Thief's Knife?

It's essential for party/alliance/linkshell farming =D

Fixed. In all the years I have played THF, it's more valuable to farm with speed and damage. Any nominal "increase" (reads TH2+1, not TH3. It is NOT another tier of TH) you may get from TK is not worth the crap stats and -1 inventory. You can farm more MOBs in less time, more effectively without TK. Take it with you for superstition if you like, but it's really not worth it.

It is worth it for your LS though. Even a nominal increase at something RA/EX or shiny and expensive to sell is worth a shot. But again, have your less well equipped, less merited and useful to a group, and/or less skilled THFs equip TK. SE mentioned that the highest TH in the group is the only one that matters anyway.
 
Well, depends on what you're farming, I tend to farm shit stuff like level 10 stuff ^^

Beehive Chips/Honey :p (for own purposes and uses)
 
Fucking A. I leave everything at home and just bring my comet tail for that. Those kinds of drops flow like water. 1 shot kill. 1 shot kill. 1 shot kill. 1 shot kill. 1 shot kill. 1 shot kill. 1 shot kill. 1 shot kill. 1 shot kill. 1 shot kill. 1 shot kill. 1 shot kill. 1 shot kill. 1 shot kill. 1 shot kill. Haven't engaged a damn thing...I haven't seen TK make a difference there either, but perhaps it does give you 1% more total loot over time. Is it really lining the coffers? Inventory -1, and instagimp in almost every circumstance for solo play.

It's funny when the new players curse you out for stealing "their" MOBs because you're 75. Yeah, well kid, this is the way the world works. You don't always get what you want. Sometimes other people get what you want for an hour or two and they get bored with it and let you have it back.
 
Indeed. My setup differs "slightly"

Thief Knife (out of superstition) and a boomerang. Anyway it's not intensive, just when I need some materials. I get bored super quick so it's a quick "fix" while I wait for the next thing to do.
 
This TK shit has really made thfs so much lazier. Now everyone just sub hands TK for EVERYTHING, need TH or NOT.....
Don't even get me started on the main hand ones!
 
I agree with Sneakypants. If there was one thing I wish was completely understood by everyone, it's Treasure Hunter + items. I don't believe it really has any bearing on anything other than the marginal increase that only really matters for rare drops like HNM/Dynamis/etc. I can't say I've had much difference in farming with and without thief's knife/armlets on anything I do myself. Weak NMs still fail to drop with my THF as they do my BRD and I can kill 5-15% more mobs with my sirocco/blau offhand and my DD/TP hands. I generally just macro in my THF Knife and Armlets for the last 2-3% of big fights anyways. Especially since there's usually another THF there and we're both expected to have the TH gear equipped. T_T

I guess I just despise wasting slots like hands and offhand on a piece I don't think even works. I can be a great DD if given the opportunity and not expected to just be a TH pawn. But I have given up on expecting anything else, not for lack of trying though.
