Steals, Drops, and Cards

Source Item Chance
Steal Blue Bottle IconPotion (Common) 70.0%
Drop Blue Bottle IconPotion 37.4%
Purple Bottle IconEther 0.4%
Card Tetra Master Card IconFlan Card 12.5%

Steal chances are the odds of each result when a steal connects. The game rolls for the rarest item first, so a rare steal can take many attempts, and a steal can also fail outright against a high-level enemy. The Skill IconMaster Thief ability raises a very rare steal to 12.5%. Check out the How Stealing and Enemy Drops Work page for more information.
