Unless something's been changed in the last few months or so you can learn steal
quite quickly. It just takes patience like anything else. I don't know why
after an hour you haven't gotten better though at least once. I used to practice
it on mobs that were much lower than my character. It is harder to steal from mobs
that are higher from what I can tell. The shop keepers can be a bit annoying at times.
I used to steal from the wizard all the time as did almost every other thief I talked
to. Perhaps the gods got sick of the wizard not having any money and made it tougher.
Try finding a mob to just give items to and steal from. I used to use ribs from udgaard.
Give rib mob, steal rib mob over and over. Good luck.
