Question about beiing Thief

Post by Mikehaych »

Hi, I just started a new character: S/S Nuker. I was planning on going 100Bich/100Light/100Ice.
But my question is: Is that a good build for doing jobs?
I always liked beiing a Thief, but can I be a good Thief without the Fire Nuke?
If not, what's a better Job? :)
Ow and what's a nice level to start Jobbing, I'm on Venus server btw.

- Mike

Pretty well summed up. But be a merchant from 24 to 40 to get some cash from 1* trades.

for being thief is best warior cleric, u can ress everyone in imolation ress (if you dont knwo that special ress where STR char has around 80kHP) and with this ress your mates can easily destroy ox:)

But on nowadays silkroad being thief is sign of weakness, because it is many many times easier job than hunting:)

Ok thanks for information, but Thief 95+ is very high :O
Can't I Thief already on around level 80?
1* trades is good way to make bit money, mayby for some taxis if I get borred :P and for good armour + weapon.
Mayby got any other suggestions about Jobbing ? :D

Hunting: Protect trader.
Thief: Kill Hunter, Trader waiting long time to get cash from the trade...

Hmmm... ok, but trader can also be attacked by Thief?
So why doesn't he have to be 95+, bc he can have Hunters to kill Thiefs or??
Sorry for asking so much but I don't know that much (yet) about Jobbing so far :oops:

Until lvl40 you can do 1* trades and thiefes can't attack you.
Traders are supposed to stay on their mounts and let the hunters protect them from thiefs.

Trader or hunter on lower lvl is possible. You can be lvl 60hunter who will hunt lvl50 trader and if you will be luck and doesnt meet any thief, u can make 5* without problem.

If you wanna be lvl60 theif you will need to find some lvl50trader with low lvl hunter and thats kinda hard i think because 90% of all trades do high lvl ppl and anyway if you find lvl50 trader, there is still kinda high chance that he has lvl100 friend.

On our server are many thieves and if they find you it is kinda hard to survive so usually i try to be hidden, when i had holidays i did around 30 trades per week and only once or twice theif found me. If you will be same lucky u can be lvl60 hunter easily, just need to find trader with lower lvl than you:)

im a lvl 3 thief and im only lvl 39. so all this talk about needing to be lvl 95+ to thief isn't necessarily true. if you know how to be a thief and are extremely patient and smart you can be good at it at lower lvls

Ya at lower level it's possible but it's harder then when u're higher level.
I will think about it, I first need to get some Sp and lvl up lol :D
Got enough time to think about it.
Thanks

First of all: Nice for beiing lvl 3 at that lvl :)
And yes, Thief needs a lot of patient. Bc he needs to pick his targets well and dont just attack every one he sees.

btw, what is your build?
