FFTA : How To Get Steal Weapon Ability Early!

HOW TO GET STEAL WEAPON ABILITY EARLY!

Firstly, to use this method you have to be quite early in the game(before
Main mission 9, magic wood). I would not recommend this method too early in
the game as there will not be enough quests for you to raise your clan
negiotiate skill quick enough. In order to get some of the rare items, you
need to hold off some missions before getting steal weapon ability. Finally,
you are trying to get steal weapon ability, NOT sword breaker!

Steps
-----

1. Sign up for the following Missions(pay fee), but DO NOT do them until
you get steal weapon ability!!!

a. Frosty Mage
b. Nubswood base
c. Magic Wood(main quest 9)

2. You need to get the steal weapon ability from the thief in the wanted!
quest(Diaghilev Godeye, quest no. 27). The quest will appear after you
have done Thesis Hunt main quest. Sign up for the mission(pay fee), but
don't do it until you get Cinqueda(For steal ability). There is an
alternative location where you can get steal weapon ability. See section
4. RARE/HIDDEN ITEMS LOCATION.

3. After you completed the main mission 8(Hot Awakening), it time to do
SOME clan level up! Go to the pub and do ALL the dispatch/battle
missions you can do. Then REPEAT the following quests in order to raise
your clan skills(most importantly negiotiate skill):

a. Swords in cyril
b. Metal Hunt
c. Chocobo help
d. Materite
e. Missions with flags icons...
f. Other Possible missions...

You are repeating the missions in order to reach clan negiotiate skill
30, so that you can get Cinqueda. It will take a quite while(I did it in
26+ hours of game time). So at the same time you can level up your
characters and learn the abilities and unlock the jobs that you want to
get(assassin, ninja, illusionist..etc..). Rememeber at the same time to
learn ALL the steal abilities.

From Andrew Pellerano:

"There is a much easier way to reach negotiation level 30 at the beginning
 of the game.

 1. Do just the first couple of major quests so that you can activate the
    clan command and random battles.

 2. Immediately ditch your second human in the party (he?s the most useless
    early game) so that you have 5 members total in your clan.

 3. Get into a random battle and flee as soon as you can. When you check
    the missions list at the pub, you?ll notice a (tribe) Wanted mission
    posted by Montblanc where (tribe) is the race aligned with the current
    month.

 4. Send someone out on this dispatch mission (they take 5 days) and when
    they return you?ll gain experience towards your negotiation skill.

 5. Say no to the new member who wants to join; yes, you?re going to make
    a lot of people cry. Run around the map until it is the beginning of
    a new month.

 6. Head into the pub and you?ll see you now have 2 (tribe) Wanted missions:
    one aligned with last month and one aligned with the current month.
    Note that if you accidentally invite a member to your clan, you?ll miss
    out on the second quest generated by the previous month.
    You may need to get into a random battle and start the process over
    from there. Every 3 or 4 of these dispatch quests will net you a level
    in negotiation."

Using the above steps will allow you to reach negiotiation skill level 30 in
about 6 hours(varies).

4. The missions will reappear in different months of the game. So just walk
around on the map and visit pubs to see if the quests reappears. Also,
to get Missions with flags icons(turf missions), when your turf is under
attack, DO NOT go to rescue it!!! Wait till its captured and the turf
missions will appear in the pubs and you can do them again for clan
skill points. If there are multiple turfs being captured, only one
mission will show in the pub. You can only do 1 turf(dispatch) mission
at a time.

5. If you find that you have too much useless mission items(adamanite,
materite, chocobo eggs..) you can discard them. The missions with those
items as rewards will reappear. DO NOT THROW AWAY OTHER MISSION ITEMS
BESIDES THE THREE LISTED ABOVE!!!!

6. Once you reached negiotiate skill 30, you will get Cinqueda. Now it's
time to get steal weapon ability!! Equip your thief with the cinqueda
and do the wanted! quest(Diaghilev Godeye, quest no. 27). Steal the
steal weapon ability from the thief of that quest, before killing him.

NOW YOU HAVE STEAL WEAPON ABILITY EARLY!!!
