The Knight of Ardougne is found in the East Ardougne market place. Their maximum melee hit is 60, and most are found attempting to chase away thieves. They will protect all stalls from the silk stall and up by attacking players that they observe stealing from them.
Knights of Ardougne can be pickpocketed at level 55 Thieving, giving the player 50 coins and 84.33 Thieving experience. The Gloves of Silence increase your success rate. Failing to pickpocket will result in being hit for 30 life points. They are a good source of Thieving experience for player with 55 to 65 Thieving. After that, players should steal from Menaphites using a Maple blackjack. Despite what some guides might say, if you only have access to Gloves of silence, not the Ardy Cloaks, this only tops the chests in the Thieves' Guild at 76 Thieving.
They can also be pickpocketed for strange rocks and court summons which is a very rare pickpocket from them.
A good strategy for thieving these knights is:
- Head to Ardougne marketplace.
- Attack a knight.
- Lure the knight into a house with stairs, there are several of these around the area.
- Close the door of the house once the knight is safely inside.
- Head up and down the stairs and equip any bow or crossbow but no arrows or bolts (This is to save you the convenience of having to run up and down the stairs each time you click "attack" instead of "pickpocket").
- Pickpocket the knight.
Note: This only works with the Knight that spawns on that side of the market.
Alternately, a player can lure a knight into the space next to the north wall of the Ardougne south bank, between the wall and the fence. Run completely around the bank and trap him in the space. The knight's roam range is only about halfway down the back of the bank, so he can easily be pickpocketed without moving. Remember to give him space to move every few minutes, to avoid triggering a respawn. This only works for knights originally found in the southwest corner of the marketplace.
