Rogue – Age of Ymir: Age of Ymir

Rogue is the flexible continuation of Thief, trading pure assassin-style burst for utility, farming efficiency, and access to copied skills. On Age of Ymir, Rogue stands out through Snatcher, Steal Coin, Intimidate, and Plagiarism.

The class is especially good for players who want to farm efficiently, solo flexibly, and level with either dagger or bow weapons while keeping a clean path into Stalker.

Builds

Dagger Gank

This is the classic Rogue farming route. It builds around Snatcher for extra loot, Steal Coin for zeny farming, and copied skills through Intimidate. AoY's Game Changes also make this route more rewarding because equipment with Random Options can be stolen from regular monsters here.

It is the strongest general-purpose PvM Rogue route if your goal is efficient solo grinding and loot gain rather than PvP-specific utility.

Bow Rogue

Bow Rogue trades some melee pressure for safer ranged farming. It uses Vulture's Eye and Double Strafe, then scales through copied skills and strong ranged positioning.

This is the safer choice if you want to level from range while keeping access to Rogue utility instead of fully committing to dagger combat.

Plagiarism / Utility Rogue

This route leans harder into the utility identity of the class. Plagiarism, Intimidate, and the strip line let Rogue solve fights with copied offense and debuff pressure rather than only auto-attacks.

It is less straightforward for raw leveling than Dagger Gank, but it is the most representative route if you want the full Rogue class identity.

Skills

Skill	Description
Back Stab	Back Stab is Rogue's main weapon skill and one of the clearest reasons to stay on the class. On AoY, it follows the Renewal-style behavior from Game Changes, teleporting to the target and applying Double Attack from any direction.
Snatcher	Snatcher adds automatic steal attempts to normal attacks and is the core reason Dagger Gank Rogue remains one of the most efficient farming variants.
Steal Coin	Steal Coin provides direct zeny farming value and works naturally with loot-focused Rogue progression.
Intimidate	Intimidate is the bridge into Rogue’s copied-skill playstyle and one of the class’s defining tools outside of pure farm efficiency.
Plagiarism	Plagiarism lets Rogue retain enemy-used skills and turns the class into a flexible leveling platform rather than a fixed weapon-only class.
Tunnel Drive	Tunnel Drive improves hidden movement and supports safer positioning for dagger or utility Rogue styles.
Strip Skills	Strip Helm, Strip Shield, Strip Armor, and Strip Weapon are what give Rogue its disruptive class identity beyond PvM farming.
Bow Utility	Vulture's Eye and Double Strafe are what make Bow Rogue viable instead of just a gimmick side route.
Sword Mastery	Sword Mastery remains relevant for dagger and one-handed sword Rogue setups, and AoY currently exposes custom tuning on the live skill tree for this skill.

Equipment

For early beginners on AoY, the Eden Group Equipment Quests are still the cleanest starting point. The dagger and bow upgrades both fit Rogue well, which makes the page easier to progress regardless of whether you stay melee or switch ranged.

Equipment	Description
Eden Group Equipment Quests	Eden Group Equipment Quests are the best free baseline for early Rogue gearing, with both dagger and bow paths remaining relevant while you decide your long-term route.
Gladius [3]	Gladius [3] is one of the standard carded dagger options for PvM Rogue and stays useful if you want flexible damage slotting.
Main Gauche [4]	Main Gauche [4] and Knife [4] are still the classic status or utility dagger choices.
Ice Pick	Ice Pick and Ice Pick [1] are the premium options for higher-DEF targets once your gearing is already established.
Damascus	Damascus is the usual indestructible elemental dagger choice when you want a stable weapon rather than a fully carded slot platform.
Bow Package	Orc Archer Bow is one of the stronger Rogue bow options, while Composite [4] stays a cheap early fallback.
Headgear Setups	Apple of Archer, Chick Hat, and Rideword Hat [1] cover most of Rogue’s common top-headgear directions.
Armor and Utility	Odin's Blessing [1], Panties [1], Undershirt [1], and shield options like Buckler [1] are the usual practical baseline pieces.
Shield Choices	Buckler [1], Guard [1], Silver Guard [1], Stone Buckler [1], and Valkyrja's Shield [1] are the normal defensive shield progression for dagger Rogue. Bow Rogue cannot attack while a shield is equipped because bows are two-handed weapons.
Garments	Vali's Manteau is still a practical neutral-damage reduction option when you do not want to rely on a card slot, while Undershirt and Undershirt [1] remain cheap Rogue staples when paired with the Panties line.
Accessory Package	Vidar's Boots, Shackles, Bloodied Shackle Ball, Clip [1], The Sign, and Rogue's Treasure cover most of the common utility accessory choices.
Footgear	Vidar's Boots are the stable general option, while Shackles become attractive when paired with Bloodied Shackle Ball for the extra ATK at the cost of weight.
Accessories	Clip [1], The Sign, Bloodied Shackle Ball, Medal of Honor Thief, and Rogue's Treasure cover the main utility, damage, and stat-threshold accessory routes for Rogue.

Leveling

Level Range	Location	Notes
55-70	Orc Maps	Fresh Rogues can transition directly from Thief leveling by pairing Eden Group quests with Orc Warrior, Orc Lady, and Orc Baby.
70-85	Clock Tower 3	Alarm and related Clock Tower targets are a stable midgame option if your Rogue already has its main utility and copied-skill flow online.
85-99	Glast Heim Churchyard	Wraith and Evil Druid are common late solo targets while preparing for Stalker.

Job Change

You can become a Rogue once your Thief reaches Job Level 40 or 50. On Age of Ymir, you have two practical routes:

Route	What You Get	Notes
Official Rogue Quest	Official Rogue class access through the guild tests on Pharos Beacon Island, including the written test, item collection, and maze segment.	This is the full guild route and the one to take if you want the complete class-change process rather than only the final class unlock.
AoY Job Master	Immediate Rogue advancement and automatic quest/platinum skills through Job Master.	The Job Master route is the convenience option for second classes. It skips the official tests and does not add a separate secondary-class reward bundle.

Recommendation

Take the official route if you want the full Rogue guild questline.
Use the AoY Job Master if you want to move directly into Rogue utility and faster progression.
