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.
