Thief leveling 1–60
AP and weapons by level, which citizenship to pick, the accuracy you need for each map, the level 35 to 50 slog, and where to train from 1 to 60.
Every number and name on this page is read live from the game data.
Move maps on two tests: can you hit it, and how many casts does it take? Aim for 2 to 3 casts on average, or 3 to 4 from the late 40s. If it takes more than that, a denser or easier map usually wins. /tools/fight shows estimated casts to kill, and /tools/accuracy shows your hit rate.
This route is written for Lucky Seven (Assassins and Sindits). Dagger Bandits use the same maps with the AP and skills in Thief build, and need to walk to every mob. The exception is the Stirge spots. Stirges fly and a dagger has short reach, so try a few kills before you commit, and use or if you cannot reach them. The accuracy table below runs at most 1 point high for a dagger plan.
Spot notes predate the 30 October spawn change, and Nexon has not listed which maps changed. Spawn counts below are spawn points in the client, not mobs alive at once. If a map feels empty or full, change channel or map.

Lower speed numbers are faster. sells nothing above Meba, so plan your level 30 claw before you get there: Weaponcrafting 6 makes , and other players sell the rest.
Meba is better than it looks. It is the only speed 3 claw. By our estimate only matches it, or gains about 3% with Booster. gains about 3%, or 6% with Booster. Meba costs 5 fewer DEX. Do not overpay at 30.
Short of mesos? Skip Steel Igor and go Steel Titans to Meba at 25. You give up 4 W.ATK for five levels and keep 14,100 mesos.
