I was trying out some stuff for this thief run, to differentiate it from the world record and try out some different strats.

You need 250 climbing for the blackbird.

You need 275 lockpicking to get the key to the prison cell.

You need one of 275 strength, 250 strength+275 throwing, or the force bolt spell to get the bonsai bush.

You get 100 lockpicking experience for cracking the safe each time.

You get 200 climbing experience each time you climb the town gate.

You get 12 climbing experience each time you climb a tree in the forest.

You get 12 lockpicking experience each time you pick a random lock.

I decided to try out the magic route this time around. The downside to magic is that I cannot start with climbing or lockpicking above 200, so they spend more time training. Still, magic is useful in a lot of small ways everywhere.

I also tried doing my climbing and lockpicking grinds exclusively on the 100/200 experience grind spots.
