Talk:Steal

Working on Players

There was an article somewhere that gave an example of how stealing from players would work. Like if a thief stole the guardian's shield, that thief would then use it as a frisbee to strike multiple foes. But then it doesn't say whether the thief actually steals the shield, thereby disabling the guardians shield skills. (Xu Davella 06:11, 5 March 2011 (UTC))

It talked about a warrior, but yeah, I saw that too. Not sure, will possibly find out when it gets officially released. --ஸ Kyoshi 06:16, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

My hands are shaking with anticipation. :D (Xu Davella 06:18, 5 March 2011 (UTC))

I just had a thought about this skill. What if you could steal from an ally? That way if you was teamed with a guardian for example, and you knew what items you could get from said guardian, you could steal off them to gain a beneficial item to use against your foes. This would add new dynamics to teaming with a Theif. Providing your ally doesn't object of course :) - Rin Aki 13:57, 25 May 2011 (GMT)

"You don't actually steal an item, but rather create an environmental weapon." Though it would be interesting. Aqua (T|C) 13:00, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, no items will be removed from the target player. But if stealing from allies was possible, it's just good manners to ask first :) - Rin Aki 14:11, 25 May 2011 (GMT)

"Hey, do you mind if I steal a replica of your shield?" "Nah, go ahead." "Kthxbai :)" Zolann The Irreverent 00:43, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Compilation of available items to steal

I checked the Moa and Ogre pages, and nothing says what items can be stolen. Just the same, there's no link from here to somewhere of a compiled list of items you can steal, and from what - we should have people on this, compiling what you can steal from who, and what they do... I might make a Thief by its release, but at this point, the Steal skill is what's either going to draw me in or push me away. don't click on red Kiomadoushi 02:35, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

I am sure there will be a Steal project up and running close to release. - Infinite - talk 16:38, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

If there is a project to make a list of items you can steal at some point I would like to help the wiki with that. My main will be a thief and I wanted to make a research of "stealable" items and their effects since I knew about the skill. Lokheit 23:38, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

stealth

"So a thief may now steal a handful of feathers from a moa, store it for later use, continue using their regular skills, and at just the right time, use the feathers to blind the moa—or a new target—and stealth the thief." 2011 update.

Originally I thought this meant that the thief would enter stealth after using any stolen item, but after re reading it sounds as if stealth is entered after using feathers to blind someone. Which is it? --Moto Saxon 17:40, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Id say its just that case, an example of what could be done. Not that it has with stealing to do. Otherwise he would probably say that in a more precise way. Lhimez 18:06, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

If you remove the "—or a new target—" from it it says "use the feathers to blind the moa and stealth the thief." Seems pretty clear to me that it allows the thief to enter stealth upon using the feathers. Aqua (T|C) 18:24, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

We are yet to see, no? Lhimez 18:51, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

In a sentence, any part between m-dashes — much like parentheses — indicates a change of thought mid-sentence. It never interrupts the actual sentence nor does it alter its flow. Aqua is perfectly correct when stating the effect of the stolen Moa feathers, no mistake about it. - Infinite - talk 19:27, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Mkay. Kind of makes me sad. I like steal but wish it was a little more buffed. Adding a 3 second stealth would be nice - either after stealing or after using the stolen goods. Shadow step > steal > stealth > 30 sec recharge. --Moto Saxon 19:36, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

That wouldnt be an impossible trait. Also, steal can be used in stealth, if going unnoticed is what you want. Lhimez 19:55, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

More steal skills

Is there no one who figured out more stolen items through gameplay videos? it seems this page hasn't been updated in a long time.(--Rapid Sausage 10:47, 2 March 2012 (UTC))

Recharge Timer

So on this page the recharge timer claims to be 30 seconds. On the thief skills page the recharge is listed as 45. Which is correct? 131.151.180.169 20:14, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Sic tags on the deadly arts traits

Why are they there? That tag is for when something was misspelled or incorrectly labeled in the game, so that we can both have accurate information (correcting the error) while still having accurate journalism (exactly what the game says).

Either I'm missing something or those tags were placed incorrectly. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 184.155.205.118 (talk).

Stolen Skills lists

I added a list of stolen skills in addition to stolen skills by creature.Larynx 08:47, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Here is something to look at! [1] Woot --Starfleck 03:21, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Glitch When Stealing

I've had a reoccurring glitch when using steal and other skills that require shadow stepping. I've notice that if I shadow step to an enemy that is too close to a wall or other structural object that I sometimes glitch into that object and get completely stuck it is impossible to just shadow step back out.

Stolen Skills Icon

Anybody have a suggestion on how to get the skill icon for stolen skills without the 'F1' down at the bottom? Some of these icons are just from other sources online and I like to get a high quality image. relt 02:25, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Healing Seed

Today while farming Plinx I got a "Healing Seed" with steal,it spawned a tree that healed everyone nearby like the Healing Rain from Elementalists

That's also one of the things pigs can forage. Do you remember from which creature you got that? MithTalk 02:07, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Items from target list

I don't think I'll ever feel like adding the rest of this stuff to the mainspace ever, so I'm making its existence more known in case someone feels like adding it. Manifold 18:37, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Steal now requires a target

As of the Dec. 1st 2015 patch, steal no longer functions without a target selected ("You must have a target selected to use that skill" error). Not sure if this is a bug or an intended (and undocumented) change, so I'm just leaving it here rather than changing the article or patch notes at all. ---- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 05:26, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Feedback 2016/08/08

Endurance Thief, the last minor trait of Daredevil, also offers Steal benefits. --141.135.153.251 14:25, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Added it to the list, thanks for pointing it out! - Felix Omni 16:09, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
