<1> Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, here is the third release of this doc. I've decided to name it
1.0 because, although it is not quite complete, my CTS is acting up andI'm feeling cranky. Plus, the few things left to add are relatively
minor.
The things I'm still missing are:
--statistics on HP/SP healing items
--base price for all items
--formula for shop price
--range for all items
--get rid of all of the 'VERIFY' tags by verifying the info
--maximum effective levels for the rest of the specialists
--something about equip change (and its potential for abuse)
--clean up the C code that implements the level gain formula that's
sitting on my hard drive and add it in, or translate it to perl.
--the rest of the hospital items
Although I plan this to be my last big revision for some time,
contributions are welcome, and I'll attempt to give ego tags (credit :-)
to whatever I've gotten from someone else. Thanks go out to djpubba,
JungleJim, Scy046, Luvnuts, James, Richard Mon, Ryan Puckett, Zepy,
Tioaz, all the people on the GameFAQs message board, and anyone else who
I forgot to thank.

<4> Basics
~~~~~~~~~~
Unlike in most RPGs, items in Disgaea are complex entities in their own
right. They have a level, a rarity, may be inhabitted by Specialists
which increase their power, and might be more or less powerful at a
particular level because of actions taken while leveling them. All of
these factors contribute to their potency. In addition, characters get
different levels of benefit from the same item based on a number of
factors.
Every character can hold four items. One must be a weapon ('Wpn'), and
three must be from the 'Etc' category. Monsters can only use
Wpn-Monster weapons, and humanoids can use any Wpn except Wpn-Monster.
Every item that a character holds can increase ten statistics of that
character, and may have other effects:
Rank/Name HP SP ATK DEF INT SPD HIT RES MV JMP
39 Accelerator 200 1000 3 30
40 Cosmic Blade 300 300 2000 300 300 300 300 300
Above are the statistics for a very good pair of shoes and a very good
sword, when the items are normal rarity, with no specialists, at level
0. In practice you will never find items that have no specialists to
start.
The only other type of item has the designation 'Item' and is never
equipped on a character: it is used by a character from inventory.
These items are generally curative (restoring HP and/or SP), although
they do have other uses.
Aside from characters, you have two places to keep items: the Item Bag
and the Warehouse. The Item Bag can hold 16 items; the Warehouse can
hold 256. The only times you can access items in the Warehouse are when
using 'Equip' or 'Item' from the castle menu, or while buying/selling
items at the shops in the castle. You can use or equip items from the
Item Bag while in the Dark Assembly, in battles, at the Item World, and
everywhere that you can use the Warehouse. To switch between the
Warehouse and Item Bag, use left and right.
<5> Item World
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The item world has two main benefits: first, the item world is where you
subdue Specialists, and second, each floor of the item world that you
complete adds a small amount of power to the item. The item world is
also the only place you can get some of the best equipment of the game,
there is an early chapter that requires you to go through at least ten
levels of the item world, and it is necessary to complete the item world
for a Legendary item to get one of the endings of the game.
The item world is essentially a long, randomly generated dungeon. Each
level has random topology, and may include islands, some of which may be
far out of reach.
Each level will always contain a base panel and a 'Dimensional Warp'
which takes you to the next level without completing the current one.
Although portions of the item world may be disconnected, the base panel
and Dimensional Warp will be connected. (The Dimensional Warp may be
too high for any character to jump or be thrown to, or may be otherwise
unreachable, but it will always be *connected* to the base panel.)
Sitting on top of the Dimensional Warp may be an enemy unit with the
special type 'Gatekeeper'. A Gatekeeper will never move from that spot
(and any unit on the Dimensional Warp cannot be lifted). It can,
however, be moved by special attacks such as Triple Strike, or warped
away. Every level will have a minimum of three enemy units. (Note:
Though I have not confirmed it, I am told that very small levels (1
panel by 2 panels) can appear, and will have fewer than three enemies,
since they do not have room for three.)
Every tenth floor in the item world is special. Each one contains an
Item General, Item King, or Item God, and these are the only floors at
which you can leave the Item World without using a Mr. Gency's Exit.
The first Bonus item for these levels is always a Mr. Gency's Exit;
after you get the free one from Karla, this is the only sure way to
acquire one. These floors also have a red background instead of a white
one.
Item Generals appear on levels 10, 20, 40, 50, 70, and 80.
