The '''Rogues' Den''' is located in Taverley. There is a trapdoor inside [[The Pick and Lute]] bar at the north-east corner that gives access to the den. A player needs to have level 75 [[Thieving]] and [[Agility]] and level 50 [[Herblore]] to access the [[Flash Powder Factory]] within the Den.

==Transportation==
[[The Pick and Lute]], with the entrance to the Rogues' Den, is near the centre of Taverley.

*The fastest way to get there is the [[Teleport to House]] spell or [[Teleport to house|tablet]]. Alternatively, after completion of [[Love Story]], one may use a [[Taverley tablet]] to get to the [[house portal]].
*Use [[Home Teleport|Taverley Home Teleport]], then walk straight east into the house.
*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.
Please note that you cannot enter Rogues' Den while in Burthorpe tutorial mode. If so, trying to open the trapdoor will result in a dialogue with [[Ruth Savage]] preventing you from entering. The tutorial mode can be turned off in the tasks interface options.

With the introduction of the Lodestone Network on March 13, 2012, you can now tele right outside if you choose the Taverly Home Teleport.

==Personalities==
*[[Emerald Benedict]] provides free banking services.
*[[Martin Thwait]] is the master of [[Thieving]] and runs a [[Martin Thwait's Lost and Found|shop]] with various thieving tools and light weapons. He also sells the [[Thieving cape]] and [[Thieving hood|hood]] for 99,000 coins to players who reach level 99 thieving.
*[[Brian O'Richard]] controls access to the [[Flash Powder Factory]].

==Features==
The highlight of the den is the [[Flash Powder Factory]] activity. This game can reward players with Agility, Thieving and Herblore experience, as well as [[Rogue kit]]s, [[Rogue equipment]] and the [[Factory outfit]].

Four [[wall safe]]s are in the centre of the den. Players can try to crack the safes. Success means they receive 70 thieving experience and also randomly get an uncut [[gem]] ([[sapphire]] to [[diamond]]) or gold [[coins]] (10, 20, 40 or 50 coins). Failure means they trigger a trap and take a small amount of damage. [[Stethoscope]]s, which Martin Thwait sells, help with cracking the safes. When cracking safes with no failures, around 1500 experience can be earned per minute resulting in 90,000 experience per hour, but this rate should be significantly lowered by failures. Also, one cracking attempt often takes longer. Players with a high [[Thieving]] level may get up to 350,000 coins per hour using this method with a [[stethoscope]].

Lower the camera angle all the way down and face north (or reverse for opposite side). Also turn on sound effects. Then you can click without moving the mouse and simply listen for when you need to click again. Make sure you have custom cursor turned on in the graphics menu. This can improve speed. Also [[Gloves of silence]] (54 [[Hunter]] required) seem to help a lot. Many players summon [[Magpie]]s (47 [[Summoning]] required) as they will forage gems and rings for you while playing. If you trigger a trap, you can right-click the floor and press "Search Floor". It will disarm the trap for a few seconds but will drain 1 thieving point.

A perpetual [[Fire]] is located near Emerald Benedict. This makes the den a favoured 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==
[[File:Rogues den fire.png|thumb|The perpetual fire in use.]]
*[[Brian O'Richard]] is a play on the actor's name [[Wikipedia:Richard O'Brien|Richard O'Brien]] who used to host a popular UK TV program [[Wikipedia:The Crystal Maze|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.
*The den is sometimes very popular for [[Firemaking training|training Firemaking]]; [[Fire|fires]] can be lit almost anywhere in the den's cavern, so this allows fast withdrawal of [[logs]]. [[Fire]]s cannot be lit in the buildings of most [[Bank|banks]], other than the [[Grand Exchange]] and [[Fist of Guthix]] lobby.
*The [[fire]] in the Rogue's Den is one of the most popular spots for [[Cooking training|training cooking]]. This is due to the fact that the [[fire]] doesn't go out and it is near a [[Emerald Benedict|bank]].
*The Rogue's Den is often referred to as the Thieving Guild, however with the release of [[Buyers and Cellars]] an official [[Thieves' Guild]] was established below [[Lumbridge]].
*The fire in the Rogue's Den cannot be used as a bonfire, including all other everlasting fires in RuneScape.
