Ogre coffins are coffins located in the level one basement of Jiggig and just outside Jiggig directly south. The coffins can be opened by either of two means:

• Picking the lock requires level 20 Thieving, yielding 27 experience. Failing to pick the lock yields 1 Thieving experience and lowers your Thieving stat temporarily.
• Opening the coffin using an ogre coffin key. Keys are obtained from drops by zogres and skogres in Jiggig, or through gambling in Soul Wars.

Picking the coffin lock

Thieving level	20	Thieving XP	27 XP	Stun time / damage	0s / -1 Thieving lvl
Loot
Main article: § Possible loot

The locks cannot be picked whilst in combat; attempting to do so will display the message: You're in mortal danger, Thieving is the last thing on your mind.

Each time you fail and your fingers get numb, your Thieving level will be temporarily drained by 1-4 levels. Note that this drain will stack with itself, and if your Thieving level drops below 20, you will no longer be able to pick the lock. Failure is frequent even at level 99 Thieving, so expect a significant drain. Lowered Thieving levels can be restored by drinking super restore potions or via other means such as the bloated leech and blood drain scrolls.

If picking the locks outside of the barricaded entrance to Jiggig, near the ogre guards, there is the possibility upon failed attempts that you will be caught. If this happens, you will be knocked unconscious and thrown down a chute, and will awaken inside the basement.

Prayer experience

The bones found in the coffins give a very large amount of Prayer experience. These can be especially useful when used on a gilded altar or taken to the Ectofuntus for the extra prayer bonus. Based on a sample size of 2560, that the average profit for looting 100 coffins using keys would result in 148,400 coins, ignoring the other rewards, since they are either untradeable or very cheap.

Bones		XP	Chance
	Zogre bones	22.5	49.96%
	Fayrg bones	84	10.86%
	Raurg bones	96	7.66%
	Ourg bones	140	3.75%

Possible loot

When looting a coffin, the bones table and the other table are rolled separately. While it is most common to receive one item from each table, it is also possible to receive just one item, or even to occasionally get nothing.
