So you wanna be a Thief, huh? Thieves are currently the most popular class in RO and
for good reasons. High level Thieves can be devestating. They can dish out high
amounts of damage to a single enemy with their SP-Free skill, Double slash. As a
Thief you won't be taking damage but you'll be evading them. You can also be taking
them too if you want. You can use a bow, dagger or a sword. So why wouldn't you want
to be a Thief?
Let's analyze. The dagger has a penalty of 75% against medium monsters (Rocker,
Zombie, Skeleton), 50% against large (Golem, Isis, Nightmare), and no penalties
against small (Poring, Hornet, Picky), while 1h swords have a penalty of 75% vs.
Small, 100% vs.medium and 75% to large, and arrows do 100% damage to all. AGI
Thieves does not dodge like a mad man right at the start. He/she has to work hard
to achieve the incredible dodge rate. AGI Thieves will be getting hit a lot in the
beginning and taking full damage minus armor. Also, because you are investing all or
most of your points in AGI, your min/max damage will be everywhere. VIT Thieves will
be getting hit pretty much all of the time until their flee goes up by level but they
will not be recieving as much damage. Mixed thieves will get the best from both
worlds. They will dodge quite a bit and when they do get hit, it won't hurt as much.
This guide is here to help you understand the class and help guide you in point
distribution, equipment, skill point distribution, and leveling. The Thief class is
quite possibly the most fun class I've played in RO and I hope your experience with
your Thief is as good as mines.
____________________________________________________________________________________
III. T H I E F C O M P A R I S O N S
Here I will discuss the PROS and CONS of each type of Thief.
a) Stat Comparisons
i. AGI Thief - It's all about speed and power. This type of thief sacrifices
everything for speed and power. They will pump DEX to ammounts not even required
to hit Baphomet with just for higher damage and speed. This is the most powerful
melee fighter in the game with a dagger. When you weild a bow you will even make
some archers jealous. This thief can dodge whatever you throw at him and will kill
fast enough so the flee drop doesn't take into effect for long. You'll also get
to spend points on STR a lot earlier than the other Thieves as you can raise AGI
to a reasonable level, then raise STR to its limits, and then go back to working
on AGI to maximize your killing potential (for bow thieves, raise DEX instead of
STR). But when you do get hit, it will hurt. You will also find yourself running
from mobs until you get your agi to a higher degree.
PROS: Strongest Thief. Very fast with and high damage. Versitile with weapons.
Best dodger in the game.
CONS: When mob is overwhelming, you will die. Has to be careful when fighting
in aggro areas. Takes high damage.
Recommended Starting Stats: 9 STR, 9 AGI, 9 DEX
ii. Mixed Thief - This Thief wants the best of both worlds. He\she dodges well
and when he\she does get hit, it won't hurt as much. This thief also gets the
benefits of having a higher HP. Because you are splitting points between AGI and
VIT, you won't be able to dodge as much monsters as AGI Thieves and won't be able
to take hits as well as VIT Thieves. You can build this thief by starting out as
a AGI thief, then when you get your STR to your desired ammount, raise VIT. Another
way to build this thief is to pump AGI and VIT evenly to get the benefits of being a
Mixed thief right away. Although you'll spend points on STR later than AGI thieves
which means you'll be killing slower than your AGI thief companions.
PROS: Can dodge and take medium damage. Also versetile with weapons. Has good
speed also. Versatile in mob control. Higher HP than AGI Thief.
CONS: Not the best at taking damage OR dodging. Not the fastest though not the
slowest either.
Recommended Starting Stats: 9 STR, 9AGI, 5 Vit\Dex or 9 Dex if you're starting off
as a AGI Thief.
iii. VIT Thief - A rare breed. This thief was meant to get hit and like it. This
thief will pump VIT to high numbers until Isis' slaps feels like taps on the shoulder.
Even though you will not invest a lot into agi, you will still be dodging a Mummy
and such later on because you get +1 flee every level and because of level 10 Dodge.
If a mob is coming you wouldn't care, you'll take them. Of course because most of
your points are going into STR and VIT, you'll be hitting slow. Dodging Nightmares
and such will be a problem also until you can get your flee high enough. Because
you need a redicously high ammount of Vit for it to be effective in later areas of
Ragnarok, your STR will be lower than both AGI Thieves and Mixed thieves mid level.
This thief is also slower to level because it doesn't have the benefits of Speed
or Power early.
PROS: Takes little damage. Highest HP of all the thieves. A Tank. Impresses
VIT Swordies.
CONS: Slowwwwww. Has to wait longer to really build STR\DEX. Needs a lot of VIT.