Item Kings appear on levels 30, 60, and 90.
Item God (or Item God 2) appears only on level 100.
If you are stuck or running low on HP, you can leave the Item World at
any time by using a Mr. Gency's Exit. When you use this, you
immediately return to the castle, and will reenter the item at the floor
you left.
There is a single caveat on the use of Mr. Gency's Exit: if you kill an
Item General or King, and choose 'No' when asked if you wish to return
to the castle, then use Mr. Gency's Exit, the game will not count your
Item General or King kill, and you won't get any of the power gain that
you would normally get from the kill.
Except for the caveat above, there is no difference (in terms of the
power of the item) between killing every enemy on every floor, skipping
every floor, and using a Mr. Gency's Exit on every floor, then
reentering, as long as you kill every Item General, King, and God.
Occasionally, a unit will spawn that represents a specialist. When this
happens, the game will show that unit with the work 'CHECK' at the start
of the floor. If you kill this unit, that specialists becomes subdued.
Specialists are described in greater detail below.
<6> Formulas for Item Leveling
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All numbers are related to individual statistics; in particular, the
current number of specialists and the specialist counter are different
for each stat that the item has.
n=level (as shown in battle screen)
x=item generals counter (global to the item)
b=base stat of the item (stat of a Normal item)
c=specialist counter
p=number of specialists currently on the item
i=initial stat of the item (stat of the actual item)
s=1 if i>0, -1 if i<0, or 0 if i=0
All numbers are computed/stored with high precision; however, the floor
of the number is displayed.
Skipping/clearing level n: adds s+i/20+i*x*b/200 to each stat
adds c*3/20 to each stat
Killing an Item General: adds s*b*(20+n)/200 to each stat
adds p*(3+n*3/20) to each stat
adds p to c for each stat
adds 1 to x
Killing an Item King: adds s*b*(20+n)*2/200 to each stat
adds p*(3+n*3/20)*2 to each stat
adds 2*p to c for each stat
adds 2 to x
adds 1 Specialist slot
Killing an Item God (2): adds s*b*(20+n)*3/200 to each stat
adds p*(3+n*3/20)*3 to each stat
adds 1 Specialist slot [see note]
The death of an Item General or Item King is always calculated after the
increase for the level that the General/King was on.
Note: no item can have more than 16 specialist slots.
For those who are interested, Appendix A contains my notes (mostly
tables of item stats) from determining these formulae.
What all of this math really means is that:
You should always kill Item Generals/Kings/Gods.
If you want an extra boost to an item's stats, leave a specialist on the
item while leveling it. Each specialist is worth 270 extra points to
whichever stat it boosts on a Legendary item, if left for all 100 floors
and all Generals/Kings/Gods are killed.
If you want to maximize any particular stat on an item, you have to
subdue and remove all of the native specialists before you defeat the
first Item General; this will require using Mr. Gency's Exit before
finishing floor B10. Once you have removed all of the native
specialists, but before you kill the first Item General, fill every slot
on the item with specialists that boost whatever stat you are trying to
maximize (e.g., to maximize ATK, fill the item with Gladiators). Then,
go back into the item and proceed to level it, killing all Item
Generals, Kings, and God. After killing each Item King, the item gains
a specialist slot, so exit the Item World at that point and put another
specialist on the item.
There is no difference between clearing and skipping floors, as long as
you kill Item Generals/Kings/Gods.
If you level any item with a negative stat to level 100, that negative
stat ends up being exactly -100.
<7> Item Specialists
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Item Specialists are helpful spirits within an item. Every Specialist
adds to the item's power. Specialists come in two forms: subdued and
unsubdued. All specialists start out unsubdued and are displayed in
silver dots or black text on the item screen. Specialists are subdued
through the item world. Once a Specialist is subdued, it is displayed
with blue dots and text, it doubles in power, and it may be transfered
to another item.
Specialists may be combined. This takes two specialists of the same
type and merges them into one Specialist with the power of both. If
either of the old Specialists was unsubdued, the new Specialist will be
unsubdued, and the power of the original subdued Specialist (if any) is
halved before the combination. (This doesn't truly cause you to lose
any power, as it will be doubled again if you subdue the new
Specialist.)
