You can't steal directly (you know in the shopping window where you can actually pick what you're gonna steal) in the adverturers mart. But you can pickpocket. Just make sure your pickpocket skills are over 100 and save before you do it. Some potions of masterthievery will do the trick. (I'm not sure, but I believe that if your pickpocket skills are 200 you can't fail) The headmerchant, can't remember his name, has some good stuff to pickpocket (won't say what,that might spoil it for ya), the rest isn't impressive.

There is also a noblewoman standing behind a bookshelf in the Mart. She sells some pretty spell scrols which you can steal (if your thieving skills are high enough)

First time here so if this was repeated I apologize. I am currently in chapter 2 (a newbie) but I found out that with lots of master thievery potions and anything to boost up your pick pockets you can easily grab a lot of loot anywhere from a simple scroll to plate mail and weapons. However, I found out there is a catch! I did this so I can easily get some money needed to outfit my party. As long as your Pick Pockets is over 100% (and that is not always a sure bet...so make sure you use the Q button always) you can pick pockets from almost everyone and even steal from the merchants. I must have stolen about 25,000 in trade in value (of course they will never give me the best price for the items but who cares). The trick is that you need to find a merchant that will buy your so called "fenced" items...at first I couldn't sell to most merchants because they knew somehow that the items were stolen and didn't want them...however, there is this lady vendor in the Bridge District (next to Bel and Rose) that will buy the items from you. I know this is not the best thing to do in the game but man it sure saves time...and too my knowledge I have yet to suffer any reputation penalties. Now if I can just get the windows with the AWESOME LOOT to allow me to steal from them (note the great stuff in the Adventures Mart you can not steal).

I like to hear some of your comments on this topic...Just my .02 worth,

Stealing from Anyone in the Adventures Mart is risky.. Ive Stolen from the Woman in the Back with the Scrolls with Over 200 in PP skills and she Still catches me..PPing the main guy does yield a good iteam..i forget what it was but thats worth the risk. also pick pocket that guy in the Goverment District who tells you to get that guy who wants you to go with him to the Planer Sphere..i forget his name too...Good Luck
