Snooping

Description

• The Snooping skill allows players who are 'Red Hand' members of the Thieves Guild to peek into the inventory of other players. Players must have 80 skill or higher in Stealing and Snooping skill to join the Thieves Guild, which can be done from any Thief NPC. Players can choose to become 'Grey Hand' members of the Thieves Guild and gain access to a variety of tools and abilities to use against creatures, including improvements to Backstab attacks and 'Mugging' creatures for additional loot. Players can train Snooping skill from a Pickpocket dip.
