Gold can be quite hard to come by at times, especially if you\u2019re not the type to constantly explore the world, looting items and selling them to nearby vendors. Though one way to get it quickly without going through all that hassle of carrying the extra weight is pickpocketing. While there\u2019s always a chance you can fail the Sleight of Hand check and have the NPCs gang up on you, savescumming allows you to repeat the process till you get all the items you want. But in Honor Mode, that\u2019s definitely not the case. That said, one player has shared a pickpocketing trick involving using a Hireling that guarantees you\u2019ll have gold in a safe way, regardless of what kind of run. The first thing you\u2019ll want to do is go to Withers and hire a Halfling named Brinna Brightsong due to Lightfoot Halflings having advantage on Stealth Checks. The next step is to keep her as a bard but respec her stats to 16\/17\/8\/10\/8\/14. \u201cChoose Stealth, Sleight of Hand, and Persuasion for Skill Proficiencies. Make sure you pick up the Minor Illusion cantrip, and Disguise Self &#038; Longstrider as starting spells, the rest really don\u2019t matter,\u201d the user explained. Upon reaching level 3, choose the College of Lore subclass. Then, choose Sleight of Hand and Stealth as Skill expertise again, pick up Invisibility as the level 2 spell, and swap one of the level 1 spells with Enhance Ability as you\u2019ll be \u201cusing Cat\u2019s Grace for advantage on Dex rolls.\u201d They added: \u201cAt level 4, Choose the Athlete Feat and increase Dex to 18. Equip Silver Pendant, Gloves of Power, Smugglers Ring, and Leather Armour +1, all easy to find in Act 1. Now you should have a base +11 to Sleight of Hand and +11 to Stealth skills.\u201d To complement her stats and equipment, the player suggested that you cast Enhance Ability \u2013 Cat\u2019s Grace on Brinna so \u201cshe can use her concentration for Guidance from the Silver Pendant.\u201d With all that settled, leave your group at camp and have Brinna \u201cgo out to solo traders\u201d in places you\u2019ve already cleared by herself with Disguise Self. From here, start from extinguishing light sources, find an area to hide, then go Turn-Based Mode to pickpocket. With your advantage and bonuses with Brinna, you should have no problem snatching the NPC\u2019s items away. In a worst-case scenario, if you do get caught, the player suggested to choose attack then pop invisibility and run away. After that, just wait until the NPCs stop being temporarily hostile so you can repeat the process all over again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 pickpocket trick guarantees you\u2019ll \u201cnever\u201d be poor Larian StudiosOne Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player has shared how to easily pickpocket and snatch gold from NPCs even in an Honor Mode run.
