{{Tocright}}
Welcome to the [[New Player Hub]]. If you're a new Final Fantasy XI player then this page will list various pages to help you along in your adventure! If you're already familiar with the game but are new to HorizonXI, you may find the [[:Category:Horizon Changes|Era+ Changes]] and [[:Category:Horizon Changes/New Content|Era+ Content]] pages of use.

== Starting Out ==
When you first begin the game and create your character, there are certain choices that decide how your adventure will start, such as your race, job and your starting nation.
* [[:Category:Jobs|Jobs]]
* [[Nations]]
* [[Races]]

== Exploring Vana'Diel ==
Vana'Diel is an incredibly large place and was continuously expanded upon with various expansions. HorizonXI currently uses the [[Chains of Promathia]] version and is planning to release the [[Treasures of Aht Urhgan]] expansion in the future.
* [[Areas]]

== Leveling Up ==
Players typically play the first 10 levels solo or with a friend(s). This involves leaving the safety of your starter city and killing the monsters you find outside. From level 10 onwards, players typically group up into parties as it's generally the fastest way to progress.
* [[:Category:Guides#New_to_Leveling_Parties|New to EXP Parties]]
== What to Do ==
There's always something to keep players busy in Vana'Diel, whether that be completing story content, quests or the various crafts and hobbies, there's always something to do.
* [[:Category:Missions|Missions]]

Rogue's Handbook: A Thief Guide

2024-09-27T14:42:02Z

Forevernewb: /* Subjobs */ added BST and BRD as situational subjobs

== Preface ==
This guide was inspired by [https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Rogues%27_Gallery Rogue's Gallery] that was made for retail. It includes a knowledge formed from having a 75 thief on retail era, as well as a main thief on current retail, as well as knowledge gained from leveling and experiencing Thief on HorizonXI. This guide is intended to be ever evolving and is a passion project, so be sure to check the last updated timestamp for relevance.

== Why Thief? ==
'''You should play thief if'''

* You enjoy an active class with lots of movement and keystrokes and requires you to stay engaged while playing.
* You enjoy controling of the flow of exp parties.
* You like to see big, spike damage.
* You enjoy farming for gil.

'''You should NOT play thief if'''

* You're lazy or just want to sit back and chill while fighting enemies.
* You are easily aggravated by others messing up your plans (LOL SATA).
* You want to be a prominent member of end game activities (THF is generally only really used as a TH bot in endgame stuff).
* You are in a hurry to level. (Everyone and their mom is leveling thief right now, so you'll have a lot of competition for party spots).

== Merits ==
Thief merits are kind of meh. You have a tiny bit of flexibility, but for the most part, there's only really one one to go about them.

=== Group 1 ===

* '''Flee Recast:''' Skip.
* '''Hide Recast:''' Skip.
* '''Sneak Attack Recast:''' 5/5 is ideal as SA is going to be your primary source of big deeps. You ''could'' reduce this a bit to even out with TA if you wanted, but your overall dps will suffer a bit. Your call.
* '''Trick Attack Recast:''' whatever you don't spend on SA you can put here. Overall, you have 5 points total to spend between this and SA. Choose wisely.
* '''Trick Attack Rate:''' max this out (5/5) first thing.

== Subjobs ==
Thief has a few different options for subjobs, but 99% of the time you'll be using either NIN or WAR.

=== Ninja ===

* Shadows, Dual Wield II , Subtle Blow II

Everyone's favorite subjob. /nin gives you access to the icon dual wield. This is great because many of THF's weapons have stat boosts on them, and being able to equip two weapons means double the stat boosts. On Horizon, Dual Wield I doesnt affect delay, so the rate of attack with 2 weapons will just be the combined total of both weapons' delays. But Dual Wield II does give you a slight delay reduction, so after level 50, you should see a nice little uptick in damage from that. That stats are the big thing here though.

In addtion to DW, you also get shadows via Utsusemi: Ichi (and later Utsusemi: Ni). This allows for increased survivability and is especially useful when soloing/farming and pulling.

