I started with the Dies Arcanum Brotherhood, I have a 14 (good) with them. When will I be able to learn pick pocketing?

Ok it's a long road unsubbed but here's how it goes...

You have to keep track of the lady with the magnifying glass ie watch for cases that give you a change in faction standing.

Let's use La Cosa Nostra (LCN).

Stop doing little job questions for Dies Arcanum.
Quit any cases that LCN would prefer to go away.
Solve any cases they would like you to solve.

^ this will take days.

If you aren't keen on quitting any of your four cases for the day then over a period of time, as long as you don't do any little jobs for Dies, the game will eventually (in my experience and opinion) even itself out and you'll get to the point where you are +1 with either LCN or OoS.

^ this will take weeks.

And that's about the size of it.

Thanks...
I haven't really planned on getting on the better side with A paticular faction. But it is helpful to know how you can actually go back on good terms with a faction you have low standings with.

Technically, it's possible to be in good standing with multiple factions at one time (in one city). I've been as high as +20 with two different factions at the same time. It's very, very difficult to be in good standing with all three factions in a city at once though, especially at a high level (+10 or more).
