Since the patch in June that killed the stealth-thieft template, I moved to a "tank-thieft" activity. Snooping is now useless and I changed it to Detect Hidden, for griefing purpose.

Hide/Stealth is now for escaping, no longer for attacking a target.

I also find that 90 in magery is enough.

I feel like the snoop patch just slowed us down, I still use it all the time and would never get rid of it personally.

sure am glad i didn't start to drop hiding to gm wraslin last night. i was kind of confused after a 24hr duty day but i'm on top of my game now. working on raising that int so i can raise up magery/med effectively. quite excited i almost have a workable thief and i'm overly relieved that i started magery out @50, shame i wasted the other 50 on LPing.. but that's neither here nor there. i'll definitely start working on a thunter now that i have lockpicks weighing down my secure chest.

ps-> if you have enough cash to raise up magery, but only for 1 char- would you raise it on a bard first or should i just beast-mode my thief and get him complete?

pss-> i hate my bard

Just make your thief if that's the character you are going to have fun playing. Sometimes I will kill things with EVs while stealthing around and waiting for pks or someone else to show up to rob. You can farm on any character with some mage/med and an ev scroll.

you veterans are witty. i will continue to suck the information teet dry (sorry for the breastfeeding methaphor, its all i can think of whilst my wife runs around the house with her massive Ds)

Pics or it didn't happen.

lol

ya just make your thief if you're looking for fun. there's money to be made as a thief if you get out of town and look for things. steal some silver weapons from farmers; some treasure maps; gate hop often. all it takes is 1 really good house loot and you're set to make whatever other character you want.

also when you get to 93 lockpicking or whatever it is on your T hunter, expect to make 1 mil gold raising it to GM. It took me about 2 weeks of casually recalling to the l4 chests.

Sorry, how do you steal without snooping? Just target them to steal an item at random every time? Or is there a trick I'm unaware of?

i was JUST wondering the same.. exact.. thing. crazy

cA secret haxxors....

Only trick i personally use is set last target on a weapon

secret haxxors... as a fat chick in coldstone would say, 'Gotta have it!'

I can't seem to get it to work... declare a weapon "last target" while its being used, wait for them to unequip, steal-last-target... if I've snooped, of course that works just fine. But if I haven't? Nada.

I want your devil magic!!

This. Srsly.

I'm sorry. All leet hax are property of Pristiq Inc and you must have a permit to use them.

could be a razor problem, razor "looks" for the last target whereas in game last target does not.

maybe untick "check target is within range"?
