ew crap....

Damn.. that kinda sucks.. very rarely do people come and kill the mobs there.. ive been stealing from the same 2 mobs for a few hours and wondered why ><

But i coulda sworn i stole another coin like 2 hours later from the same mob, and it didnt die >.x

You can in fact steal mutliple times from the same mob, BUT your success chance drops by a huge margin if you try that.

This has been tested in a 6x thief party on worms (I think). And they managed to steal multiple pebbles, but it got harder every time they managed to steal one.

I wanna read those tests.

yea mythril beastcoins rock. from level 32-37 i made 34k while leveling. got 2 stacks of them. just steal from every antican

oh yea and i found that my highest success rates in stealing from them are when i am directly infront of them.

As do I. Been a thief for a year now and never once seen more than one successful steal from a mob.

I too would love to see those tests. Never, ever seen it happen. As far as platinum goes, I was totally curious about that. I'm 71, and saw those VT/IT gobs in newton molvapolos...might have to drag an xp party there (better than spiders in dragon's aery for loot)

Sometimes I feel like making "A Thieves Guide to Leveling - how to end up in an area where you can steal good loot at any level"

...i swear if I could play this game for a living there would be so much better scientifically tested info about thieves out there.

That was something I read on this very forum almost a year ago before I had even started playing thief. Good luck on finding anything about it. Of course you could try it yourself.

Random note: I picked my Ozstroza Coffer at 50 with ~8 Thieve's Tools used. Same with Monastic Cavern, except for only taking 2 or 3.
