The description for Smuggler's Edge states:
You'll notice my character has no fighting ability, the summoned daemon runs interference for my character and does the fighting.
In addition it only gives a 5% chance of a steal while fighting. I have a better chance of a result by using the stealing skill.
Therefore the item is not particularly useful to me. Nor do I particularly want either of its two special items
I thought that upon using the smuggler's edge it "added up" to the chance of stealing a special rare item (
"If your Stealing skill is over 100.0, you can get a bonus to the appearance ratio of a rare item.")...
That is, "any" rare special item not just the 2 mentioned....
That is, I understood, if without the smuggler's edge a 120 stealing character stealing on a level 5 Fame monster can have a 10% + 5% = 15% chance of stealing 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, upon using a Smuggler's Edge the chance of stealing one of these items would increase to a better 20%....

http://www.uoguide.com/Smuggler's_Edge says :
In addition to the existing rare items, the following two rare items may be able to be stolen only at the time of stealing with a Smuggler's Edge.
So, my understanding was that the Smuggler's Edge should add up (
in addition...) another 5% to the 15% max possible chance (making it a total 20% chance...) when stealing rare items from Monsters without it...
Basically my understanding was :
+10% chance at a rare item from being 120.0 stealing skill ;
+ 5% chance at a rare item from stealing from a level 5 Fame Monster ;
+ 5% chance at a rare item from using a Smuggler's Edge in the process.
Total = 20% chance at a rare item steal from level 5 Fame Monsters being a Legendary thief and using a Smuggler's Edge.
Did I understand it wrong ?
