It was not available in the original [[Nintendo Entertainment System|Famicom]] version of ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'', being added later to the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]] version of the game as a bonus class and appearing in all subsequent remakes of the game. | ||

Thieves have high agility and | Thieves have high agility and balanced physical stats with decent attack and defensive power making them nimble melee combatants. While not as strong as a Warrior or Martial Artist, they are able to hold their own in physical combat and specialize in using both [[whip]]s and [[boomerang]]s to attack several enemies in battle. Their armor selection is mostly limited to lightweight vests and clothing, but they do have access to some pieces of equipment which boost their evasiveness. | ||
What makes them vital to a party is their ability to [[Thievery|steal items]] from the last monster defeated at the end of a fight. Outside of dungeons and caves they possess abilities such as [[Eye for Distance]] that allow the player to locate villages and nearby towns. | |||

Thieves may steal from the last enemy vanquished in an encounter, with the success probability being calculated thus: '''{(LVL x item drop rate)/8}'''. Unlike later games in the series ''III's'' thieves do not have their success rate limited to 1/8th and can effectively reach 100% for most items with a party of pilferers. | |||
== | ==''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''== | ||
The calculation for post-battle stealing is '''Drop rate x (Rank+1) x 0.25''', doubling the base rate at Rank 8. This means a party of thieves will have an 8 times higher chance to nab an item. Note that the chance to steal any item has a hard limit of 12.5% ({{fraction|1|8}}) regardless of vocation rank. | The thief is one of the prerequisites for the [[Ranger]] vocation (along with [[Monster Master]] and [[Merchant]]).

The Thief's best skill is Nose for Treasure which allows treasure hunters to know how much treasure is left on a particular floor. As for hybrid skills, Thief Hit, the hybrid skill of a [[Warrior]] and a Thief, is probably one of the useful hybrid skills to learn as it has the chance of taking one item from a monster regardless of whether or not it is defeated. However, the default stealing rate is quite low. To this end, the character must have a high rank in the vocation to steal reliably. | The Thief's best skill is Nose for Treasure which allows treasure hunters to know how much treasure is left on a particular floor.
