Ask a Thief Thread.

I've actually been leveling a cb lately, and i did find out that steal can steal regular monster drops(i got like a warrior top or something from using steal). So yea i believe it could steal scrolls but in the end you would be better off just killing monsters to get the drops instead of hoping for steal to acquire it.

It was completely useless pre-bb, but now that it mobs and does better damage, you'll find yourself pretty much using it for 80-90% of 2nd job to train.

Steal doesn't add to drops, either - when you steal an item, the mob can't drop that item anymore. And you can only steal once from any monster.

It can steal when you miss though, so you could go farm high level mobs...
