Stealing Fix

[Flash Hardstar]

Ok, I just spent 3 minutes posting on the pvp discrepency topic so I had UO in the bar line. I was standing on top of 2 bankers in the east brit bank, come back IN 3 MINUTES and a thief had cleared out my entire backpack, (which was alot of shit) including my trap pouches LOL! This was all within a tile of 2 bankers and a guard. Fix please? This is not t2a era accurate. I'll get back to this another time though.. too busy on other posts so if somebody else wants to go at it, go for it!

EDIT: she also had her bank open the whole time dropping things in, WAY OFF T2A ERA ACCURACY!

Thats strange, because i was macroing at the mage place in brit next to the vendors in there, and someone tried stealing from me 5 times (LOL) each time getting thwacked by guards that the npcs spawned, are you sure they hadnt walked away from you at that time?

[BlackFoot]

npcs shoudl call guards if they have line of sight i think

Heres a tip....

Don't go afk at any bank, let alone Brit, with shit in your bag.
Come on people enough with this threads bitching about thieves. I havent had one thing (besides maybe 10 regs) stolen off my Bard because im careful, I go to less popular banks, and when I do have to goto brit bank I hide, or bank my shit quickly.

If a thief steals an item no problem and no one notices then guards cant and wont be called, looks like you got robbed by a lucky thief.

If its a perfect steal they won't call guards... I remember stealing mortar and pestles off of deja vu's poisoner as he was macroing in brit bank... *thanks for like 50 gm pestles btw* and never getting whacked

STAY AWAY FROM BRIT

Stealing containers would be inacurrate.

Stealing containers would be inacurrate.

Not exactly. Containers were stealable all the way from the introduction of the game up until AoS came out. It was long established that the only way to steal blessed items for the majority of that time was to steal the container that they were in, and it was something that occurred on several occasions early on.

I don't remember the finer points on container stealing, but I do remember if an item like a spellbook was in a container, the item could be stolen. I got my first few full spellbooks this way from people restocking their vendors back in the day.

Yep Yep.

Perfect Steal means no Guards.

Containers were indeed stealable up until AoS came out effectively making the Stealing skill as Valid as Herding... Oh and lets not get on item insurance..

As annoying as thieves are they are as I remembered them. Course pack thieves are lame imo. lol

For some reason your statement of pack thieves just made me think of a horde of 10-20 thieves tressed in black and yellow rushing up to someone and each stealing from him all while emoting *Buzz* like a bee.
