HOW TO PLAY 

Picking Target

Choosing the right target depends on your job level and the level of the NPC. Don’t try stealing from high level NPCs when your job level is too low to avoid instant failure. But don’t worry, you can go after bigger targets as your job level goes up.  

The main skill of Thief is Quick Hands, this allows players to steal items from NPCs besides Nimbus Coupon and Recovery Items or even Gold Equipment.  

Reminder: Thief can only scout up to 10 times and use Quick Hands 5 times, this counts all success and failure. 

Get ready to use "Scout" on an NPC

Thievery (Stealing)

Two areas will appear between NPC, you’ll see a green and red area. A Thief has to be careful not to step in the red area in order to prevent NPC from noticing. The failure percentage will increase if a Thief steps onto the red zone, so be careful. Once you are on the green area, use the Quick Hands skill to steal the NPC’s items. 

Use "Quick Hands" to try stealing from the NPC

While you are using the Quick Hands ability, a ruler bar will be displayed on the screen of the Thief. This bar will show the thieving progress of whether it be successful or a failure.  

While in the green zone, the Thief must pay attention to the warning sign displayed above the target's head. If the symbol turns yellow, the target will change direction and the Thief will be at risk of being detected. Additionally, timing is crucial for success. If the Thief takes too long and exceeds the time limit, they will fail the task.

Avoid getting caught by taking note of the yellow sign above the NPC

Here’s another tip when you are trying to steal, you need to pay attention to the timer below the bar, if you take too long your attempt will also fail. 

Picking Your Rewards

When Thieves successfully steal items from an NPC, they will need Vitality to select the items they want to take. The higher the quality of items, the more vitality it will consume.
