| | ==Description== |
| | Thieves are sinister people. They can run and jump fast, they can hide and best of all, they do some of the most damage in MapleStory. Thieves are one of the most used classes in [[MapleStory]]. They are also the second-most expensive class in MapleStory, due to the expenses tied to recharging/buying throwing-stars unless you are becoming a [[Bandit]] of course. |

| | '''Requirement''': Level 10 (That's it. With v6.5 NEXON has made it so players can go all [[STR]] on Maple Island [ this is not available in all servers, though ] ) |
|
| |
|
| "They handle daggers and claws, and use skills such as stealing, moving fast, etc to help themselves.
| | Go to Fusion Jazz Bar in [[Kerning City]] at level 10 which is somewhere on the right part of [[Kerning]], left of the Taxi. Talk to the [[Dark Lord]] and he'll advance you as a Thief if you have the requirement stats. |
| Clothing-wise, to move quickly and unnoticeably, they prefer tight clothes with bland colors that don't attract unnecessary attention.
| |
|
| |
|
| The job order for the thieves reveals a 2-way job route.
| | For [[Dual Blade]]rs, they must pick the "Dual Blade" choice on the character creation. Then they must do their usual tasks to become a Thief. Afterward, they must do a series of level 10-20 quests to actually become a Dual Blade. |
| In order to advance as one of these jobs, various requirements need to be fulfilled. You should take time deciding what kind of a thief you want to become down the road before committing to route."

| It's been many months on end since MapleGlobal first started, and since then, many thieves have spawned from the abyss. This guide has been created to be relevant with the thief population and to help all those who wish to become a thief. This guide automatically assumes you are a complete beginner.

| Question. What is [[AP]]?
| | ===Thief Guides=== |
| | *[[Thief (Guide)|Thief Guide]] - '' by MapleTip'' (Original) |
| | *[[Thief Training Reference]] |
| | *[[My Simple Yet Amazing Theif Guide]] |
|
| |
|
| Answer. AP stands for "ability point". Ability points are points that you put on certain stats, which include STR, DEX, INT, LUK, HP, and MP. You get 5 ability points every time you level up.
| | ===Dexless Thief Guides=== |
| | *[[Dexless Assasin Guide|Dexless Assassin Guide]] - ''by Randymal'' Updated 16th April. |
| | *[[My Dexless Build| Dexless Thief]] - ''by Twilíght'' |
| | *[[Dexless Daggers| Dexless Dagger List]] - ''by ttaffy'' |
|
| |
|
| Q. Why should I try to get the lowest stats on STR and INT rather than trying to get the highest stats on DEX and LUK?
| | ===Claw Thief Guides=== |
| | *[[Claw thief/sin guide]]- Detailed Guide |
| | *[[Mapledude132's Claw Thief Guide]] - ''by [[User:Mapledude132|Mapledude132]]'' |
| | *[[HunterRicky's Claw Thief Guide|Claw Thief Guide]] - ''by HunterRicky'' |
|
| |
|
| A. As a thief, you are, by default, weak up with warrior weapons (i.e. swords, blunt weapons, etc), but strong with stars and daggers. As you level up, these extra ability points will be useless, and you will be weaker in your melee damage too (excluding dagger damage). Therefore, we try to maximise your damage by reducing the number of unnecessary ability points.
| | === Assassin Guides === |
| | *Any Updated Guide is available. |
|
| |
|
| Q. I've noticed that I can add AP's to an [[HP]] and [[MP]] stat. What do they do and is it advisable to add to them?
| | ===Bandit Guides=== |
| | *[[The Bandit]] |
| | *[[Party Bandit]] - ''by Rei'' |

| | my bandit guide for noobs |
|
| |
|
| A. The HP and MP stats just add to your Max HP and MP. It is not advisable to add AP to them because the increase is very low, and you may benefit less than if you put points into [[DEX]] or [[LUK]].
| | ===Bandit Sin (Sindit) Guides=== |
| | ''Bandit Sins are a hybrid class that uses a combination of claws and daggers. However, this class does not exist in MapleStory, it is simply an idea.'' |
|
| |
|
| Q. Why are DEX and LUK important for thieves?
