Steals, Drops, and Cards

Source	Item	Chance
Steal	Phoenix Down (Common)	70.0%
	Tent (Uncommon)	23.3%
	Ether (Very Rare)	0.4%
Drop	Hi-Potion	Always
	Phoenix Down	32.7%
	Tent	12.5%
	Ether	0.4%
Card	Cactuar 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 Master Thief ability raises a very rare steal to 12.5%. Check out the How Stealing and Enemy Drops Work page for more information.
