best gear setup for thief and non af setup for it?

[Rewdawg]

yes was wondering what everyone thinks is the best gear setup for thief with af and what the best setup is for non af thief? in other words the best setup with af gear and setup for no af that i could easily buy from ah. thanks.

There's not really much great gear that's buyable. Mostly some Evasion pieces like Antares Harness, Scouter's Rope, Slither Gloves, etc.

THFs gear for various situations. Do you mean best gear for Evasion? Or for dealing damage? Or a mixed solo/survival set? WS set? Which WS?

In general, good non-AF items to DD in are Aurore gear, Dusk gear, Swift Belt, Rapparee Harness, Tiercel Necklace, Bravo's Subligar (or the new ones, whatever they are called), Walahra Turban. Try to maximize Haste and Accuracy when you can. Once you cap your skills, you'll find Accuracy to be less needed, so you'll want gear with Critical Hit Rate and Double/Triple Attack, possibly Store TP.

i would be talking about soloing as well as damage dealing setup

[Arcon]

These are the ones I use most often:
General DD/tank
General SA
General WS

I use the same ones for soloing, occasionally swapping to evasion gear, depending on what I'm soloing.

At first glance I wondered why you were stacking 32% haste, until I noticed that that's not Twilight belt. I can't find any info about how much Dual wield that gives. Any idea?

Wiki says 5%, I've always geared under that assumption.

If you dont have the money for +1 items. Get the normal ones that works.

A few tips i can give you. Dont be scared of AF3 +1 by thief the NMs for Head, legs are very easy. You can quest the items for Hands and body.

If you have 40 + stones. You can quest all your THF AF3 seals. Just take it easy and keep working slowly at least 90 mins of seal quest per day, in 2 weeks you will be surprised for almost finish your sets.

Try get a abbysea LS for get the good thief atmas. I did told you already good atmas and i did analisis for you the two best Deal damaging atma combos

Try get as fast posible triplus dagger and rapidus sax. Both are easy to get. For now blau/rapidus can work until you can get the triplus and twlight knife

A quick note i want add. If you see in a few weeks you cant get help for Triplus dagger, rapidus, or your progress for gain shinryu access is slow.

Just start work in two attack kila + 2. You never will be weak with two this babies. a combo kila +2 / kila +2. Can keep up with all Dagger combos, if you get at least 1 fire day per day. In 2 weeks you can finish 1 ^^

Kila + 2

DMG 43 Delay 190
STR + 9 attack + 20

Body seals are a fairly moderate to easy solo as well. I did shaula for mine.

Hand seals are also soloable via that Bluffalo NM in [A] Uleguerand Range. Although, just starting out, he may be frustrating because he has lots of HP and defense. Definitely doable though. Ususlly though, people will see you soloing it and ask if they can help kill it if they are waiting. Speeds things up nicely (just don't sit there and make them wait and most groups will be quite helpful)

Ideally you'd wanna grab a WHM and a BLM to low man them. Less risk if you are new to tanking/soloing and more yellow procs.

I fail to see how Bullwhip is more 'ideal' than twilight belt.

Yeah twlight belt is better. But i wanted give another option, to the new guy. Bullwhip can be obtaned very easy, the ovni can be low manned and the point is have 7% haste But i will update now the belt ^^

I agree with you Nebo. the gargole NM can be soloed he is easy and the buffalo can be solo/duo too. I hope the OP read all our replies
