Zidane what a theif

As for the Thievery vs. Frog Drop that a few people brought up, I prefer Frog Drop much more. It does take awhile, but nowhere NEAR the time needed to max Thievery. 140 frogs sounds about right, but I caught 160 just to make sure it does 9999. Plus, this is Quina here. The best overall character in the game.

Sorry to disagree again...on the same point..., but there is no way thievery takes more time to level up than frog drop, unless you just don't steal. Once you equip bandit, which can be done pretty early, thievery is much more effective. And while trying to steal the good items from bosses can be a huge pain, the first or second steal from most normal monsters is usually successful. A successful steal is all you need to add to thievery's damage, and later, when you get thief gloves, it becomes even more effective. Not to mention that the longer you have items equipped to Zidane that increase the speed stat, the faster he will become, which also increases effectiveness.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

I'm playing a file right now (...well not "right now "). Thievery does near 7,000 damage, while Frog drop is doing about 3,500, and I check all four swamps frequently.

If you leave an adult male and female in a marsh, then catching frogs will go pretty fast. If you wait long enough, you'll get to catch a gold frog, which is worth 4 normal frogs (I think).

Stealing, on the other hand, is only useful during boss fights. Stealing from random enemies just yields normal items that can be easily bought from any shop. I don't know why anyone would bother doing that.

Actually, from what I have learned, it's better to leave gold frogs alone as they can breed with male and female frogs- thus regenerating the numbers faster (and yes, I know about leaving a male and female frog).

Why anyone would bother stealing from regular enemies is this: some enemies drop gems, which, when accumulated, boost the power of summon spells- i.e. opal- Shiva; topaz- Ifrit; etc. Of course these gems can be synth'd. at Daguerro (sp?), but many enemies also drop ore, which is needed to synth. other gems. Also, grand dragon, for example, has tents and ESPECIALLY ethers to steal, which aside from being very useful, can be sold for 1,000 gil each.
