Ah, but you can win with poisons. A fine poison on a cheap blade would be almost as good as a fine blade itself. But I hear poison is a woman's weapon.

Also, what kind of "rare items" are you pickpocketing from city guards? They'll occasionally carry a random amulet, or maybe a silver ring or something, but those are hardly rare, and definitely not worth much.
