Edge Equipment

If successful, adds target monster's most common drop to your inventory. Sneak can be used repeatedly in battle, even on the same monster, though it will always fail if there is no room in your inventory to add the item.

Edge's chance to steal is determined by the formula: Edge's level + 50 - target's $2F stat (*)

This is approximately Edge's probability of success. The value is clamped to the range (1,99) and compared to a random number in the range (0,98). If the random number is lower or equal, Sneak is successful.

*The $2F stat defaults to monster level plus 10. Cry subtracts 5 from this stat, effectively adding 5% to the Sneak success rate with each use until the target's $2F stat drops to 1.

If Sneak fails, Edge may take a small amount of damage. The likelihood of taking damage depends on the target's $2F stat - the lower the stat, the higher the chance that Edge takes damage. This is every bit as nonsensical as it sounds.
