Say you're in a God LS that does 15 Gods a week along with at least 5 HNM and various other little mobs that can still be mugged. Being a Thief, you probably think Mug is a PoS move that isn't worth anything. I know I thought that for awhile. Consider this.
You have been in the LS for a year. 52 weeks, 1040 if not more Gods/HNMs in that year. This is assuming it's a LS that does what it's called btw. Now let's assume you Mug for 3-4k because you have the AF2Hat. Let's average it at 3500.
1,040*3,500=3,640,000Gil from 1 Ability for free, now this is also considering you only mug once per God/HNM. It also doesn't include Hktk runs, Ose, Wyvernpoacher, Sozu Rogberry and various other NMs. Also Mugging the Pop NMs in Sky can yield the same amound as mugging from a God itself. So let's assume in this year you mugged 500NMs other than the ones your LS hunts.
3,640,000 + 1,750,000=5,390,000Gil
That alone is more than some players make in a year and it's only off that one move. It doesn't even include money from the drops you get or the money from the Gil itself that they drop.
Powerful isn't it?
Now let's look at another funny scenario. Mobs can be Mugged multiple times as long as it's not all at once. So let's say there are 18 Thieves in an alliance living in The Boyahda Tree. All they ever do is fight Aquarius and for the fun of it, let's assume that they never kill it, and that they are never interupted for a year.
365 Days -> 8,760 Hours -> 525,600 Minutes -> 18 Thieves -> 630,720 Mugs
Let's assume they get an average of 2k per Mug.
1,261,440,000Gil would be the conclusion. Kind of interesting. Borderline impossible, but interested.
So anyway, I've been hearing rumors here and there that Mug lowers the chance of getting drops on these Gods/HNMs/NMs and because of this I can't Mug them. Now until I see some concrete proof that it does in fact lower drop rates, if anyone tells me that I can't mug without showing that proof, I'd like 3k every 15 minutes while fighting.
Thanks!