Specialists are subdued by killing them when they appear in the item
world. When a Specialist appears on a level of the item world, it will
show 'CHECK' as the stage is loaded, and it will show in the
'Characters' list in blue text immediately after all enemy units and
immediately before Geo Symbols.
Specialists will attack and be attacked by enemy units in the item
world, so it is a good idea to kill them quickly. If enemy units kill
the Specialist (or you end the stage before killing the Specialist,
either by killing all enemy units or exiting to the next level), the
Specialist will not be subdued. It can, however, reappear at a later
level; it appears that there is a percentage chance of a specialist
appearing on each level, as long as there is an unsubdued specialist in
the item, so you do not have to kill every specialist on its first
appearance.
<8> Specialist Types
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some of this information (especially from the Resistance, Increases, and
Effects) came from the Item World Specialists guide by SephirothYuyX.
VERIFY
All Specialists can be increased to power 19998 (the game will only
allow 9999 as the power for a newly-combined Specialist; to get 19998,
you have to combine a subdued and unsubdued Specialist to produce a 9999
unsubdued Specialist, then subdue it through the item world). However,
many Specialists have a maximum effective power; neither a single
extra-powerful Specialist nor multiple Specialists of lesser power can
give a single character any benefit beyond that level.
Stat Bonuses
Each of these Specialists increases one of the eight statistics of an
item by the Specialist's power level:
Dietician -- HP
Master -- SP
Gladiator -- ATK
Sentry -- DEF
Teacher -- INT
Coach -- SPD
Marksman -- HIT
Physician -- RES
There is no effective limit to these Specialists.
Resistance
Each of these Specialists increases the item wearer's resistance to
a particular form of attack:
Aeronaut -- Wind
Cryophile -- Ice
Firefighter -- Fire
VERIFY
Pharmacist -- Poison
Coffee Maker -- Sleep
Medicine Man -- Paralyze
Psychologist -- Forget
Social Worker -- Deprave
The maximum resistance any character can have to Wind, Ice, or Fire is
90%, which means that the maximum effective power is 140 for Aeronaut,
Cryophile, and Firefighter (due to characters with negative base
resistance).
Increases
Each of these Specialists increases how much of a particular thing the
item wearer gains, each unit of power is equivalent to a single percent
increase in gain (e.g., a character with a power 1 Statistician will
gain 101% of normal experience; a character with a power 300
Statistician will gain 400% of normal experience):
Broker -- HL
Manager -- Mana
Statistician -- Experience
VERIFY
Armsmaster -- Weapon Mastery
The maximum effective power for Broker is 300.
The maximum effective power for Manager is 300.
The maximum effective power for Statistician is 300.
(VERIFY) The maximum effective power for Armsmaster is 2400.
Effects
Each of these Specialists adds a chance of a status effect to attacks
made by the holder of the item:
VERIFY
Alchemist -- Poison
Hypnotist -- Sleep
Witch Doctor -- Paralyze
Amnesiac -- Forget
Gangster -- Deprave
<9> Rarity
~~~~~~~~~~
There are three levels of rarity: normal, rare, and legendary. Below,
the properties of each are listed.
Stat Bonus: Percentage increase of the first 8 stats on the item (HP,
SP, ATK, INT, DEF, SPD, HIT, RES) over the charts below.
Initial Specialist Space: How many Specialists can inhabit the item, at
level 0.
Display: How the name of the item will be displayed on lists.
Identifier: What shows up on the item screen to signify this rarity.
Rarity Number: What rarity numbers correspond to this rarity.
Item World Depth: How many levels exist in the item world within this
type of item.
Notes: Any other information.
Normal
Stat Bonus: None
Initial Specialist Space: 4-7
Display: Flat black text
Identifier: None
Rarity Number: 32-255
Item World Depth: 30
Notes: Only normal items can be purchased from the shop in the castle.
Rare
Stat Bonus: +25% (floor(N * 5 / 4))
Initial Specialist Space: 7-10
Display: Flashing silver text
Identifier: Rare
Rarity Number: 8-31
Item World Depth: 60 (VERIFY)
Notes:
Legendary
Stat Bonus: +50% (floor(N * 3 / 2))
Initial Specialist Space: 10-13
Display: Flashing gold or blue text
Identifier: Legendary
Rarity Number: 0-7
Item World Depth: 100
Notes: Most Legendaries have gold text; Hyperdrive, Super Robo Suit, and
Yoshitsuna have blue text and oversized icons.
