Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 140 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 140 Donate  | Dagger From the Start Hello well ive finally decided to become a thief (i lvled all the starting classes and liked thief the best)
Im just wondering if i go dagger at the start will i be gimping myself at early lvls until higher levels. Everyone in game that i asked said that sword is better until 33, but i really dont feel like lvling up 2 different weapon skills and buying 2 weapons.. |  | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 01-07-2004, 09:22 PM | #2 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2003 Posts: 107 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0

Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 157 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 157 Donate | You really do need to level sword, dagger and H2H. This will make you the best THF and more attractive to groups.
It doesn't cost that much for weapons, the weapons I am using are around 2-5K each.  *************************

Thanked 12x in 9 Posts Gil: 3,011 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 3,011 Donate | I only lvld Dagger and Sword, no H2H and i was never asked for H2H. They delay is too long anyway... Swords are better damage and have better WS than Daggers.
Im 32 now, started dual wielding Daggers at 31 and got the skill maxed out already. Its not very hard to build it. Do swords, beter damage and WS, then switch... | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 01-08-2004, 05:37 PM | #5 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Dec 2002 Posts: 330 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0

Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 1,378 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 1,378 Donate | I capped Grapples, sword, and dagger for awhile, then at 24 I kind of stopped with grapples. Today I bought a pair of Lynx Baghnaks and decided I'd skill my grapples up. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 01-08-2004, 06:43 PM | #7 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2003 Posts: 90 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0

Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 481 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 481 Donate | The first couple of levels of my Thief. I did Hand2Hand with Monk subbed. Made the levling WAY easier. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 01-09-2004, 01:53 AM | #9 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2003 Posts: 200 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0
Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 157 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 157 Donate | I use a MNK sub and the damage done by grapples seems on par with a sword if not better.
It certainly seems that I build up TP faster with grapples and combo is awesome to finish on as it is usually nucleate heat (fire) and many things are vulnerable to that. *************************
