OSRS Rogue Outfit Guide How to Get It Fast

In Old School RuneScape (OSRS), the Rogue Outfit is a must-have for players looking to maximize their Thieving gains. This untradeable armor set, obtained through the Rogues’ Den minigame, boosts your pickpocketing by offering a chance to double loot, with the full set guaranteeing it. Whether you’re an Ironman or just grinding for gold, this guide will walk you through how to get the Rogue Outfit quickly and efficiently, with tips to optimize your runs.
The Rogue Outfit isn’t just cosmetic—it’s a game-changer for Thieving. Wearing the full set ensures you get double loot every time you pickpocket an NPC, making it ideal for money-making methods like Ardougne Knights or Master Farmers. Even partial sets help, with each piece increasing the double-loot chance by 15%. For Ironmen, it’s a lifesaver for gathering seeds or other resources faster.
Key Benefits of the Rogue Outfit
- Double Loot Guarantee: Full set ensures 100% double loot from pickpocketing NPCs.
- Untradeable Advantage: Kept on death (except above level 20 Wilderness), so no risk of losing it.
- Stackable Storage: Stores neatly in your costume room’s armor case.
- Versatile Use: Boosts efficiency for Thieving grinds, quests, or Diaries.
Who Should Prioritize It?
If you’re training Thieving past level 50, planning to grind gold at Ardougne Knights, or tackling the Falador Hard Diary, the Rogue Outfit is worth grabbing early. Ironmen benefit most, as it doubles resource drops like seeds, saving hours of grinding.
Requirements for Rogues’ Den
The Rogue Outfit comes from the Rogues’ Den minigame, located in Burthorpe. Before diving in, ensure you meet the requirements and prep your account to avoid wasting time.
Skill Requirements
- 50 Thieving (unboostable)
- 50 Agility (unboostable)
- 80 Thieving (optional, for shortcuts that speed up runs)
Recommended Items
You can’t bring items into the maze, but having these on hand outside helps:
- Stamina Potions: Maintain run energy between runs.
- Games Necklace: Teleport to Burthorpe for quick access.
- Food: Heal from trap damage if you fail traps (low HP accounts).
Getting to Rogues’ Den
The Rogues’ Den is under The Toad and Chicken inn in Burthorpe. Teleport using a Games Necklace, head south to the inn, and go down the trapdoor near the bartender. Alternatively, use a Combat Bracelet to teleport to the Warriors’ Guild and run east.
How to Play the Rogues’ Den Minigame
The Rogues’ Den minigame is a maze filled with traps, requiring Agility and Thieving to navigate. Your goal is to reach the wall safes at the end, crack them, and score a Rogue’s equipment crate or Rogue Kit. Here’s the step-by-step process.
Starting the Minigame
Talk to Brian O’Richard in the Den to enter the maze (first time only; after that, use the doorway). You can’t wear or bring items inside, so bank everything beforehand. The maze drains your Agility, Thieving, and Prayer, but they reset when you leave.
Navigating the Maze
The maze is a gauntlet of traps like swinging blades, spiked floors, and pressure plates. Failing a trap deals damage and may teleport you back to the start. At 50 Agility and Thieving, expect runs to take about 3–4 minutes without shortcuts. With 80 Thieving, shortcuts cut this to around 2 minutes.
Cracking the Wall Safe
At the maze’s end, crack the wall safe for a chance at a Rogue’s equipment crate (5/8 chance) or Rogue Kit (3/8 chance). Crates contain one piece of the Rogue Outfit (mask, top, trousers, gloves, or boots). Success teleports you back to the lobby with 12 XP per level drained in Agility and Thieving.
Reward | Chance | Use |
---|---|---|
Rogue’s Equipment Crate | 5/8 | Contains one Rogue Outfit piece |
Rogue Kit | 3/8 | Turns into chisel, rope, tinderbox, or spade |
Tips to Get the Rogue Outfit Faster
Getting the full set can take 1–4 hours, depending on luck and skill levels. These tips will help you minimize time and frustration.
Use the RuneLite Plugin
The RuneLite “Rogues’ Den” plugin highlights safe paths and traps, making navigation brainless. It’s a lifesaver for beginners and speeds up runs dramatically. Enable it via the Plugin Hub and follow its markers.
Take the 80 Thieving Shortcut
If you have 80 Thieving, pick the shortcut doors to skip chunks of the maze. This cuts run times to about 2 minutes, letting you crack more safes per hour. Grind to 80 via blackjacking or Ardougne Knights if you’re close.
Optimize Run Energy
Drink a Stamina Potion before each run to keep your energy at 100%. Restock at the bank near the Den’s fire. Without potions, you’ll slow down, adding minutes to each attempt.
Expect Variable Luck
Each crate has an equal chance for any of the five outfit pieces, so duplicates are common. On average, expect 8–15 runs for the full set, but RNG can stretch this to 20 or cut it to 5. Stay patient!
Pro Tip: Track your runs to avoid burnout. If you’re not enjoying it, take breaks between attempts.
Maximizing the Rogue Outfit’s Value
Once you’ve got the Rogue Outfit, it’s time to put it to work. Here’s how to make the most of it for Thieving and beyond.
Best Thieving Methods with Rogue Outfit
- Ardougne Knights (55+ Thieving): Double coins for 100–150k GP/hour.
- Master Farmers (38+ Thieving): Double seeds for faster Farming XP or profit.
- Vyres (82+ Thieving): Double blood shards or coins with Sins of the Father quest.
Note: The set doesn’t affect stalls, chests, or minigames like Pyramid Plunder.
Long-Term Benefits
The Rogue Outfit shines for long grinds. For example, pickpocketing Ardougne Knights from 55 to 99 Thieving can net an extra 10–15M GP with the full set. For Ironmen, doubling seed drops from Master Farmers speeds up Herblore and Farming significantly.
Storage and Maintenance
Store the outfit in your Player-Owned House’s costume room to save bank space. If you die above level 20 Wilderness, you’ll lose pieces, but they’re untradeable and can’t be reclaimed from Perdu, so stick to safe areas.
With these strategies, you’ll have the Rogue Outfit in no time and be doubling your loot across Gielinor. Got questions or want more OSRS tips? Drop a comment below and happy thieving!
