Hey, can anyone tell me what the chance to get a Sword-Cane from robbing the soldier and the Ratwork Watch from robbing the Rattus Faber? I know it's a rare success, but I'd like the numbers.

I have 'acquired' three sword sticks this way. Sadly, for the uncounted drunken rats I have 'assisted', I have never acquired a watch. Someone really should do something about the lax morals of Spite's rats. Are there not Ladies who start Good Causes for such miscreants?

The Sword Cane is +2 Persuasive, +2 Dangerous. Not particularly impressive, but a cool side-grade for the starter weapon (2 stats, instead of 1). With multiple "outfits", you can keep it for the alternative stat, even if you have the Persuasive/Dangerous starting weapon. The real draw for robbing the Soldier is the free healing tonic.
I read that the Rare Success of the Rat is around 1.5% It may be lower. Personally, I really want that watch... Way better than my current Watchful weapon.

I have almost 6000 fists full of surface currency, just now, and have sold some to the Bazaar. I'm sure I 'found' nearly all of it near drunken rats. Maybe I have been assisting the wrong caliber of rat.

I managed to get a watch after *months* of trying - on the same day the RNG gave me a Blemmigan Secretary. I can only assume my absence made it temporarily forget how much it hated me.

I am not certain, but I think I read before that it was around 1/200 for each.

Thanks! I remember getting it when I was robbing the soldier, but I failed to look at the stats and instead sold it in favor of my bag of fierce mint humbugs.
