Maplestory Rogue Guide

Note: This guide will show you how to make a normal claw or dagger thief. And it only takes you to lvl 30.

Because rogues must choose what weapon they will use from the very beginning, its good to know the difference.

The difference between claw and dagger thieves is that claw thieves are ranged attackers while dagger thieves are close range attackers.

At kerning pq levels, claw thieves are preferred because they have more accuracy and can hit more of the monsters. Also another type of dagger thief is the Str dagger thief. Their minimum damage is higher than normal dagger thieves but their maximum damage is lower.

When you make your new thief, you should roll his stats so they look something like this:

STR: 4-5

DEX: X

INT: 4-5

LUK: X

Try to get a 4 in at least str or int. Dex and luk can be whatever because you will mold them into a build.

Every time you level, you will get 5 AP points to put into either str, dex, int or luk. For thieves, you only care about dex and luk. Dex needs to stay 2x your level so that you can wear the appropriate gear. Every left over point goes into luk (this determines your attack). Instead, if you want, you can add everything into dex for 2 levels and then everything into luk for 3 levels.

Whatever you choose, you dex/luk should look like this:

LV10: 25 DEX, 37 LUK

LV15: 30 DEX, 57 LUK

LV20: 40 DEX, 72 LUK

LV25: 50 DEX, 87 LUK

LV30: 60 DEX, 102 LUK

For dagger thieves your AP build should look something like this:

LV10: 10 STR, 25 DEX, 31 LUK

LV15: 10 STR, 30 DEX, 51 LUK

LV20: 10 STR, 40 DEX, 66 LUK

LV25: 15 STR, 50 DEX, 76 LUK

LV30: 20 STR, 60 DEX, 86 LUK

After creating your character, you will land on Maple island. Get to level 10 by killing the myriad number of snails and mushrooms. Once you reach level 10, take the boat to Victoria Island. Now take the cab to Kerning City and talk to the thief trainer to become a Rogue!

Now moving on to the SP builds.

For claw thieves your build should be as follows:

+1 Lucky Seven (1)

+3 Nimble Body (3)

+8 Keen Eyes (8)

+9 Lucky Seven (10)

-Save your SP for 3 levels-

+10 Lucky Seven (20 MAX)

+3 Disorder (3)

+3 Dark Sight (3)

+17 Nimble Body (20 MAX)

+7 Dark Sight (10)

I choose dark sight over disorder because it’s use more often and can save your life sometimes.

For dagger thieves your build should be as follows:

+20 Nimble Body (20 MAX)

+10 Double Stab (10)

-Save up 3 levels-

+10 Double Stab (20 MAX)

+3 Disorder (3)

+3 Dark Sight (3)

+15 Dark Sight (18)

Now that you are level 30, it’s time for the job advancement. Go talk to the trainer in Kerning City. He will give you a task to prove yourself. Go to the Construction Site North of Kerning and find the Thief Instructor. He will transport you to a map where you have to kill the monsters to get the marbles. Once you get 30 of them, go back to the thief trainer in Kerning City. Now choose between Bandit or Assassin.

Boomer Parties In-Depth (Credits to sharkbait474):

“Boomer parties work like this. You have a Poison Mister (A F/P

Mage, of course) to Mist all of the Boomers in your spot/map. The

EXP is much faster if other people kill properly and if you are

partied with the F/P. The Boomers will multiply upon reaching 1 HP,

and there will be a ton of them by the time others start killing.

Depending on your level, in a 2 person party with you and the F/P,

you leech about 15 – 20+ experience per Boomer including party EXP,

and they die FAST, about 10+ per second. This EXP is great even at

higher levels.”
