Question about Treasure Hunter, Aurix and Dynamis Divergence!

[Gwydion]

As it stands now, there is some debate on the significance of Treasure Hunter levels 1-4 vs higher values of Treasure Hunter. (People are arguing over where using a party slot of Thief (TH8-12,13,14) is worth the effort or worth taking up a party slot.

Could you tell us how TH1-4 contributes to the increased drop-rate of an item? Could you compare this to Treasure Hunter levels 8-14? At the very least, if you could tell us if each level of TH is a uniform increase, that would be a huge help.

My guess: Is each Treasure Hunter level a "roll" at getting a certain item with a %-drop rate to appear in the treasure pool? i.e. TH8 is 8 rolls at item with some-percentage drop-rate to occupy a slot in the treasure pool?

OR

Does TH1-4 contribute to an increased change of said item dropping? Does TH8+ further increase those chances, but considerably less than TH1-4?

Thank you.

Honestly I would prefer they just go ahead and lie about 8-14 cause the last thing I want is people killing everything slower for 1% drop increases.

More, faster, with 8 is better than less, slow, with 12-14

Frankly if TH is the only reason to consider allowing a THF in content, then it better be getting a good balance update soon.

I'd like to see other people say if THF is really as bad as these people are implying. Or is this purely about slowing down deliberately to proc higher levels of TH?

Hi SE, if it's not too much trouble, can you answer Gwydion's question and help us understand the differences between lower and higher levels of Treasure Hunter?

Sorry to derail; free bump I guess.
I'd personally like to see the cap increased for all jobs to TH12. THF can proc to 14 quickly instead of by taking forever or getting extremely lucky.
It's very difficult for any non-thf to get all that high a TH without some very rare items or augments. It would however take the focus of thief off of just being brought in for TH instead using it for its other skills instead.

now back to the question needing answered for this thread:

How about no. TH4 is sufficient, infact too high as it is. It would not 'take the focus off of thf' it would remove thf from the game.

Unless something smart happened like THF actually being worth using for anything other than TH.
