Appearances edit
Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies edit
This ability is learned with 10 skill points allocated into Acquisitiveness skill. The actual success rate is dependent on both the user's Deftness and the drop rate of the item, calculated as Steal Rate = (Drop Rate * 2)(1 + (Deftness – 51) / 474)
If the character is holding the Honor Among Thieves re-vocation medal, their chance to swipe an item will flat out double. This will not effect other calculations that use the deftness stat, however.
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age edit
Erik can learn this ability by investing 8 skill points in its respective panel in the Guile skill tree of his character builder. It costs 0 MP to use. His base steal rate is 1⁄6 and can be improved by the special effects of certain equipment as well as by 1% for every 20 points of Deftness. The maximum steal rate is 75%.
Note that the robber gloves are the only piece of equipment that, by itself, directly increases the chance of a successful steal (by +2/3/4/5%). The following list of equipment is of those that Erik can equip and also increase deftness:
