There's another chest in Mosphoran Highwaste/Babbling Vale, near a woman, who you can talk to, looking on a watershrine...north from the teleport crystal; it's a one-time only chest and it's 100% Thief Cuffs. This can be done when you need to head for Jahara, land of the garif...in the original game, I used to get the Zodiac Spear at this point in the history, Maximillians, Demon Shield and loot for weapons/armor.
Tactics poaching was great too! Thanks for this concise guide. I've had some steals that have taken ages and this should help speed things up. Plus I mean, rarer steals means better loot. My vaan almost always be stealing
Agreed. There are games where I never used the steal ability. The developers are basically just wasting their time if they code a mechanic that nobody's gonna use. You gotta make it worthwhile for the players or else they're never gonna use the mechanic.
Each run in and out only took like 10 seconds and it still took me like 15 minutes to get this chest to spawn, rng hates me so much I'll be surprised if the cuffs even do anything for me but hey at least I got them lmao
I got a third pair (actually it was the second one I got) during a boss fight. It was a plant like boss, I can't remember it's name, but there is three pairs. Non-trial as well, so happy hunting. :)
1 thing of note about the Thief Cuffs: to be able to steal Great Trango (AKA Trango Tower) from Zodiark (non trial version), you HAVE to have the Thief Cuffs equipped, Without the Thief cuffs the Steal list is Serpentarius (c), High Arcana (u) and Megalixir (r) as steals With the Thief cuffs the steal List is as follows: Serpentarius (c), Megalixir (u) and Great Trango (r) The steal rates still apply, however so it is a 6% chance to get it (c) = Common steal (u)= Uncommon Steal (r)= Rare Steal
OneButton Dash Bracelet slightly improves loot from chests (only works if you open the chest with the character it is equipped on) but Cuffs improve your chance to steal rare items from monsters, personally I find the cuffs to be much more useful, especially when grinding loot for end game equipment
Switch players, this works. Just wear diamond armlet and zone in and out until the chest spawns. If you don’t get it keep going or reload auto save. It will appear 100% RNG for us is just massively unfair. Best of luck.
I think the treasure has 3 slots it can be, and the game checks each slot one at a time to see what you're gonna get. That's how stealing works at least.
Without cuffs I believe it works like this. Check for rare steal if fail... Check for uncommon steal success if fail... Check comon steal. If failed you get the message you were unable to steal from them. With cuffs it will still check all 3 but you can succeed at all of them if lucky.
Is that required? I didn’t have it at that time but got it right after by playing the first stage, which I should have done earlier. Does the diamond armlet need to be on an active party member or just anyone. Is the diamond armlet needed for this chest? I was thinking that and if I have to go through it again I will. I should see if there is anything else to do in that cave since I am level 40.
@@berto2174 nice! I saw the video on how to farm all this kind of stuff but I haven't gotten to it. I watched the first two videos (1-10 and 11-20 but have pretty much leveled out of everything there. I am level 40 and at this point I am just trying to beat before my microsoft game pass trial runs out in a few days and I am to Tyrant (right before the great crystal) but I'm not even getting half his health down before I wipe so I need to level some more as well as grind for gil (just got a couple cat ears) so I can buy all current level gear, just hoping that's my problem.
I see lol.. They're good, it's just their faces freak me out. There's also FFTA and FFTA2 which take place in Ivalice btw. ;) (and FFXII's "Golden Age" of Ivalice to boot)
Brilliant! That westersands location early on is awesome, so good having vane steal at least once per enemy 🍟 Subscribed thank you 🤗

I like it when games give you the ability to steal and actually have good things that can be stolen like in FF12.
+name bn It is a cool mechanic. In tactics it was pretty important too. Though..... most bosses have only given me potions so far :/

is this a one time thing or can i keep going for other characters?
So i'm confused, do I want to wear the diamond bracelet or the theif cuffs? what's the difference

Cara gostei muito desse seu detonado mas eu não gosto de jogar ele no teclado, tem como eu jogar com o Joystick?
Am i supposed to have diamonf armlet on or off?
This guy is amazing, thanks.
great video. Q - Are there more Tief Cuffs?

You don't need the armlet. I didn't have it equipped when I found it
I opened the same exact chest and got some random gambit. Am i forgetting something??
Thiefs cuffs + all monographs + x4 speed = alot of money and good items. I barely have to buy equipment anymore😅.
Thanks for the video Im very late to the game but Appreciate it! :)
i just killed the judge after rescuing ashe
am i close to being far enough to get these?
Storywise you are not that far off, but there might be a few hours of gameplay in between.
What happens if you fall down in the pit from games you can't fall? I bet there's no death box down there.
At the end where you stole the sword of kings, was that new game+?
No its trail mode
Thx a ton Bud. Appreciate it. 👊
Titel, Screenshot and Info refer to Theif but it's actually "Thief's Cuffs" :-)
Late night edit >_< can't fix what's in the video but title, thumb and info are fixed. thanks.
Are there any missable items in this version that you cant get if you miss them
No. Maybe some low level armor is missable, but often at least one enemy will have it as a rare drop if you're a collector.
Saving this I'll try later
80+30+6=116%
How does that work?
I think the treasure has 3 slots it can be, and the game checks each slot one at a time to see what you're gonna get. That's how stealing works at least.
80% common item, 30% uncommon item, 6% rare item. You can get all 3 items based on your luck /rng
Without cuffs I believe it works like this.
Check for rare steal if fail...
Check for uncommon steal success if fail...
Check comon steal. If failed you get the message you were unable to steal from them.
With cuffs it will still check all 3 but you can succeed at all of them if lucky.
I finished the tomb and The Boulder is still on the other side. It’s a switch version different?
It worked my bad
Is this a one time only?
ClassySenjou no
Yes, its one time only. You can get the second thief cuffs at babbling vale, mosphoran highwaste
Thanks Lemon for really helpful stuff!👏👏👏
another great video!
Nice video !
Maybe they patched it, I was in and out over 10 times and it wasn’t there
still nothing i wanna try ? do you have the dimond armlet on ?

@@berto2174 that was absolutely the problem. I went back after I got the diamond armlet and I see it there the second time.

Why did you use the damn lobotomized portrait of the FF3 cast as the thumbnail? lol XD
I was looking for pictures of Thieve's :D I wanted some from FFT but couldn't get good enough quality.

typo but thanks
E P I C!
Thank you so much bud!
Wow whole 6% for rare items? Incredible difference.
Crimson-Tone 3% to 6% is a 100% increase. so it "only" doubles your chance. incredible i know.
@@peterjohnson5132 I think what they were getting at is that there's still a 94% chance of not getting a rare item from a steal.
Can you farm this chest or is it a 1 time only chest?
1 time only chest
