Update: Sleight of Hand
2013-05-29
The ability to steal from monsters and fellow players has undergone the following changes:
- We have added a new item called Pickpocket Tools to the alchemist shops. This item allows whoever is using it to perform a Sleight of Hand action in an attempt to steal some gold or an item from the target. The chance of success for an attempt is determined by the level of both user and target and is affected by the skill in newly-added Sleight of Hand profession;
- The Pickpocket Tools item cannot be used under effect of Impregnability, in rooms with Private Shops and Exchanges and Tournament Zones (Territory of Heroes).
- Upon using the Pickpocket Tools item the Gloom affect will be inflicted on the user lasting a few seconds. It is not possible to use the item again while under affects of Gloom.
- As we mentioned earlier a new profession has been added to the arsenal of player characters called Sleight of Hand. Levels of this profession directly influence the ability to successfully steal from someone and also provide opportunity to use a set of Pickpocket Tools without losing them in the process.
