total noob, with questions!

To add on from what Aaronock said.

Thieves are alot of fun, but this is different from person to person. Their one of the easiest first classes to level. Double attack is also very smexy.

As Aaronock said, thieves change into a Rogue or an Assassin. I'd say an assassin is more newbie friendly than a rogue is.

Also, what I meant about pets was the job alchemist. They have a homunculus which is a pet that fights for them. This is definitely not a newbie friendly class to play. However, other classes can still have "pets" that loot for them, attack abit etc. but they're generally more 'for fun' type of pets, whereas the alchemists' homunculus is a integral training tool for them.
