We're really treasure hunters, not thieves!

[Suirieko]

I know I could attest for this in my 2+ years pulling for Dynamis!


So how do you guys feel about all the new Treasure Hunter goodness we've seen, especially the big changes to the system, and the fact that we have yet another TH gear, and Job trait!

[Usukane]

I love the things they have done for Treasure Hunter, and I hunger for MORE!

[Draylo]

I would like if they made Thief able to steal more things, not useless things either.

In Final Fantasy Tactics, Thief could steal ANYTHING!

I'd like to see Despoil changed to where Thieves can take the Accuracy, Attack, Defense etc. of the mobs and give those stats to themselves. In fact, the word "despoil" essentially means to steal.

As it stands now, Thieves steal the defense of the mobs all right, but goodness! what do they do with them afterwards, throw them away? It would be smarter to just keep them for themselves :P

[Arcon]

Pretty much what Draylo said. The Steal trait in itself is rather useless, would be nice to be able to steal/despoil some useful stuff, or at a better rate for that matter. Stealing 3~4 coins during a dynamis run with the highest Steal setup doesn't even cover my food/rr cost. As for abyssea, that could extend to pop items, geodes or crests for example.

I've only been using Steal for a quick dispel, situationally. I don't even remember I can use it in Dynamis runs because of the low success rate and recast.
I do love the Treasure Hunter update, though! Adding up numbers is addicting, and lately I've been reluctant to go on any other job to events.

I always have liked how old school FFXI did Steal with Brigandish Blade in sky. It made the job ability a requirement. ... Made you feel kind of important, because back in that day most Thief's had no more than TH2. :P Just remembering the good old days.

I agree steal needs to be more beneficial when its used on higher level enemies as well as in dynamis even it would be great to be steal a coin more often then not. I don't know if SqEnix plans on putting out more steal gear that would have to overshadow what they have now to do this or even give a job trait that increases chance of stealing an item.
On the Treasure Hunter topic Im not sure what to think I must be the unluckiest THF there is but having a TH9 on an NM and only dropping 1 seal without a proc and nothing else or getting up to a TH8 outside abyssea on a HNM and not getting a drop is still crap. I feel they nerfed TH just to say they could give you higher TH but a TH 4 turns out to be a TH2 now.. just a thought .. like I said Im probably just an unlucky THF

I think it's because there is no proc, for seals.
To me, it seems like Abyssea drop up 0-2 seals without yellow, Treasure Hunter helps try to get both seals.
Proccing yellow !! seems to unlock the chance for 3 more seals (up to 5), with TH increasing the chance of each extra seal dropping. Seals are not guaranteed, but drops seem to increase greatly, especially after hitting TH10+ (frequently get full drops with yellow !!, even without blue !!).
Proccing yellow with no TH can wield anywhere from 0-5 seals, depending on luck. We've had better luck having a THF and no yellow (almost always at least 1 seal) than yellow and no THF (had no seals drop several times), but that might just be bad luck on our part.
It feels like the Heroes of Abyssea zones are a little less generous with seals even with yellow and TH in my experience, though. It usually feels more like getting 2-3 seals regularly vs. 4-5 in Scars areas.

HNM... I dunno, low drop rate means still low drop rate? @,@

im happy with the new th system but would be happier if u could SA+marksmanship WS [with /rng of course] and RA for more th procs.
