There was a time people would fart around in market square or at the potion store, but now, everyone is on the move. I can barely even jack someone without thief waylay.
With deft touch and blackjack, you can rob someone blind in about 2 ticks. Problem is, they will know they were robbed - and its more fun for them to never have a clue (stay hidden always).
Go up to deft touch and see how much luck you have. If too hard to find anyone, get waylay and blackjack, park on the eastern road,and have fun!
