Can anyone clarify how the parchment pieces are obtained following the Feb. 2021 patch: Does this mean Founy and Tani now always spawn with the parchment pieces but a minimum pickpocket skill is required? I've attempted to pickpocket these with a level 20 and 30 Rogue (pickpocket skill 105 and 155 respectively) but always get a unsuccessful message. After rereading the patch message I'm wondering if I need a higher pickpocket skill.
After levelling to 35 and getting pickpocket skill 180 I was finally able to successfully pickpocket Founy. I pickpocketed a few coin and got the parchment after 25 attempts on the first respawn.
they always have it unless recently PP. That doesn't mean that you will PP it on the first attempt, you might PP 2 junk items before you get the Partchment
