    I just had something stolen from me from the Pant Devil even though I had the Pant Devil Attractor in my inventory (it should have taken the Pant Devil Attractor instead). Does it just not work or does it only work some of the time?

    How many of these attractors do you put in your inventory ?

    I always get 4 to 5 of them in my inventory.

    There's even someone who has done researches about the pant devil attractors.

    The pant devil almost always goes for the most expensive item. Pant devil attractors only work if there are a lot of them like 4 - 5.
    1 attractor - 70-90% chance he will get an item(depends on how expensive)
    2 attractors - 40-60% chance he will get an item
    3 attractors - 20-30%
    4 attractors - 10-15%
    5 attractors - 0-2%

    --> Based on personal experience

    yeah if you notice when some people put huge items in trades there are about 4 or 5 pda's on the lot too

    each one decreases the chances of the pant devil taking your items, but it's never guaranteed

    Why keep anything valuable in your inventory to begin with? As soon as I get anything worth a decent amount I put it straight in my SDB. That way all I have in my inventory is omelettes and other crappy food items :yup:

    I think the idea of the attractor, is that you'd have a better chance they'd take THAT rather than your item, but I think it's still a possibility of them taking other stuff-- It's not really a fail-safe, in a way (unless like, previously said you stick a whole bunch of them in there at once with your item).... It seems excessive to buy so many of those when you could just put it away in a shop/gallery/SBD. :)

    yes, but there's a chance that it could be taken in the 3-4 page views that takes
