I was farming kindred crests in Monastic Cavern and decided to try Despoil to see if it now worked. Instead of a gold beastcoin which steal gets me when I used despoil I got a Dhalmel steak...
So maybe it will become useful after all. :P Anyone else noticed what items despoil nets? I may check and see if wiki has a list started...But ya, just wanted to share my finding. XD
