Does Stealing Lower The Drop Rate ?
Does Stealing lower the drop rate ?
When a THF steals from a mob say Goblin wolfman or Swiftbelt nm's does it lower the rate of the item ?
As far as I know and should think... they are mutually exclusive events. Success or failure on a steal attempt has no bearing on the success or failure of seeing an item drop.
I only have THF at lvl 20 on my alt but when I was in the very early levels in Sarutabaruta I would often steal Saruta Cotton from Mandragora and then they would drop the same item when killed.I earned quite a bit of gil that way :)
I would say from my brief experience that stealing has no detrimental effect on drop rates.

ya, I've been duoing on my DNC with a THF for 30 levels now and never really noticed a big correlation between steal and drops. He does make a good amount of money with it, though...I'm jealous! ^^
Being a 75 thf i dont feel that it lowers the drop rate but maybe it seems that way to u cause u can only use it every 5 minutes anyways
In my experience as thief, I have seen no effect of stealing affecting drop rates, regardless of success rate. The same I feel would apply to mug. I remember some guy got butthurt that thieves or /thfs would mug gods for gil saying it hurt drop rates, so we just loled at him.
I just lol at THFs

Yes, and thank God for accomplice, saved my *** a few times now while I was getting my face kicked in. ^^
I bet you its not as good as some DDs get....say....NIN, WAR, SAM....or like BRD invites lol
I don't really have much THF experience, but Ive had the same item drop after Ive successfully used steal, so I wouldn't say it lowers the rate.
Korpg why is it the majority of your posts are totally useless in every respect?

Cause I'm bored, and there isn't anything better to do than to /laugh at people.

There fixed.
Edit:
Oh and yeah.. I'm pretty sure it has no affect on drop rate. An easier way to look at this: When you mug a mob it still drops the same amount of gil it had before.

No.
Agreeing with the above posts, i'd say that they're seperate events; my experience as THF falls alongside that at any rate. Though to be honest I tend to forget that Steal & Mug are even there XD.
Korpg, a while ago you posted a general apology to FFXIAH, so what happened? Just stop, no sensible person carries on carefree while they shame themselves with every 2nd word they speak. =/.
*edit: Huzzah, yet another avatar for Woooodum. That's a good'un too =)

I think he was just trying to get in a linkshell then and was trying to look like a changed person for that?

Awesome, I was going to use this same example. During inflation, it wasn't a bad way to make extra gil. IMHO, i don't think they have anything to do with one another.

as far as i know it doesnt help the drop rate in any way .. and unlike many of the jobs you mention thf can solo a lot and thank god some ppl dont have the opinion you have about the job... jesus you are a blue mage rofl wait... how are your parties invites lately... well at least you can solo imps 1 day if you hit 75 , no offense meant with this to any blue's out there
Time to hand out some kudos!

God Bless guys for giving me something to laugh about...
On a related note, having leveled both jobs.... a THF will definitely see a pt invite before BLU...
