The rate of Steal success per item by a character of equal level to the monster; these rates will change based on the level difference between the Stealing character and the monster; hover over a percentage to see the base rate (which is based on being 10 levels higher than the monster); this rate is multiplied by 80%±2% per level difference; only one item can be stolen, so an increase in level may in some cases decrease the effective Steal rate of items later in the list
Steal
A monster will never drop an item if an item was Stolen from it during the battle; only monsters present in the final battle of a multi-battle sequence may drop items
