Did they change bump aa line

MirageE · 09-25-2006, 10:30 PM

Anyone notice if thye changed the bump aa line?I was looking this morning and it as I hadn't seen it steal coin for some time and it says somethign along the lines of you have a 100% chance (I maxed it out) to loot an itemI swore it used to say a chance to pickpocket or something like that.Has it changed or since I am at a higher level now the mobs I am currently attacking aren't coin givers? If so where was the update noteThanksPS - Odds are I am just missing something but curious to know what as I really love the fact that it steals coin (love the cash), attacks, and drops you into invis so I can use another invis stab... its the most awesome AA for dmg I think we have.

Some targets do not have coin to steal. When I went this path to level up, I noticed that there was some mobs that gave the message "This target has nothing of value to steal" or something to that effect... There is always the possibility that it is bugged though, wouldn't surprise me..

Hello,

I use Bump for awhile now and last Friday it was still working as intended. Notes that sometimes you get no message at all when trying to steal coin.

Well weirdest thing but its working now. Maybe a short-term bug or something but I swore i wasn't looking off droag's day before yesterday and now today I am. Oh well - back to back stabbing them for the coinage.... it adds up fast at level 8!!!

i didn't take this line with my troubador, and i'm also a little unsure exactly what you're asking.... but i know the brigand pickpocket has a 100% chance to attempt to steal coin. which means that every time you use it, you will attempt to steal coin. apparently, using it used to give you a chance to attempt to steal coin, which is quite confusing if you ask me. double checks, ick.it's all in the wording. i was under the impression that bump was similar but with a lower than 100% chance and put you in stealth and did damage... while pickpocket is just a steal from behind. so if it's like 80% chance to steal, you'll only get the attempt on 80% of your uses... then it does a separate check to see if you actually steal anything. i find it's easier to pick things that are lower level than you, too. :smileywink:
