Thief equipment is easy to spot as it frequently (though not necessarily) has Damroll, Dexterity, and Thief Skill Level all at once. Occasionally a thief item will also increase Hitroll, Charisma, Strength, or Constitution. An example of a Thief item would be the following lowbie neck item:

Thief equipment is easy to spot as it frequently (though not necessarily) has Damroll, Dexterity, and Thief Skill Level all at once. Occasionally a thief item will also increase Hitroll, Charisma, Strength, or Constitution. An example of a Thief item would be the following lowbie neck item:

a rat shaped medallion
Artifact armor
NECK
1 Armor Class
  • ◆ +1 Thief Skill Level
  • ◆ +1 hitroll
  • ◆ +1 damroll
  • ◆ +1 Dexterity
Requires Level 19 Thief
Keywords: rat black medallion chain metal


Backstab Weapons

When using the Backstab skill picking the right weapon is critical. It must be a pointed weapon meaning one of: pierce, stab, sting, gore, or bite. A weapon meant for backstabbing is generally spotted by its stats which will be one of the aforementioned damage types, it will have high Damroll with little or no Hitroll, and usually includes Thief Skill Level. The weapon (perhaps obviously) also cannot have the NO_BACKSTAB flag which means the weapon cannot be used for backstab, though this flag is usually found on Warrior weapons with pointed damage types rather than Thief weapons. Note: a good backstabbing weapon generally also makes for a good Crippling Strike weapon due to both skills ignoring the target's Armor.

One of the most iconic backstabbing weapons is The Lost Spear of the Ancients:

  • ◆ +2 Thief Skill Level

List of Thief Equipment

The Thief Equipment Category lists equipment which is either explicitly THIEF flagged or is designed to be used for Thieves

Leveling Gear

This section will cover important pieces of gear you should do your best to acquire while leveling. Not every piece of equipment is required nor will everyone have the exactly the same equipment due to Alter Aeon being a multi-class MUD. As with most newbie island gear it is focused primarily towards dealing as much damage as possible even if there is slightly less armor due to the theory that they can't hit you if they're dead.

The item page for each embedded item should have the location of where it can be found.
