Thief: Difference between revisions

<center>''If you become a thief, you'll be able to steal your enemy's belongings. You will also be able to tell how much treasure is in the vicinity.''

--Description in ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''</center>

Thieves have high agility and balanced physical stats with decent attack and defensive power making them nimble melee combatants. What makes them vital to a party is their ability to steal items from the last monster defeated at the end of a fight. Outside of dungeons and caves they possess abilities such as [[Eye for Distance]] that allow the player to locate villages and nearby towns.

===Starting equipment===

*[[Plain clothes|Clothes]]

Thieves may steal from the last enemy vanquished in an encounter, with the success probability being calculated thusly: {(LVL x item drop rate)/8}.

Thief is one of the prerequisites for the [[Ranger]] vocation (along with [[Monster Master]] and [[Merchant]]).

Regarding evolution, the Thief can combine a mastered [[Shepherd]] class to become a [[Tamer]]. 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 [[Mariner]] 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.

The Thief vocation is available at the start of the game and has the unique skillset "Acquisitivess". Thieves can also use skill points to learn [[Sword]], [[Knife]], [[Claw]], and [[Fisticuffs]] skills. Their [[Coup-de-Grace]] is "Itemized Kill," which guarantees treasure dropped after the battle.
