Ask a Thief Thread.

Oh thanks I thought PP dropped more amount of mesos as it levels to make ME stronger. Guess it's not worth it then if I won't be using it 4th job.

Also, where would you recommend to train at 104-110 and 110-120? Himes and Typhons gets boring real quick and I don't want to train with ME. Any good suggestions?

Yeaaah^, looked up videos, all by newbs/n00bs that had a 4x or a 5x NW, didn't help me at all. It kinda annoys me to know that the gMS community doesn't have any talented NWs that could make a video to demonstrate how to use certain skills. Ugh.

I'd make one for you if I knew how to.

The most efficient build is to have 1 Vanish and Max Bomb right away. Vanish allows you to attack from dark sight, so you can train at Newties MD at level 70. To train with bomb from 70~74, it's best to stand on the sniping platform and just JUMP + Toss bombs. It'll hit the top platform and you can get the middle platform. Once the bomb has a long enough duration you can just walk around in dark sight and drop bombs.

I have 3000 ~ 5000 attack range. what is the dmg I can do with uncharge lv 30 assassinate?

Hey i was wondering as a Assassin should i max Drain or Booster(leaning more towards Drain since Booster is only time increase), I was also wondering by 3rd Job should i just max Dark Sight, Finish Booster/Drain then put rest into Web since Shadow Meso is useless from what I'm reading

Drain would probably be the better choice.

[COLOR="darkorchid"]As we all know the adventurer crit rings are coming out (yay x3), so I was wondering wether or not any of them would beat Lillin's (lvl.3) on my Shadower. I'm not sure exactly how to do the calculations myself, so I was unsure how to decide it without asking. I know it makes Assasinate's critical hit 100% at max level, but the only time I would use that is during training where I'm only using it every so often on Ob.Gaurdians as is. If it's a negligible amount, I'd rather save the time and effort to get a ring ready for Dual Blader and maybe one for my Markswoman + Hermit, who could use it a LOT more.
Help please and ty~[/COLOR]

Just wondering...

Shadower quests: Do all the skills obtained from quests require storybooks? Or are some quests already available to begin with? Could you link me to a quest guide for the skills? Thanks a lot.

p.s. there was something else I wanted to ask but I forgot what it was...

Available from start: MW, Boomerang Step, Venom, Shadow Shifter

Available from quest: Smokescreen (requires storybook), Ninja Ambush, Assassinate, Awakening

Available from USE book: Taunt (dropped in El Nath PQ)

I can't think of any other skills off the top of my head; I think that's it.

So Smokescreen is the only one that requires a storybook? Ninja Ambush and Assassinate don't?

Correct.

Correct.

Oh, I managed to find a Shadower skill quest guide today on Basil. Thanks anyway.

Is Double Stab for you guys still force stab?

Is Double Stab for you guys still force stab?

For MapleSEA, it still looks like a forced stab...but the hit animation's a cross slash ._.

Should be the same for GMS.

Is Double Stab for you guys still force stab?

Yes.

Ah,
in kMS we had force stab with the new animation but soon after balance patches came out it was changed to nonforce stab (regular swing I guess).
Goes better with the animation.

Yes.

No it isn't. At least try it out before answering.
I'm making a bandit for my adventurer ring/to relearn how to play my CB, double stab is no longer a forced stab as of the balance patch.

Which is the better ring for Bandits? Cruel or critical?

I just got to 77 and I'm wondering when should I Start adding dex , post potential scroll system, when should I cap my dex? I got 35 ap on the side just for this. I'm wondering whats a good lvl to cap my str/dex at and when to start adding points?

also I fail at ME training how fast is BoT training compared to M.E ?

Well, since there isn't a Dual Blader forum, I guess I'll ask here, since I didn't want to create a new thread.

Would I benefit anything from going low-DEX on my Dual Blader, or should I just do things regular--DEX 2x your level and rest into LUK? If capping at a certain DEX for low-DEX is a semi-decent idea for a DB, what is an ideal place to cap?

Cyanne can you give us an updated DB skill build. (Since I cant post in your thread as it is over 21 days old I have to post here. )

Which skills are useless, which skills are a must have?
