Bad Luck or Does Steal Suck?

[Johji]

Every time I use Galdo's Steal ability it literally misses. I've hit a few times with it but it's usually just a miss. Am I just having bad luck? Also, any way to boost his chances of hitting the steal?

[WickedRequiem]

There are better versions of the ability (I can't recall the name, exactly).
Of course, those abilities cost more SP to use, so...

Can't think of anything else.

[ShinkuTear]

Steal and the alternate versions have somewhat poor success rates, sadly.

I think the success rate is influenced by his Luck and/or Hit stats?

[Johji]

Seize would probably be a lot better if it weren't for the fact that it's pretty much glitched into non-existance, or so i've heard. I'll have to try that though, thanks.

those really have poor success rate

as i remebered the higher tier skills have shifted percentages for rare steals(!) .... so if a enemy hasnt any rare steals you probably will never get an item....so you have to consider that too.

+ taking secret character #2 to your party and just spam these skill will eventually get you the item

it sucked for Gem farming but bear with it (if it is you are currently after) cuz the 10.000 kills are far more annoying

[Johji]

Yeah, can't wait to get all those kills. Will probably have to do that while getting 100,000,000 gold anyway so I guess it'll work out. After I'm dead that is. I only really needed the steal skills for Collector 2. Thankfully I have the DLC and could just go to the lvl 750-900 dungeon.

I just used Seize 6 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ times in a row on the same Ice Hawk bird in Lusamundo Ice Cave and all were miss. I think is glitched af

if you are trying to steal a Earth Stone from a Earth Golem its going to fail because he is a "rare" enemy even though he is always there. I have found a better way to go is to increase your drop rate by unlocking the Godesse's Blessing abuility and equiping fairies that increase drop rates and just kill the Earth Golems. I have only been at it 5 min and already have hade 2 Earth Stones drop where I had no dops with steal in the last hour.
