Thievery Formulas

Thieves Per Acre

The ratio of your TPA to your opponent's TPA will determine the success rate of your conducted thievery ops.

Raw TPA

Raw TPA = Number of Thieves / Acres

Mod TPA

Modified TPA = Raw TPA * Invisibility * Crime Science * Race Bonus * Thieves Dens Bonus

Modifier Type	Active	Otherwise
Invisibility	1.1	1
Thievery Science	Check your science page
Race: Gnome	1.4	1

Stealth

The amount of stealth you use depend on what thievery operation you use.

• Simple operations will use ~ 3%.
• Tougher operations may use more.
• Failed attempts use 50% more stealth.

If you start with 100% stealth, you may after a theft have 93%, then 86%, 80%, 75%, 70%, etc. You need at least 10% stealth to be able to send your thieves out.

If you log on to find your stealth being much lower than you expected, someone has probably cast Expose Thieves on you. The spell will reduce your amount of stealth to 80% of what you had.

Stealth increases with 3% every hour (4% if you have the Rogue Personality).

Thieves to Send

Optimal Thieves to Send = (Opponents' Resources * Max % Of Total) / Gains Per Thief

• Opponents' Resources can be found by casting a CB of the target.
• Max % Of Total and Gains Per Thief are given by the table below.

Thievery Yield

Thievery Yield = Thieves Sent * Relative Size * Gains Per Thief * Crime Science * (1 - Resources Lost)


    Relative Size = MIN (OpponentNW / YourNW ; YourNW / OpponentNW) + WarBonus

• Gains Per Thief is given by the table below.
• Resources Lost is given by the table below.