=== Warrior ===

* Berserk, Warcry, Double Attack I, Attack Bonus I

In terms of raw damage, /WAR is going to provide more than /NIN. however it does so at the cost of survivability. Soloing is much more challenging and requires more resting, and you'll be taking a lot more of a bruising in parties when you inevitably pull some hate from sneak attack.

In terms of utility, you lose out on /NIN's Tonko for invisibility, but you do get Provoke, which can help you take hate in emergencies (staying alive once you have that hate is another thing all together though).

=== Beastmaster ===

* Charm, Wide Scan

For NM camping /BST gives you access to an instant claim at 15 yalm as well as wide scan for spotting NMs with wide spawn areas. Beastmaster will be your go to NM camping subjob.

=== Bard ===

* Lullaby, Ballad, Other songs

This is pretty much a Dynamis only subjob. It allows you to apply TH to enemies without waking them up. You are also able to ballad your parties mages and add an extra song to your DD.

=== Dark Knight ===

* Last Resort, Souleater, Attack Bonus II, Damage Limit+ I. Absorb spells

I haven't actually tested this on horizon, but on paper, it does seem like it could be pretty potent as well as provide some useful utility in certain end game content. Theoretically, it should result in higher attack than even /WAR if your attack isn't already capped, so overall dps could be higher. You also have Absorb spells like Absorb-AGI and Absorb-CHR that can add some extra potency if you can get them to land.

The utility I spoke of comes in endgame content like dynamis where you can use Poisonga to land TH on a bunch of enemies at once and not take any hate since it will almost always be resisted. This is a popular trick in current retail.

Some actual testing of this idea needs to be performed before I can say for sure that it's useful or not, but it has promise at least.

All credit goes to [https://ffxiclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/User:Malizia Malizia] for their [https://ffxiclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/User:Malizia/End_Game_Thief_Equipment_Guide Endgame Thief Gear Guide]'s Level 75 version which this is directly based off of, to be edited for HorizonXI. Please contribute to this guide as needed.

 

What kind of equipment sets do THFs carry? For each set I'll include a baseline (maximum effectiveness for minimal time/effort/gil) and a higher quality set. Often times it's not really feasible to determine the "best" item for any set, so you'll have to find out what you like yourself! Prices are based on HorizonXI server at the time of writing. Finally, two notes: 
* Make sure you can swap in your TH4 pieces at any time with any of these sets. I tend to full-time these with monsters that die quickly.
* Skill > Equipment. Make sure you complete your roles as a THF! 

===Daggers===

 

'''DD Daggers:'''
* [[Mandau]]: Sure, it's really nice. It's the best DD dagger hands down. Oh, and then there's the price...
* [[Blau Dolch]]: Excellent mainhand, excellent offhand. If you have the gil for this, you won't be disappointed. Many THFs mainhand this and offhand [[Thief's Knife]], and that's a fine choice.
* [[X's Knife]]: Very hard to get - it's a low drop rate from a post-CoP [[quest]] that's a lot like an ENM. But increased critical hit damage! Start spamming [[Evisceration]] instead of [[Dancing Edge]], but make sure you have the gear to get those crits! Works offhand as well.
* [[Perseus's Harpe]]: High base damage - second only to Mandau.
* [[Martial Knife]]: The premium mainhand dagger for those starting endgame. Makes your weaponskills work as if you were at 2000TP instead of 1000TP - very good with [[Shark Bite]]. Cheap and strong. Can even surpass the [[Blau Dolch]] in situations where you are only Weaponskilling (building TP on other mobs or using /SAM for [[Meditate]]).
* [[Thief's Knife]]: [[Sozu Rogberry|NM]] drop, occasionally attacks twice, making it the best offhand dagger for building TP. Debatably the best offhand overall, along with...
* [[Sirocco Kukri]]: [[Kreutzet|NM]] drop, and lowest delay possible on a dagger. Very nice offhand.
* [[Magnet Knife]] / [[Misericorde]]: low on gil? This is a super-cheap starting combo for DD.
* [[Vajra]]: Expensive and hard to get! Gives a 10% bonus to SA/TA.
* [[Azoth]] / [[Harpe]]-style daggers: An okay stop-gap if you can get them cheap. 

