Best targets to 5 finger shimmy?

[Ivory]

Anyone know some prime targets for pickpocketing? I plan to be a Sneaksy gnome, getting great riches....but I'm not sure if the no-gems thing is still a thing...or what some good classic pickery targets are (well, outside of a couple).

Giants. But my go to was dwarf guards. Not much money but the roleplay was worth it.

The problem with giants is you can't pull platinum until higher pickpocket skill.

Had this great plan to pick pocket orc belts on green but then i realized that since they are belts the orcs are wearing them =(

In general humanoids of any kind are decent for coin. I recall from my live days that highkeep goblins were particularly good but that might be difficult here.

Goblin Ears, Highkeep

The ore from them as well, if that's on the loot table in classic

Goblin Ears, Highkeep

I have to say, I'm all for keeping things classic, but I feel like this is one place (like the OOT boat direction) where it'd be ok for the staff to step in and say "yeah we know it's classic, but ... this is dumb".

You should not be able to pickpocket a guy's ears! :)

Rezzelspitz the goblin hadn't always been alone, his mate Marglspuz had died recently to the filthy High Keep guards and he would get his revenge with a bit of Marglspuz to accompany him in the form of her ear. It was a custom of the goblins in these mountains to keep the ears of those they liked with the most popular of the goblins having full necklaces of them, sometimes pressed into beads, often referred to as warbeads.

Rezzelspitz only had the one though and that was enough to fuel his revenge!

Ear pickpocketing is a terrible, game-ruining exploit, and an oversight the original devs should have corrected. It's far worse than the Siren's Grotto glitch or the OOT boat direction: if the P99 devs fix those unclassically, they should fix ear-stealing! ;)

Yeah.. I may be remembering wrong but the plat that giants dropped was mostly in gold and silver form which weighed you down quickly.

I can't even remember the last time I paid for a port or rez on blue with coins instead of gems. Lol.

When you really think about this, I don't see why not. As a child, I knew a man who had the ability to detach his thumb, and even stole my nose once.
