1. Introduction
What is the point of thieving? To steal loot from traders after fighting hunters in many cases for it. Also to make a good amount of money.

2. Camouflage
Keep in mind that your gear stays hidden when you have your thief suit on. When your running around on the open planes it is recommended to use a 4th or 5th weapon. Preferably +3 or +5. Remember not to use a SOSUN weapon when doing this. Reasons are as follows, most people that
carry low level sosun weapons are high levels as toys, this is a well-known fact. Furthermore avoid buffs that can be seen.

If Chinese:
Keep the buffs to a similar level as your weapon to avoid suspicion. If you don't want to deal with making low level buffs then just use the first grass walk. Remember, most people don't check the level of your skill, just the appearance of it.

If Euro:
Keep from using any buffs until you see combat. It is easier to tell some of the Euro buffs apart from the lower level ones. The drawing changes substantially.

3. Thief Town
Pretty self explanatory. A place where thieves come to turn in goods, get supplies to go thieving with. This is where you sign up to become a thief.
There are only two ways to get to thief town. 1 in Jangan and the other in Constantinople.

The circles above are where the thief town teleporters are. They are there in case you want to switch to thief or if there are no more bandit den return scrolls in your inventory.

4. Requirements
To be a thief there are certain things that are needed.
Code:
1. A transport horse for goods
2. Bandit Den return scrolls (Recommend buying 50 at a time)
3. Thief Suit (Duh xD)
4. Horse pills (recomended but not needed)


5. Tips and Tricks
Some things that may help thieving
Code:
1. Most 5* trades do not follow paths unless required
2. Euros can pick up goods while invisible
3. 1* trades after lvl 40 can be killed
4. After getting goods, the whole party should teleport to thief town to share exp (can be used for powerlevel)
5. Remember to have a euro that can go invisible. It helps to stalk a 5* trade when the whole party scattered. Use an area to ambush the the traders and hunters


6. Camping
Remember to keep the party scattered to getting a wider ground range covered. In the maps below are places to camp.

Remember to keep a basic zone around these areas.

7. Party Requirements
There are certain builds needed in a party, the other spots are optional.

At least 1 euro that can go invis
Keep the cleric out of a thief suit for buffs and res. You may give up some specialties such as bless spell however if the cleric was in suit, the cleric would be the #1 target and definitely die.

As for the rest of the spots keep them however you wish to.

Now have fun, hope it helped and go rob someone :)

Super Strategy vs overwhelming odds. Kill a trader so that their loot is on the ground. Run away. Go get your Bull stuck somewhere out of sight. Go grab as much loot as you can before dying. Grab the loot and wait out the scroll.

If the Cleric isn't buffed by Warriors they are a lot easier to kill then most would think... They are pretty much a SSE and Ghost Spear unless they have Bless.
