The '''Thief''' (盗賊, ''Touzoku'') is a class in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. True to the vocation's name, it focuses on acts of [[Thievery]] to half-inch a monster's possessions.

==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Thieves have high agility and deftness, but are below average in other attributes. 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 this pilfering, a thief contributes to the party by utilizing their stealth to lower encounters with enemies with [[Padfoot]], exploration skills such as [[Eye for Distance]] that allow the player to locate villages and nearby towns, and [[Nose for Treasure]] to see how many treasure chests remain on a dungeon's floor.

Thieves were added in the 16-bit remake and may steal from a random enemy vanquished in an encounter, with the success probability being calculated thus: '''(Level/16 + 1) x item drop rate''' for the {{Super Famicom}} and [[Cell phone|Android/iOS]] version. In the {{Game Boy Color}} version, the formula is '''(level/8 + 1) x item drop rate''', and will only work for the final enemy defeated. Unlike later games in the series the thieves of ''III'' do not have their success rate limited to 1/8th and can effectively reach 100% for most items with a {{Party 3}} of pilferers.
 
Thieves are depicted as cat burglars wearing black body suits with differing accessories, but both wear yellow vests and have bleached white hair. The female thief is based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyaru Japanese Gal culture], hence her deep tan, lipstick, and oversized jewelry.
 
Due to a character's natural defence being based off of half of the agility stat in the {{NES}}, {{SFC}}, and {{GBC}} versions of {{III}}, thieves are significantly more durable than in other titles. Furthermore they can equip the newly added {{Whip}}s and {{Boomerang}}s that allow them to aid in crowd control despite their moderate strength.

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.
==={{DQ3HD}}===
Due to {{Agility}} no longer factoring into a character's {{Defence}} stat, Thieves are as frail as they typically are in other titles.


==''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''==
====Stats====
The thief is one of the prerequisites for the [[Ranger]] vocation (along with [[Monster Master]] and [[Merchant]]). 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.
Calculated using the [[everyman]] personality.

The thief is one of the prerequisites for the [[Ranger]] vocation (along with [[Monster Master]] and [[Merchant]]).
 
====Vocation trait====
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 6}} 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 basic vocations available at {{Alltrades Abbey 7}}. It is one of the prerequisites for both the [[Pirate]] (along with [[Sailor]]) and the [[Monster Masher]] vocation (along with [[Shepherd]]). In the {{3DS}} remake thieves are depicted as cat burglars once more, incorporating bandanas and goggles into the familiar black and yellow outfits.
The thief is one of the basic vocations available at [[Alltrades Abbey (Dragon Quest VII)|Alltrades Abbey]]. It is one of the prerequisites for both the [[Pirate]] (along with [[Sailor]]) and the [[Monster Masher]] vocation (along with [[Shepherd]]). The '''MOD / (Drop Rate * 4)''' equation for both version of ''VII'' is slightly different from the previous [[Heartbeat]] title, but functions similarly and also has the enforced limit of a 1/8th success rate when the party consists of thieves.

===Usefulness===
====Usefulness====
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.

However, the default stealing rate is quite low. To this end, the character must have a high rank in the vocation to steal reliably.
 
Regarding vocation progression, the Thief can combine a mastered [[Shepherd]] class to become a [[Monster Masher]]. They will learn all sorts of breath skills and have a chance at taming {{MFamilies}}s for the [[Monster Meadows]]. The Thief can also combine a mastered [[Sailor]] class to become a [[Pirate]]. The [[Pirate]] learns sea based attacks which is useful as most {{MFamilies}}s, save the aquatic ones, don't have resistance to these skills. Plus they are cost effective.
 
==={{DQ9}}===
The Thief vocation is available at the start of the game and has the unique skillset "Acquisitiveness". As all the vocation designs in {{IX}} are based on real world cultures, thieves have eschewed the burglar outfits for clothing based on Arabian bandits. Thieves can also use skill points to learn {{Sword}}, {{Knife}}, [[Claw]], and [[List of fisticuffs skills in Dragon Quest IX|Fisticuffs]] skills. Their [[Coup de Grâce]] is "[[Itemized Kill]]" which guarantees treasure dropped after the battle. Thieves still possess their unique ability to steal items, but through the newly added skill "Half-Inch".

Thieves are the second fastest vocation in the game, trailing behind the [[Martial Artist]]. They also have the second highest {{Deftness}} in the game, which allows them to not only steal items at a higher success rate, but land more [[Critical Hit]]s as the feature now scales off of {{Deftness}}.  


==''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''==
Thieves have moderate health, strength and resistances making them decent combat-wise. Their niche abilities, such as [[Treasure Eye Land]], and their fantastic {{Agility}} and {{Deftness}} prove useful for grinding and farming, even far into the post-game.