| | * [[Aleczorich%27s_Guide_to_the_Sindit|Sindit/Long Version]] - ''by Aleczorich'' |
| | * [[Sindit_%28Guide%29|Sindit/Short Version]] - ''by Aleczorich'' |
| | * [http://forums.mapletip.com/index.php?showtopic=109010 FFTAmaster's SinDit Guide] - ''By FFTAmaster92'' |
| | * [[My_own_Sindit_guide|My Experience of a Sindit]] - ''by DETINY'' |
|
| |
|
| A. LUK (Luck) is extremely important for thieves because it increases their damage. The DEX helps increase your damage only by a little, but it is a requirment to wear equipment, therefore we use as little DEX as possible but enough to wear your level's equipment.
| | ===Hermit Guides=== |
| | * [http://forums.mapletip.com/index.php?showtopic=103363 v0.35+ Death Teddies for Hermits] - ''By Magical Moses'' |
|
| |
|
| Q. Why aren't [[STR]] and [[INT]] important?
| | <small>This is an index of guides for '''Thieves'''. If you would like to create your own guide, please view the [[MapleWiki:Create Guides|create guides page]] for more information.</small> |
|
| |
|
| A. Neither STR (Strength) or INT (Intelligence) is required to wear your equipment. Therefore, you will be weak at your starting levels, but strong later on. One exception is the "STR Bandit". STR Bandits uses STR for other daggers, called "STR daggers", which allows them to have higher minimal damage but less maximum damage. These daggers have a STR requirement to be worn.
| |
|
| |
| Q. What is [[SP]]?
| |
|
| |
| A. SP stands for "skill point". Skill points are points you put on certain skills to activate or upgrade them. As a thief, you receive your first skill point right after doing the job advancement (chiefly at level 10), and every level-up after then you receive 3 skill points.

| Thieves are one of the classes discussed on this page. They can choose between ranged and melee, unlike the other classes, and they also have the second best ammount of HP, armor and defense, but they lack MP, of which Thieves generally need to use a lot, maybe more than mages! This is partly why it isn't recommended for Thief to be your first character.
| |
|
| |
| === The Road of the Thief ===
| |
|
| |
| You already known that that all thieves are very strong. Therefore, we will have to use a very special technique to maximize your damage capabilities. Keep reading to find out.
| |
|
| |
| After pressing the "Create a Character" button, you will be directed to a screen as shown below:
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| http://www.mapletip.com/guides/thief/images/create_char.jpg
| |
|
| |
| This image is of a name chooser and character customizer. One important feature is the dice roller.
| |
|
| |
| The dice roller rolls for your statistics, it will determine how strong your character in the future. One wrong point, and it will cost you a bunch of damage points lost. Please keep in mind that this dice rolling procedure is very important and patience is needed to complete and succeed this.
| |
|
| |
| The suggested stats are shown below and in the picture above:
| |
|
| |
| STR: 4 (??)<br>
| |
| DEX: ??<br>
| |
| INT: 4<br>
| |
| LUK: ??<br>
| |
|
| |
| '''"??"''' means that the numbers can be anything.<br>
| |
| '''To-be STR bandits''' can roll any number in STR. Learn more of STR Bandits [[Bandit_Guide#A_lesson_on_STR_Bandits|here]].
| |
|
| |
| Your character should have 4 STR and 4 INT because these two skills are useless for a thief (with potential STR bandits being an exception). You must focus all skill points onto the skills that actually are used by a thief which is the DEX and LUK. If you are the impatient type, then you can just put 4 or 5 points in STR and INT, but ''never'' settle for a 5/5, 6/4, 4/6, or higher.
| |
| ''Note:'' This process may take up to half an hour on average. Make sure you are patient, otherwise, your character will not be as strong.
