Tips
Try not to die - it isn't a good thing. You lose precious experience, (Usually about 5%-10%) and it can be anywhere from a few minutes work to a few hours work to make it up, depending on your level.
Figure out what second job you want to be beforehand so you can prepare for the skill requirments for that certain job.
Don't let anybody's talk get to you. If they are doing that they want to fight so just ignore it and keep training. It's best not to give them what they want.
If you're patient, then find a nice patch of land where no monsters can get you and heal instead of using potions - you save money. You can go do something else.
If you get KSed (Kills Stolen from you) don't yell and/or be mean. That only promotes bad behavior and makes them mad at you, and then they'll just keep KSing you till you leave. They might even follow you. Just ask politely if they continue then just move somewhere else. There's nothing you can do to help solve the problem.
Choosing your Second Job Advancement
When you reach level 30, you should go back to where you first got your job of Thief and talk to the Dark Lord. When you talk to him, he will give you a letter to take to his instructor.
The instructor is two maps east of Kerning City; Talk to him. Buy 50 or 60 orange potions before leaving because once you're in, you can't get out. He'll take you to the advancement area. All I can say after this is, go after the monsters. Get 30 dark marbles, return to thief instructor and obtain the proof. Now, go back to The Dark Lord (Long lecture comes) Now here's the hard part. You're going to have to choose between a Bandit or Assassin. If you already decided before, go ahead with the class you want, but if you haven't, well, keep reading.
The Assassin
Pros: Is ranged and can shoot very far. Is very fast when it comes to killing monsters. Cons: Can not attack up close. Damage varies a lot, it can range to very low to very high.
Note from a player: To counter the close range attacks, buy a dagger, just in case.
The Bandit
Pros: Can attack up close, can use savage blow which can attack up to 6 times in a row in the same second. Very high damage Cons: Is not ranged, can not attack as fast as an assassin.
Note from a player: Buy a claw just in case.
So choose carefully, next we will show what skills each of these thieves have.
The Assassin
The Assassin is the most popular thief second job advancement. The Assassin is ranged and throw stars very fast. The following is a list of skills an Assassin can use.
Claw Mastery: Increases the mastery of throwing stars and accuracy, along with the maximum number of throwing stars to recharge. It only applies when the character is throwing stars.
Note from a player: Max this skill, it's for your own good!
Critical Throw : Enables the character to make a critical attack with throwing stars on a certain success rate.
Endure: Additional recovery for both HP and MP even while hanging still on a rope or a ladder. The higher the level, the faster the recovery time, along with recovering additional amounts of both MP and HP.
Claw Booster : Use HP and MP to temporarily boost up the attacking speed of the claw. It only applies when the character is equipped with a claw throwing stars.
Haste: Temporarily improves the speed and jumping ability of every member of the party. (A must max one)
Drain: Absorbs some of the damage dished out to the enemy as HP. The most one can absorb at once is the character's MaxHP / 2, and can't absorb more than the MaxHP of the enemy.
Every Assassin needs to spend SP in the right way, therefore, we have come up with the best possible assassin SP spending guide.

Aerial Shot: Assassins can shoot while in mid air! To do this, simply jump and attack!

Jump over the monster and shoot: Simply jump over the monster when you are close by and just back shot them before they touch you!

Here is a list of techniques that most bandits love to use!
Savage blow is a good move: (Good for getting attention) so use it to show off. It does good damage too, so put it to at least level 1 ASAP.
Haste is your friend: Always use haste, as it keeps those ranged people from KSing you.
Don't use Savage blow on weak things: Saveage blow is an MP drainer, try to conserve your cash.
Be fast: When you are a low level, many ranged people will KS you, use strategy and speed to level up.
