Thief:en

A few Skills are very important for a Thief:

• Stealing (at least 100 for Artifacts)
• 100 Hiding
• 100 Stealth
• Skill for Protection/Teleportation: Chivalry(min. 70) or Magery (actually more a Fighter Skill)

After that there are few different Combinations you could try:

• Lockpicking
• Detect Hidden
• Remove Trap
• Meditation
• Snooping
• Ninjitsu

Stealing

You should at least have 70 or more to steal from other Players. To steal an Artifact from, for example, Doom, you will need at least 100 Stealing, sometimes even 120.

Hiding & Stealth

Hiding is in every Scenario very helpful if you have 100. At this Skill Level you will never fail at hiding. There is no PowerScroll for this Skill. To train your Stealth Skill as high as possible is also advised, since if you can sneak in (and in which) armor depends on your Skill and also with a higher Skill you are less likely to be found with Tracking.

Chivalry or Magery & Meditation

A Skill that allows you to teleport is very important, so before you skill your Character you should think about which way you want to go. If you want to go into Dungeons and steal Artifacts Magery is probably preferrable, since you can defend with it. If you want to steal from Players, then Chivalry is better, since you don't need Reagents for it and your Chivalry book is Blessed. Meditation is mostly recommended if you use Magery.

Lockpicking & Detect Hidden & Remove Trap

These three Skills complement one another: Lockpicking to open Chests (for example in Dungeons), Detect Hidden to find Traps and Remove Trap to remove them. Keep in mind that you can also remove traps from chests by using the "Telekinesis" Magery spell.

Snooping

You only need this Skill if you want to steal from other Players, it allows you to look into their pockets.

Ninjitsu

Ninjitsu is also a Skill mostly used for stealing from other Players: You can use the Animal Form so people can't spot you that easily. A Skill of 70 is completely fine, because then you can cast the Animal Form Ostard or Lama and run faster that way. That's important because you can't sneak on a mount.

Other than that you can use Smoke Bombs, which break the line of sight to all enemies. With enough Hiding you can hide instantly and anywhere using them.
