Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura Hints
General tips on thieving in Tarant...
1 of 4: All you have to do to complete the thief jobs is acquire the item you're sent after, and bring it back to Mr. Black, the fence. No more, and no less. You don't have to be subtle about it, you can wantonly slaughter people if you feel like it, but be sure they don't call the guards and aren't part of any quests.
2 of 4: In general, the best way to steal stuff from people is to go into their house in the day, wait until they go to sleep at night, and then go and steal whatever you need to from them.
3 of 4: If you have to pick pocket, you might as well do it during the day -- it's actually easier.
4 of 4: None of the quests actually require you to kill anyone -- you can always turn them around (by talking) and prowl so they don't see you picking a lock.
