Effect of stealing (pickpocket)

[Big2kSmoke]

Sometimes when I attempt to steal (Private Mode on or off, doesnt matter) a message appears that my actions have negative effects on the relationsship or that the relationship has changed to my party members. But this is very rare. Most of the time when I steal nothing happens. No message, just nothing.

So does it always hurt the relationship to my party members when I steal or only when this message appears? Is there a way to see how good or bad my relationship to my party members is?

Not sure about the random chance of hurting friendship meter via pickpocketing, but you can get to see the friendship meter by going to the Status menu & press Square/X to switch page.

Weird could've sworn that Private Mode would prevent it from effecting relationships unless you try to steal directly from that character.

Theres a consumable that prevents relationship loss while pickpocketing.

[Big2kSmoke]

Where can I get it and what is it called?

[Neon Glowboy]

you lose a small amount of relationship with every >attempt<

Yes, stealing lowers how much yer party respects you
Thought PAs prevented it, but maybe they changed it to a random chance if they are within line of sight?

^As they posted just make this food item and you will not lose any friendship when pickpocketing. There is one for contraband, too.

Even with friendship boosting item you won't be able to get 1 of the endings I forget which I think it was called the perfect ending because pick pocketing will effect the last heart and the friendship book won't work on the last heart, so make sure to not pickpocket closer to end game is my tip so you can get enough private actions to fill up the last heart before the game ends.

in the original every 100 battles the friendship level was increased by 1.
While annoying with 8 characters, you can do it if you want the last point for the special ending

I believe this one is an unverified rumor that is believed to be false, but some bosses did boost the fight participants by +1.

Fortunately, because there are food that prevent pickpocket and contraband from decreasing relationship it makes it really easy to keep them all high.

This seems to be the one that does prevent for Contrabrand, at least on Switch. What is the pick-pocketing one?

Don't have game up right now but I believe Fruit > Meat? OR Fruit + whatever is just above Vegatables in the list as they're both using Fruit first and second ingredient's are right by one another.

You can just teach people how to actually do it in game with item creation and PA manip instead of outright encouraging people to use tools that break TOS and can break their experience ?

I don't have a problem with people using these tools, but I do believe promoting them is crass and not allowed.

"just bypass X with cheats"
"...I still don't know how to do X in game"

its a single player game./ stop trying to shame people for giving an alternative to wasting your time grinding out items and trying to fenagle around the terrible friendship meter system.