| |
|
| |
| You are now ready to go on your journey as a [[beginner]]. Every single character starts out as a beginner. During your tour of [[Maple Island]], you will learn some techniques and features that MapleStory provides. All this is preparation so you can get out of there and go on real journeys and become a thief. While being a beginner, you will not lose [[experience points]] (required to level up), but when you become a thief, you will lose EXP after dying. These experience points are precious because later on in MapleStory, you will take hours to gain the lots of experience you need to level up. Therefore, you must avoid dying. But since you are a beginner right now, you can die as many times as you want without losing any experience.
| |
|
| |
| For each level you gain, it is important to remember to add Ability Points. You can do this by pressing "S" on your keyboard (default hotkey). For each level, you obtain 5 ability points. After creating your character, add DEX for every AP until it gets to 25. Then, put the rest of the AP you receive, ''until level 10'', into LUK. Even if you see that your damage is very poor, do not add points into STR. If you are going to be a STR Bandit, not yet.
| |
|
| |
| ==== Stats needed to become a Thief ====
| |
|
| |
| To be able to become a Thief, you must be level 10, with 25 of DEX.[[Image:Dark_lord.gif|thumb|right|The Dark Lord.]]
| |
|
| |
| Once you have reached level 10, exit Maple Island by going to [[Southperry]] and asking [[Shanks]] to leave Maple Island. You will then be teleported to [[Lith Harbor]]. At Lith Harbor, go down from the boat and find the Ticket Booth, which should not be far from the boat, and go to [[Kerning City]]. At Kerning City, go toward the left and find the Fusion Jazz Bar. Talk to the [[Dark Lord]] and he will instruct you on how to become a thief.
| |
|
| |
| As soon as you become thief you can now fight for a cause. You can beat on things that you couldn't beat before. If you experience people that steals your kills, change channels or ask them politely to stop kill stealing. Remember, if you can pass through all the suffering of the thief, you will join the ranks of the strongest jobs in the world of MapleStory.
| |
|
| |
| ==== What to do when you reach level 10 ====
| |
|
| |
| ''Please note that the rule for your AP applies after level 10 —do not use this if you are below level 10:''
| |
|
| |
| LUK: +5 for three levels<br>
| |
| DEX: +5 for two levels
| |
|
| |
| Or (recommended):<br>
| |
| LUK: +3 on each level up<br>
| |
| DEX: +2 on each level up
| |
|
| |
| It helps to remember that '''DEX should be 2 times your level''' and put the rest in LUK. This DEX rule applies until level 40.
| |
|
| |
| To-be STR Bandits '''only''' should follow another build to have enough STR to arm themselves with [[Cutters]]:
| |
|
| |
| If STR rolled 4 with the dice, then:<br>
| |
| Level 19: +5 STR<br>
| |
| Level 20: +1 STR, +4 DEX
| |
|
| |
| If STR rolled 5 with the dice, then:<br>
| |
| Level 19: +5 STR<br>
| |
| Level 20: +4 DEX, +1 LUK
| |
|
| |
| From level 20 onwards:<br>
| |
| STR: +1 on each level up<br>
| |
| DEX: +2 on each level up<br>
| |
| LUK: +2 on each level up
| |
|
| |
| It helps to remember that STR should be (Level - 10), your DEX should be (2 * Level), and LUK should be the rest of the points. The DEX rule, like before, applies until level 40; the STR rule applies until level 60.
| |
|
| |
| === Skills and SP Distribution ===
| |
|
| |
| Please refer to the Skill Points recommended table which will be shown later on if you need help choosing. These recommended ability point adjustments are set to make your thief function the best it can. The following is only a list of the skills a thief could possess.
| |
|
| |
| If you have a good main character that can get a good amount of mesos, (100k before the thief reaches level 20) you can master one of the two main attacks first (to-be bandits: Double Stab; to-be assassins: Lucky Seven).

