Lab Log: thieving

Run 001 - Initial Implementation

Outcome: SUCCESS Duration: ~1 minute (very fast due to spawn location)

Strategy

• Start at Lumbridge spawn (3222, 3218 - already near Men NPCs)
• Find Men/Women NPCs (they have Pickpocket option)
• Use sendInteractNpc with Pickpocket option index
• Handle stuns by waiting ~5 seconds
• Continue until Thieving level 10

What Worked

• Script found Man NPC immediately at spawn
• sendInteractNpc with Pickpocket option works correctly
• XP detection for success/failure works
• Stun handling with 5s delay was effective
• Reached level 10 with 1200 XP

Notes

• The Lumbridge spawn (3222, 3218) is already in a good spot for pickpocketing
• Men NPCs are plentiful in the Lumbridge area
• Mix of successes and stuns is normal at low levels

Learnings

1. Strategic Findings

• Pickpocketing Men/Women is effective for early Thieving training
• Lumbridge spawn location is ideal - no need to walk anywhere
• Stun duration of ~5 seconds handles the failed attempt penalty

2. Process & Tooling Reflections

• Script completed on first attempt - pattern was straightforward
• Using optionsWithIndex to find "Pickpocket" option worked well

3. SDK Issues & Gaps

• None encountered - sendInteractNpc with custom option index works as expected
