Thief Job Overview

A versatile class

The thief job boasts remarkable agility, greatly benefiting from the game’s stats mechanics. This agility enables thieves to often strike first in battle while also providing protection for the party with their formidable defense.

Decent MP growth

Unlike warriors or martial artists, thieves can learn spells, which means they also benefit from MP growth. Although their spells aren’t particularly strong, this becomes a big advantage when switching classes. If you want a versatile character who can use both physical attacks and spells, switching to the thief class is a great option.

Steal ability is great for hunting items

Just by having a thief in the party, you’ll have a chance to obtain extra items after each battle. This ability is highly useful when farming seeds, which can instantly enhance a character’s stat.

Take advantage of the Thief’s skills

Despite not having useful offensive spells, thieves excel at finding treasure in the field. With “Nose for Treasure” and “Snoop,” they can collect all treasures in a specific area.

Best Personality for Thief Job

Vamp (Female Only)

A classic, balanced personality in Dragon Quest III. Thieves benefits from Vamp’s agility growth, which can also provide high defense due to the game’s mechanic (50% agility = defense). Both attack and defense grow steadily without any negative adjustments, making it an ideal personality for the thief job.

Stat Modifiers

This personality is unique in that it has no negative modifiers. Agility, important for a thief, increases well, and it also enhances intelligence, useful for class changes.

Strength Agility Vitality Intelligence Luck
+10% +20% +5% +15% +20%

Lone Wolf

For male thieves aiming for balanced growth, “Lone Wolf” is highly recommended. With all attributes except luck increasing, it provides a well-rounded growth path. Especially good for boosting vitality, resulting in a thief with a decent HP.

Stat Modifiers

This personality offers high vitality and a well-balanced growth curve for all attributes except luck. While it lacks strength modifiers, increased vitality can make up for it by allowing the user to withstand attacks and take more turns.

Strength Agility Vitality Intelligence Luck
±0% +10% +20% +10% -30%

Tough Cookie

A personality known for physical strength and high vitality. While thieves benefit from agility, this personality imposes a slight agility penalty, but it’s tolerable. High vitality allows thieves to be exceptionally durable. This is a smart choice if you want to avoid being defeated by tough enemies.

Stat Modifiers

Vitality receives a significant boost, and the agility penalty is capped at 10%. While this penalty might seem disadvantageous for a thief, the +40% increase in vitality can offer ample compensation.

Strength Agility Vitality Intelligence Luck
+15% -10% +40% -20% -30%
