  • Best THF Equip

    Just started my THF after reaching 75 on Ninja and farming for a little.

    I have bought the following equipment.

    Weapon 1: Lust Dagger
    Weapon 2: Greed Scimitar (If Ninja subjob)
    Shield: Viking Shield (If Warrior subjob)
    Head: Emperor Hairpin
    Body: Scorpion Harness
    Hands: AF
    Legs: AF
    Feet: Leaping Boots (Was gonna get Striders... But not worth it)
    Ring 1: Grace Ring
    Ring 2: Grace Ring
    Earring 1: Drone Earring
    Earring 2: Drone Earring
    Necklace: Rabbit Charm (Equip Spike Necklace when do Sneak Attack)
    Belt: Forest Belt
    Back: Amemet Mantle+1
    Ranged: Long Boomrang

    I plan to replace the Hands / Legs / Boots with Dusk gear at 72
    And I prefer Scorpion Harness to the Black and Blue chorsade

    Besides that anything that can be improved?

    Feet: Winged Boots or Strider Boots
    Earring2: Genin Earring if Ninja sub
    Belt: Life Belt or Haste Belt for TP gain
    Necklace: Peacock Charm for TP gain
    Ranged: Lightning Bow

    There's various levels of "uberness." I'm assuming all items you want listed can be purchased - i.e. non ex?

      D; if you can't afford peacock charm, use spectacles.. on rag, they can be compared like this -

      spectacles - +7 acc, +7 ranged acc for 1 - 1.1 mill
      peacock charm - +10 acc, +10 ranged acc for 4.9-5 mill

      ...3 more acc, 4 more million gil =<.<=;

      -edit-

      Also, I really dunno how great the combination of Lust + Greed is anymore >.> I know they both look nice together stat-wise, but how good are they really compared to corsair's knife, etc?

        Earring 1: lv70 pixie earring (rare/ex)
        Earring 2: lv30 genin earring (nin sub)

        I recommend against greed scimitar since you'll charge TP like a gimp due to sword being C skill rating.

        If you're gonna be blinged out while leveling thief, I recommend using accuracy gear while gaining tp and then switching to dex+agi stuff for your sneak+trick attack.

        Stuff throughout the level 1-75 grind with accuracy for thief:
        peacock charm, sniper's ring +1, green beret +1, optical hat, war beret if you can't get optical hat, aimng bracelets, war gloves +1, life belt, combat caster's boomerang +2.

        I'd switch to the level 73 cursed set hands and subligar during sneak+trick attack too.

        Strider boots might be good for pulling fast-running monsters like tigers, coeurl, and raptors. Ninja blink helps, but you may still get unlucky and get mauled.

          Im not as high as you guys, but i dont think the Rabbit Charm is really worth it unless you are planning on going to mobs that you can actually steal DECENT things from... Just a waste of money i think...

            I use it for Trick Attack (More AGI) and I use Spike for Sneak Attack

            As for the ACC gear I dont really need it since I party only with BRDs

            I can afford a peacock charm (5mil on Siren) but I rather not spend 3-4 days farming Amemet.. I see lizards in my eys :sweat:

              But can't you use it during SANTA and then switch it out for something for TP like Bone Knife +1 or Corsairs Knife). I would think Bone Knife +1 would be better because of the +5 ACC. I don't believe swapping offhand weapons resets your tp.

                It does reset your tp.

                  You should never split them as a thief, your damage is gimp as it is. Spike has strenght + and dex +, thus being the best buyable gear for a thief until god knows what else (spectacles/peacock charm if you wanna pimp out your character)

                  I agree that Greed isn't the best choice for off hand. You get diminishing returns with your dex stats after a while, and charging tp in time is a higher priority than the potential for higher damage (which usually isn't the case). Main hand weapon should be the highest damaging weapon instead of lust dagger. Cermet Kukri + 1 would be the weapon of choice at 62 (?) then upgrade to stun kukri + 1

                      Why do you guys like the genin earring? It's one of those latent effect earrings.

                        Regarding 'Latent Effect' equipment: 'Latent Effect' just means that *something* has to trigger it the effect. Low HP only triggers the effects on some latent effect gear. In this case, the Genin earring's latent effect of AGI+4 is triggered when your sub is NIN. My understanding of all the Rare Lv.30 earrings that you get from BCNM30 that have latent effects is that they're all triggered by what subjob you have equipped. So in this case, since so many thieves sub NIN, it would make sense to replace one of the typical Drone Earrings (AGI+3) that almost everyone has with one of these. But, as it is a 'Rare' item, you can only own one of them. ><

                        Hope this helps. ^^