'''Specialty Daggers:'''
* [[Bartholomew's Knife]]: For the +steal, not too hard to get either. Not a DD dagger.

 

===TP Set===
There's plenty of debate about how to fine tune this one. Rest assured, you want lots of accuracy, and lots of haste, or haste-like bonuses. You might notice the [[Homam Corazza Set]] makes a strong showing here, and getting excellent gear here is challenging because you're competing with so many other jobs.

===Evasion Set===
A very important set. This keeps you alive and allows you to pull! You'll often find you don't actually have to use it, but you'll be glad it's there when you need it. The emphasis here is evasion, evasion skill, and AGI, where 2 AGI is one evasion, and evasion and evasion skill are about the same.

<big>'''!!! The below is a work in-progess and may still contain out-of-era equipment !!!'''</big>

===Weaponskill Set===
What? A separate weaponskill, sneak attack, and trick attack set?? Sure! If you want to maximize your damage, having three different sets allows you to maximize the potential for each ability, use them separately from each other, and even separate them entirely from your weaponskills. If you're really up for it, you can even have different sets for each of the three weaponskills you'll use: [[Dancing Edge]], [[Shark Bite]], and [[Evisceration]]. 
Oh, and while we're on the subject of weaponskills, let's talk about how to use them without SATA:
* [[Dancing Edge]] is your bread and butter. Five hits, uses [[DEX]] and [[CHR]] as stats. You'll want to focus on [[DEX]] and [[accuracy]] here.
* [[Shark Bite]] makes light skillchains. Two hits, uses [[DEX]]. I'd focus on [[DEX]] and [[attack]] here, but make sure you have enough accuracy to hit twice!
* [[Evisceration]] makes dark skillchains. Five hits, uses [[DEX]], and interestingly enough can score [[Critical Hit|critical hits]] on each hit! This is extra snazzy if you have, say, an [[X's Knife]] (good luck!). Otherwise this is pretty much the same build as [[Dancing Edge]]. If you don't have enough [[DEX]] to reliably critical hit (at least 120 with gear) you might want to stick to [[Dancing Edge]].
* [[Mercy Stroke]] makes fun of the other weaponskills because they don't require a [[Mandau]]. If you're special enough to have the relic weapon, you probably don't need this guide! :p But for everyone else who's dreaming about it, you'll want plenty of STR for this build, and of course plenty of gil to spend. 

Let's just do the DE/Evisceration set here; it's decent enough for SB as well and you can always make modifications as you have more gear to play with! The [[Hecatomb Harness Set]] does quite nicely here once you get access to [[Sky]] and [[Einherjar]] / HNM, and the [[Dragon Harness Set]] does quite nicely until then. Also, if you thought the TP set was hard to get... wait until you try this one :)

HQ: [[DEX]] +57, [[Accuracy]] +24, [[Dagger Skill]] +7, [[Double Attack]] +5%, [[Attack]] +41, [[STR]] +33, costs 24M+ 

===Sneak Attack Set===
Take your WS set, and get rid of [[Accuracy]] for more [[DEX]], [[STR]] and [[Attack]]! There's also a lively debate on the usefulness of -delay/haste items (such as [[Suppanomimi]] and [[Skadi's Visor]]) and +[[Movement Speed]] items here. They aren't as potent as the [[Hecatomb Harness Set]], but they potentially increase the number of attacks you get in general (for -delay/haste items) and increase the likelihood that you can actually land your sneak attack (movement speed items). Remember how I said no one's going to line up your sneak attack for you anymore? And that mobs are likely to turn when you least want them to? Well with +movement speed you can turn around (to avoid missing your sneak attack), run around to their new backside, and actually hit them for your spike damage ''much'' faster than if you, say, wore pieces from the [[Dusk Jerkin Set]]. At least that's the theory anyways... you'll have to decide what's best for you :p

Unlike with the other sets, this is going to require ''completely different'' equipment. Might want to take your time with this one.

