Dragon Warrior III/Player classes: Difference between revisions

The Thief class is a new class that was introduced in the Super Famicom remake of ''Dragon Quest III''.  Thieves have high agility, and have the ability to steal after battle (essentially a second chance at getting a dropped item, but with a chance that increases by level). Their few spells are all very helpful, from ''Smell'', which tells you how many treasures are left in the area, to ''TipToe'', which lowers your random encounter rate. They are also the only character class that can use some of the powerful whips in the game, which attack not only a single monster, but an entire enemy group. Despite what one would expect a Thief class, the Thieves ''Dragon Quest III'' are actually rather durable against physical attack due to the game using Agility to determine defense, though they have no particular defense against non-stats magic due to their relatively low Stamina/Max HP growth. Their increased chance of obtaining item drops is significant, and a moderate level thief can farm stats increasing seeds at a decent rate. Thieves also have a relatively fast experience growth rate, with only Dealers and (just barely) Jesters beating them to level 20, and only Dealers beating them to level 99.
