Req LUK/WA for second job advance THEIF?

What a lot people do is make sure that they have enough accuracy to hit the monsters and then just use apples/heartstoppers for the additional damage if you have the minimum amount of primary stat. For the 3rd job advancement, it's a bit harder, but you can always job adv much later (like do 3rd and 4th job adv at once at lvl 120) when you have more primary stats!

Note: I don't recommend waiting on 2nd job advancement, since the hp equations change (for the better!) at 2nd job.

 

I have some data to share, might not be really helpful though.
With these stats, I am able to land hits on the monster, but this is not the minimum stats required.
I think I have overpumped the LUK a bit.

How about HP equation changes for 4th job?
Is it advisable to job adv from 2nd job to 3rd job and 4th job at once at level 160?
Does the skill points get affected?

 

The equations don't change anymore after second job. It doesn't matter when you advance, but washing isn't great before second job due to the formulas changing. It's not more or less efficient to do it later though

I did my job advancement with some cheap luk gear and some weapon attack gloves and shoes. Just get yourself some luk gear as that boosts your dmg a LOT (lucky 7 is fully luk and atk based). My advice is to just try and see, but I didn't need any potions to do it
