i need to level thf , drk here Q

[coolffxi]

well i want to level thf to like 35 and i do not want to spend money on thf gear when i hit 35 i will ditch it compleatly.
what should i get from level 1-35 armor wise and knife wise?

[leii]

so uhh u should level ur thief to 37
but anyway i guess u could get leather armor at level 7. and at 15 or 16 get bone armor. at level 21 get bone armor and at level 28 or so get a doublet.

Use a sword till 25 then dual weild windy knives. And @ 30 get full set of merc captain gear minus the legs.

i think leii meant "at 21 get beetle armor"

I used the same gear for warrior as i did for thief up to a point, so here's a rundown:

1-10--bronze gear

7-10--leather gear if you want to, you're technically still soloing, but please get leather trousers at least; male avatars in underwear subligar = yuck

10-17--CP gear; I used sandorian conquest gear; use that set or the bastok set, they're both okay; i used leather trousers instead of scale cuisses because thief can't equip those

17-21--lizard gear

21-30--beetle gear

30-37--mercenary captain's gear (windurst conquest points also); that will last you til you end thief at 37 and is the first different piece of non-warrior gear that i wore as a thief; i think it can last you to 40 if they ever raise the cap to 80

hope you have fun as a thief. and remember, most armor can be treated as rentals.

Swords till about 25 and then switch to daggers, the best one if you can afford it, because its around then the level cap REALLY starts to get noticeable and you'll start skilling up the dagger smoothly for VB instead of having to greatly power it up at 33.
