How to Get the Rogues’ Outfit in Old School RuneScape

If you plan on training Thieving in Old School RuneScape (OSRS), one of the most valuable items you can obtain early is the Rogues’ Outfit. When worn in full, this set guarantees double loot from pickpocketing NPCs. In other words, you’ll make twice the money while training-making it an essential step for anyone chasing 99 Thieving or simply looking for a reliable source of passive income. While some players choose to buy OSRS gold to fund their journey, earning it through the Rogues’ Outfit is a sustainable and rewarding method. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about obtaining the outfit, including requirements, preparation, how to navigate the maze, and tips to speed up the process.

Requirements

To attempt the Rogues’ Den minigame, you’ll need:

· 50 Agility (unboostable)

· 50 Thieving (unboostable)

These stats ensure you can handle the obstacles inside the maze. Higher levels will make certain shortcuts available, such as a valuable 80 Thieving shortcut that speeds up runs considerably.

Getting to the Rogues’ Den

The Rogues’ Den is located beneath the Burthorpe pub. The fastest method of travel is using a Games Necklace to teleport directly to Burthorpe. From there, enter the pub, climb down the trapdoor, and you’ll arrive in the Den.

Inside, you’ll find a bank, a fire where many players train Cooking, and Brian O’Richard, the NPC who allows you to enter the maze. Before starting, deposit everything into the bank, as you cannot bring items inside.

Preparation

While you don’t need gear for this minigame, there are a few helpful things you should set up beforehand:

1. Runelite Plugin: Download and enable the Rogues’ Den plugin. This highlights safe tiles and simplifies navigation through the maze, reducing the chance of failure.

2. Stamina or Energy Potions: While run energy isn’t usually a huge problem, sipping potions between attempts ensures you can move efficiently.

3. Patience: If you fail at any point, you’ll need to restart the maze from the beginning. It’s a test of concentration more than anything else.

Navigating the Maze

The Rogues’ Den maze is a series of traps, blades, ledges, and doors designed to catch you off guard. Here’s a step-by-step overview of what to expect:

1. Starting Out - After speaking to Brian O’Richard, enter the maze. Follow the plugin tiles if you’re using Runelite, as they show the safest route.

2. Trap Dodging - You’ll encounter drop tiles, spinning blades, and saw traps. Always pause briefly on the “stand” tiles before moving again-rushing can trigger traps.

3. Ledges and Obstacles - Climbing ledges will temporarily reduce your Agility level, but don’t worry, it resets after the run.

4. Doors and Grills - You’ll move through several rooms with multiple doors. The plugin highlights the correct ones to take. Without it, trial and error is the only option.

5. The Guard Encounter - Toward the end of the maze, you’ll pick up flash powder. Use it on the rogue guard blocking the path to stun him and continue safely. Forgetting this step forces you to restart.

6. Final Steps - After dodging the last traps, you’ll reach the end of the maze. Crack the wall safe to receive either Thieving/Agility XP, a Rogue Kit, or, most importantly, a Rogues’ Equipment Crate.

7. Each crate lets you choose one piece of the outfit. The set includes:

· Rogue mask

· Rogue top

· Rogue trousers

· Rogue gloves

· Rogue boots

It usually takes between 5-10 successful runs to complete the full set, though luck can make it quicker or slower.

The Benefits of the Rogues’ Outfit

Wearing the complete set gives a 100% chance to double loot when pickpocketing. With only partial pieces, you’ll get a smaller chance at the effect, but the full set is always recommended.

For example, pickpocketing wealthy NPCs like Ardougne Knights or Master Farmers becomes significantly more profitable when using the outfit. Each successful pickpocket yields both the coin pouch and direct coins, effectively doubling your profits. Over the course of training from level 50 to 99 Thieving, this bonus can translate into tens of millions of additional gold.

Final Thoughts

The Rogues’ Outfit is one of the best investments you can make early in your OSRS account if you plan on training Thieving seriously. While the maze can feel frustrating-especially when a small mistake forces a restart-the payoff is absolutely worth it. With Runelite’s plugin guiding you and a bit of patience, you should have the full outfit in less than 10 runs. Once completed, you’ll have a powerful tool that turns every pickpocket into double the reward. Whether you’re aiming for 99 Thieving, looking for the cheapest OSRS gold alternatives to fund your progress, or just want to make more gold while skilling, the Rogues’ Outfit will pay for itself many times over.
