I read Buggaton's gear guide, but I want to get direct answers. So, I thought I'd ask.
I know this has been asked before, but please try to be nice! I'm trying to be a good thief.

My main questions are regarding some pieces of gear. First, right now my thief is only 40 with the intent of being 75 as soon as possible. I am posting my thoughts and if they are incorrect I'd like some advice. I keep reading about people separating SA and TA, but at 40 I don't see that as being practical. Most parties will require your SATA(WS).
Head piece. I have Emp and Voyager. I would think to TP in Emp (occasional SATA without WS and pulling), and SATAWS in Sallet. Is this acceptable?
Feet. When is the time to stop using Bounding?
Neck. TP in PCC and WS in Spike (until DE, then use PCC full time).
Rings and earrings are the main thing. I would full time Drone and Genin. Is it worth it to swap them out? If so, for what and when? Rings I would TP in Acc+ rings and SATAWS in Dex+3 rings. I am wondering if keeping the Dex rings or swapping for STR for WS only would be better or not. ie SATA in Dex, but SATAWS in Str.
Waist piece. What would be better; a swordbelt+1 or an augmented swordbelt with 10atk and 2str? Should I switch for the RK belt HQ for SATA/WS?
Last is for weapons. I have 2 Fed Kukris, but was wondering if the 2dex/agi would be worth swapping one of them out.
Lastly, are 2 corsairs @ 50 kosher, and for how long would they last?

Sorry for all these questions I know have been answered, but all the threads and walls o' text made my brain hurt.
Thank you.

/sigh... where to start.


head: why would you TP in emp and SATAWS in sallet? 4 STR is more beneficial than 3 Agi when TPing.

Earrings: TP in attack, or Acc only. Agi offers no benefit at all for TPing. for SATA, the AGI will most likely be better.

Rings: DEX only, unless you have a relic.

and people only seperate SA and TA at 60+ when you get the job trait assassin, it's really not worth doing before then.

also, this shit is common sense if you've read the stickies.

(add another toreadors ring)


WS this is what i use

Edit: this is just tog ive you an example of a tp/ws setup on thf

[Konda]

wow, no ungur or xbow?

[Daggermaster]

I had a ziska's a long time ago, but when i got 35 morri body, i sold it. When i pull i use that lvl 15 chakram for pulling.
Edit: I dont ever use thf for farming, im usually on blm or rdm for that kind of stuff.

[Konda]

get the trusty thugg's back, lol


there's no way in hell I'm paying 1.2mil for ziskas (kicking myself for not buying it when it was 300k, and it's gone up in price ever since) so I'm getting a friend to sign me a leo xbow+1 whicch is the fastest xbow thf can use. Racc is a dime a dozen in equipment slots, so the Racc from ziska's likely wont be missed. Especially since I only really use xbow when using sushi or agains fairly easy targets (Nyzul etc)

[Daggermaster]

eh, i dont really have room for it with blm+rdm+war and my soon upcoming cor(once i get a smbburn for it to go 13>22). I just dont use thf for that kind of stuff anymore as much fun as it was...salvage/dynamis/kings is all my thf really sees so i dont see the point :<

Not a single one of those questions isn't answered in the guide. Rather than asking other people to do the work for you just take some time out to read the guide a little more carefully. It says specifically when a piece is for TA/SA/WS/TP. I'd give a beefier reply but i'm off out to drink wine with girls.

I'd venture that the majority of people reading this don't even understand the bolded word. :-D
