Rogue
Pick this if: You want to move fast, dodge instead of soaking, and land a lot of small hits.
Rogue, in short
recorded for this site, not from the exportthe exact formulas ›You move more than anyone else and you dodge instead of soaking.
What it brings3
- Lucky Seven throws stars and, by its own tooltip, deals damage based on LUK regardless of mastery. This is the Assassin’s attack.
- Double Stab hits one monster twice with a dagger, 160% a hit at max. This is the Bandit’s attack.
Dark Sight makes you invisible.
Watch out for3
- Pick your weapon before you spend a point.
- Dark Sight does not open until Disorder is at 3.
- Thieves have the lowest defence in the game and none of a magician’s MP to hide behind. Nimble Body is not optional.
Where the points go
- LUKmainLUK is your damage and your evasion, and on a claw or a dagger a point of it is worth two to three points of anything else.
- DEXsecondYour accuracy, which the formula reads at twice the weight of LUK, and the requirement on nearly every claw above level 10.
- never comes back, and what catches people is the requirement on the weapon rather than the damage: the Gear tab prices every rung.
Every Rogue skill
iHow to read a skill card
The line under each name is what the skill does at its last rank, read off the row. max N beside the name holds that against what a single point buys, which is the argument for spending the rest of them.
Anywhere on a card opens it, for every rank, its reach and what it rolls. Words like rank, mastery or booster are underlined wherever they are used and carry their own explanation.
61points earned, level 10–30110ranks the 6 skills hold49ranks you cannot afford
You cannot max everything, and nothing in the game says so. For an order to spend them in, take one somebody has played.
Rogue builds ›iHow the bill is worked out
One point at the advancement and three a level, until level 30 stops this pool filling. The ranks are every rank the 6 skills hold between them, which is why the two numbers are not the same one counted twice.
Choosing what to leave out is the whole of building this class. The builds page is where somebody else's choice is written down, with the levels they made it at.
Damage2iWhat "Damage" groups together
The tooltip states a damage or healing number. Mostly these are what you press to kill things; one or two are buffs that add damage rather than deal it, which is why the heading says damage and not attacks.

Becoming a Rogue
- 1
Reach level 10.
There is no quest to accept and nothing to prepare. Every branch opens at the same level, and until you get there the advisor has nothing to say to you.
The level is not a column on anything - it is in the game's own words. Rain's fifth Maple Island quiz says warriors, thieves, bowmen and magicians "all need to be at least level 10 to advance".
- 2
Go to Kerning City and talk to Dark Lord.
They stand in Thieves' Hideout, a short walk from Kerning City itself. Say yes when they ask, and you are a Rogue.
Talk to Dark LordThe advancement is not a quest in this export, so there is no quest page for it. What the export does carry is where this NPC stands, which is the map beside this step, and the level 30 chain the same person runs later, on the 2nd job pages.
You have twenty levels as a Rogue before the next decision. The first tab is what to do with them: the points, the order and every skill they buy.

What to wear
the full item browser ›The weapon ladderiHow the ladder was built
Every weapon the class can hold, with everything that is not an upgrade removed: a rung is a weapon that beats anything you could already be carrying at its level, so “gain” is what it adds over the rung above it. Sidegrades and later weaker weapons are left out and the item browser still has them. The ladder starts from level 1 on purpose - the rungs below your level are the ones you arrived holding.

Best armour for LUK, by slotiHow these were picked
The highest LUK in each slot a Thief can wear, then attack, then defence.
Nothing is left out for being low level, because armour does not stop being wearable: the best piece in several of these slots wants half the level of the worst, and the level on each row is when you can put it on.
Where the game ships one piece as a male and a female version, both are named and the numbers are the same either way.
