Watchmen are guards located on the middle floor of the Watchtower on the north-western end of Yanille. They can be attacked and pickpocketed at level 65 Thieving. Thieving from them yields 60 coins and bread along with 137.5 experience. The route outside of walls requires going west from Nightmare Zone. From inside the walls, walk north and follow the northern wall and use the underwall tunnel, requiring 16 Agility, or climbing rocks, requiring 5 Agility, then walk west to the Watchtower. On the north side of the building, climb the trellis, requiring 18 Agility, to the middle floor of the Watchtower.

Strategy

Due to the bread always dropping from a successful pickpocket, bring some food to start, then you can stay in the Watchtower pickpocketing and eating the bread without having to refill at the bank in Yanille. Trap the watchmen in the north or north-west of the room along the beds. Allow them to walk on the 2 tiles between the beds to avoid them despawning, which happens if they stand still for 5 minutes.

With a constant source of food, the ability to solo trap them and the higher number of them in a small area, this is more idle than a Knight of Ardougne in East Ardougne, though it does have a higher failure rate.

The location to trap them.