Slowest damager out of all the Thieves.
Recommended Starting Stats: 9 STR, 9AGI, 5 Vit\Dex
b) Weapon Comparisons
i. Dagger Thief - The only thieves to get the benefits of Double Slash which is a
huge plus. They do the most damage out of all the Thieves because of double slash
and high STR. They will even do more damage to Nightmares than sword\bow thieves
dispite the -50% dmg penalty because of double slash! A dagger weilding AGI Thief
is the most powerful melee character in the game. Daggers are good for all types
of Thieves because of it's speed and because of double slash. I highly recommend
VIT thieves to use daggers because of their slower attack speed from the lack of
AGI.
ii. Sword Thief - Never seen one before but it is possible. This type of thief
will be more dependent on brute strength doing the killing. Because there are so
many medium monsters in the game, this thief can do high damage to them without
needing double slash. Swords are noticebly slower on thieves than Swordies which
is why I recommend if you're going to be a sword thief that you'd be an AGI Thief.
VIT\Mixed is also possible but it's up to you. Why be a Sword thief instead of a
Swordie? Level 10 Dodge and because you want to. Imagine a Thief doing better with
a sword than a Swordsman.
iii. Bow Thief - Mainly built for stealing. These thieves are in some way better
marksmen than Archers. Thieves gets Dodge which makes it easier for them to dodge.
They can hide in signs of trouble and they can steal. But! They are slower than
Archers, don't have Owl's Eye (+Dex) or Vulture's Eye (Range), nor Double Strafe to
get out of sticky situations. Compared to otehr thieves, bow thieves gets to attack
from a range and when the monsters do reach them their dodge will kick in (if agi).
I recommend being an AGI Thief if you're a bow thief also because you'll shoot
faster and you'll really benefit from dodge then. Although VIT\Mixed are definitely
possible. It's really up to you. Also you'll have trouble getting MVP unless you
had a big head start...

IV. S T A T S
a) Point Distribution Guide
One of the most important aspect of RO is stat distribution. Stat distribution can
make or break a character. It is very important that you do not waste points and
pump the right stat in the right situation (ie. if you're missing pump dex) and this
is especially important and vital in the beginning as it would make building your
Thief a whole lot easier and smoother. Keep in mind that everytime you level, your
flee and hit is raised by 1.
i. For sword\dagger thieves, I'd raise dex to 15-20 and stop there. Then I'd pump
str till it's 20 for the early bonus. From there I will build according to my style.
If I'm an agi thief, I'd build AGI to a good 50-60 then work on STR again. When
I get my desired STR it's back to AGI and eventually Dex. If I'm a mixed thief, I'd
build just like an agi thief but instead of going back to AGI, I'd work on Vit. For
VIT thieves, first I'd raise AGI to 20 then I'd just build Vit to around 70+ then
work on str until it's around 40-50 and then work on Vit again. When I reach the
Vit that I want I'd work on STR again. The early AGI should in dodging a bit in the
early stage and will help with my attack speed. That low agi will also help you
dodge 1v1 against higher level monsters because of the flee bonus per level and lvl
10 dodge.
ii. For Bow thieves, I'd raise dex to 40 then raise agi to 20. From there I will
build according to my style. If I'm an AGI thief, I will keep agi close to dex
because I want to attack faster and be able to dodge. AGI thief weilding bows can
afford to be in front of an enemy because of dodge which is an advantage over archers.
When my dex reaches 70-80, I will be pumping AGI exclusively for the extra bow speed.
If I was a mixed thief with a bow, I'd still build like an agi thief but will stop
building agi at around 50 to work on vit and luck at around 70 dex. As a Vit thief,
I would get my agi to 20, then build dex and some Vit. When I reach my desired dex,
I will work on Vit until I am satisfied. Then it's back to Dex and Luck. The 20
AGI will help me in speed and allow me to dodge a bit early (around 60%) and will
allow me to dodge well 1v1 later in the game because of the flee I get from being a
high level character.
b) Stat Analysis
There are bonus points which you'll recieve throughout the game until your job level
reaches level 50, which is the max. You'll recieve the following points throughout
the game:
STR +4, VIT +2, DEX +4, INT +1, LUK +3, AGI +4
i. STRENGTH
Believe it or not, this is the most important stat for the Dagger\Sword Thief in the
end. Pumping STR will supplement your damage with the dagger as it raises Min and Max
damage. There are a lot of medium monsters in the game and the 75% penalty hurts.
Sword thieves without the benefits of double slash will definitely need STR. Also,
STR works best in increments of 10 because you get a bonus every 10 STR.
