Thieves possess numerous abilities to help them survive in the shattered world, such as coin swiping and trap knowledge. Though thieves are not as combat oriented as assassins, they are equipped with many devious fighting abilities, like backstab and mugging. Most strive to be skillful, sly, and cunning, making them very capable spies. A thief's strength is in his or her ability to avoid detection while navigating tricky situations. By accumulating the wealth of others, a thief can stay comfortably equipped with the best that doubloons can buy.
