Trainin'
vs. Self-trainin'
"Let me show
you why they call me "Please don't kill me!" " - Sewer Dog
When ye got enough SP's to
train yerself into a respectable thief then ye got two choices...ye kin
either train yerself er seek trainin' from a thief better den you.
Self-trainin' involves
a lot less fuss but costs twice as much in SP's as gettin' trained does.
To self-train ye just use the commands: selftrain <pickpocket or
whatever>. Simple as dat. But 'member, each rank in Pickpockets, fer
example, costs ye 10 SP's. O' course, you kin do it anytime ye damn' well
wanna and ain't gotta spend all day lookin' fer another thief.
Trainin' under another
thief costs a lot less SP's than self-trainin' an' is the preferred way
to go, but it requires that you find yerself another thief. And you of
all people should know jus' how much thieves don' wanna be found. Even
then ye gotta find one that'll train ye out o' the kindness o' their hearts,
or at least fer a reasonable price.
To learn from another thief
ye just get 'em to teach you and then, while they're doin' that,
ye just learn <pickpocket, grab or palm> from <the other guy>.
Right about now yer askin'
yerself "But how do I learn all dem other thievin' skills? Like slashin'
a sack off'a somebody?" Well, I hates to be de one to break it to ya',
but the guild holds a purty tight rein on all dem skills. As a non-guild
member ye kin only learn Basic Pickpocket, Grab, Palm and Coin sharpenin'.
Any other skill is forbidden to be taught to a non-member, so good luck
findin' somebody what knows 'em who'll be willin' to teach 'em to ye.
Yer ideal goal, o' course,
is to werk up about 100 SP's by palmin', then learn Basic Pickpocketing
to rank 20 from another thief (or 200 SP's and self-train to rank 20).
Then ye kin hits the streets and start skinnin' like a real pro. Now, if
yer anythin' like ole Sewer Dog, you won't be able to wait that long. That's
understandable and, as it 'appens, fer the better 'cause ye want some kinda
hands-on experience 'fore ye start skinnin' fer real. I ain't gonna suggest
too much a' dat, though. Ye don't wanna get too much attention early on.
Anonyym...anonimm...ah, hell....stayin' unknown is the name o' de game.

need a sturdy oak quarterstave? Have the people I've been beatin' over
the years been complaining?" - Sewer Dog
