    /BST charm = /THF steal?

    anyone noticed better steal rates with the job at 75 as opposed to 37 even when subbed? Much like it is very easy to charm mobs with BST at 75 as opposed to 37.

    i have PLD75 and BST75, as i was LVLing BST i would sub it occasionally, and i noticed from lv35+, that charm rate was much much higher as my BST got higher in LVL, i dont know why... it just is...

    i could prob charm just as much on PLD/BST as i could on BST/NIN or WHM

    A logical explanation for this would be that there's probably a hidden skill for Charming, and possibly one for Stealing if what you're suggesting is correct Dezz.

    Do you use it often (maybe you need to "skill up")?

    75 thf and I cant steal shit

    maybe it has something to do with the fact I dont have all my AF1 yet.




    But I think a good way to test this is with mug. You can mug as DRK75/THF37, and then find someone who is DRK75/THF75 and see it.

    No, steal always sucks. 75 or /37, it sucks. I've seen plenty of other jobs steal dynamis currency where I've failed the entire run. It's complete trash and probably the only fix thief will get in the next couple updates >.>

    Take it from me, Not only does his steal miss 100% of the time... so does his TH2.

    Way long ago when I needed gil, I would go 75BLM/THF and steal gold coins in monsaic cavern or w/e and the area above it where the windy mission NM spawns, I would get 1 coin about every hour.

    THF I knew at the time got a lot more than that in the same time.

    However, this brings up the 'if you steal once from the mob, can you steal again?' I never killed a mob there, because i was gimp as shit back then, so I usually picked diffrent targets each time not knowing if someone had already stolen from it.

    I never got a real answer on that question above, or what stats effect steal if any. lol, I remember reading FFXIO and it sais that INT and CHR were the stats.

    When something is stolen, the monster must die before you can steal from them.

    That's because all monsters dont have a gobbiebag, and just stuff pennies between their bosoms.

    Fine w/ me. If it means I can leave Dynamis Sando with more than 0.2 successful steals in 42 attempts (210/5) I'll be happy. Though I usually get about 35-37 steals per run, since I dont always get to use it when its up, thats still fucking pathetic. Steal+13(16 when latent) (AF1 head 1, Rabbit Chram 1, Thf Kote 3, Rogue's Ring when latented 3, Key Ring Belt 1, AF2 pants 5, AF1 feet 2) and I get the similar shit steal rate as a DRK/THF.
