Changes: Stealing: Profitable Targets

Revision as of 20:23, 16 June 2014

In Dragon Age: Origins, there are several profitable targets that yield high value items when pick-pocketed.

The game's difficulty setting for all attempts is "Normal" unless otherwise stated. Raising or lowering the game's difficulty setting will increase or decrease the skill/attribute requirements, respectively.

Lookup Table

Note: With each additional rank of Stealing, you can reduce the required Cunning by 5 points. You also need 5 less points per rank of Stealth (if in Stealth mode).

Legend

^§ = items that you always receive from the target.

One Valuable Item = a random item that include items at least as valuable as Potent potions, runes (up to Grandmaster), high-end jewelry, or gold.

Notes

Stealing Mechanics are explained in the main article's discussion.
If you fail to successfully steal in Denerim, you will have a random encounter when traveling on the Denerim City Map where a Guard and sixteen Soldiers recognize you as a thief and attack. After this encounter, you will have another random encounter when traveling on the Denerim City Map where a Guard and nineteen Soldiers recognize you as a thief who wiped out the previous patrol and attack.
If you fail to successfully steal in the Circle Tower, the random encounter Narrow Road might take place.
If you fail to successfully steal in the Dalish Camp, the random encounter Wooded Hills might take place.
In the downloaded ps3version, even with level 4 stealing and over 30 cunning, Master Ignacio's pocket is a steel trap.

-* If you fail to successfully steal in Denerim, you will encounter a swarm of guards when traveling on the City Map to nearby locations. Note that you MUST actually fail a stealing attempt to trigger the encounters - just stealing from enough people in Denerim is not enough (confirmed PC patch 1.04). Note that if you missed your chance to do this before the Landsmeet, you will still have the opportunity to fail an attempt to steal from the nobles that show up for the Landsmeet.
+* If you fail to successfully steal in Denerim, you will have a random encounter when traveling on the Denerim City Map where a Guard and sixteen Soldiers recognize you as a thief and attack. After this encounter, you will have another random encounter when traveling on the Denerim City Map where a Guard and nineteen Soldiers recognize you as a thief who wiped out the previous patrol and attack.