<10> Item Benefit
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You may notice when equipping an item that you gain more or less benefit
from that item than its listed stats. There are four reasons for this:
Weapon Mastery, character level, stat aptitude, and identical rarity
bonus.
Aptitude
Every class has aptitudes for each of the eight basic stats; these vary
from 50% to 150% and show up on the character creation screen and on the
character status screen. Aptitudes act as a multiplier to stat gains
from items; for example, a level 1 character equipping a normal Muscle
World (1000HP) will get 500HP with a 50% HP Aptitude, 1000HP with a 100%
HP Aptitude, or 1500HP with a 150% HP Aptitude. The adjustment for
Aptitude is applied after all other modifiers.
Weapon Mastery
When equipping a non-monster weapon, you get a bonus to all of weapon's
stats equal to the equipping character's Weapon Mastery for that weapon
type times 5%. The formula is (weapon stat)*(1 + mastery*.05). The
maximum Weapon Mastery is 255, so the maximum Mastery bonus is 1275%.
Character Level
For monster weapons and accessories, you get a bonus based on the level
of the character. These bonuses do not normally apply until the
postgame, since they do not start until level 100, but they become quite
substantial at later levels. They are calculated by the following
formulas (thanks to Zepy for these):
lev <= 100: stat [no adjustment]
100 <= lev <= 500: stat * floor((lev + 100) / 2) / 100
500 <= lev <= 2000: stat * floor((lev + 1000) / 5) / 100
2000 <= lev : stat * floor((lev + 4000) / 10) / 100
The maximum level is 9999, so the maximum level bonus is 1299%, or just
a little higher than the maximum Mastery bonus.
Identical Rarity
If a character has more than one item with the same rarity equipped,
then all such items recieve a boost in power. This works as a
multiplier after weapon mastery and character level bonuses are applied.
The multiplier ranges from 1.1 to 1.3, depending on how many items with
identical rarity are equipped:
# Items Multiplier
1 1
2 1.1
3 1.2
4 1.3
For example, if a level 1 character equips a normal Nightvision and a
normal Muscle Ace, that character will normally get +50 INT, +200 HIT,
and +200 HP. However, if the Muscle Ace and Nightvision happen to have
the same rarity number--for example, if they both have rarity 46 on the
item status screen--then the character will get +55 INT, +220 HIT, and
+220 HP, due to the identical rarity bonus.
Rank/Name HP SP ATK DEF INT SPD HIT RES MV JMP
17 Nightvision 50 200
14 Muscle Ace 200
<11> Item Ranks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each item is assigned a 'rank', which roughly determines how 'good' the
item is. Ranks go from 1 to 42, and they determine what level of
enemies will be found in the item world for that item. Below are the
'LV+' ranks for level 1 from the 'Go to Item World' screen (thanks to
JungleJim for producing this table):
Rank LV+ Rank LV+ Rank LV+ Rank LV+ Rank LV+
1 1 10 10 19 25 28 47 37 76
2 1 11 11 20 27 29 50 38 79
3 2 12 12 21 29 30 53 39 127
4 3 13 14 22 31 31 56 40 255
5 4 14 16 23 34 32 59 41 255
6 5 15 17 24 36 33 62
7 5 16 19 25 39 34 66
8 7 17 21 26 41 35 69
9 8 18 22 27 44 36 73
The levels listed are *minimum* levels; in general, the enemies on any
given floor will be higher level than the LV+ number. Also, these
numbers are for floor 1; later floors have more powerful enemies.
<12> Hospital Items
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Hospital gives you prizes whenever reach certain numbers for each of
HP, SP, and Dec (Deceased) healed. Thanks to JungleJim for these
tables:
HP Prize SP Prize Dec Prize
100 Muscle Brawn 50 Common Orb 5 Caterpillar Egg
400 Muscle Hustle 100 Imperial Seal
1000 Muscle Spirit 200 Psyche Orb
2000 Muscle Fight 500 Dark Orb
5000 Muscle Ace 1000 Blood Orb
10000 Muscle Victory 2000 Star Orb
40000 Muscle Dream 5000 Moon Orb
10000 King Orb
<13> Ultimate Items
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'ultimate' items of the game are very difficult to acquire, but
worth it (and necessary to beat the most powerful enemy in the game).
