Attributes for epic stealing

[Harlow (DELETED 8813)]

Hey.

Aside from Skill, which stats in attributes will boost stealing?

Also, what does willpower do outside of hacking / battling?

Thanks.

Will power helps with rits I believe.

Stealing you need skill, stealing and mechanical.

I should add that tracking helps with guards for stealing too

Yeah, willpower increases your turn number in the rituals mini-game.

charisma helps talk to guards, but is easier to shoot them

[Alexandrea]

actually, speechcraft helps more with that. ;)

and shooting guards raises notoriety equalling getting shot by cops and or hunters.

Basic needs are stealing and mechanics, don't underestimate mechanics in a B&E.

Tracking and speechcraft both can help but aren't required.

Using the gizmos is a huge plus and getting the power of distraction on the illusionist bridge will also help you.

You wouldn't think strength was important but B&E grinder will end up carrying a ton of things, esp., if you craft as well. Smoke bombs and the other gadgets used in B&E do take up space in your thief's inventory. Dexterity is also an extra help for thieves. But the main two attributes I recommend hitting first are Intelligence and Skill.

Harlow would agree.

Right now at level nine, her main skills and attributes levelled:

Strength: 8
Dexterity: 18
Stamina: 12
Intelligence: 10
Willpower: 10
Skill: 20

Mechanics: 6
Stealing: 11

I'll get her to 20 on dexterity with her next level up, and then focus on intelligence.
I don't think charisma will be in the cards for her unless she learns to be civil.

What about stamina though? I've been told (for other characters) that it's invaluable since it allows you to do more on the grid, but with B&E, is that still the case? You don't use more or less energy once you're in the building; it's a bit like hacking in that regard, no?

Strength is very low, but I don't yet have the tools to make the gadgets she needs. I'll have to work on that too.

Thank you everyone who has replied.
This has been very helpful!

stamina for any active player should be a minimum of 20.... you dont use any in the minigame, but it affects how many minigames you can do

Eva is not so much Mechanics a little mechanics goes a long way in B&E Skill and stealing Intelligence doesn't hurt either

I'm favouring stealing over mechanics, but hits mechanics 10, I'll level her up to stealing 20 (currently 12).

I don't understand. How tracking helps with guards?
