You know when high lvl theives shadow you while they spawn their lvl theives on to you. What can you do?

kill their thieves, run to ferry, or logout. thats about it

or call on a high level friend to come kick some thief butt ;P

That is called 1* popping. People like that are generally not liked, but.. the only real way to get rid of them is to run like mad. I perfer to hop on my camel and camel pot like no other, even though it wastes a lot of money I perfer to waste the thieves time for being that pathetic.

there's a few ways to beat this, but none are gauranteed, except calling some high level friends to help out.

one, try zigging and zagging your camel, staying very close to theirs. most times their thieves will target their camel instead of yours.

two, trying doing -large- circles on your camels. this can sometimes keep the thief running around in circles while trying to get ahead of you. this way the thieves won't target you.

three, if the thieves are too strong to kill, but not strong enough to one-shot you, try this. hop off the camel, attack the thief just long enough to make it target you. once it does, run like hell with grasswalk on. the thief will follow, leaving your camel alone. it doesn't take much to outrun a thief, and they'll fade away after not attacking for so long. rinse and repeat if they keep spawning them

four, if you can kill them, do it. even if they're red, you can sometimes kill them, depending on their level. if you can this is the best way to go. this will show them that they are not high enough level to do this to you, and most of the time will stop.


no matter which method you choose, make sure to laugh at them and call them incompetent losers once you get away. most one star poppers i've seen lately just arent that good at what they do, and seem stumped when you figure out a way to not let it happen.

If im being chased by multiple thieves that are WAY stronger than me, i get of my horse, and run like hell... Sometimes i terminate it and run into the shadows... If they find me, RUN LIKE MADE AGAIN

U can easily outrun NPC thieves with atleast lvl 3 grasswalk and garm.
Thats what i did when i accidentally walked across a lvl 68+ thief 4star on Fire Ox

U can either risked being killed and loose exp or loose money and have a better chance of living.
