I get excited talking about this because the thieving grind in Old School has such distinct flavors depending on how sweaty or chill you want to be. If you want the raw fastest XP per hour and you have the skill to pull it off, 'Blackjacking' in Pollnivneach is the go-to. It unlocks around level 45 thieving and demands constant attention: you stun the bandits with a blackjack, wait for them to slump, then pickpocket while they’re out. When you nail the rhythm you can easily outpace almost every other method.

That said, it’s click-heavy and unforgiving if you miss timings. If you prefer something still very fast but slightly less punishing, 'Pyramid Plunder' is fantastic — it scales nicely as your level rises and gives good XP alongside some loot. For early levels, stalls and pickpocketing NPCs are simple and cheap, and master farmers/stalls remain great for bank-friendly training. Personally I mix methods: fast sessions with blackjacking when I’m focused, and PP when I want bursts of high XP without dying to misclicks. It keeps the grind enjoyable rather than brutal, which I prefer.

If I had to boil it down in a quick tip: aim for 'Blackjacking' once you can (around the mid-40s thieving). It’s the highest XP/hour method if you can handle the rhythm and attention. Second place for me is 'Pyramid Plunder' — slightly slower when played safe, but much more forgiving and great for longer runs. Early game? Stick to stalls and pickpocket basics to build up to those methods. Also remember your playstyle: intense clicking sessions or chill, semi-afk training will determine which method actually feels fastest for you. I usually alternate so training doesn’t feel stale, and it keeps me enjoying the game.

I like to plan my grind like a little campaign: early levels are about convenience, mid-levels about transition, and late-game about squeezing maximum XP/hr. Start with stalls and low-level pickpocketing to hit that early momentum, then move into 'Pyramid Plunder' once the rooms and mechanics become familiar — it’s excellent for sustained XP and not as punishing if you mess up. When I want to absolutely push the meter, I switch to 'Blackjacking' in Pollnivneach; that’s the hyper-focused method that returns the highest XP if you’re crisp with timing.

A few practical things I never skip: bring teleport tabs or an easy bank route so you don’t waste minutes walking, keep food on hand for clutch heals, and practice a tiny rotation in a calm moment before committing to an hour of blackjacking. Also consider whether you want XP-only or some GP: master farmers and stalls can pad your wealth while still training. For me, alternating methods depending on mood keeps the grind sustainable and fun, and I end sessions feeling like I made real progress.

My practical side screams that context matters more than a single “fastest” tag. For pure grinding efficiency, 'Blackjacking' is the peak — super high XP/hr if you can maintain the stun–pick–wait cycle perfectly. It’s high-intensity, requires attention, and rewards consistent spacing and timing. If I’m tired or studying a guide while training, I’ll swap to 'Pyramid Plunder' because it’s still competitive XP, slightly less mechanical, and offers decent loots like sceptres or painted pots that make the hours feel worth it.

For brand-new accounts, stalls and basic pickpocketing are the only realistic paths early on, but they ease you into the mechanics. I also consider GP per hour: master farmers or stall runs can be way more lucrative while still decent XP. So, when I optimize, I balance pure XP sessions (blackjacking) with money sessions (farmers/stalls) so I’m not burned out and my bank grows alongside my thieving level. I usually end my days feeling satisfied when I see both the XP and cash numbers climb.

I still get giddy thinking about optimizing a thieving session: the absolute fastest method in raw XP is 'Blackjacking' if you’ve got the skill and patience for the stun–pick cycle. It’s click-intensive and not for laid-back evenings, but it melts XP. If you prefer long, reliable sessions where mistakes don’t ruin everything, 'Pyramid Plunder' is my favorite compromise — strong XP, nice loot, and tempo you can keep for hours.

For someone who values both progress and a pleasant experience, I recommend learning both: use blackjacking for focused, short bursts of insane XP and PP for marathon training. That combo has kept my motivation high, and I always log off satisfied when I’ve switched between the two depending on how I’m feeling.
