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 [[:Category:Daggers|daggers]] and players starting the game will start their adventure with an [[Onion Knife]]. Additionally they make good use of [[Ranged|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 Chest]]s and [[Treasure Coffer]]s with their very own [[Thief's Tools|thief's tools]], you'd be hard pressed to find loot that is out of their reach.