===Ranged Set===
Some might say you actually get ''two'' ranged sets, one for accuracy (landing status bolts) and one for DD (THF/RNG). I'd say the accuracy one is going to be used much much more; if you need a THF/RNG DD build you can take this build and add some +[[Ranged Attack]] (free malihint! change the [[Jaeger Mantle]] for an [[Amemet Mantle +1]]!), and switch to guns. Guns!

All credit goes to [https://ffxiclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/User:Malizia Malizia] for their [https://ffxiclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/User:Malizia/End_Game_Thief_Equipment_Guide Endgame Thief Gear Guide]'s Level 75 version which this is directly based off of, to be edited for HorizonXI. Please contribute to this guide as needed.

 

What kind of equipment sets do THFs carry? For each set I'll include a baseline (maximum effectiveness for minimal time/effort/gil) and a higher quality set. Often times it's not really feasible to determine the "best" item for any set, so you'll have to find out what you like yourself! Prices are based on HorizonXI server at the time of writing. Finally, two notes: 
* Make sure you can swap in your TH4 pieces at any time with any of these sets. I tend to full-time these with monsters that die quickly.
* Skill > Equipment. Make sure you complete your roles as a THF! 

===Daggers===

 

'''DD Daggers:'''
* [[Mandau]]: Sure, it's really nice. It's the best DD dagger hands down. Oh, and then there's the price...
* [[Blau Dolch]]: Excellent mainhand, excellent offhand. If you have the gil for this, you won't be disappointed. Many THFs mainhand this and offhand [[Thief's Knife]], and that's a fine choice.
* [[X's Knife]]: Very hard to get - it's a low drop rate from a post-CoP [[quest]] that's a lot like an ENM. But increased critical hit damage! Start spamming [[Evisceration]] instead of [[Dancing Edge]], but make sure you have the gear to get those crits! Works offhand as well.
* [[Perseus's Harpe]]: High base damage - second only to Mandau.
* [[Martial Knife]]: The premium mainhand dagger for those starting endgame. Makes your weaponskills work as if you were at 2000TP instead of 1000TP - very good with [[Shark Bite]]. Cheap and strong. Can even surpass the [[Blau Dolch]] in situations where you are only Weaponskilling (building TP on other mobs or using /SAM for [[Meditate]]).
* [[Thief's Knife]]: [[Sozu Rogberry|NM]] drop, occasionally attacks twice, making it the best offhand dagger for building TP. Debatably the best offhand overall, along with...
* [[Sirocco Kukri]]: [[Kreutzet|NM]] drop, and lowest delay possible on a dagger. Very nice offhand.
* [[Magnet Knife]] / [[Misericorde]]: low on gil? This is a super-cheap starting combo for DD.
* [[Vajra]]: Expensive and hard to get! Gives a 10% bonus to SA/TA.
* [[Azoth]] / [[Harpe]]-style daggers: An okay stop-gap if you can get them cheap. 

'''Specialty Daggers:'''
* [[Bartholomew's Knife]]: For the +steal, not too hard to get either. Not a DD dagger.

 

===TP Set===
There's plenty of debate about how to fine tune this one. Rest assured, you want lots of accuracy, and lots of haste, or haste-like bonuses. You might notice the [[Homam Corazza Set]] makes a strong showing here, and getting excellent gear here is challenging because you're competing with so many other jobs.

===Evasion Set===
A very important set. This keeps you alive and allows you to pull! You'll often find you don't actually have to use it, but you'll be glad it's there when you need it. The emphasis here is evasion, evasion skill, and AGI, where 2 AGI is one evasion, and evasion and evasion skill are about the same.

