profit.

At 60 thieving, using full rogue equipment players should expect a pickpocketing success rate of 70.7% leading to 1129 pickpockets per hour giving 48,550 Thieving icon and 431,807 profit.

At 70 thieving, players can boost to complete the Ardougne diary (hard) for the 10% (multiplicative) improved pickpocketing success. At this level (using full rogue equipment) they should expect a pickpocketing success rate of 84.4% leading to 1724 pickpockets per hour giving 74,122 Thieving icon and 659,249 profit.

At 80 thieving, using full rogue equipment and Ardougne diary bonus players should expect a pickpocketing success rate of 91% leading to 2148 pickpockets per hour giving 92,383 Thieving icon and 821,660 profit.

At 90 thieving, using full rogue equipment and Ardougne diary bonus players should expect a pickpocketing success rate of 97.6% leading to 2730 pickpockets per hour giving 117,389 Thieving icon and 1,044,068 profit.

At 94+ thieving, with the Ardougne diary bonus players will no longer fail to pickpocket Master farmers and (using full rogue equipment) can achieve the maximum possible rate of 3000 pickpockets per hour giving 129,000 Thieving icon and 1,147,332 profit.