| |
| </table>
| |
|
| |
| Everytime you level up, you gain 3 skill points. This guide will also show you how to use these skill points properly. Follow the guide and everything will be all right.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| ====Claw Thief====
| |
|
| |
| Those are the ones who will take the claw as their favourite weapon, and make the second job advancement as an [[Assassin]].
| |
|
| |
| There are many ways to distribute the Skill Points. [[Thieves/Thief Builds|Here]] or [[Custom builds 1st job|here]] are some. The following can be the most recommendable one:
| |
|
| |
| Level 10: +1 to Lucky Seven<br>
| |
| Level 11: +3 to Nimble Body<br>
| |
| Levels 12-13: +3 Keen Eyes per level<br>
| |
| Level 14: +2 Keen Eyes (then it is maxed), +1 Lucky Seven<br>
| |
| Levels 15-20: +3 Lucky Seven per level (maxed at lv. 20)<br>
| |
| Level 21: +3 Disorder<br>
| |
| Level 22: +1 Dark Sight<br>
| |
| Levels 23-27: +3 Nimble Body per level (maxed at lv. 27)<br>
| |
| Levels 28-30: +3 Dark Sight per level<br>
| |
|
| |
| As a Claw Thief, you are able to use Disorder or Dark Sight. Since Disorder does not work with throwing stars, the few points on it can be used to scare away monsters that are very close to you, if you hit them with the claw; but this is not a well-known use. As you get more skilled as an Assassin, you can keep the monsters away, reducing the little usefulness of Disorder to allowing you to learn Dark Sight, a more useful skill.
| |
|
| |
| If you are short of money, you can invest points into Nimble Body before Lucky Seven, because higher levels of this skill will require higher MP usage.
| |
|
| |
| By level 30, your skill list should be this way:
| |
|
| |
| * 20 Nimble Body (maxed)
| |
| * 8 Keen Eyes (maxed)
| |
| * 3 Disorder
| |
| * 10 Dark Sight
| |
| * 20 Lucky Seven (maxed)
| |
|
| |
| ====Dagger Thief====
| |
|
| |
| Dagger Thieves are the ones who use daggers as their favourite weapon, and will probably become [[Bandit]]s after the second job advancement test.
| |
|
| |
| The following can be the most recommendable way to spend your [[Skill Point]]s.
| |
|
| |
| Level 10: +1 to Nimble Body<br>
| |
| Levels 11-16: +3 to Nimble Body per level<br>
| |
| Level 17: +1 Nimble Body (maxed), +2 Double Stab <br>
| |
| Levels 18-23: +3 Double Stab per level (maxed at lv. 23)<br>
| |
| Level 24: +3 Disorder<br>
| |
| Level 25: +3 Dark Sight<br>
| |
| Levels 26-30: +3 Disorder per level OR +3 Dark Sight per level
| |
|
| |
| The choice between [[Disorder]] and [[Dark Sight]] is up to you, although most players recommend investing points into Dark Sight, because the effects of Disorder would be, in the long run, negligible.
| |
|
| |
| By level 30, your skill list should be either this way:
| |
|
| |
| * 20 Nimble Body (maxed)
| |
| * 18 Disorder
| |
| * 3 Dark Sight
| |
| * 20 Double Stab (maxed)
| |
|
| |
| Or this nother:
| |
|
| |
| * 20 Nimble Body (maxed)
| |
| * 3 Disorder
| |
| * 18 Dark Sight
| |
| * 20 Double Stab (maxed)
| |
|
| |
| == Tips ==
| |
|
| |
| Try not to die —it isn't a good thing. You will lose experience (usually about 5%), and it can be anywhere from a few minutes work to a few hours work to make it up, depending on your level. Watch your HP gauge attentively.
| |
|
| |
| Learn about the different second job advancement classes, and then figure out what you want to be beforehand, so you can prepare for the skill requirements for that certain job, and not make something catastrophic with your character.
| |
|
| |
| Don't let anybody's talk get to you. If they are doing that, they want to fight, so just ignore it and keep training. It's best not to give them what they want.
| |
|
| |
| If you're patient, you can find a nice patch of land where no monsters can get you and heal instead of using potions —you save money. You can go do something else, such as talk on MapleTip. But be careful, you must be pretty sure that monsters will ''never'' reach you.
