Frustrating!

After trading this guide, I attempted to steal from Bronze for about 3 hours, which is at least 20 failed attempts until I rage quit and fell asleep. Woke up next morning irl failed on 3 bronze quads, then just walked up to a silver quad and steal was successful. I didn't engage it first, just ran up to it, stole from the side of him (not in back).

I really don't think any positioning matters and everything is pure luck.

1 silver, 1 zircon, 1 garnet, 3 bronze. Bronze was really low life when I stole it. Everyone has their theories.
wow

tried in rolanberry off all 4 types of quadav, got only silver beastcoins. head to beadeaux, fail every steal. i think im 0/30ish :(

currently 62war/31 thf btw, and have the quest started but haven't talked to the guy in selbina yet so ill probly try that

2nd edit: LOL after admiting defeat and leaving beadeaux, i pull one last mob for a lost steal, and of course it drops(silver quadav). so that puts me at around 1/50. if your doing this quest maybe stick with thf as main.. unless you have a 75 job perhaps

HP Factor

Don't know if it was luck or the fact that I decided to engage and get hp down to 10% ... 1/5 on Silver Quadav as RDM/THF.

it's getting old hearing about people with these theory's on stealing.. I've played thief 3 times now, 1st lvl'd 1-75, 2nd 1-55 or 56, 3rd 1-45 (one im playing now) and i can tell you there's no SECRET to stealing, people come up with theorys on this game and it starts to spread like wildfire. first of all there's NO stat that increases your chance to steal EXCEPT the "steal +#" stat. there's no way of making the chance of stealing an item better by using some strategy like, standing behind a mob, using sa ta, using just sa, using just ta, stealing at 10% opposed to 100%, etc. etc. etc. it's not some big secret set there to confuse and annoy you, sometimes you get lucky sometimes you dont.

I used to base my living on this game from stealing back when my first thf was lvl 65, i'd go to castle oztroja, steal from a mob at 100% hp, and hide then do it again over and over for gold beastcoins, sometimes i'd have success stealing 10 times in a row every 5 mins, sometimes i'd fail 15 times in a row every 5 mins.

anyways im on my third time around with this af, first time i did it i ran into rolandberry, stole from a silver quadav, got stew 1/1, 2nd time was about 1/2 or 3, this time around i've stolen (using same method as always, just run up and steal) and so far 0/6, just came here actually to check if they changed drop or took it off these mobs, they didn't im just having a bad luck streak this time around.

anyways no secret just steal from the mob type labeled to drop this, that's all.

When I was 60ish Drk/Thf about a year or 2 ago, I was questing forsomething else (I forgot, it was so long ago) and had to kill one of the NM's there. For ***** and giggles I was killing randomly while there and just decided to hit steal on one of the Quads. I got this stew and didn't know what it was for. Someone said Thf AF and I never had any intentions of running Thf past a sub job level so I discarded it. Now I'm 46 Thf and smacking myself. At least now I have TH2 and all 3 "lucky items" + a millionaire's desk (Yes, I bought into the rumor). Stealing should be no problem. I don't really want the knife, but I have to finish quest before I can get the rest of the AF gear.

Don't solo it.
# May 10 2006 at 5:04 PM Rating: Decent
I think maybe S-E didn't actually design this to be soloed. Why?

I went along to help a stranger with this one on my brd (68) because I wanted a dry run before I attempted to do my own. She stole the stew on the first mob (which I pulled and engaged).

When I did it myself, I was 0/12, following all of the leads I saw on the forums (i.e., favoring Bronze, stocking up on INT, subbing blm, sleeping it and hitting it from behind). I rejected help from my LS several times citing that I didn't really need any, and the thing that made the quest annoying was the 5:00 cooldown on Steal.

Finally, I broke down and accepted help. A rng showed up and initally started picking off the Too Weaks so they wouldn't link on me. The sleep & steal technique still produced no results. Then we went up top, and I let the rng get hate and then slid up behind it (not engaged) and stole, and got the drop.

It makes logical sense, too: Who's easier to steal from, someone who's asleep, or someone who's distracted? You try to steal something from a sleeper, you're likely to wake them up, but if they're preoccupied with something else...

I could see S-E writing that kind of behaviour into the game--They're Japanese, and the Japanese prefer to accomplish things in groups.
yay

I just got my stew on the third try. First two times, i sleep bolted the Silver Quadav and stole from behind with no luck. 3rd time i engaged and got its HP down to around 10%, sleep bolt, got behind it and stole and got the stew.

I think low HP and stealing from behind are both important and increase your success rate considerably, i could be wrong but i would suggest trying it that way your first couple of tries, just for good luck :P
easy peasy

I went into Beadeaux as BLM67/THF33, mostly naked, figuring I could cast Sleepga if I ran into a multiple link situation, and Escape if things got too hairy. At Staff skill 109, the silver quadavs conned "high defense" to me. >.>

Stole the stew on the first try, and promptly warped back to homepoint. My target was a bronze quadav in the northern part of F-8 or G-8, atop the ridge area. After the brutal difficulty of the RDM and WAR AF1 quests, it sure was nice to be able to solo this one so easily! ^^
Yeah... go for Bronze

There might be something to this stealing from Bronze Quadavs thing...

I was 0/14 from stealing from Garnet, Zircon and Silver Quadavs. Then I saw this thread and tried a Bronze Quadav ftw.

I got it from a silver quadav on my second try... Not sure if it's relevant.. but I hitted him for a while before I tried... until his HP has about 10%....
woot
# Feb 24 2006 at 1:56 AM Rating: Decent
Well, i hit 40 Thief Yesterday and i finally got a chance to get the knife.

I tried it first as a WHM/Thf but, i had no go. I went as THF/NIN and after four or five tries I got the Knife. Woot!

is it possible to steal this if you don't have the quest?
RE: no quest
# Feb 16 2006 at 9:50 PM Rating: Decent
Yes. I just did it as a 55WAR/THF and didn't have the quest started. Took me about 7 steals, but finally got it.

Steal these off Bronze Quadav on the ridge, Garnet, Silver and Zircon never gave me anything. 3 tries on a Bronze Quadav and got my soup.
