I wouldn't be surprised if this has been suggested already; but I haven't seen a topic even close to it yet.
Caravans are relatively difficult, give good experience and sometimes skill points. However, your bounty from thieving them is rarely much. Why would a caravan bother with 50 gold anyways? I would imagine there's a better bounty to be had; and I doubt a proper thief would over-look this fact ;)
I'd like to suggest that caravans drop - if not more gold or resources - a possible artifact. Below are the details of how this could work:
Your Thief level determines the possibility of a drop, the same way Hunter's Guild works. The quality of the art will also be determined by your Thief level. To determine the quality of a given art, they should be separated into "tiers." For example, tier 0 would be wooden sword and wooden shield; tier 1 would include light axe, steel blade, all leathers,; tier 2 would include reprisal sword, dagger of vengeance, amulet of luck; etc... Tiers can be further refined based on the idea that at maximum Thief level caravans can drop Thief arts. This could also be tweaked so that every other Thief level increases available arts as drops.
The tier of a possible drop will be directly related to your Thief level. At 0, you can only get tier 0 drops; though at tier 3 you could get tier 0-3 drops and so on.
Most of these early arts would not be very beneficial to the person receiving them; however it would insert more low-level arts into the system. Some of those are valued as they are hard to find on the map these days. That is not to say, however, that they are impossible to get now.
This is only for PvE ambushes. PvP ambushes have a good reason for thieving little gold, and there is no reason to get any more from them. |

Strike this portion. The previous statement negates this as a definite. Tier of drops and Thief level should be directly related... but not necessarily 1:1. |
great idea, please implement now.
cause right now thiefing is so expensive and the rewards are not great.
i know a thief arts per lvl but this is not nearly as much as the costs we all have |
| I totally agree with you. Great idea. This could transform thieving in a good thing. Now it's really dangerous and sometimes a great waste of money. |
| I totally agree with you...cos wanna become theif the condition is so hard...then should come out more surprise and reward as you said....drop some art is good idea...wanna become theif we need burn a lot of money...especially for me...quite lousy on it...caravan are too though for me...they too strong... |
| I have suggested this before and yes good idea. |
| Hopefully admin can get some changing on theif rewards...really expect can get more on it... |
| Hope I didn't undercut you MasterTI :) If I had known... ^^; |
