Legend[]
- § = items that you always receive from the target.
- One Valuable Item = a random item that includes items at least as valuable as Potent potions, runes (up to Grandmaster), high-end jewelry, or gold.
Notes[]
- Stealing mechanics are explained on the main article's talk page.
- Failed stealing attempts will have consequences and lead to random encounters.
- Stealing from Orange/Yellow Enemies (Master Stealing) can yield very valuable loot. For example, stealing from the Ogres in the Brecilian woods yielded Clear and Flawless grade Crystals.
