For the Trick Control Thief - Max out STR for more damage. No need to add AGI early. As for the hit rate, you can rely on your equipment.

Thief Class Progression

After graduating from the Novice Academy, you will begin your journey by traveling to Morroc, the desert city of Rune-Midgard Kingdom, to receive your Job Change quest from the Thief Guild. 

The first quest is to flip a coin to test your luck

Next is to find the treasure chest and provide the correct codeword

Then you need to recite the code word and summon Kidd the thief

To where you will be asked to open the chest.

And for the last trial, you need to get past obstacles while hiding.

Find the mushroom maker and defeat it

And finally, report back to the trainer and toss the coin again

Congratulations! You are now a Thief.

You will be given a Dagger.

1. Once you change your job to Thief, focus on completing the "Twilight Lotus" quest.
2. You will be Base Lvl 15 and will be able to unlock the daily commission quest. Do not spend your daily tickets here and hunt monsters outside the town first. Until you reach Base level 17 where you can complete the "Traces of Baphomet: Sub quest."
3. Once done, hunts some Rockers and Thief Bugs until you reach Base level 22.
4. Continue the Main quest "Spirit Pieces."
5. And complete the rest of your battle time grinding in the following leveling spots.

Leveling Spots:

Since daggers have less damage to Medium and Large monsters due to the Weapon Size penalty, you may want to target small-size monsters to inflict full damage. 

1. Prontera West Gate - For Base levels 10 to 20. Target Savage Bebe and Thief Bugs.

2. Desert Crossroad - For Base level 20 up. Target Desert Wolf Baby and Scorpion.

3. Byalan Island - For Base level 40 up. Target Vadon and Hydra for Card.




Special Tips for the Thief Class:

- Like the other Physical classes Thief are highly dependent on weapon converters to deal more damage. You need to bring dagger converters when grinding. 

- Concentration potion is a must early game as well since you need all the Attack Speed stats that you can get.

- Poison skills work early game since adventurers don't have enough VIT to counter it. Though it will become less useful from mid to end game. 

Pros and Cons of playing as Thief:

Pros: Able to deliver continuous single-target damage in a short time without getting hit much. This class can kill an enemy in the shortest amount of time, meaning faster leveling at higher levels. Though the thief's progression starts slow, but will deal massive damage in the long run. 

Cons: Due to low VIT, thieves will take heavy damage in the beginning when the flee is low and will die in mobs because flee is reduced as there are more monsters attacking. This means you will use many potions in lower levels until flee become sufficient, or slow leveling depending if STR or AGI is the primary stat pumped.

You need to be careful when fighting in aggro areas since you will take high damage.

This is just a basic guide but feel free to adjust depending on your playstyle. Rok On!
