"The stealthy art of picking an unsuspecting target'south pockets. A skilled pickpocket is less probable to exist caught and is more likely to find valuables."

―Loading Screens^[src]

Pickpocket is a skill in Skyrim and is ane of the six skills that fall under The Thief play-way. The intent of the Pickpocket skill is to provide greater function-play opportunities and much more than realistic thievery. The Dragonborn is free to peruse their target's inventory, without breaking the law. Unsuccessfully removing or adding an object volition heighten the Dragonborn's bounty, often causing the intended victim to become hostile.

There are many opportunities for lucrative pickpocketing to offset the significant costs of investing perks in the skill. Many characters will carry big amounts of gold or valuable jewelry that is frequently enchanted. Gold from grooming or bribes will as well exist in the characters' inventory which tin and then be stolen with the Pickpocket skill.

At that place is an unknown formula for maximum gold value that can be pickpocketed based on the level of the character's Pickpocket skill and which perks they have. This tin can event in situations where even a small alter in aureate value can result in huge swings in percentage take chances of success. This problem can be avoided altogether by paralyzing the victim kickoff, as it is possible to pickpocket anything from them without detection as they are getting back up.

The amount and weight of an item determines the difficulty of pickpocketing it. Nevertheless, the detail's value determines how much the skill is leveled past afterward being successfully pickpocketed.

Leveling techniques [ ]

• The amount of Pickpocket feel gained per item taken is partly based on a ratio of (detail value/item weight). The higher this ratio for an particular, the more Pickpocket experience is gained subsequently a successful take hold of. The take chances for success is reduced based on how heavy and valuable the detail is. Therefore, as a general rule, it is most efficient to pickpocket gold, arrows, gems, jewelry, and other items with piffling-to-no-weight and loftier aureate value. Solitude, Whiterun, and Windhelm have disproportionately college numbers of people who are more than wealthy and acquit the to a higher place types of items in abundance. Making mass pickpocket runs through these three cities alone while using rested bonus and The Thief Stone will bring a graphic symbol up to at least 90 Pickpocket in piffling time.
• A very easy style to level up the technique is to go sent to Riften jail. Once there interruption gratuitous, observe your loot and kill all the guards (in that location are two). After you lot take washed this sneak upwardly to some other prisoner in his cell (ane is to the left from your prison cell, one reverse your cell, Make-Shei below your jail cell if A Chance Arrangement is completed, and one opposite Make-Shei's jail cell), you can option pocket all of his belongings. Fifty-fifty if y'all get defenseless it will not crusade hostility or raise your compensation (because you are already in jail) so merely continue to pickpocket him every bit long as you lot would like. In one case yous have all of his holding replace them and repeat as much as you want. A far quicker method is planting gold on the prisoner and stealing information technology back (consult value in bullet below) *Note that you can get out your things in the dresser within your jail cell. The guards will not take everything out when you get arrested.*
• If you lot already take enchanting at 100 and the dual enchanting perk, arts and crafts a set (amulet, ring, boots and gloves) with +forty% pickpocket and +twoscore% sneak each. At level 15, put 700 gilded in the victim's inventory and steal it dorsum. This will have a 90% to succeed. Repeat, adding ~100 gold more each time. This will add almost five levels every successful endeavour.
• I of the means to level information technology up is to detect a carriage driver, like Bjorlam in Whiterun. Save the game get-go! Open his inventory and go to your "misc" section. Deposit 200 golden then, without exiting the inventory, steal it back. From skill level five–xx you should do about 50 gold. From 21–25 you should practice about 200 gold. From 26–forty skill do 300 gold. From 41–65 do about 520 gold. From 66–fourscore exercise 600 gilded. From 81–100 steal effectually 900–k gold. Each time you take the money back yous will become up by about 1 Pickpocket level. This method can as well be applied to Sibbi Black-Briar.Annotation: Use as many perks in Pickpocket equally you can, so you practise not go caught as much. This can likewise be done with guards in a concord. The baby-sit side by side to Belethor's General Appurtenances, during the early on morning time hours is an fantabulous place to level. Just be sure to continue some extra coin on you to pay your compensation.
• Steal gilded from your Housecarl. Wait until your Housecarl goes to sleep, afterwards that place some amount of aureate every bit shown above and/or items depending on your level and steal them back. Relieve the game afterwards 2 or three tries so you will not miss the opportunity to steal once more in case your Housecarl notices you lot.
• Another variant of the method listed higher up is using 1 of your followers. Requite them the items you plan on pickpocketing for leveling and then dismiss them. Once they are dismissed, pickpocket the items. Repeat and make sure to residue in bed every eight hours to get the skill bonus. Note: The items volition proceeds a stolen tag.
• One method, which avoids potential accidental deaths, is to steal from city guards. This provides the possibility of continually finding someone to pickpocket and being defenseless instantly upon failure (thus avoiding potential deaths of aggressive characters resulting from a failed pickpocket attempt).
• A simple and effective method is to quicksave before each attempted pickpocket. If successful, save again, if unsuccessful, re-load. Inns and marketplaces are expert places for pickpocketing, as at that place are many individuals there, who tin be pickpocketed one by one, and then move to the side by side market/Inn. Also, to increment the gamble of success, only pickpocket 1 item at a time.
• Complete the city influence quests and pickpocket anyone with dispensation. If caught, but tell the guard that "yous're with the thieves lodge." This tactic results in a 12 gold fine each time one gets caught.
• As Club Main in the Thieves Guild, it is possible to pickpocket whatsoever of the members freely. When caught, the member would say, "You could've simply asked." Afterwards, it will non be possible to pickpocket that member again, and the message, "<name> has already caught you," will exist displayed.
  • Prior to becoming the Guildmaster, Mercer Frey is a expert target, since he carries a diversity of items, ranging from elementary potions to jewels. If he catches you, he will never go hostile or make any commentary, unless he is following the Dragonborn during "Speaking with Silence." Pickpocket him when he is behind his desk-bound.
• Information technology is possible to pickpocket a skill trainer, so after being trained in another skill, think to pickpocket the trainer. In high levels of training, similar 70+, with perks in Pickpocket, or a heave with equipment enchantments and/or potions, it is possible to level upward quickly by stealing back effectually 2000+ gold with 90% chance of success.
  • Alternatively, training Pickpocket with Vipir or Silda the Unseen, if you do non accept access to the Thieves Social club however, is a great way to level the skill early on. Talk to him, train the skill, save, and then try to pickpocket the money he received for the training, reloading upon failures. Each pickpocket attempt will be around a 37% chance, but will level you each time you lot succeed. So, training and so pickpocketing the unmarried-training money back volition consequence in fast leveling of both yourself, in full general, and the Pickpocket skill...up to a betoken. He may, eventually, create and so much money on his person (through some means) that will arrive impossible to pickpocket, just this is a great way to level the skill and yourself up until that time.
• Another good technique is to pickpocket from bandits, as they always carry gold. If the attempt should fail, there are no consequences other than the fight with the brigand. Using this method as well helps to level up Sneak, particularly if said bandit is killed with a sneak attack. Using Calm on a bandit while pickpocketing works well to this cause.
• If y'all accept cleared out the valuables of most people in the game and still are not at 100 Pickpocket, The Fishing Job can be used to gain levels while remaining in towns.
• During Claret on the Ice, after you sell the strange amulet to Calixto Corrium, you can pickpocket information technology dorsum and sell it to him once again. You lot gain at least 1 skill level each time you do this, merely it is recommended to accept at least forty Pickpocket and several light fingers perks for this to work effectively.
• With 70 speech you can go the investor perk. Become to Angeline's Aromatics in Solitude and invest the 500 gold with Angeline then steal it dorsum. A bug in the game causes the investment selection to never get abroad. Yous can requite money every fourth dimension which means stealing dorsum larger amounts and leveling faster.
• You can go a bounty and permit yourself become caught (you demand to be in the Thieves Order) and bribe the guard with the more expensive option, then steal it dorsum after. This method is very fast but tin can be a toll at depression levels.

