Usefulness
The Thief's best skill is Smell 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 stealing rate is quite low. To this end, the character must have a high luck value to steal successfully.
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.
Dragon Quest IX
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.