For weapons, they are acquired by entering a Legendary item one level of
power below of the same type, fighting to level 100, and stealing it
from the Item God there.
Once you have any item of rank 40 or above, you can level it to 100,
then steal another Legendary item of the same type from the Item God 2
at floor B100.
For reference, the Item God 2 I'm currently fighting has these stats:
(No 'More Difficult Enemies' bills passed)
Level 6,933 [Fixed]
HP: 10,184,640
SP: 199,698
ATK: 186,416
DEF: 141,452
HIT: 147,000
INT: 176,816
SPD: 147,000
RES: 135,906
EXP: 36,643,537,935
NEXT: 10,573,275
Skills: Omega Wind (Mastery 80)
Tera Ice (Mastery 80)
Star (Mastery 80)
Except for the level, you can expect these numbers to vary somewhat
(+/-10%), but you need to be prepared before you attempt to kill (or
steal from) Item God 2.
The ultimate items are:
Wpn-Axe: Apocalypse (VERIFY)
Wpn-Fist: Ultimus
Wpn-Sword: Yoshitsuna
Wpn-Spear: Glorius
Wpn-Gun: Etoile
Wpn-Bow: Galaxy (VERIFY)
Wpn-Monster: Nyanko Soul
Etc-Robot: Super Robo Suit
Etc-Engine: Hyperdrive
The Super Robo Suit can be stolen from Baal.
The Hyperdrive you get automatically from defeating an Item God 2.
Monster weapons are a little different. The rank 40 monster weapon is
Nyanko Soul, which can be acquired at the end of a Lucifer Force, or can
be raken from Majorly. There are also a rank 41 and rank 42 monster
weapon. The rank 41 is the Nemesis, which is a better weapon than Nyanko
Soul; it can be stolen from Baal. The rank 42, Nemesis Mk II, is stolen
from Prinny Baal, and has better base stats than the Nemesis--but it
comes at level 100, and Baal apparently doesn't kill any Item Generals/
Kings/Gods, nor does he subdue any specialists when leveling his items.
There is no simple way to get a Legendary second-best item. The easiest
way is to play around in high-level item worlds until you see one appear
either on the Bonus screen or in some enemy's inventory. For reference,
they are:
Wpn-Axe: Durandal (VERIFY)
Wpn-Fist: God's Fist
Wpn-Sword: Cosmic Blade
Wpn-Spear: Longinus
Wpn-Gun: Infernal Gun
Wpn-Bow: Artemis Bow (VERIFY)
Wpn-Monster: Lucifer Force (VERIFY)
See the Item World Strategies section for advice on how to deal with the
Item World.
<14> Item World Strategies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Item World gives many people headaches; here are some strategies for
dealing with particularly tricky situations, and for treasure hunting.
The single most important rule for the Item World is: always make sure
that there is a Mr. Gency's Exit in your Item Bag when going through the
Item World. This item will let you escape from the current floor, and
when you re-enter the item, you will return to the same floor, but it
will have a new, randomly-generated layout.
The most common Item World problems come from Geo Panels, particularly
No Lifting and Invincibility. Although the details of setting up Geo
Chains is outside the scope of this guide, it is important to know the
ways of getting rid of Geo Symbols:
1. Reduce symbol to 0 HP through attacks.
2. Throw symbol into enemy unit.
3. Enemy unit thrown into symbol.
4. Damage from a color change will always destroy a Geo Symbol.
5. The Scout "Geo Change" ability will randomly reset the Geo Panels and
symbols on a field.
So, for example, if you have a Gatekeeper that is Invincible, and the
Invincibility symbol is out of reach, you can destroy another symbol on
the same color of Geo Panel (probably by throwing it onto an enemy or
throwing an enemy onto it).
The other problem that sometimes happens is that the Dimensional Gate is
at a location that is inaccessible due to height problems--for example,
it is at the top of a high pillar. For this problem, there are two
solutions: good throwers, and good jumpers. Rogues make the best
throwers, and may be able to throw a character to a location that would
otherwise be inaccessible. For jumpers, at low levels Ninjas and Scouts
have the best jumping ability; late in the game, Ninjas and Majins do.
Equip one of these with the best shoes you can find.
Treasure hunting requires more strategy than mere survival does; while
the steps outlined above should suffice to get you through almost any
undesirable layout, more is required to get Bonus Meter items and items
from enemy inventories.
