best food for thf

[LunarCry]

what's the best food for a thief?

should be some fish, cause they give dex+, but i don't know much more

[Sinzer]

I eat Meat Mithkabobs to boost my STR and ATK, this is indispensable for IT mobs as it means you build up your TP much quicker for stacking with sneak.

Hm, how would str and attack help you build more TP vs IT mobs?

ATK generally determines how likely you are to hit as well how much damage you do.

Well that is what I have seen, the more you hit and the harder you hit for the more TP you build.

Afaik ATK only determines your damage and not your accuracy. Fruthermore the amount of TP you get per hit is based on what type of weapon you use, not on how much damage you inflict.

I would prefer meat mithkabobs over dex+ foods. First reason is because dex will only effect accuracy, and critical hits. Meat mithkabobs will effect how much dmg you will do per hit. Since a minor dex+2 stat boost will give you almost unnoticable difference with your sneak, it's practically useless. And dex will not effect how much dmg you put out per hit either. A meat mithkabob on the other hand will give me a difference on how much dmg I deal per hit and provide greater damage for fuidama too. I find that meat mithkabob+berserk+fuidama+viper bite deals more dmg than dex+2+berserk+fuidama+viper bite.

Too lazy to delete some of that so i'll quote all of it. Dont forget there are +3 Dex foods .

I eat meat mithkabobs too.

You can only do sneak and trick once every minute and +2 dex won't change much. Meat mithkabobs are better.

Meat mithkabobs - mainstream
Roast pipira - richer - DEX+3, MND-1, ATK+14.5%
Sharkfin soup - burning money

How much do stacks of Roast Pipira go for?

Check auction house in your own world server. I'm a dirty ragnarok whore, where things are a bajillion gil nyan.
