For The Shinies! A Guide For Thief

I read in past that anything past SoA didnt have lv correction.

I think it just doesn't apply in adoulin zones

Orbs bcnm dificult are lv 119 iirc.

Thfs item in this update according to BG.

Suposelly Taeon is the new set from skirmish, it has high potential. Legs with ta2 and no stp loss can make a fair competition to iuitl depending of augments. Taeon boots with dw4 is interesting now matter how you look it, even before augments, it seems the new challenger for plunderers feet. Taeon hands with mab7, plus the augments, and this will beat nilas for aeolian edge. Head will depend on augments as its not impressive as its now.

Dagger would be more impressive if it was skill+242. I dont think it has place in thf arsenal, so maybe just a war dagger.

THF JPs: Despoil steals 2%/rank of target's TP
Conspirator increases ACC by 1/point while active

Gifts: Raised Treasure Hunter max to 13 at 100 points
Triple attack +2% at 125
13% capacity points increase at 145
crit damage +2% at 150
physical defense by 6 at 180
capacity points by 15% at 205
attack by 11 at 210

Are those "increase capacity point" cumulative or they rewrite previous one?

Would assume this makes pre JSE TH knife relivant again.

Very certain it's that.

That just raises the overall cap of TH not the gear cap if im not mistaken, adding more TH gear will accomplish nothing.

I read this as they increased the total TH cap, not the gear cap. IE TH on daggers is still as irrelevant as always.

TH8 for gear and now more time spent to TH13 Behemoth with a single wield bee stinger for savory shanks? Pretty useless gift, imo (unless 13 is someohow coded differently than the rest of the procs). But with all the love THF has been getting lately, I wouldn't complain.

Additional crit damage, Triple Attack and CP gain are most welcome.

Maxed out Despoil earlier. 5 minute timer (Bleh) and as expected is dependant on mob having TP to steal. Doesn't appear to be affected by + despoil gear.

Jumping the gun already and inputting it into spreadsheet has my set going up by 18 dps over plund +1. Very nice feet.

Without any context it's difficult to give your post any merit.

Context? Since when did people start getting upset over small details. ItemSet 333236 With the only changes of neck to Asperity Necklace and DW ring to rajas. Solo.

No one is upset, but context is important considering those same feet would likely be garbage if you were delay capped from magic/songs and other gear already. These aren't small details.

I was just messin, I apparently didn't do /s. I don't spend much time talking on the forums to be reminded sarcasm isn't as apparent through text.

They have near fed rudras ....

I'll believe it when I see tests.

Why do SE hate putting DEX on leg pieces so much? -.-

That has not been tested. SE capped the base TH in gear at 8, but that doesnt necessarily mean that your TH+ proc rate wont be affected by gearing with TH+10, since its been proven that your TH proc rate is significantly affected by mobs TH level - your TH level. I did my testing on this before Adoulin even existed FWIW.

Checking bg list of augnents, i already saw (for taeon):

- dw (max reported was 4);
- mab;
- ta (up to 2, so far);
- crit dmg (up to 3 so far).

Aside stats, att/acc (i saw already 20 att for augments).

My thoughts are: this new set seems stronger to most pieces we have currently, depending of augments. Also given how wide are those augments pool, probably the same set but with different augments will appear in diferent combos as best (ws set, tp set, acc set, etc.).

That said, lets check who were the losers this update:

- plunderers poullaines: definitively killed for solo situations (probably even with taeon without augment as dw > ta). Still debatable if in buffed situation, as it can get ta2 via augments. The dw from base will need some iterations to see what pieces can suit better. A possible combination could cap dw with just feet and back, killing together any other dw piece (suppa, green earrings, boomerang, etc);

- skadi body: it was just being alive due to dw7, but now, in theory taeon head+body will provides dw8, plus crit rate from head and ilv. Skadi goes back to mog porter praying for a salvage ilv;

- bonecrafters: sombra legging was basically destroyed by taeon tights, making rather pointless this gear that, aside being inferior, still requires 55jps to be able to use them. And the crafters lose more one way to get cash...

