doesnt ur TH goes up each time u hit the MOnster?

Yes TH increases overtime when you continue to melee the mob but you dot not need ur th gear on for the level to increase since its a natural thief trait all you do is put on urth gear for first hit then change ot better stuff and go to town in hopes of th increasing.

I believe you would be able too. However the Chances are incredibly Slim as it would require the Enemy to live a very long time, Or for you to get incredibly lucky with Treasure Hunter Upgrade procs.

Has there been any testing done yet that show any relation to the rate of additional levels of Treasure Hunter and wearing Treasure Hunter gear?

IF Treasure Hunter gear does affect the frequency at which the effectiveness increases, would it offset the gain one could attain be using a lower delay weapon and hitting more frequently?

I have not seen any tests. However when I'm doing things i want drops for, Like REALLY want them for, I generally Equip my TH Gear during SA/TA, Its shown good results But Its far from confirmed and I wouldn't advocate it.

is twashtar worth getting?

If you want to push your limits higher on thf, certainly. If mandau changed thf back at 75 cap, Twash can do the same.

On triplus vs rapidus. Rapidus is a worthwhile weapon to keep around, and it will outdo Triplus if acc is an issue. Acc needs happens more often than people account for and any end tier heroes of the abyssea nm gives us problems.

Honestly, there's more evidence that AF3 hands give a boost to sneak attack and trick attack procing a TH+1 than any TH gear does...

I would listen to what SE has already told us about the gear. A thf with TH6 (TH3 base +hands +dagger +atma) hits the mob, the mob now has TH6. Thf unequips dagger and hands, and uses sneak attack, procs TH+1 giving the mob TH7..... etc...

My eyeballed anecdata says it doesn't, but I have neither seen nor run any parse, let alone one long enough to be statistically significant.

TH =/= DPS. Apples and chicken egg comparison, that. Unless you're specifically farming fast mobs for a specific drop and you're trying to calculate Drops per Damage-over-Time. In which case, it depends on the mob's hp, the amount of TH gear, the item's native drop rate...