Strength Damage Bonus Chart:
STR Min/Max Damage
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
10 +1
20 +4
30 +5
40 +8
50 +10
60 +12
70 +13
80 +15
90 +17
100 +19
Recommended Points: 96 for sword\dagger Thieves, 9 for Bow Thieves.
ii. AGILITY
Your FIRST primary stat as an AGI Thief. Raising this stat will not only raise
your flee, but it will increase your attack speed. You'll need a lot of this.
Mixed thieves will also want quite a bit of this also. If you're going to be a
bow thief you'll also need as much of this as possible :). A vit thief should
put some point into this so he doesn't swing his dagger like a novice.
Recommended Points: 90+ for bow thieves, 75+ for agi thieves, 35+ for Vit Thieves,
and 50+ for Mixed thieves.
iii. VITALITY
The FIRST primary stat for Vit Thieves. Adding to vit will not only increases
your defense (for every 2 vit, you take 1 less damage), but your HP as well. Agi
Thieves may or may not want this and Mixed Thieves will want vit as well.
Recommended Points: 90+ for vit Thieves, 50+ for Mixed, 1-22+ for Agi thieves.
iv. INTELLIGENCE
Currently there are no monsters in RO that casts magic so the MDEF benefit from INT is
useless as of now. The only reason to pump int right now is for magic damage and more
SP. You can always raise this stat later on. Don't put points into this yet.
Recommended Points: 1-??
v. DEXTERITY
Pump this stat up regularly to hit the enemy at aconstant rate. DEX also increases
attack speed but not as much as AGI (for every 5 equal 1 AGI) and it also increases
minimum damage. Also, after maxing STR, DEX is the only way to raise your min/avg
damage for a sword\dagger Thief. Every DEX adds 1 minimum damage, every 5 adds an
extra max damage for melee weapons. Dex seems to be a lot weider with Bows. Raising
dex from 1-16 seems to only raise your max damage. After that it seems that for
every dex you get +2 min damage and the max damage bonus of 1. Although the numbers
aren't entirely accurate they are close. There are also a dmg bonus every
10 dex after your 20 dex base.
Bow Damage Bonus Dex Chart:
DEX Min/Max Damage

20 +3
30 +4
40 +5
50 +6
60 +8
70 +10
80 +12
90 +13
100 +14
Recommended Points: 45+ for AGI\Dagger\Sword Thieves, 90+ for Bow thieves,
20+ for Mixed\Vit
vi. LUCK
You will get 1 critical per luck. The first 5 Luck adds 1 to max dmg while the
next 5 luck adds 1 to min damage and the next 5 luck adds 5 to max again and so
on. Critical isn't all that great unless you plan on fighting HIGH def monsters
(nightmare, bosses). Otherwise, you will still do more damage with double slash
and high str than critical which negates double slash. If you must get luck then I
recommend you raise it to 5(if you plan on wearing Bunny HB)-10 if you're a Dagger
Thief. Sword\Bow Thieves will benefit nicely from critical hit however.
Recommended Points: 1-10 for Dagger thieves, 20+ for sword\bow thieves.

V. E Q U I P M E N T
The most important thing for any melee class is a powerful weapon. You'll need a
strong weapon in order to kill efficiently and effectively which in turns allows
you to lvl quickly and make money quickly also. Armor isn't as important as a
weapon but it is still good to have and will benefit you. Accessories are just
extras that will help but aren't required.
a. HEAD
Bunny Hairband (1 def, +5 LUK, 10 weight) - If you have 5 luck or 15 etc., then
this is probably the best helm to wear for that extra flee.
Helm (5 def, 50 weight) - For Vit thieves or any other thief if you need the small
defense.
Crown\Tiara (4 Def, +2 Int, 30 weight) - A very expensive fashion statement ;).
Though thief doesn't benefit much with +2 Int.
Anything else that would make your Thief look pretty will do as well.
b. ARMOR
Tights (5 def, +2 dex, 50 weight) - Tights will probably be the first armor for
your Thief until you can acquire a Ninja Suit. Some high level thieves switch back
to tights when they're satisfied with their flee. No matter what type of thief you
are, you'll want either tights or...
Ninja Suit (7 def, +2 agi, 150 weight) - This armor was made for thieves. After
getting tights you should work on getting a Ninja Suit. The +2 agi will help
emmensly especially when your agi starts to cost a lot to raise.
c. R. HAND
Gladius (102 dmg, 60 weight) - The strongest buyable dagger in the game. Buyable
in Morroc.
