Rogues' Den

''This is about the location. For information about the minigame, see Rogue's Den.''



The Rogue's Den is located in Burthorpe, underneath the Toad and Chicken Inn. There is a trapdoor behind the bar that gives access to the den. A player doesn't need to be level 50 Thieving to enter the Rogue's Den, but does in oder to use the Maze.



Transportation
The Toad and Chicken Inn, with the entrance to the Rogue's Den, is near the centre of Burthorpe.
 * The fastest way to get there is by using a Games necklace to teleport to the basement of the Burthorpe Games Room. Climb the stairs, exit the castle, and just cross the street to the inn to the southeast.
 * The Combat bracelet's teleport to the Warriors' Guild is almost as fast. Just walk east from the guild to get to the inn.
 * If your house portal is in Taverley, you can use the Home Teleport spell, leave your house, and then walk north to Burthorpe.
 * The Balloon transport system has a balloon that goes to eastern Taverley. Partial completion of the Enlightened Journey quest is necessary to use the balloons. Upon arrival, go north-northwest to Burthorpe.

Personalities

 * Emerald Benedict provides free banking services.
 * Martin Thwait is the master of Thieving and sells some tools, thieving equipment, and light weapons. He also sells the thieving Skillcape for 99,000 coins to players who reach level 99 thieving.
 * Brian O'Richard controls access to the Rogue's Den maze minigame.

Features



 * The highlight of the den is the Rogue's Den minigame. This game can reward players with Agility and Thieving experience, as well as Rogue kits and items of Rogue equipment.
 * Four wall safes are in the center of the den. Players can try to crack the safes. Success means they receive 70 thieving experience and also randomly get a cut gem (sapphire to diamond) or gold Coins (10, 20, or 40 coins). Failure means they trigger a trap and take a small amount of damage. Stethoscopes, which Martin Thwait sells, help with cracking the safes.
 * A perpetual Fire is located near Emerald Benedict. This makes the den a favored spot for some players who train Cooking, as it allows rapid cooking and banking of the food. Note that only some food can be cooked using a fire, meaning that items requiring a Range must be cooked elsewhere.

Trivia



 * RuneScape does not officially have a Thieving Guild, however, the Rogue's Den is almost like a guild, seeing as it has a level 50+ thieving requirement to enter the maze and purchase items from Martin Thwait, the master of Thieving, and has the special Rogue's Den minigame.
 * Brian O'Richard is a play on the actor's name Richard O'Brien who used to host a popular UK TV program The Crystal Maze. He often played a harmonica while contestants were doing the puzzles. Brian O'Richard alludes to this by asking you to search for his harmonica when you first speak to him. No such item is known to exist.
 * World 77 seems to be the most popular world for training Thieving (maze running and safe cracking), Cooking and Firemaking in the Rogue's Den.
 * The den is sometimes very popular for training Firemaking; fires can be lit almost anywhere in the den's cavern, so this allows fast withdrawal of logs. (Fires cannot be lit in the buildings of most banks, other than the Grand Exchange)
