Has anyone else not been able to steal coins from dynamis mobs since the update? I've done three runs since the update and haven't stolen a single coin yet. Before the update, I did a half a dozen runs and always stole a least two, something three.

Just curious if people have been having the same problem I've been having.



Edit: Just to clarify, talking about Monday July 11th update

It still works. Success rate is likely a lot lower, however.

This is the most recently update that was monday, ya? Just making sure people aren't thinking that I'm talking about the dynamis change.

Yeah, since they lowered the drop rate on currency, I'd imagine that the stealing rate would be lowered as well.
Or the stealing rate is the same thing as the drop rate, idk.

Oh, then I'm not sure about that. x.x It might have borked, but I have yet to do a run since then.

Try stealing once you've proc'd it. I will next time I go, which will likely be tomorrow.

The thf I was with today stole at least 3 one byne bills in Dyna-Jeuno. Wasn't paying attention to notice whether steal was before or after proc.

Yes steal still works I stole a bronzepiece last night from an unstaggered mob.(I spam steal on JA proc mobs, so i very rarely try to steal from an already staggered mob). On a somewhat related note has anyone noticed lower drop rate on coins per stagger since July 11th. update? With TH6+procs i would get 3 coins per stagger, occasionally 4 or rarely 1-2 now it seems im only getting 2 per stagger more often than 3 i still get the occasional 4 and rarely 1. This could explain a lower steal rate?

I know its never been proven but maybe moon phase has something to so w/ it. It hasne been that long yet give it another few days and see if you drop rate returns to what you expect.

After going 4 dynamis runs without stealing 1 coin, I finally had a run where I stole three. I guess I was just getting very unlucky. Thanks for all the responses.
