ThiefThe Thief class is a very unique class, for their potential is

great when the player knows how to correctly play them. As athief you will be one of the most powerful classes in the game

at high levels being able to deal out enormous amounts of

DPS. While learning the thief class is very important, for it will

make or break the thief. For the thief is the most dependent

class of the players actually skill rather than just mashing

buttons.

As a Thief you will have the choice to become an Assassin

which attacks at range at the fastest attack speeds in thegame, or a Bandit which will use a dagger to do close melee

attacks at incredibly fast speeds. Either way you are a class

of stealth with the main goal of DPS and not being hit.

Thief from the start

When you first start your character every time you level you will receive 5

ability points to add stats. You want to know how to use these ability points

from the very start to make sure your Thief is at his full power. When youlevel up click on F keyboard to bring up your stat screen, this is where you

will be able to allocate your points into the stats of your choice.

The main stat for a Thief is DEX and LUK, you always want to make sure

your DEX is 2 times the amount of your level and the rest of your points

should be going into LUK.


3/24

So if you are level 10 your DEX should be 20, if you are level 30 your DEX

should be 60, get the point? So while doing this always make sure you are

putting the rest of your points into LUK, for DEX and LUK should be the

only two stats that you are putting points into. For it is very important for a

Thief to have very high DEX for speed and accuracy and to have very highLUK for avoidability.

Advancing to a Thief

Once you hit level 10 you are now ready to become a Thief. So head over

to Perry and ask Shanks to leave Maple Island. You will then be teleported

over to Lith Harbor. Once you are at Lith Harbor go to the ticket booth and

buy a ticket to Kerning City. Once in Kerning City, go to the left and look for

the Fusion Jazz Bar. Inside of the bar youll find the Dark Lord who will

advance you to a thief.

Thief Builds

As a Thief you are going to have to have the choice of advancing at level 3

to either a Bandit or an Assassin. While you do not have to choose until

your level 30, it is a very good idea to know which one you will advance to

as soon as you hit level 10 that way you may spec and use your Skill

Points in the correct build that will help you down the road to which everclass you choose.

As an Assassin you are a quick range attacker that becomes one of the

most powerful classes in the game. While as an Assassin you can travel

the world fast and do extreme amounts of damage from afar, but the

downside to Assassins is that they are very expensive to train. For you will

need to spend a lot of money as an Assassin while leveling him and

training him but as you reach higher levels you will be rewarded.

As a Bandit you will be able to deal enormous amounts of damage at high

levels out dealing Assassins and they cost less money to train while

leveling and buying armor. While the Bandit is extremely fast and can

dodge a lot of enemys attacks, they still have to go toe to toe with their

foes dealing melee attacks while an Assassin can kill from afar.

Thief Training

(Levels 10 30)

Now that you have an idea of how you will spec your Thief, it is now time to

actually go out and start leveling. The key is finding areas that do not havea lot of competition with other players, and that you are able to kill the

monster in 2 3 hits. Anything thing higher than that is to powerful and

anything lower then that will not give you enough EXP. You also want to

find a place where the monsters have a fast respawn rate so there will be

as little down time as possible. As you level and explore zones you will get

the feel for which areas are good for your level and give good EXP.

Levels 10 - 15

MonsterRed Snail

Slime

Location Field, Forest Field, Forest, Dungeon

Start off killing snails for quick EXP, the first zone to the east of Hersheys is a greatplace to fight. Each level has a higher monster that you can kill as you level to 15

Levels 15 - 20

MonsterPig

Orange Mushroom

Location Field, Forest Field, Forest, Dungeon

Once you hit 15 you should start killing Pigs and Mushrooms, they can be found in

almost zone outside of a major city. Try to find somewhere that is not crowded.
