1) Equip thief gloves

2) Steal, steal, steal until you the 100% rare item drop

3) Go two screens away, then come back

4) Go to step 2

All of these rare monsters have nice things to steal with thief gloves, many of them which make getting nice weapons at the Bazaar easier. If you kill them, then you can't steal from them ever again. :-(

#2 and #26 stand out in my mind, because they give you Admanatite and Mithril respectively, key ingredients for making a 2nd Masamune and the Tournesol.

Mythril can be dropped by the Mythril Golems in Giruvegan.

Masamune can be bought at the Bazaar through selling these loot:

(2) Gemsteel

(3) Orichalcum - dropped by Deidare in the Pharos

(2) Mallet

Tournesol can be bought at the Bazaar through selling these loot:

(3) Gemsteel

(3) Empyreal Soul - sell (1) High Arcana, (1) Soul Powder {dropped by Etem in Henne Mines} , (2) Wargod's Band {dropped by Leynir in Nabreus Deadlands}

(3) Serpentarius - Clan Reward for 13 Espers {or} Steal from Zodiark {or} sell (1) High Arcana (4) Snake Skin (2) Serpent Eye