| |
|
| |
| If you get KSed ([[Kill Stealing|kill stolen]]), don't yell or be mean. That only promotes bad behavior and makes them mad at you, and then they'll just keep KSing you until you leave. They might even follow you. Just ask politely to stop. If they continue or ignore you, then just move somewhere else. There's nothing you can do to solve the problem.
| |
|
| |
| == Choosing your Second Job Advancement Class==
| |
|
| |
| When you reach level 30, you should go back to where you first got your job of Thief and talk to the Dark Lord. When you talk to him, he will give you a letter to take to the Thief Instructor.
| |
|
| |
| The instructor is two maps east of Kerning City. It is recommended to buy many (50 or 60 orange ones) potions before leaving, because, once you're in, you can't get out without losing what you collected. Go and talk to him, and he will take you to the test area. Your objective here is getting 30 [[Dark Marble]]s that monsters in there drop. Once you have the Marbles, talk to the instructor and he will hand you the [[Proof of a Hero]].
| |
|
| |
| Then, go back to The Dark Lord. Talk to him and give him the Proof. Next comes the choice between Assassin and Bandit. Since you are supposed to build yourself taking in mind that election, you must know already what do you want. Anyways, you can learn a bit from this article, just to help you to make up your mind.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| === The Assassin ===
| |
|
| |
| {{Main_Article|Assassin}}
| |
|
| |
| The Assassin is the most popular second job advancement class for the thief. The Assassin is ranged and uses claws and throwing weapons as their main weapon of choice. They may use daggers, but they are going to be weaker with them than the Bandit.
| |
|
| |
| '''Pros:''' Is ranged and can shoot very afar off. Is very fast when it comes to killing monsters.
| |
|
| |
| '''Cons:''' Can not attack up close. Damage varies a lot, it can range to very low to very high. Good claws and throwing stars are often expensive or rare.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| ==== Skills ====

| |
| ==== Assassin Techniques ====
| |
|
| |
| There are many ways to fight using an assassin. Read carefully:
| |
|
| |
| *Aerial shot: Assassins can shoot while in mid air! To do this, simply jump and attack. This technique is used almost always, because it helps to avoid the monsters when they get close.
| |
| *Backward shot: You can shoot while going backwards. Just jump to the back, turn in midair and shoot. This is technique is more difficult to master.
| |
| *Jump over the monster and shoot: Jump over the monster when you are close, and just do a backward shot to them before they touch you. This is very hard to master.

| The Bandit is the least popular second job advancement class for the thief. The Bandit attacks from close and uses daggers or cutters as their main weapons of choice. They may use claws, but they are going to be weaker with them than the Assassin.
| |
|
| |
| '''Pros:''' Can attack up close, can use savage blow which can attack up to 6 times in a row in the same second. Very high damage, and great mob control.
| |
|
| |
| '''Cons:''' Is not ranged, cannot attack as fast as an assassin. Prone to be KSed, because of the time required to reach a single monster.
| |

| ==== Bandit Techniques ====
| |
|
| |
| Here is a list of techniques that most bandits love to use.
| |
|
| |
| *Savage blow is a good move, good for getting attention, so you can use it to show off.
| |
| *Haste is your friend: Always use haste, so that you can keep those ranged people from KSing you.
| |
| *Don't use Savage Blow on weak things: This skill uses a lot of MP, thus requiring to consume MP potions to replace, thus wasting money unnecessarily.
| |
| *Be fast: When you are low-leveled, many ranged people will KS you, so use strategy and speed to level up.
| |

| == Places to Train ==
| |
|
| |
| Now this isn't some weird "OMG LIKE TRAIN HERE OR LIKE DIE" thing, it's just suggesting on where to train.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Level 1-4''': [[:Blue Snail|Blue]] and [[:Snail|Green Snail]]s in [[Maple Island]] and [[:Lith Harbour|Lith]].