First, when treasure hunting, always check the Bonus and Character
options on the battle menu to see if there is something that you want.
Then, if there is, you need to figure out how to get it.
If the item is in an enemy inventory, it is usually easy to get. Simply
have a Rogue use a Hand item from your Item Bag on the enemy, and,
unless the enemies severely outclass you, you should have no problem
stealing whatever you want. (The Rogue's level should be slightly over
half of the enemy's level.)
If you want an item from the bonus meter, things get a little trickier.
You have to both fill the Bonus meter and kill every enemy on the level.
Filling the Bonus Meter is most easily done through Geo Chains (as
explained in the in-game tutorial and other guides), but can be done
through other means:
1. Geo Chains
2. Killing a unit
3. Counterattacking
4. Combo Attacking
5. Team Attacking
Except for Geo Chains, the individual bonuses tend to be small. Note
that the meter will rise a little further if a Rogue participates in the
action. Also note that, if there are few Geo Panels on a level, you can
clear them in a chain, then use Geo Change and clear the new set,
getting a bonus both times.
Once you have filled the Bonus Meter (at least high enough to get the
desired item(s)), you have to kill every enemy unit on the level. This
can sometimes be difficult, particularly when the enemies are on
far-away islands. In this case, there are a few tricks to help. First,
you can try to throw characters to the enemies' islands; the Rogue is
best for this with a throw of 6. Also use the diagonal throw technique:
if you hit 'X' while rocking the D-pad back and forth between two
directions, the game will allow you to throw a character in between
those two directions.
If you can't throw a character (either because there are no free spaces
on the island or because it is too far away), then you have to use
ranged attacks. Guns have the longest range for normal attacks; magic
is best for things that are just outside of gun range. However, the
longest-range attack in the game is Dark Cannon, the other Scout skill.
Dark Cannon can attack any place on the board that is not blocked by a
wall; unfortunately, after the initial attack it will fire on the
closest unit--ally or enemy--at the end of each turn, so you must move
your characters away quickly (lifting and throwing the cannon helps as
well).
Lastly, rely on your own cleverness. The Item World is randomly-
generated, and although it has some constraints, some very strange and
very difficult layouts sometimes appear. Hopefully these strategies
will help you get through them.
<15> Theft
~~~~~~~~~~
Theft is a very important ability late in the game. It is the only way
to get the best items, and it is an easy way to get good items in the
endgame.
To steal, you have to use one of the 'Hand' items (Stealing Hand,
Plunder Hand, Cha-Ching Hand, Bandit's Hand, Awesome Hand). Simply go
to 'Item' on the character action menu, select the hand you want to use,
and move the cursor to the character you want to steal from. (Note: if
you fail, you do not lose the hand.)
Rogues are *much* better at stealing than other classes, though any
class can steal. Their levels count double in the formula, they have
twice the maximum chance to steal, and they can steal opponents' stats
as well as items.
Rogues have a chance to steal items and stats governed by the following
formula (thanks to Scy046):
c = h + t*2 + 25 - e - r*3 - a
c: The percentage chance to steal.
h: The HIT statistic of the hand being used (including specialists).
t: The level of the thief.
e: The level of the enemy.
r: The rank of the item.
a: 0 if the rarity of the item is Normal, 10 if the rarity is Rare, 30
if the rarity is Legendary, or 100 if the item has rarity 0.
Statistics are considered Normal rank 0 items for this equation.
A Rogue can have, at most, a 99% chance to steal.
Other classes have a chance to steal items governed by the following
formula:
c = h + t - 30 - e - r*3 - a
c: The percentage chance to steal.
h: The HIT statistic of the hand being used (including specialists).
t: The level of the thief.
e: The level of the enemy.
r: The rank of the item.
a: 0 if the rarity of the item is Normal, 10 if the rarity is Rare, 30
if the rarity is Legendary, or 100 if the item has rarity 0.
Non-Rogues cannot steal statistics.
Non-Rogues can have, at most, a 50% chance to steal.
What this means is that you should use Rogues to steal, and if you
always want to have a 99% chance to steal, make sure your Rogue's level
is at least (enemy level / 2 + 141), and use vanilla, level 0 Bandit's
Hands. A level 1 Rogue should be able to steal anything with a Hand
with at least 7062 hit, but you'd be wasting a lot of Marksmen.

