Pickpocketing Sanguine Leaping[edit]

I can't seem to pickpocket this item from this Khajiit. I have 100 sneak, 100 security, 90 agility, and 52 luck. He always caught me and won't let me steal it from him. I also encounter this problems from other quest items(tried to take back the 7 golden eggs from the dude in fighters guild). Is it just me? -Aven 10:15, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

No, it's not only you. Right now, it's the last Sanguyin artefact I haven't got already and I'm in hell trouble to get it by pickpocketting. I'm level 52, 100 sneak, 100 security, 100 agility, 87 Luck. I've also a 1 sec 500% Chameleon spell I cast on myself right before my pickpocket attempt. I've 0/500 encumbrance, and my fatigue bar is full. I'm as far from him as possible, and always on his back.
But still, even with ALL this, ALL these amazing stat and conditions, HE STILL CAUGHT ME.
I never get trouble "seeing" his inventory, but when picking his shoes, immediately fail...
The only thing I could improve naturally would be Luck from 87 to 100.
I've also 100 Intelligence, 100 Alchemy, and 100 Enchanting, and I'm planning to go to extreme limit with spell/enchant/potion putting my Luck/Agility/Sneak/Security to insane amount (like 500 or more).
If it's STILL not enough (like the requirement wasn't already insane), then I will officially claim that pickpocketing the shoes from Dro'Zaymar is just IMPOSSIBLE. 90.58.86.222 16:00, 26 March 2013 (GMT)
I did it on my fifth try with 100 sneak, 100 luck, 40% chameleon. He was facing away from me. I'm not using MCP, just the official patches, without the expansion packs. Anyway, it's not IMPOSSIBLE. -- 67.168.145.128 00:25, 26 May 2013 (GMT)
Just thought I'd chime in as I've gone back to Morrowind after years of Oblivion and Skyrim. While pickpocketing [Dro'Zaymar[Morrowind:Dro'Zaymar]] is difficult, especially for lower level characters and particularly those inclined towards warrior stats / skills, I'd have to concur with 67.168.145.128. I've never been much good at sneaking or pickpocketing in Morrowind; really, I'm only just learning how to do it effectively (ah well, it's only taken me a decade) but I managed to peacefully grab the shoes. I play on Xbox One, no mods, just the Tribunal expansions. My stats at the time of trying:
Lvl 50 Breton {f}
Attributes Skills Enchantments
Agility: 80 Sneak (Misc. skill): 71 Exquisite Amulet: Chameleon 12% (constant effect)
Luck: 63 Illusion (Minor skill): 71 Exquisite Ring (x2): Chameleon 24% each (constant effect)
I think that covers everything relevant to pickpocketing. I simply crouched at the door, cast my Chameleon spell (10% for 30 secs), giving me a total of 70% Chameleon, and then waited for poor Dro'Zaymar to turn his back before I nabbed the shoes. I did have to try it twice with a reload but it worked just fine the second time. Didn't even have to Calm him. I only thought to check here because I notice that Raig's page says (bold is mine):

Unfortunately, the only way to find out what Raig is talking about is to kill Dro'Zaymar.

I get that this method is tricky and requires putting a lot of effort into Illusion, Sneak and possibly even Enchant (I can't honestly offer an opinion on whether I could have done it without the enchantments since neither Enchant nor Illusion are skills I'm used to using) but I calling it the only method is a little dishonest, at least without offering the alternatives. It almost put me off trying to since I like to play through without unnecessary kills wherever possible but it turns out, a bit of experimentation and hey presto! n_n --Maranwé (talk) 12:17, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
