This article is about the dwarf trader. For other uses, see Trader (disambiguation).

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, an activity 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

From 9 September 2009, players can pickpocket the traders. This requires a Thieving level of 90 and gives 556.5 experience if successful. The odds of success when pickpocketing traders seem to be better than elves and heroes. If a player fails to pickpocket a dwarf trader, they will be stunned for a few seconds and dealt 10 damage. There are trade floor guards around which will attack you if you fail to pickpocket the trader. The best way to handle these is to attack them with low level weapons and lure them into a nearby room to trap them. This way you can thieve without being bothered.

Players can gain up to 181,000 experience an hour from thieving dwarf traders at level 99 Thieving. 447,000 experience an hour can be gained if using the Crystal Mask spell and light form prayer while thieving from traders with level 99 Thieving. Using a Trahaearn exoskeleton set, Master Camouflage outfit, Soul-in-a-box, black ibis, abyssal lurker familiars, an Ardougne cloak 4, and a legendary five-finger discount aura in addition to crystal mask and light form at level 99 a player can gain 1,000,000 thieving experience an hour.

-Pickpocketing traders can yield both very high experience rates and a sizable profit. An [[Ardougne cloak]] (3 or 4) will significantly improve a player's success rate when pickpocketing the traders, as well as [[gloves of silence]]. Using these two items, players should be able to gain over 180,000 experience an hour.

-With the [[Trahaearn exoskeleton set]] and the best items below it is possible to get approximately 380 - 440k Thieving Experience per hour here.
-===Recommended equipment===
-It is recommended that players who plan on pickpocketing traders bring a number of items to maximise their experience and profit rate.
+Players can gain up to 181,000 experience an hour from thieving dwarf traders at level 99 Thieving. 447,000 experience an hour can be gained if using the [[Crystal Mask]] spell and [[light form]] prayer while thieving from traders with level 99 Thieving. Using a [[Trahaearn exoskeleton set]], Master Camouflage outfit, [[Soul-in-a-box]], [[black ibis]], [[abyssal lurker]] familiars, an [[Ardougne cloak 4]], and a [[legendary five-finger discount aura]] in addition to [[crystal mask]] and light form at level 99 a player can gain '''1,000,000''' thieving experience an hour.
-* The [[Ardougne cloak 3]] (or [[Ardougne cloak 4|4]]) provides an increased success chance when pickpocketing throughout ''[[RuneScape]]''.
-* [[Bandit's brew]], [[Sq'irk juice]], or the [[Thieving skillcape]] can also help your overall Thieving level and probability of pickpocketing. Alternatives include [[Magpie]] or [[Abyssal Lurker]] familiars and their scrolls, boosting Thieving by 2 and 4 respectively. Boosting your Thieving level to 100 or higher may allow you to double-pickpocket traders (with 90 Agility).
-* [[Gloves of silence]] will also improve the wearer's rate of success when pickpocketing. If a player does not want to use gloves of silence, then it is recommended that they use a [[regen bracelet]] to conserve food. Many players prefer using the regen bracelet over the gloves of silence however, due to the rapid rate of which the gloves deteriorate, and the seemingly minimal effect the gloves have on the chances of pickpocketing traders.
-* The [[Black Ibis outfit]] obtained from [[Pyramid Plunder]]. Provides a 1% boost with one piece up to a full 5% boost with all four pieces.
-* The [[Trahaearn exoskeleton set]] that increases successful pickpockets (the set includes gloves, so cannot be combined with gloves of silence)
-* The [[Five-Finger discount aura]]