| |
|
| |
| *'''Level 4-6''': Blue, [[:Red Snail|Red]], Green Snails and [[Shroom]]s in Maple Island and around Henesys.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Level 6-10''': Do not train on [Orange Mushroom]]s, for they are far too difficult and will take many hits to kill. Snails and Shrooms are still good EXP at this level.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Level 10-15''': [[Slime]]s. If you haven't already went through the First Job Adv. at level 10 you have to restart and make a new character because if you advance late you will lose out crucial skill points. Buy your items, and some potions. Good places for Slimes are in [[Ellinia]] or Henesys. You can also hunt in [[:Kerning City Construction Site I|Kerning City Construction Site]] for orange mushrooms.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Level 15-20''': [[Pig]]s and [[Ribbon Pig]]s. [[Pig Beach]] is great, since there is a vast amount of Pigs, but a vast amount of people. Just keep looking around for a place in Pig Beach but if you can't kill them in 1-2 hits, you can still level off of [[Orange Mushroom]]s at [[Henesys]].
| |
|
| |
| *'''Level 21-30''': [[Green Mushroom]]s and [[Horned Mushroom]]s are great monsters for Rouges. EXP is sure to go up fast. Try the Green and Horned Mushroom tree in Ellinia. You can also try doing the Party Quest in Kerning City.
| |
| Players Note: Green Mushroom tree (right beside Slime Tree) is recommended for Bandits, as Horny Mushrooms take too much MP on double stab and too long to kill it without special attacks. Also between 27-30 you may want to train on wildboars but otherwise train on zombies mushrooms
| |
| 2nd Players Note: If green and horned doesnt give satisfaction and if you are funded or have lot of money go to ant tunnel and train on zombie mushrooms and horned mushrooms ,when training you may want to do the rememberer quests.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Level 30-34''': [[Wild Boar]]s and [[Evil Eye]]s are good for now. As an [[Assassin]], you may want to try [[Wild Boar]]s, as for a [[Bandit]], try [[Evil Eye]]s. Also, if you're into making big money from drops go to [[Chronos]] in [[Ludibrium]] but only if you have many potions and you are an Assassin.
| |
| Note From Player: Bandits can also go to Wild Boars around level 33-35. Levels 30-32 should go to Ant Tunnel 1 & 2 and train on Horny Mushrooms and Zombie Mushrooms.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Level 35-40''': By now, you should be pretty strong. You can make a choice of either [[Wild Boar]] or [[Fire Boar]] for both Assassin and Bandit. Wild boars would still be good until the mid forty's (40-43),even though it is a pain.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Level 40-45''': Try [[Jr. Cellion]], [[Jr. Lioner]] and [[Jr. Grupin]]s. They give good EXP and great drops.
| |
| Player's Note: You can do the [[Ludibrium PQ]] for great exp., and great drops.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Level 45-50''': By now, you should be able to fight [[Star Pixie]]s. They drop a fair amount of [[Pan Lid]]s and give decent EXP. For fast leveling please got the the [[Ludibrium PQ]].
| |
|
| |
| *'''Level 50-55''': [[Star Pixie]]s or [[Zombie Lupin]]s. Good drops and good EXP. [[Stone Gollem]]s or [[Block Golem]]s in Ludibrium would also be good.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Level 55-60''': [[Zombie Lupin]]s, stay there. If your getting bored you could also try the various types of pixies.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Level 60-70''': You can either go to Drake's Meal Table (Assasin, Bandit) or Hot Sand (Bandit). [[Coolie Zombie]]s are the best exp at these levels. It will be hard to get a spot though because pratically every other class trains there.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Level 70-80''': It is now the time for 3rd job. For Hermits, they can try out monsters like [[Yeti & Pepe]], [[Chief Bandit]]s can go to Yeti and Pepe, or they can dish out some sweet damage at [[Tauromacis]]. Most people just decide to stay at [[Coolie Zombie]]s.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Level 80-90''': As you are gaining strength, you may want to try [[Bain]] (Hermit) or stay at [[Yeti & Pepe]] (Chief Bandit, Hermit)
| |
|
| |
| *'''Level 90-100+''': As you gain more and more strength, you can experiment on what you want to train on. You can even go for [[Dark Yeti & Pepe]], [[Crimson Balrog]], you name it!
