Thieves may steal from the last enemy vanquished in an encounter, with the success probability being calculated thus: '''{(LVL x item drop rate)/8}'''. Unlike later games in the series ''III's'' thieves do not have their success rate limited to 1/8th and can effectively reach 100% for most items with a party of pilferers.

==''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''==

~~Thief~~ is one of the prerequisites for the [[Ranger]] vocation (along with [[Monster Master]] and [[Merchant]]). ~~Their auto~~-stealing rate ~~improves with each~~ Rank ~~increase~~, doubling at Rank 8 ~~in the super famicom version~~ . This means a party of thieves will have an 8 times higher chance to nab an item ~~when playing~~ the ~~original~~.

The thief is one of the prerequisites for the [[Ranger]] vocation (along with [[Monster Master]] and [[Merchant]]). The calculation for post-battle stealing is '''Drop rate x (Rank+1) x 0.25''', doubling the base rate at Rank 8. This means a party of thieves will have an 8 times higher chance to nab an item. Note that the chance to steal any item has a hard limit of 12.5% ({{fraction|1|8}}) regardless of vocation rank.

The thief is one of the basic vocations available at [[Alltrades Abbey (Dragon Quest VII)|Alltrades Abbey]]. It is one of the prerequisites for both the [[Pirate]] (along with [[Sailor]]) and the [[Monster Masher]] vocation (along with [[Shepherd]]).

Line 397:

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 ~~evolution~~, 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 Park]]. The Thief can also combine a mastered [[Shepherd]] 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.
