The Thief's best skill is Nose for Treasure which allows treasure hunters to know how much treasure is left on a particular floor. As for hybrid skills, Thief Hit, the hybrid skill of a [[Warrior]] and a Thief, is probably one of the useful hybrid skills to learn as it has the chance of taking one item from a monster regardless of whether or not it is defeated. However, the default stealing rate is quite low. To this end, the character must have a high rank in the vocation to steal reliably.

Regarding vocation progression, the Thief can combine a mastered [[Shepherd]] class to become a [[Monster Masher]]. They will learn all sorts of breath skills and have a chance at taming monsters for the [[Monster Meadows]]. The Thief can also combine a mastered [[Sailor]] class to become a [[Pirate]]. The Pirate learns sea based attacks which is useful as most monsters, save the aquatic ones, don't have resistance to these skills. Plus they are cost effective.

Thief is a basic vocation that focuses in inflicting [[status effect|status effects]] and traps on their enemies.
 
Mastering Thief and [[Sailor]] unlocks the [[Pirate]] vocation. Mastering this vocation and [[Shepherd]] unlocks the [[Monster Master]] vocation.

The Thief vocation is available at the start of the game and has the unique skillset "Acquisitiveness". As all the vocation designs in ''IX'' are based on real world cultures, thieves have eschewed the burglar outfits for clothing based on Arabian bandits. Thieves can also use skill points to learn [[Sword]], [[Knife]], [[Claw]], and [[List of fisticuffs skills in Dragon Quest IX|Fisticuffs]] skills. Their [[Coup-de-Grace]] is "[[Itemized Kill]]" which guarantees treasure dropped after the battle. Thieves still possess their unique ability to steal items, but through the newly added skill "Half-Inch".

Thieves are the second fastest vocation in the game, trailing behind the [[Martial Artist]]. They also have the second highest {{Deftness}} in the game, which allows them to not only steal items at a higher success rate, but land more [[Critical Hit]]s as the feature now scales off of Deftness.

Thief is one of the basic vocations in the game. They specialise in equipping blue-coloured [[List of memories in Dragon Quest Smash/Grow|Memories]] and their preferred weapons are {{Sword}}s, {{Claw}}s, and {{Boomerang}}s. When controlling a Thief, their trait "[[Dodgy Character]]" allows them to periodically dodge enemy attacks. Their Party Boon "Quick Step" increases the party's movement speed slightly. Reaching Level 50 as a Thief is one of the requirements to become a [[Ranger]].