Removing stolen tag [ ]

• Get a Hold Guard to have the Dragonborn's stolen goods, then tell a follower to loot the evidence chest in that city'due south prison. This works only if the follower has a compatible morality.
• Sell the item to a fence then buy it back at a much college price. Speech perks and enchanted apparel, like the Amulet of Zenithar and Clavicus Vile's Masque, can be used to reduce the cost of buying back the item. The Dragonborn can use the Debate perk from the Speech skill to employ whatever merchant as a argue. This will not work for a few items.
  • If Ahkari has been unlocked equally a fence, you can sell her the items, so recall them from the invisible breast beneath her via a glitch or using a console command to access information technology. This way, y'all really gain money from removing the tag.
• Another more than expensive method is to put the item into a merchant shop'due south inventory, then buying information technology from the merchant. due east.g., waiting for the merchant caravans to arrive at Dawnstar (making certain their inventory will not refresh after speaking with them), then going to the invisible Dawnstar breast, and putting the stolen item within that chest. Then buying the particular from the merchant like any other item. ^{confirmation needed}
• It is too possible by putting the stolen items in an empty container from which y'all can search instead of steal, similar some wardrobes, endtables and cupboards in houses or shops. So later storing the stolen items you take to let a follower loot the container and then trade with him/her. Information technology doesn't ever piece of work with containers located outside.
• Some other simpler method is to pickpocket the stolen items onto a bandit, so kill the brigand and boodle the items. If you fail, you tin can use an invisibility potion or spell and hide until the bandit is no longer aggravated. You can also kill the bandit and use the technique on a dissimilar one if you lot are detected.

