THF Question

[eva00r]

Hey, currently I'm leveling my THF and this job will hit 75 soon. THF is clearly not my main, for TH and just some damage. The problem is, I have only 10 available slots for THF and I'll merit dagger only to 4/8. Well, I've got BLU and NIN so THF can use some of my equipments as well. Can you help me fill in these slot of gears?

This is what I have (and THF can wear)
Homam full set, Enkidu head/hands/legs, Hecatomb hands, Suppa, Ethereal, Rajas, Ungur Boomerang, Cuchulain's Mantle, etc.

10 slots for THF, I prefer NOT to use much gil since THF isn't really my main job.
1 - Thief Knife (TH3)
2 - AFv2 Gloves (TH4)
3 - AFv1 Boots for Flee
4 - Main slot knife ??
5 - Dragon Harness for WS ??
6 - 10 ??

Please help

I don't understand the question... is this an inventory space concern?

If so, don't let inventory gimp you. If you don't feel like paying for a mule, send things to yourself that you don't use every day and just keep hitting "Return to Sender" everytime you need to collect stuff out of your Inbox.

Also, the sad truth is most of the time no one cares about your damage and only cares about your shiney knife and gloves so don't let it stress you out too much.

Rappareeeeeeee for sure.
Throw in trotters / skadi feet as well.
Sirro/blau/Xknife/persi harpe/mandau(pick any 1)
Probably having an xbow/bolts combo wouldn't hurt.
Rog. Armlets +1 probably my final pick

[Unlikelyhero]

Like Karshe said, the only 2 items you really need are TH Knife and Armlets.

[Kaludneisucks]

go get you a raparee, its a great way to kill a day...

[Neb]

If you plan on soloing at all you will need 4 slots for Xbow 2 at the very least. Xbow and Bloody Bolts for sure and you may want Blind, Acid and Sleep as well. Bloody bolts will save your life. For dagger get a Sirro if you dont want to spend money plus its a bad ass dagger regardless. You seem pretty set for gear I wouldnt really worry there since as you stated this is not your main job.

[tonystigma]

The rapparee harness is a waste of a gearslot if you already have a perfectly good SH.

Utsusemi if you ain't eating sushi.

main
If you dont want to buy a peice of gear or invest the days it can take to get sirroco go do an ods run and get a heartsnatcher lol if you're not worried terribly about having the best gear this works well enough.

sub
Thief's knife at your request

ranged
Ungurs...if you wanna solo/farm eva is gonna be your friend i find the 7 eva from ungurs more useful than the attack of bomb core. I also like not spending money to pull mobs farming.

ammo
not applicable if you use ungurs otherwise bomb core

head
Ohat/Walmart turban, you have thess for your other jobs ohat for eva/acc for soloing / farming.

neck
Chiv Chain/pcharm another peice you should have for your other jobs

ear
suppanomimi again another peice you should have for other jobs

ear
velocity earring for eva or coral/merman for dmg

body
Scorpion harness..this will help due to the acc and atk and its better for farming/soloing than raparee as you get hit less and the less you get hit the less you need bolts / crossbows...

arms

Assasin's arms

ring
insert random acc ring you have here jaeger, blood, verner, snipers, rajas, toreadors use what you have for other jobs to save space since you dont seem too serious about using thief endgame

ring
same as first ring

back
amemet mantle +1 another peice you should already have for another job

waist
potent belt again another peice you should already have for anothe job

legs
use homam legs since you have em for haste and whatnot otherwise you can always wear enkidu's if you think stripper pants look better.

feet
enkidus feet gogo haste + i mean this is dusk feet + dragon feet not a bad peice of gear and you already have it.

Hopefully this helps you better use your space. Tbh I'd like to say I hope you learn to enjoy playing thief endgame and want to get more gear for it. Its my first and favorite job ^^.

