Trader

Traders are dwarves that live in Keldagrim, the capital of the Dwarven Realm. They work in the Trade Octagon, a large area in the city's massive palace.

The eight ruling companies of Keldagrim, the Consortium, are in constant need of labour, ore, and mining rights. Although some transactions are done formally behind desks by the companies' directors and secretaries, the large amount of trading performed often requires less formal methods. To accomplish this, the Consortium has hired traders to perform trades in the Trade Octagon.

Two traders for each company stand on each side of the Octagon, found in the centre of the city. Here they shout out their offers and look for potential deals. To help oversee this, the Trade Referee stands in the centre of the Octagon and ensures that the octagon runs as smoothly as possible.

Traders do not currently have roles in any quests, and cannot be talked to, but at level 90 Thieving, players may pickpocket them. Initially, a minigame was planned for the Octagon, but as confirmed by a Jagex Moderator, this scheme has now been abandoned, replaced instead with the thieving element.

Thieving
As of September 9th 2009, players can pickpocket the traders. They need a thieving level of 90 and will be rewarded 556.5 experience if they are successful.

If a player fails to pickpocket the traders they may be attacked by a level 86 guard wandering nearby. A method to escape the attention of these would be to go up or down one of the nearby staircases. Guards can be trapped in the offices of some companies

A player may also talk to their respective mining company and ask about the guards attacking them. On completion of the task given, guards will ignore the player for 10 minutes, if the player steals from their respective company the guards will stop ignoring them.
