[Stealing] Pub 57 Stealing from Monsters info

Publish 57, December 2008 introduced the ability to steal various items from monsters:

• A given monster can be stolen from once in its lifetime
• Gold, bandages, gems, potions, scrolls
• Thieves with GM skills or higher have a chance at stealing rare items
  • Seed of Life, Mana Draught, Gem of Salvation, Balm of Strength, Balm of Wisdom, Balm of Swiftness, Balm of protection, Stone Skin Lotion and Life Shield Lotion.

Drop rate on stealables:

• GM Stealing: 2%
• 100.1 to 110 Stealing: 5%
• 110.1 to 119.9 Stealing: 8%
• 120.0 Stealing: 10%

Stealing Bonus based on monster fame
For the purposes of stealing, a monster's fame is now scaled from 1 to 40 (previous fame levels 1 to 5). Level 40 being the equivalent of 30,000 fame points. The higher the fame level, the higher the stealing bonus.
Stealing bonus by fame level:
0 % below level 15
1% below level 25
2% below level 35
3% below level 40
5% at level 40
So a thief with 120 skills stealing from a level 40 monster would have a 15% chance of obtaining a rare drop.
Players cannot steal twice from the same monster
Rare items only drop in Fel Dungeons and Champ Spawn areas (all facets)

The stealables are consumables. Using a Balm or Lotion while one is already active will replace the effects of the first, not combine them. The list includes:
Seed of Life: Uninsurable. When eaten, instantly heals between 25 to 40 HP, even through poison and mortal wounds. 10 min cooldown.
Mana Draught: Uninsurable. When drunk, the player instantly recovers between 25 to 40 mana points. 10 min cooldown.
Gem of Salvation: Blessed. Upon death, the carrier will have the option to invoke its power to self-resurrect, destroying the gem in the process. Unlike Sacrifice, the player’s belongings will remain on his corpse and he will be resurrected with the same minimum health as he would if rezzing at a shrine. 6 hours cooldown.

The information is taken straight from the publish 57 notes from uo.com, with the addition of the images. I'll edit, it would appear EA's information is incorrect.
