Stealing from Monsters

Publish 57, December 2008 introduced the ability to steal various items from monsters:

• A given monster can be stolen from once in its lifetime
• There is no backpack to snoop, use random steal and target the monster.
• Gold, bandages, gems, potions, scrolls
• Thieves with GM skills or higher have a chance at stealing rare items
  • Seed of Life, Mana Draught, Gem of Salvation, Balm of Strength, Balm of Wisdom, Balm of Swiftness, Balm of protection, Stone Skin Lotion and Life Shield Lotion.

Drop rate on stealables:

• GM Stealing: 2%
• 100.1 to 110 Stealing: 5%
• 110.1 to 119.9 Stealing: 8%
• 120.0 Stealing: 10%

Stealing Bonus based on monster fame

For the purposes of stealing, a monster’s fame is now scaled from 1 to 40 (previous fame levels 1 to 5). Level 40 being the equivalent of 30,000 fame points. The higher the fame level, the higher the stealing bonus.

Stealing bonus by fame level:

0 % below level 15
1% below level 25
2% below level 35
3% below level 40
5% at level 40

So a thief with 120 skills stealing from a level 40 monster would have a 15% chance of obtaining a rare drop.

• Players cannot steal twice from the same monster
• Rare items only drop in Fel Dungeons and Champ Spawn areas (all facets)
