Before you begin, gain enough experience to unlock the Pilfer Skill in the skill tree. It will make this achievement easier.

Load mission 2: The Doors Of Korrangar on discovery difficulty.
At the beginning of the mission slide down the rope to your right.
Hop down onto the black roof below and the game will save.
Hop through the opening in the ceiling, down the stairs (to the right).
You'll see a guard straight ahead with a vial of amber on them.
Sneak behind them and grab it.
Get caught or jump off a ledge and repeat 9 more times.

You can also get the achievement "This. Is. THOBEN!" if you wait for the guard to walk to the ledge in front of them.
If you are going for that achievement too, jump off the cliff after you push them.
Rinse and repeat 9 more times

Some enemies carry items that you can visually see on their belt. If you crouch and sneak up behind them, a option will appear allowing you to pickpocket them.

The very first guard in the Prologue mission has a Vial of Life on his belt. You cannot miss him as an automated sequence occurs as you progress where you see two guards attack a goblin and then move to stationary posts where they never move again (unless alerted). If you walk anywhere near the closest guard a tutorial will pop up about how to perform muffled kills. Crouch, get close enough to see the pickpocket option, Quick Save your game, then do the action. Wait for the circular save icon to stop spinning in the top right of your screen then Load Last Game from the main menu to do it again. It took me 2 minutes to do this 10 times. The trophy will unlock immediately.

Some of the enemies throughout the game will often time have health vials, acid vials, or even amber vials hanging on the belt pouch around their waist. In order to pick an item off their person, you will need to get close behind them and tap when the prompt appears.

Make sure you are crouching and moving slowly while picking pockets. The enemies in this game have keen perception and will notice your presence if you’re running around behind them. Additionally, should the circumstance call for it, you can always use amber vision by pressing to spot, from afar, whether a guard has any goods worth stealing. Overall, once you have pickpocketed a total of ten enemies, the achievement will unlock.

Find a guard at the railing (for example in the prologue), make a save right behind your back and voila... press triangle - it's stolen, you reload, and so on ten times
