Aaaaaaaaagh, this is driving me nuts, no matter what i try i can't steal from shops.
Hear'dalis has 110 in pickpocketing and its still not working, what am i doing wrong?

The shops are stupidly hard. Even with 200% you cannot steal in the Copper Coronet. Try multiple potions of Master Thievery

I got the gauntlets of pickpocketing from the guy in the first room on the second floor of the Copper Coronet and used a potion of master theivery and pickpocketed the owner of Adventure Mart. It took me about 30 tries but he has a ring of Regeneration. Once you get it in your hot little hands HE ATTACKS YOU!!! I've read that this is one of 2 rings of regeneration in the game.

(It also depends on the shopkeeper's role to see you).
<font color="gold">But I have always had better success if I had a good move Silently score, and then turned myself invisible. That way, nobody saw me approaching. Especially in homes, I always wait until their backs are turned. It always gave me better success...maybe I am wrong, but it worked...</font color>

It depends of the shop owner. Some are very easy to steel. Like the merchants in the underdark or the guy on the second floor of Gaelan Bayle's house. Also, if you look, in your game manual, the disavantages of wearing an armour on your thievin skills, you'll see that you will have a big penalty. So take it off. The gloves of pickpocketing also help.

See the ravaging effects of smoke!

Hey, I have stolen the regeneration ring of ribald just with Jan with 120%, and nothing happend, no one attacked me, I did the same for a lot of people a lot of time without problems...So unless I have really lot of luck, it should work for you too !

Im not talking about pickpocketing but about stealing in stores, i've heard stories of people who have cleaned out all merchants in the underdark!

The same rules apply, no matter if it is pickpocketing, or stealing the wares...The previous threads give lots of useful info on how to steal more easily.

Thanks

Can you 'burn out' your thief. Mine just can't steal anything, anywhere any more. Whats the score?
