Make a High Wizard. The 5x5 AOE damage makes farming all this crap really easy.
Nothing Fancy:

Use the Newbie Elephant Hat, from Freebie NPC(@warp fcity 84 119) to reduce casting cooldowns(a must have).
Lord of Vermilion will be your main spell across the board.
Alternate between Lord of Vermilion and Storm Gust on Gold Alus'.

Here's some clarification on the thief:
The thief can be at any three locations below. You don't have to talk to him in any specific order. If he's not at one location, go to the next. Warp to all three locations, like two or three times, and talk to him if he's there. (I know it's overkill but it is fool proof).
The coords make you land on top of him so he might not be missing, but your fat character model might be blocking him 🙂
Thief Locations:
@warp for_fild06 113 335
@warp for_fild06 224 226
@warp for_fild06 240 147
This crap weighs around 5k. When turning it all in, reset your stats through the Forsaken Kafra(costs $5k) to dump it all in Strength, then once turned in, reset your stats back to what they were before.
@storage all these items so your inventory isn't cluttered. Then, when turning them in, just go down this list when you're ready to turn everything in:

Final Items for the Forsaken Blacksmith:

1 Hammer of Blacksmith (pay_fild10 - Dropped by Dokebi) @ali 1005
1 Hero's remains (@warp abyss_03 - dropped by Lost Dragon) @ali 7833
Lost Dragon is a MVP(good luck)...
It's weak to Holy 175%. Neutral does 100%, everything else does 50% or less.
I formatted everything to help a noob like me out. Any suggestions on better farming methods/classes are welcome because I haven't played RO in a decade.
