The masters of the covert and guile, a Thief (THF) will always look to find the perfect opportunity to attack the enemy. With the use of Sneak Attack and Trick Attack, thieves can inflict massive amounts of damage while 'tricking' the enemy into thinking it was someone else. These abilities are the pefect way to direct an enemy's attention towards a party's tank, keeping the other members safe from harm. Thieves are the most proficient class in using daggers and players starting the game will start their adventure with an Onion Knife. Additionally they make good use of ranged attacks, which is a great way to gain the attention of enemies.

Thieves have many other skills at their disposal too. Possessing the highest Evasion rating in the game and having the ability to Flee or Hide, they're more than capable to escape the most sticky of situations! Combined with other abilities such as Steal, Mug, Gilfinder and Treasure Hunter, it makes them the perfect adventuring companion to bolster not only their own gil purses but their accomplices's too! With access to the unique ability to pick Treasure Chests and Treasure Coffers with their very own thief's tools, you'd be hard pressed to find loot that is out of their reach.

At present, Treasure Hunter maxes out at TH4 (Level 15, Level 45, Nanaa's Lucky Charm, Assassin's Armlets).

Horizon Changes HorizonXI specific changes

  • Minor changes to Artifact Armor.
  • Major changes to the relic weapon Mandau including the new Adaptive Effect.
  • Treasure Hunter has been removed from Thief's Knife and has moved to the custom item Nanaa's Charm.
  • The player's Accuracy and Ranged Accuracy when using Perfect Dodge are increased by 999.
  • Many elemental type weapon skills have been changed to the "hybrid" type and will now stack with Sneak Attack.
  • Triple Attack unlocks at level 30 instead of 55.
  • Assassin is unlocked at level 50 instead of 60.
  • Accomplice was not available in the current era, can now be used on an alliance (it was party only on retail), has had its level reduced from 65 to 45 and no longer shares a recast timer with Collaborator.
  • Collaborator was not available in the current era, can now be used on an alliance (it was party only on retail), has had its level reduced from 65 to 45 and its recast time increased from 1 to 5 minutes. It no longer shares a recast timer with Accomplice and it now redirects 50% of the Thief's enmity to their chosen target. Note that the chat log will state that you stole the target's enmity per its retail effect, but its intended effect of redirecting enmity to the target is performed.
  • Bully was not available in the current era, has had its level reduced from 93 to 40, its recast has been lowered from 3 to 1 minute. The ability has been completely reworked, now giving a guaranteed status bolt additional effect proc on monsters within 15 levels of the Thief. On Notorious Monsters, the chance of landing a status effect bolt has been increased but not guaranteed. The omni-directional sneak attack portion has been removed.
  • Mug grants a critical hit rate bonus of 5% on the target monster for 30 seconds. Recast time reduced from 15 minutes to 10 minutes. This activates as a bewildered daze regardless of success of mug, its in-game message reads the "<target>'s Bewildered Daze effect wears off." after 30 seconds.
