Section 1: General Thief Information
1.11: What can happen when I steal?
Stealing is effected by Line of sight (LOS). Stealing while your PC victim is directly facing you will 99% of time get you
noticed. NPC's however act very strangly, they have eyes in the back of their heads and see through walls. However, here
are the possible outcomes.
- You successfully steal the item – Nobody noticed you! Beautiful!
- You steal the item, but are noticed! – You are gray to everyone. If in a guard zone, you better start running before
someone calls them on you!
- You steal the item, but you turn gray to your victim – Being only gray to your victim has it’s advantages, he may not
see your name anymore, and has to hit All Names to take notice.
- You fail to steal the item – Not good, you are noticed as a failure, and you’re gray! However, you do not turn
Perma-Grey! This is handy information for anyone trying to wack you around town and is waiting for you to turn Perma!
- That item is too heavy to steal – You tried to target something over 10 stone weight. You stay blue.
- That item has no value to you – You targeted a newbie item or your stealing from a Young player. You stay blue.
Keep in mind that if you die after a minute you steal, the stolen item returns to the owner. Now if you had a partner to
hold that item for you….
Keep in mind you do NOT turn gray stealing from other Grays or Reds.*
**Note: #3 is referring to perma-grey which no longer exists in the game.
