Getting Started

In order to begin safecracking, head to the Thieves' Guild in Lumbridge. In the North East corner of the main room, you will find the Safe-cracking trainer. Talk to him and he will give some basic information as well as the tools needed to begin safecracking. These tools are a Stethoscope and a Small loot bag. Note that neither of these tools are actually needed, but without them, cracking a safe is much slower and you will gain no loot when you break in. For the higher level safes, you are able to use skill boosting items to steal from them.

This training method involves attempting to open the safe by turning the dial (performed automatically) and bypassing a set of dial locks. The higher level safes have more locks and, therefore, take longer to open. A small amount of experience is given throughout the cracking process, with a larger amount given when you complete one of the dial locks, and an even larger amount when you break open the safe.

In order to quickly open a safe at the fastest possible speed, players should watch the safe that they are opening and wait for it to flash blue as seen in the gif below - note that it will also make a distinctive noise if you have your sound effects on. When it does this, click the safe again and it will instantly complete a lock. Once the safe is open, an amount of loot is placed in the players loot bag and you can also randomly be awarded a special item that gives extra rewards when redeemed. Most safes take 5 minutes of in-game time to reset and allow you to crack them again, however, the safes unlocked at level 90+ take approximately 10 minutes to reset instead.

Once you have filled your loot bag or simply wish to turn in your items, return to the Thieves' Guild and talk to Chief Thief Robin. He will fence the items collected in your loot bag then reward you with experience, coins, and Pilfer points - a separate reward currency purely gained from safecracking. Any special items can be turned in to Darren Lightfinger for either 10 Pilfer points or 37,500 coins each. See the rewards section to learn what these special items are.

Safecracking Locations

Around Gielinor, there are 5 different major areas where Safecracking can be done. Each area has a minimum Thieving level required to crack the safes - some locations, or specific safes, require a little something extra. The Sections below will detail any requirements, experience gained, and the locations of the safes. Unlocking all of the safes will complete the "The world is a safe place" achievement.

Note that if you have issues locating a safe, you can use your minimap to look for the Thieving mask icon. Be aware that it will only be seen if you are on the correct floor.

Areas where you can safecrack include:

• Misthalin - Varrock, Lumbridge, and Draynor Village + Manor
• Kharidian Desert - Al Kharid, Nardah, Pollnivneach, and Menaphos
• Asgarnia - Port Sarim, Falador, Burthorpe, and Wilderness
• Kandarin - Yanille, East Ardougne, and Camelot
• Other - Zemouregal's fort, Zanaris, and Rogues' Castle

Misthalin

• 405 experience for the first 2 dial locks opened and 1,600 experience for fully opening the safe
• Safes will reset after about 5 minutes

• Recommended items:

Location	How to get there	Notes	Image
General Store - Edgeville	Edgeville lodestone or Amulet of glory to Edgeville.	Second floor, in the South East corner of the room.
Varrock Palace	Varrock teleport to the market square. Alternative: Varrock teleport to the Grand Exhchange or the Varrock lodestone.	You will need at least 65 Thieving for these safes. Third floor, in the Treasury. Climb the main stairs when you enter the palace, then the ladder in the room to the East, exit this room and walk West to the Treasury vault. Use a Lockpick or Hair clip to open the door. Inside you will find 3 safes along the South and West walls.
Wise Old Man's House - Draynor Village	Amulet of glory to Draynor Village.	At the top of the stairs just to the East of the entrance.

• Recommended items:

Within Menaphos you can then use Shifting tombs to reach the other districts (requires completion of The Jack of Spades), this is not much slower than directly teleporting there with the appropriate district teleports.
