Thf before 15

[DDKirin]

Whats the better way to maximize damage before getting sneak attack, thf/mnk using h2h, or thf/war using sword+shield? Or is there a better combo for this stage?

thf/mnk h2h... THF's grapple skills are horrible, but at low levels the difference isn't that big, so it's usable Up until level 33, in fact, when you are magically expected to have dagger skilled up to 100+ out of your ass.

But ugh.. pre-15... THF was the WORST solo class, damn :dead:
*bad memories

You should try Brd solo! That is nearly just as bad.

H2H is great up until 30, I will carry it on through to 33 when I change back to THF.

I have kept dagger skilled up, I usually use it in the dreaded n00b groups when renkei is like scaling the eiffel tower one handed and with no legs.

Currently trying to lvl my thief.....I think it's taken me a longer time to get to lvl 14 then it took me to lvl my war to 20 :dead:

Finding a party is hell, having no decent skills with dagger is hell, soloing stuff that is "decent challange" with a thief at lvl 12-14 is hell, leveling thief to lvl 15 is hell :dead:

best way to level (unfortunately ) is by not sitting around waiting for a party cause it can take ages, just put up the "seek party" status and kill some "easy prey" like the mobs in Tharongi Canyon and hope to god some party at the maze invites you :sweat: .

I've been using the ninja job to train my weapons. After all, I need to have my sub up to 37 at least to max it out....so I've been using sword/katana/dagger religiously. So far as a level 12 thf and 17 ninja I have dagger, katana, and sword around 47-51. If anything, ninja is always good for training two weapons at once. I'll have my 100+ in dagger when I'm expected to .
