Tactics - Poaching Advice

I’m playing Tactics again for the Nth time, and this time around I’m trying to get every item in the game. That means a lot of poaching for me. I’m currently trying to get Rubber Suits from Hydras. When I get into Deep Dungeon, I’m going to breed some Uribos to get some Ribbons. But I’m having a hard time getting the rare items when I poach.

Are there any tricks to getting the rare items? I know when your Move-Find person has low Brave, they find rare items easier. Is there some poaching equivelant? I know Brave has nothing to do with it, I experimented with that. Could Faith influence it at all? Does it have anything to do with the zodiac sign of the monster and what date you poach them? Is a certain job better at poaching? Does the monster’s level matter? Or is it predetermined at birth what item the monster will poach into?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I don’t think there’s any way to raise the likelihood of getting the rare items. 8-\

Damn.

Lets say I have two hydras in my party, and I bring them into battle and poach them. I go to the fur shop and they don’t have what I want. If I reload from my previous save and do it again, am I just going to get the same result over and over?

Probably not, but I can’t be sure.

You’d think that since FFT has such a huge complex system, there has to be some underlying formula for poaching. I just need to figure it out.