<A> Maximum ATK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since the question arises on a regular basis, this section outlines the
maximum ATK a character can have, prior to using Extra Gain and stat
theft.
The optimum character, somewhat surprisingly, is Thursday. This is
surprising since Thursday cannot Transmigrate, and therefore misses out
on Transmigration bonuses, and cannot equip the Yoshitsuna, which is, by
far, the most powerful weapon in the game.
However, both of these flaws are vastly overcompensated by Thursday's
150% aptitude in almost all stats.
The most powerful weapon Thursday can equip is the Nemesis. (The
Nemesis Mk II is better in theory, but since you steal it already
leveled to 100, and Baal does not kill Item Generals/Kings/Gods, the
Nemesis is actually better.)
To truly maximize the Nemesis, you have to get one with 13 specialist
slots at level 0, subdue and remove all specialists before completing
floor 10, and fill it with Gladiators. Then, after killing each Item
King (and thereby adding another slot to the item), fill the new slot
with another Gladiator. If you do this, it adds 3,888 ATK to the item.
The Nemesis at level 100 has 45,100 ATK, if you kill all Item
Generals/Kings/Gods.
The Nemesis with 13 slots at level 0 will have 16 slots at level 100.
These must all be filled by power 19998 Gladiators. If you do all of
this, then your Nemesis will have:
3888 (spec. bonus) + 45100 (level 100) + 319968 (specs) = 368956 ATK
You must then do the same thing with 3 Legendary Champion Belts, making
sure that each has 13 specialist slots at level 0 and that each has the
exact same rarity number as the Nemesis.
3888 (spec. bonus) + 27100 (level 100) + 319968 (specs) = 350956 ATK
Equip the Nemesis and all three Champion Belts on Thursday, at level
9999:
(368956 + 3*350956) * 13.99 (level 9999) * 1.3 (rarity bonus) *
1.5 (aptitude) = 38,788,069 ATK
Add Thursday's intrinsic ATK:
10 (base stat) + 9998 (level gains) * .45 (level gain multiplier) *
10 (base stat) = 45,001 ATK
For a grand total of 38,833,060 ATK.
The second-best character for ATK is Priere, and the third-best
character for ATK is a Divine Majin. However, there is no known cap on
the number of points that can be gained through Extra Gain and stat
stealing, which makes these kinds of evaluations somewhat irrelevant.
(Though it should be noted that, once it is set up, getting points
through Extra Gain should be much faster than getting points through
stat theft.)

Other notes:
Level 0-10, no exit, same as exitting at Level 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10.
Accidentally discovered that using Mr. Gency at level 11, without
exitting at level 10, erases Item General Kill.
Created a level 0 Infernal Gun with no specialists by using 4 Mr.
Gency's Exits on level B1, and saving/reloading a bunch of times. The
odds of a specialist appearing on level 1 seem to better than 1 in 4, as
long as there is an unsubdued specialist in the item. Other items I did
not do this with, but values come out the same, which supports my
theories. The Cosmic Blade I took out for testing, always removed its
native residents by exitting at level 9; all other items were me getting
Coaches so that I could do an 8-Coach test.
Belts are so that I can determine equations for negative stats.

Then Scy046 goes and mentions this formula:
[Chance to steal =] (Hit of Hand + Rogue's Levelx2) - ((Enemy Level +
25) + z(Rank*3 + R))
R = 0 for normal, 10 for rare, 30 for legendary
Which, when corrected to this:
[Chance to steal =] (Hit of Hand + Rogue's Levelx2) -
((Enemy Level - 25) + z(Rank*3 + R))
or
[Chance to steal =] (Hit of Hand + Rogue's Levelx2) - Enemy Level + 25 -
Rank*3 - R
is perfect, saving me a lot of work.

Monster weapons(calculated by character levels):

lvl 101 ~ 500: ((lvl - 100) / 2 + 100)%
lvl 501 ~ 2000: ((lvl - 500) / 5 + 300)%
lvl 2001 and above: ((lvl - 2000) / 10 + 600)%
Just add in aptitudes and note that the divisions above are integer
division (thus floor'ed):
lev <= 100: floor(stat * apt / 100)
100 <= lev <= 500: floor(stat * apt * floor((lev - 100) / 2 + 100) / 10000)