Damasacus (115 dmg, 60 weight) - The strongest dagger in the game. The Boss
Mistress drops this. Very difficult to get unless you're either very rich or very
lucky.
Fortune Sword (40 dmg, +15 luck, +30% critical (doesn't work yet), 10 weight) - When
you reach a high STR and DEX, you will do damage very close to the gladius against
high defense monsters (Nightmare, HunterFlies, Baphomet). Your max damage will be
a bit lower than the gladius and damacus' dmg but your min damage will be a bit
higher. This is THE weapon to fight HIGH DEF monsters with because of the extra
luck which means more criticals and +1 flee. And because it is lighter, it MAY
BE faster than the gladius and damascus. When 30% critical works, this weapon
should help thieves kill nightmares and such even easier.
Arbalist (bow, 95 dmg, +5 dex, 70 weight) - Bow Thieves' Weapon of choice as it
seems to have longer range and because of its low weight, MAY BE faster than
Kakkung. Bows can be an alternative to daggers in the beginning for Dagger\Sword
Thieves as it loses its usefulness later. You may want to hit enemies from ledges
or cliffs without recieving damage. In the end daggers\swords will end up doing
more damage than any bow unless you pumped dex like mad. Bows still have their
uses late game just to get non-aggro monsters to come to you instead of chasing
them.
Kakkung (bow, 100 dmg, 80 weight) - An alternative to the arbalist. Does 5 more
damage than the arbalist but doesn't get the +2 dex bonus.
Tsurugi (Sword, 130 dmg, 100 weight) - Strongest 1handed sword in the game.
If you're a sword thief then this is your sword unless...
Ring Pommel Saber (Sword, 125 dmg, 70 weight) - You have this :) 30 weight lighter
than the Tsurugi but 5 unnoticeable less damage than the Tsurugi. Also because it
is lighter, it MAY BE faster.
d. L. HAND
Buckler (4 def, 60 weight) - Best wearable shield.
e. ROBE
Manteau (3 def, 50 weight) - Best wearable robe.
f. FEET
Boots (3 def, 30 weight) - Best wearable shoes.
g. ACCESSORIES
Glove (+2 dex, 5 weight) - For the extra Hit and some ASPD and damage. Bow Thieves'
accessory of choice.
Brooch (+2 agi, 5 weight) - Extra flee and more attack speed. AGI Thieves'
accessory of choice.
Safety Ring (5 def, +3 MDEF, 5 weight) - Extra defense and MDef never hurts. Vit
thieves' prefered accessory. Mixed thieves should drool over this too :).
Eye of Dullahan (5 weight) - Accessory which prevents status ailments. Will prove
useful when monsters can poison you and such or PKing Thieves when PK is activated.

VI. S K I L L S
Thieves do not have a lot of skills. Dagger Thieves only need to concentrate on
Double Slash and Avoid. I'd recommend maxing double slash first to maxmize your
damage potential then Avoid. Avoid at early levels isn't going to help much since
it works in conjunction with flee and a low lvl Thief won't have high flee. Sword\
Bow Thies will really only need Avoid. Then you will want to get Hide. After
that, I'd recommend 10 Steal and Envenom. But it's all personal preferences.
a. Double Slash - Chance you will strike an enemy twice. Also increases your
damage by 200%. [Passive]
Level 1 - 5%
2 - 10%
3 - 15%
4 - 20%
5 - 25%
6 - 30%
7 - 35%
8 - 40%
9 - 45%
10 - 50%
Recommended Points: 10 for dagger thieves, 0 for all others.
b. Dodge - Increases your flee. [Passive]
Level 1 - 3%
2 - 6%
3 - 9%
4 - 12%
5 - 15%
6 - 18%
7 - 21%
8 - 24%
9 - 27%
10 - 30%
Recommended Points: 10
c. Steal - Steal from an enemy without going into battle. It seems as though
this skill is based on DEX and maybe LUK. [20 SP]
Level 1-10 - No data available.
Recommended Points: 5+
d. Hide (Prerequisite: lvl 5 steal) - Hide from enemy or player. Certain
type of monsters can still detect you when hidden (insect, demons, boss)
[10 SP, drains sp while hidden, ammount of sp drained depends on your hide lvl]
Level 1 - 30 sec
2 - 60 sec
3 - 90 sec
4 - 120 sec
5 - 150 sec
6 - 180 sec
7 - 210 sec
8 - 240 sec
9 - 270 sec
10 - 300 sec
Recommended Points: 1, hide is almost useless now that certain type of
monsters can see you. It's safer to have Wing of Flies hotkeyed (when it works
again...)
e. Envenom - Attacks the enemy with a chance of poisoning the enemy [15 SP]
The damage formula is: 100(Skill Level*15)%
Recommended Points: 3-?, you won't have anywhere else to place points into
other than steal or hide so it's safe to max this in the end.
f. Detoxify (Prerequisites: lvl 3 Envenom) - Cures poison. [10 SP]
Recommended Points: 1, good to have when poison is implemented.