Trivia [ ]

• Items can exist pickpocketed with 100% chance if the target is paralyzed first. As soon as the victim begins to get back upwards, whatsoever item tin can exist taken, regardless of the percentage chance displayed. The stealthiest way to do this is past putting weak paralysis poison in their pocket with the Poisoned perk active (carrying a Staff of Paralysis or knowing the spell volition work, but often attracts attending and a bounty for set on). Some other technique is to deport a weak bow and arrows, lace a shot with a paralysis poisonous substance and fire from a hidden position; with a high stealth skill, this tin can be done without getting a compensation. The victim can too exist knocked down using all iii words of the Unrelenting Strength shout to have the same issue as paralysis. This tin can be especially useful for stealing big sums of subsequently paying a trainer.
• A popular exploit to gain Pickpocket levels is to get behind a jarl (because they normally accept expensive things) and have something with the value of around 100 and place it in their pocket and then simply rinse and repeat.
• The take chances to successfully pickpocket whatsoever item (including ) is capped at 90%.
• It is not necessary to exist completely "subconscious" to successfully pickpocket, though it does raise the take a chance to steal items significantly. It is, however, necessary when pickpocketing equipped items or weapons (though only from the graphic symbol being pickpocketed – it does non matter whether or non the Dragonborn is seen, and so long every bit the Dragonborn is not caught).
• After unsuccessfully attempting to pickpocket a graphic symbol, the graphic symbol cannot be pickpocketed over again for two in-game days. The character will not reset if the Dragonborn waits 2 in-game days in the same room.
• A Forsworn Briarheart will die if the Briar Heart is successfully taken from his inventory thus making this action double every bit a "stealth attack" to the Briarheart.
•  PS3  It is possible to pickpocket items with a 0% chance to steal. However, information technology requires having the Poisoned Perk. Simply become any type of paralysis poison and place information technology in the target's inventory. While they are down, the desired item can be pickpocketed.
  •  360  The above method will also work using a Staff of Paralysis, simply volition just work on some characters while others become hostile. This depends on the character'due south level.
• Another method to do information technology is to use Ice Course on the character, sneak and pickpocket them just as the ice breaks. Friendly characters like trainers or housecarls will not go hostile when Ice Course is used on them. With this method, equipped armor marked with 0% chance can be pickpocketed, as well as paid for training, though very weak characters may die from frost damage during the freeze fourth dimension.
• The Perfect Touch perk does not work on essential characters.
• Relieving hostile characters of all weapons in their inventory (including equipped ones which requires the Misdirection perk) will cause them to option up and equip nearby weapons on the ground or anything with a damage rating and to supplant their lost weapon. They can even selection up weapons stashed in containers.
• Every character and creature has their ain detection status, meaning that every bit long as that specific character or brute cannot see the Dragonborn, the Dragonborn still counts as "hidden" to them, fifty-fifty if the heart is completely open.
• A 0% chance to pickpocket does not mean that it is impossible to steal that item. It means that the chance falls below 1%.
• Characters simply wear their original apparel. For example, if you pickpocketed atomic number 26 armor off of someone, they will merely reequip that and nothing else.
• Books and notes can exist read while pickpocketing someone without attracting a compensation or hostility. This does non increase the Pickpocket skill.
• The posture of the person being pickpocketed can heighten or lower chances of taking an item, i.e., a Hunter is sitting on the basis, and stealing a deport pelt has an 89% risk of being stolen. When the hunter stands upward, perusing his inventory again reveals the deport pelt at present has a 90% chance of being taken without beingness caught.
• Pickpocketing low-damage arrows from characters practicing archery and opposite pickpocketing desired arrows (such as Daedric or Dragonbone) will force that character to use those arrows. As characters do not run out of arrows, they tin can be infinitely picked up after being fired, thus duplicating them. At that place are always guards in the courtyard of Castle Bleak during daytime that practice archery.

• Enchantments that boost pickpocketing chances may reduce the success rate when the base chance is small. Such enchantments grow less constructive as the value of the item being pickpocketed increases; for the about difficult items, these bonuses fall below 0%, resulting in a negative "bonus." ^{confirmation needed}
• In a like circumstance such as higher up, the illness Clutter ("Reduced Lockpick & Pickpocket," "Picking locks and picking pockets is 25% harder.") This serves to benefit the Dragonborn by instead increasing the risk to pickpocket very high values. For example, targeting Eorlund Grayness-Mane, item "Gold (2173)" with a 85% hazard with the disease present, item "Aureate (2173) with a 64% chance after the illness has been cured. ^{confirmation needed}
• If the target is standing up from paralysis, one can pickpocket everything from them without beingness noticed. Nonetheless, this will not increase the Dragonborn's Pickpocket level. See to a higher place.
• When quickloading immediately afterwards being caught pickpocketing when subtitles are enabled, the residents volition appear to be slandering you lot as a thief, this nonetheless does not make the residents aggressive nor will go you a bounty. To fix this, merely go out the metropolis and re-enter. ^{confirmation needed}
•  PC  If a non-hostile character is killed with poison (using the Poisoned perk), a 1,000 bounty may be immediately placed on Dragonborn (but not displayed in the screen corner), despite being in total stealth. This makes potion kills useless in certain questlines such as the Night Brotherhood.
