I *unintentionally* stole SLB from the HMV shop. But am having a REALLY hard time pilfering a shop of a RoDS 2 levels below the Animated Forest w/o being noticed as i walk out the door. So I ended up just getting noticed and killing the shopkeeper. Is there any tips for the next time I find a shop with a RoDS or anything else useful? |

yeah, get your stealth high high, get invisible, and move directly to the RoDS, don't fool around the shop.. For the Horde! |

Do you have a pick-axe/wand of digging? If so, just kick-pilfer whatever you want! |

That doesn't work Gozer, some mystical force will prevent the kick. I just tested. Edit: I assume you mean dropping unpaid items on the door square and then kicking them out from inside the shop? Yeah, I did that and it didn't work. [Edited 1 time, last edit on 10/11/2005 at 08:24 (GMT -5) by Echo] |

If your speed is very, very high and you wear blessed 7lbs, make a pile with the things you want to erm "borrow", and then take them... If everything goes right, you should be able to get out of the shop before the shopkeeper blocks the door...it worked in gamma 16.. For the Horde! |

Echo: kick-pilfering is when you dig open part of the shop wall (pick-axe, wand of digging, monk kick) and kick the stuff that you want through the hole that you made. |

To the best of my knowledge shop walls can't be digged by oh well I may be wrong |

you don't need high speed if you are invisible to pilfer things. if the shopkeeper doesn't show the "NAME stares at your position with great intensity" he won't block the door. however, if you don't get a message that tells you that you broke a law, the shopkeeper will follow you out and try to kill you. Ill try the kick-pilfering though. I am a save-scummer so I can experiment alot. Just one question with the kick-pilfering. Aren't shop walls un-diggable? |

You can't kick things in a shop. Die Gedanken sind Frei |

also, I am a dwarvish archer and the (now dead) shopkeeper was orcish. otherwise i would have bought the RoDS. I wonder if you could sell an artifact to the HMV shop and then steal it back. Then sell it again... and then get postcrowned... |

Actually, you can. Just play a thief at a high enough level, and you won't even have to bother wit invisibility and all that. Class powers rock! http://tankefel.blogspot.com/ So far you have only killed one wild cat. |

Maybe, as long as you dont have to run thru long, long corridors to reach the shop. You know what I mean ;) My RL dumpyard: http://www.geocities.com/ceruleannebula/index.html |

how much of a chance do you have to destroy items with WoD? how many squares away should you stand? do diagonals count as 1 or two squares? |

####### #=?=?=# #=?=?=# ####### --- here.--- Let's say that this is the shop you're planning to rob.. I think you could use the WoD on the lower walls of the shop. it wouldn't damage any stuff since it does not have a radius, like a wand of fireball For the Horde!

I have managed to steal from stores by having a pet stand in the doorway, and then I just strolled right out with stuff. I can't seem to do it consistantly, sometimes the storekeeper's just too smart, but it does sometimes work, especally with multiple zombies if you place them right. |

Of course, the shopkeeper *will* summon thugs and go berserk on you if you do - but it works, you get away with the stuff. Especially if you steal a wand of teleportation... http://tankefel.blogspot.com/ So far you have only killed one wild cat. |

If you steal a wand of teleport you could use right away and not use any pets "I don't know what World War 3 will be fought with, but I know World War 4 with be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein |

Any means of teleport and teleport control is garenteed to make a succesful steal, but the shoppkeeper WILL notice you and try to kill you if you don't have another trick up your sleeve.
