Welcome to the guide!  This guide was created for people who are interested
in the useful Pickpocketing skill found in Star Ocean: The First Departure.
The guide features a small number of Pickpocketing guidelines and explanations
as well as a comphrehensive list of 'pickpocketable' items. Hopefully, you
will find what your looking for, but if you have any questions, make sure you
read the entire guide first.

Enjoy!

O============================================================================O
| The Pros and Cons Pickpocketing                                    (PP001) |
O============================================================================O

You've probably played through Star Ocean: The First Departure and noticed an
interesting specialty called Pickpocket when upgrading your skills. You 
probably wondered how it worked, and with no instruction given, you moved on
with the game.

The main advantage of Pickpocketing is being able to steal items from nearly
every townsperson in the game - some of them are rare!

Another advantage of Pickpocketing is the fact that if you fail, you can just
try again. That's right! You don't have to reload, you can keep trying to
steal until you do! You can only successfully steal from someone once though.
Also, stealing until your successful can lower your Parties AL faster.

The first downside to Pickpocketing is, no matter if your in a Private Action
or not the Affection Level of all the characters in your party will go down.
DOWN. On the bright side, it takes you Pickpocketing from more than 1 entire
town for it to go down (But when it does it goes down alot). Pickpocketing 
from 1 or 2 people will not have any adverse affects on your Affection Levels
(unless you had to steal from them ~20 times to successfully get an item).

The second downside is accumulating the skill points you need to get the
Pickpocketing Speicalty. It takes a long time and wastes points that you could
use to upgrade the more important skills. Although it isn't a big deal,
considering you can't start Pickpocketing until mid-game.

You can NOT Pickpocket from the following people:
1. Your party members*
2. The Kings, Queens, and Ministers
3. Certain guards
4. Shop Owners
5. Skill Guild people
6. Anybody on Farget (Jie's Planete)
7. Certain People (ex: Ruddle in Haute)

Why can't you? Well the makers of Star Ocean are mean that's why. In
Star Ocean: The Second Story (Playstation), you can steal from your party! Grr

*A couple people have e-mailed me to tell me that you CAN in fact steal from
some of your party members. Just a few of them, and only in certain towns.

O============================================================================O
| How to Pickpocket                                                  (PP002) |
O============================================================================O

When you start a new game check and see if RODDICK has the Nimble Fingers
talent. 

Menu-->Status-->Scroll Down or Menu-->Skills-->Triangle-->Triangle. (To check
what skills you have)

If you don't have it, one thing to do is to start over. However, by the time
you get to Ionis you should be able to aquire it through the Crafting, or
Machinist Item Creations.

This talent is the most important thing you need to start Pickpocketing.

Let me repeat: You need Nimble Fingers! 

Another key ingredient are the Thief's Glove.  You can buy this in the town of
Ionis (where you get RONYX). It costs 10,000 Fol, but by the time you get
there you should have enough. At Ionis you can also get Mechanic's Toolbox's
and make a Magician's Glove with the Item Creation Machinery.

By the time you have the gloves, you'll have gotten the Skills Sense 1
and Sense 2 from the skill guilds. When you have those, level up the skills
Courage and Poker Face until level 10. 

Hopefully, you've gotten the skill Determination up to level 10 before
upgrading Poker Face and Courage. Doing so will substantially lower the cost
needed to master both from 338 SP to 87 SP.

Both the Theif's Glove and the Magician's Glove are accessories. Equip one.
When your ready to Pickpocket, go up to the person your going to Pickpocket
and hit the SQUARE [] button. You'll hear a "Chhh Chhh" noise and then either
a "Ping" denoting a success, or a "Dhnn Dhnn" denoting failure. If you fail
just try again.

O============================================================================O
| But! I wanna Pickpocket in the beggining!                          (PP003) |
O============================================================================O

Sorry! The first time you can buy Theif's Gloves or Mechanic's Toolbox's is in
Ionis. That's the first time you can ever start Pickpocketing (Unless you a
hax0r).

The next part of the guide is the pickpocketing list.  It is organized
by town, in the order that most people visit them. 

The name of the person I use to identify someone is the name given when you
talk to them.  It is the name thats appears before the body of their message.

Also, I've organized the towns into something that looks like a family tree. 

For example:

your e-mail if you don't do this? Maybe, maybe not. If I have to search my
