I'm going mithra thief/ranger. Ranger/thief has 3 more agi, but 8 less dex, estimated at level 65/32.
I have a fascist regime, so I can just hide behind my party and leech.

[Jei]

my THF just reached 22 ^^ gotta love it when my WS alone take away 75% HP of my enemy muwahaha :spin:

i'm going with THF/WAR until level 45 ^^ that probably will be the highest level im going to raise my THF ^^

[Schneids]

o

i want to start off as a THF then for my first sub put down a monk for hp, then make my sub a NIN

sound good?

[DarkWill]

Well I think of being Thief as the main job to lvl 30 and after switching to Ninja as a sub.How do you think this sounds?

[Schneids]

yeah

yeah thats what i want to do, but once i am lvl 18 i am going to get the sub job of a monk(cann't get nin till lvl 30) and then it will be easyier to kill ppl, i would have more hp

what is the quest for a ninga

[Jei]

I kind of like THF/NIN too ^^ it's a very nice combination if you're using knife. holding 2 knife and the you can charge TP really quick.
/NIN will give no benefit if you use grapple tho ^^

im going to just play as a thief/monk throughout the whole game until i hit lvl 60/30, then im going to swap and level up my monk to lvl 60, then im going to mess around with the ninja and dragoon levels ^_^;; that would keep me occupied with FFXI for some time ^_^;;

[Calilove]

Hey Kinuko... DOPE SIG! Is all that Art that you've drawn? It's fresh!

[Mithra91487]

^_^;; no, i didnt draw it, sry, its not my best sig though, i need to install photoshop and then it would look alot better ^_^;; i dont really like how it is right now

I want to start as either a Thief, a Monk, or a White Mage. As a Hume
As the mage I can heal and help people
I think being a theif would be cool to be and would be useful after level 15 and use that for chocobo/Sub job quests
A Monk just might be a cool to start as. I won't feel as limited/relying as a Monk- I'll be another person to fight he monsters with

I can't wait...

[DJ_Shirow]

I would start as something other than a Thief as they are really slow to level. White mage, warrior, or monk are all good choices. Any of those are easy to get into a PT with too, as people are always looking for healers or tanks to be in their PT. Once you complete the sub-job quest then go back and level up Thief, it will make life much easier for you.

I'm shooting for a Paladin/Thief combo. It will be hard, but I'll swallow my pride and ask people to help me level up in my early days...

By the way, the Paladin learns a few healing spells, right? Does that mean he is a hate generator as well as the "Taunt" ability? :sweat:

They arent a very good Hate Generator without war sub i'm afraid... -_-

[Shadowed]

A lot of Thief/Monks.... What about Monk/Thief?! What, is that weaker or something? Because I was planning on becoming Monk/Theif...

Hey, I'm still a theif, and, "I like swords."

[Vivid]

whoa

alrighty, i've read all of the posts here. hehe, and as you can tell from my sig, *points bellow*, i have thf and nin fairly high up there.

thf/mnk
this is a good combination. a lot of thf's i know (minus me) have gone with this. however, in the importing community, you seem to be restricted with subbing war if you want to even get into a pt... don't lemme go into my tactics rant.......

thf/war
probably the fastest way to lvl thf. not the best (in my opinion) basically because a thf doesn't have the strength to hold an opponent long enough to handle the dmg neccesary to be an effective taunter.... again, all my opinion~

thf/nin
my holy combination. i don't use grapple/claw anyways, so nin gives me uber thf status~ i love the double dagger wielding here, makes me look much better.

ok, now on to the other things i saw here....

rng/thf
i used to play as this when lvling my rng. i found out that war is actually a better sub for ranger. and i don't like to lvl war, so i said goodbye to ranger~

nin/thf
my current combination. holy? yes. good pts? no. i'll fess up, i know the JP people would like me to sub war here.... but i won't do it, not unless they ask me to. the fact of the matter here is that (in my opinion) ninjas have way too little vitality to taunt... they'd just be wasting whm mp on them when the whm could be healing a war who actually DOES something with their taunts. oh, and btw, i hardly ever take damage during fights, unless of course the monster has an area attack... yes, im uber.

and a few myths and truths...

thf being hard to lvl
yeah, totally true.... the whole way, lvl 1- lvl 60 (now 65) will be a tough journey.... i hardly got pts....

thf being worth it
i'd say if you're lvling thf for money, go to 45 at the highest. you only need treasure hunter II~ i totally think all the work is worth it, in the end, i plan on getting both nin and thf to 65.

thf being boring
if you're even reading this, you don't belong in a post that is marked "Thieve's Guild"......

alrighty, i think im about done here..... feel free to PM me about any other information you'd like to know.... i don't think im the highest lvl'd thf in this forum... actually, i KNOW im not the highest lvl'd thf here, so i may not know half the things others do... take that back, im lvl 34 thf... i DO know half the things the others do
*disappears into a cloud of smoke*

[DJ_Shirow]

Does anyone have any experience being a THF 55 / NIN 27 or higher? The reason I am asking is due to the fact that Thieves get triple attack at 55, and ninjas have dual wield, so how does that combine?

Do you get 3 dual-wield attacks? That would be very nice indeed...
