Honestly, just go /WHM and get RR up. If you die, oh well, you're only LV50 and only lose like 200 exp. I find that with Skeleton Keys, Mimics are so rare anyway that they hardly ever show. I only got one once and that was with a Living key.

I'm not a THF so I've never picked a coffer, but they're not like Golden Salvage chests that just rape you as soon as you get back up? I guess they depop? D:

Just an agreement with earlier posts really, using bolts is the way to go, and definitely worth spending the time keeping it capped. I only took THF to 37 on main char as a sub but have been working on farming mule which is 57THF so far.

Had marksmanship capped from levelling ranger when i levelled to 37 on main and had great fun, and made an already fun job more complete. When i started my farming mule (in process of getting cooking to 100, and buying ingredients all the time just blows) so my main priority was to keep marksmanship capped.

I would recommend venom bolts as these are usually by far the cheapest and just spam them with sushi, especially if you farm and solo a lot as i do with my mule, takes no time at all to get it capped, and if you solo a lot should definitely keep that stack of bloody bolts handy for an emergency, they pricy but worth it.

Boring speach over, enjoy thief :p

Sleep bolts are awesome for skilling up. Or soloing some hard stuff really really really slowly but with 0 danger. There are definitely fights I've done on thf I couldn't have won without sleep bolts. Also fun for setting up solo SAs lol.