Homam feet ?
No need for enkidu's subligar. Swift belt ? Wouldn't warwolf be better then potent?
If acc is an issue wouldn't homam body be better then scorp ? And scorp doesn't add atk.

thf who doesn't eat sushi is hardly a thf. unless you're meat spammin at birds

[Shinryuu]

Why the fuck would you level THF with limited space? Either go all-out TH-whore gimpo or do it right. That's my intuitive answer.

However, if you're TH-whoring, you'll want to do as best as you can, I guess, and I can understand that. Let's see, situations where that happens is something like... Dynamis?

This is what I have (and THF can wear)
Homam full set, Enkidu head/hands/legs, Hecatomb hands, Suppa, Ethereal, Rajas, Ungur Boomerang, Cuchulain's Mantle, etc.

Your TP set:
Good dagger (X's, Blau, Perseus). Sirocco offhand when /NIN I guess (easy to get, good offhand). If lucky, Azoth/X's, Azoth/Blau, X's, Blau but you'll need funds and luck. Thief's knife. (3)
Bomblet (4)
Turban - PCC - Suppa - Brutal (4)
Homam/Rapparee - Homam - Rajas - Ulthalam's/Blood/Sniper(+1)/Toreador (5, maybe 6 depending on ring though I can't believe you don't have a good 2nd ring on BLU)
Cuchulain's - Swift - Homam - Homam (still 5 or 6)

WS set is going to be more difficult, I'm afraid. Mix and match appropriate Enkidu slots, Cuchulain's definitely... and then fill the 10. Recommendations: Dragon harness or better, AF+1 hands definitely, and then it's your choice. I assume, by the way, you have a warwolf belt and an optical hat, those aren't bad picks.

In short: Yes, 3 weapons, Thief's knife is horrible and weapon's gonna do more for you than a lot of stuff. Optimize TP set, and then use your leftover slots to maximize WS. Drop the idea you can use evasion, EVA builds need to be full-blown for them to be any effective. Drop the idea of bolts: too many slots.

thf who doesn't eat sushi is hardly a thf. unless you're meat spammin at birds

Wat?

Meat/Pizza please. Sushi solo on harder stuff.

[lilfoo]

first priority would be to get TH4. then once you have that max feint. You have a decent set up as is. You wont get zomg numbers but, to get those you need to go all out. If you hit and they are not 0's it is all good. P.S. stay away from sushi as much as possible, nothing hurts your DMG as not eating meat (pizza is fine).

edit: For daggers i use x2 Behe +1 cause blau is no where near worth the cost of a marginal upgrade and X's is a whore

[Staren]

Homam feet ?
No need for enkidu's subligar. Swift belt ? Wouldn't warwolf be better then potent?
If acc is an issue wouldn't homam body be better then scorp ? And scorp doesn't add atk.

I was under the impression they wanted to do this on a budget lols. Scorp was just for eva, and they said only 4 merits on dagger they might be fine with a swift belt instead of a potent. Yeah no need for enkidu's with homam legs. I was making a joke lols sorry.

[mdkuser]

The rapparee harness is a waste of a gearslot if you already have a perfectly good SH.

just fyi, rapparee harness is better than SH if your accuracy is above 85% ( don't have to use sushi..) and better than homam/skadi body if your acc is better than 91%.

Edit: and now with pizzas there is even less reason to melee in SHs/ homam/skadi.

[Shinryuu]

You don't even need >91% hitrate for rapparee to be better than SH or homam, it depends not only on hitrate, but also on the amount of haste you're getting. At 98% haste (impossible, but an illustrating 'what if'), 1% haste would be better than 99 ACC (+49.5% hitrate) if your hitrate is as low as 50% (not taking into account accuracy capping at 95%).

It's unlazy time. Do the haste vs. hitrate calculation depending on your situation. You'll discover there's a standard amount of situations where rapparee is better depending on buffs and mobs, and a decent chunk of situations where homam wins.

[mdkuser]

I did the computation and rapparee wins after 91% only , and I included the +1% tripple attack. Thats assuming haste + march, and 21% haste gear( with rapparee). If you ignore the tripple attack, then rapparee is better for 88+% accuracy.

[Shinryuu]

No second march?
