Thief Best Abilities

Recommended Abilities

Ability
(Learning Level)		 Reason for Recommendation
Master Thief
(Lv 10)		 This ability doubles the success rate of stealing, making it essential for any Thief. Since stealing is one of the class's defining traits, mastering this ability ensures a much higher chance of successfully acquiring items from enemies.
Godspeed Strike
(Lv 9)		 This is a unique attack ability where Speed directly affects damage output. Since it ignores the enemy's defenses, a Thief with high agility can easily deal massive damage, making it a highly effective offensive tool.
Rob Blind
(Lv 11)		 This is an extremely convenient ability that allows you to steal two items from an enemy at once. By combining it with other stealing commands, you can efficiently collect valuable equipment.
Life Thief
(Lv 4)		 A special ability that restores HP equal to the damage dealt by a normal attack. If you have Master Thief, the success rate is doubled, allowing the user to attack and heal at the same time.

How to Play the Thief

Top Class Speed

The Thief is one of the top-tier attackers among all jobs, having the highest speed and high DPS. With their exceptional agility, combined with lightweight weapons such as daggers, they can unleash rapid strikes that deal significant damage.

High Probability of Stealing

The primary abilities that Thieves learn are Steal, Mug, Rob Blind, and Shake Down, all of which allow them to steal items from enemies. With the Master Thief ability, the success rate of these skills is significantly increased, making it possible to steal with an almost 100% success rate.
