I got the Hook Swords cause I heard they prevent stealing but Forj keeps stealing my stuff anyways, even stealing my hooks and using them against me. Are the hooks not 100% protection or do they not work against Forj? Or just a glitch/bug?

;-; I'm up to 55 kills but Forj keeps stealing my stuff.

Only the blessing prevents stealing. It's has a 25 percent chance of activation according to Subetalodge, so there will be windows of opportunity for Forj to steal your weapons.

Oh....OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH. Welp that bites. Thank you then. XD

You're welcome I'd look into another water attacker like the Prodigy staff, Trident, or Unstable Sample Syringe haven't already. You can also consider BoNA mods or another weapon like the Turkey Quill that generates stealing fodder.