- pillager set: while not killed, its facing a terrible crisis. The possibility of augmenting dex + crit dmg put in serious mog porter risk most pillagers gears for stacked rudra:
head can match pillagers crit dmg, but its short 4 dex, what should be easily achieved with proper dex augment. Still, even a perfectly augmented taeon will be barely better than pillager head (unless we can find crit dmg4 or some massive dex, im assuming 9 the cap of dex provided).
Body: i think it wont be beated by taeon body, as it has impressives crit dmg5, lots of dex too, asida that the taeon body seems the least appealing taeon piece.
Hands: in serious trouble as even unagmented taeon has the same dex as pillagers, and a crit dmg3 augment will beat the pillagers 2 crit dmg. The only hope for pillager hands is how the extra trick dmg is calculated to be still relevant in a trick attack set, but for sneak, seems like pillager hands is dead.
Legs: similar to head, even a perfectly augmented taeon will be close to pillager (just if the dex augment is maxed to compete with the 4 crit dmg from pillagers). So, pillagers will still be a reasonable choice (probably the best still).
Feet: plunderer was just prefered because of dex as pillagers didnt provide any crit dmg, but obviously taeon will figure as best, and with a very large margin over the second place. Dex augment plus crit dmg3, not so soon some piece will appear to be even match to taeon in a stacked ws set.

- felistris/iuitl head: a ta head will have crit rate2 against 10 attack of felistris or 2 da and pdt/mdt from iuitl. I believe taeon ta2 will beat both headpieces;

- iuitl legs: im not aware of stp augment form taeon, and depending of your context, stp can be more or less relevant than ta, so its a close call and need to be analyzed in each situation.

- body slot is relatively safe. Taeon body is pretty lackluster unaugmented, be it for lack of interesting unique stats (fast cast) or lower str/dex total. Most likely you can keep the current body piece in your buffed tp set.

- all that just considering ilv119 content. Considering now high lv events, where acc is an issue, taeon will significantly pull ahead. If att augment reached 20, its expected you can get 20 acc. Considering 4/5 pieces of taeon have natively acc stats, its expected taeon to be the base of full accuracy set.

My final thoughts are that i dont really aggre with what SE did this update. Im fine having to swap one or 2 pieces in a set, or making old gear relevant, but this time, a perfectly augment taeon will beat most old gear. If one is aiming the best of the best set, you should consider more than 5 pieces from same set. And possible, way more than 5. And the need for augments will make the process even more troublesome. While the random pool got sloghtly better after they splited the augment pool for each type of stone, the quality of those new sets will catch more attention of others jobs, so its expected a huge demand of stones soon, as more and more jps starts entering in the augmenting process, requiring a huge amount of people farming skirmish to provide stones at a reasonable price. But expect, at oeast in first month, the process to be relatively expensive if youre trying to augment multiples pieces.

shitty update, THF need a real buff.

IDK. Considering the "Your TH level" part of that equation is capped at 8, I don't see any reason to believe that equipping TH10 would somehow override that cap.

Such a theory is also couterintuitive to the very reason they implemented the cap in the first place (to remove the need for TK).

i will try to compile here the official info about th available. Help me if i forgot some:

Max I've seen on DW for Taeon is 5. So, potentially, the feet could be a total of 9 DW and be huge. But I'd need to spreadsheet things to know for sure.

And this is SE...with the amount of localization errors or spaghetti code they've put forth in this game, why is the concept that initial TH will only be capped at 8, but for the sake of TH+ proc rate, it takes your actual equipped TH, regardless of the initial TH cap?

I'm not saying this is how it works, but I'm just saying, unless its been proven otherwise, why immediately discard it?



Why did I post this? Because bugs happen, and most of these bugs are completely debilitating bugs. So the fact that SE may have only made TH's initial proc cap at 8, and the TH+ proc rate be based on your characters TH beyond the cap, should atleast be worth consideration until proven otherwise.

Does doing a boxstep in dynamis proc treasure hunter on a mob? If I have TH8 lets say and I box step a mob i have yet to hit physically to apply my TH stat on it...and it procs and I instant kill it with Rudra's Storm....did it die with TH8 on it (assuming my weaponskill set has no treasure hunter gear etc)

Any action that puts you on the monsters hate list will apply treasure hunter, even the smallest of things.