<big>'''!!! The below is a work in-progess and may still contain out-of-era equipment !!!'''</big>

===Weaponskill Set===
What? A separate weaponskill, sneak attack, and trick attack set?? Sure! If you want to maximize your damage, having three different sets allows you to maximize the potential for each ability, use them separately from each other, and even separate them entirely from your weaponskills. If you're really up for it, you can even have different sets for each of the three weaponskills you'll use: [[Dancing Edge]], [[Shark Bite]], and [[Evisceration]]. 
Oh, and while we're on the subject of weaponskills, let's talk about how to use them without SATA:
* [[Dancing Edge]] is your bread and butter. Five hits, uses [[DEX]] and [[CHR]] as stats. You'll want to focus on [[DEX]] and [[accuracy]] here.
* [[Shark Bite]] makes light skillchains. Two hits, uses [[DEX]]. I'd focus on [[DEX]] and [[attack]] here, but make sure you have enough accuracy to hit twice!
* [[Evisceration]] makes dark skillchains. Five hits, uses [[DEX]], and interestingly enough can score [[Critical Hit|critical hits]] on each hit! This is extra snazzy if you have, say, an [[X's Knife]] (good luck!). Otherwise this is pretty much the same build as [[Dancing Edge]]. If you don't have enough [[DEX]] to reliably critical hit (at least 120 with gear) you might want to stick to [[Dancing Edge]].
* [[Mercy Stroke]] makes fun of the other weaponskills because they don't require a [[Mandau]]. If you're special enough to have the relic weapon, you probably don't need this guide! :p But for everyone else who's dreaming about it, you'll want plenty of STR for this build, and of course plenty of gil to spend. 

Let's just do the DE/Evisceration set here; it's decent enough for SB as well and you can always make modifications as you have more gear to play with! The [[Hecatomb Harness Set]] does quite nicely here once you get access to [[Sky]] and [[Einherjar]] / HNM, and the [[Dragon Harness Set]] does quite nicely until then. Also, if you thought the TP set was hard to get... wait until you try this one :)

HQ: [[DEX]] +57, [[Accuracy]] +24, [[Dagger Skill]] +7, [[Double Attack]] +5%, [[Attack]] +41, [[STR]] +33, costs 24M+ 

===Sneak Attack Set===
Take your WS set, and get rid of [[Accuracy]] for more [[DEX]], [[STR]] and [[Attack]]! There's also a lively debate on the usefulness of -delay/haste items (such as [[Suppanomimi]] and [[Skadi's Visor]]) and +[[Movement Speed]] items here. They aren't as potent as the [[Hecatomb Harness Set]], but they potentially increase the number of attacks you get in general (for -delay/haste items) and increase the likelihood that you can actually land your sneak attack (movement speed items). Remember how I said no one's going to line up your sneak attack for you anymore? And that mobs are likely to turn when you least want them to? Well with +movement speed you can turn around (to avoid missing your sneak attack), run around to their new backside, and actually hit them for your spike damage ''much'' faster than if you, say, wore pieces from the [[Dusk Jerkin Set]]. At least that's the theory anyways... you'll have to decide what's best for you :p

===Trick Attack Set===
Unlike with the other sets, this is going to require ''completely different'' equipment. Might want to take your time with this one.

 '''TOTAL:''' 
Baseline: [[AGI]] +31, [[Attack]] +42, [[STR]] +9, costs 308K 
HQ: [[AGI]] +46, [[Trick Attack]] adds extra 15% of AGI, [[Dagger Skill]] +7, [[Haste]] +3%, [[Dual Wield]] -5% delay, [[Attack]] +45, [[STR]] +7, 12% [[Movement Speed]], costs 18M+ 

===Ranged Set===
Some might say you actually get ''two'' ranged sets, one for accuracy (landing status bolts) and one for DD (THF/RNG). I'd say the accuracy one is going to be used much much more; if you need a THF/RNG DD build you can take this build and add some +[[Ranged Attack]] (free malihint! change the [[Jaeger Mantle]] for an [[Amemet Mantle +1]]!), and switch to guns. Guns!
