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 have high agility and deftness, but are below average in other attributes.

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. | Thieves may steal from the last enemy vanquished in an encounter, with the success probability being calculated thus: '''{(LVL x item drop rate)/8}'''.

The Thief vocation is available at the start of the game and has the unique skillset "Acquisitivess". 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-Grace]] is "Itemized Kill," which guarantees treasure dropped after the battle. | The Thief vocation is available at the start of the game and has the unique skillset "Acquisitivess".

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 they now scale off of Deftness. | |||
However, Thieves are thoroughly lacking in other stats, such as MP and Resilience, and aren't great combat-wise. [[Ranger]]s are commonly agreed to be an upgrade from the Thief, due to their higher Deftness, MP and magic selection and abilities. Despite this, 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. | |||
