Magnitude	13 points for 184
Form ID	0010FB80

Fortify Pickpocket is an effect provided by enchanted apparel or consumed potions. The percentage bonus is neither a simple addition nor multiplier of pickpocket chance, but rather a bonus to skill check used in the interaction.

EnchantmentEdit

Random (disenchantable) items carrying the effect have the suffix “of Deft Hands” and are either footgear, gloves, necklaces, or rings. Magnitude ranges from ‘Minor’ (15% bonus) to ‘Peerless’ (40%).

Player-made items can be of the same four classes, and the magnitude of enchantment benefits from the Insightful Enchanter perk.

Known non-random/named items bearing the enchantment:Edit

• Thieves Guild Boots — 15% (25% with upgraded version)
• Guild Master Boots — 35%

AlchemyEdit

Random potions that have this effect are named with the suffix “of Pickpocketing,” and magnitude ranges from simple Potion (20% bonus) to Elixir (50%).

IngredientsEdit

Two of the following ingredients are needed to craft a potion with the effect:

• Blue Dartwing
• Nordic Barnacle
• Orange Dartwing
• Slaughterfish Egg

Note that simply eating any of these ingredients will not give the effect, as none of the four have Fortify Pickpocket as its first effect.

BugsEdit

•  PC   360   PS3 Any form of Fortify Pickpocket actually subtracts x% from the success rate when it should be adding that same x% to the success rate.
  • E.g., Thieves Guild boots subtract 15% chance of success instead of adding 15%.
