wat lv r u?

b4 u chose any job u should read a jobbing guide.

theives kill traders and hunters to gain exp
hunters kill NPC and player theif for exp.
trader sell goods for exp.

since u didnt list trader as an option. i would chsoe hunter at lower lvs coz u can protect ur lower lv friends by killing the NPC theives.

thieving should start after lv 50+

^ +1 to what devilti wrote.

Just to add some more, pros of being a hunter include second easiest to level up job xp (because of the update), helping your trader friends, you can go job anytime when your team is online. Pros for thieving include it being one of the most fun and thrilling jobs of the 3, your equips are hidden (and to an extent your char level), thief suits look better

, you get your own job room (thieves den) where thieves hang out xD.

theives make trader lose money by kill em and their transports. then u can carry the goods transports drop to sell them. this is how theives make money.

how much u get paid depends on how much the trader pays u.
they dont earn much to begin with by trading.

i did a few low lv trade runs every now and then and i ended up making a little over 500k each week. Its better then what i got as a thief. Hunters get paid faster and more in my opinion

u made 500k at low lvs?
wow. did u do 1 star trades?

hunters get paid after the trader sells his/her goods. its easier coz they dont hav to buy transport and worry about them all the time. but gotta watch out for high lv theives. dont think its faster. at least not for me

i've had my butt kicked too by higher lv thieves but that never stopped me. You find lot of weaker lv thieves on horses. Its pretty even i guess, although there are many more thieves then hunters.

I did do a few 1 star trades, then i also had a few ppl to 2star but they took the longest way possible :banghead:

I attacked every thief i saw, because if it was a low lv i won. Where as, if it were a stronger/higher lv thief, i would die anyways if we crossed paths.
