I have read that a patch placed into one of the later versions of the game made it significantly hardly to pickpocket NPC's.

Notwithstanding that, I have tried, with a little bit of success, to filch from Burz, and more recently, Kunar. I have had less success with the merchants in Arnika, the Trynnie Shaman and Fuzzfas.

My question is, assuming I have a felpurr rogue, maxing out dex, speed, and the pickpocketing skill, the best I can do is about 29 in the skill when I hit Burz. Even after getting a filcher's band later on, I rarely, if ever, get above 50.

Do any of you have any advice, other than save and reload, which the purist in me will not do, to try to boost my chances of successful filching?

I have snagged a death bomb from Burz, which was nice, but I've been dying to get Kunar's key, a Diamond Eye from the Trynnie Shaman, etc.

Thanks.