____________________________________________________________________________________
VII. C R O W D C O N T R O L
This mostly applies to AGI\Mixed Thieves...
After the agi nerf, AGI\Mixed thieves really need to know how to control the crowd.
Luckily, controlling the crowd is really easy in RO. When being chased, just keep
running until the monsters stop targetting you. Now you will have to lure out one
monster at a time. Do this by taking baby steps. If there are more than you can
handle coming, then repeat the first step.
Of course this will not always work. There are times when you will be overwhelmed
and cannot run. Just use a wing of fly and hope that you don't warp into another
mob (when it works again...)
Be cautious when you're trying to get a train off you and be considerate of other
players. When you're running from a train, make sure that if you're running past
someone fighting that you slow down so that the monsters are still targetted on
you. When you past the player then you can run as far as possible to get the lock
off. Unless the person is targeting the monster you're running from, then you can
run as far as possible as he'll get that monster to target him/her which is what
he/she wants or is asking for.

c) FLEE & HIT Chart:
This is a simple chart I have completed to show how much minimum flee is needed to
dodge a monster 95% of the time in a ONE on ONE battle. The flee amounts will be
shown for both Thief class and all other classes as well as a hit column showing
the minimum hit rate needed to hit that monster 100% of the time (no missing)
Thief class Flee takes into account that you have level 10 Dodge skill.
Warning: Yoan's calculator seems to have changed and the flee values have become off.
I do not know if it's due to monsters getting more dex or simply a mishap in his
formula from updating it, i shall leave the original flee values in since they are
closer to the flee needed in the RO English Beta.

Thanks to Yoan's multi-calculator (homepage2.nifty.com/yoan/ro_multicalc.html?eng)
info which I used to gather the information. A few of the Hit info seems a bit
inconsistent with info from personal experience such as once you get a hit of 90 you
will stop missing vs Isis and i know you need over 100 hit for a hunter fly since I
still miss it, but the flee chart is fairly accurate. Hope this helps all you rag
players who like to find out info like this.

d) How to become a Thief
First you must get your Basic Skills level to a whopping 9. Then goto the Pyrmids
(NW of Morroc) and head on inside. The Thieves' guild is directly in the middle of
the map. Watch out for bats and follow behind higher lvl chars there training.
e) Where to level
Level Recommended Areas
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
1-10 Dessert Field, Prontera Field
11-20 Rockers Field, Mistress Area, Culvert 2-3, Peco Peco Areas
21-30 Payon Caves 1, Smokie Forest, Culvert 4, Pyramids 1
31-40 Smokie Forest, Bibalan Dungeon 2, Geffen Dungeon 1
41-50 Payon Caves 2-3, Pyramids 2, Pirate Ship
51-70 Pyramids 2-3-4, Bibalan Dungeon 3
71-99 Pyramids 2-3-4, Geffen Dungeon 2, Forest
These are just the areas I recommend. If you feel more comfortable in other areas
then by all means go there. If the monsters are too hard then move back to your
old training ground. You can easily tell where you should level by looking at the
exp chart. Just move up when you find the monsters not rewarding enough. Some
people prefer to kill 2 weaker monsters than 1 strong one (ie. 2 zombies instead of
soldier skeleton). Although this is fine if you find it faster, but if your
character is just about ready to face the stronger monster I would recommend it.
Why? Because you don't have to find 2 of the same monster when you can just kill
one. Although it may be slower to kill 1 stronger monster than 2 weaker ones, it
will be faster when you take into account that you have to find 2 monsters. Not to
mention the killstealing mentality of lower level dungeons. Also some areas are
easier depending on what type of thief you are. Bow thief will find anywhere with
ledges to be good for them while vit thieves will love the pirate ship because of
the pirate skeleton's lower damage. Vit thieves will also love geffen dungeon
because poison spores give excellent exp and they're easy and do little damage. AGI
Thieves can go into harder areas earlier because they can dodge them. Sword thieves
will prefer areas with medium monsters (dessert, rocker's field), as opposed to
dagger thieves who will prefer small monster areas (culvert, pyramids 1). Basically
just train in the area you're comfortable with. I made the chart just to give you
and idea on where to go.
