I'd just go into Valkurm, right by the zone point, with your party seek flag up, and sit tight until you get an invitation to join a party. If you're at the zone point, and get aggro, you can just skip across the border. Once you get an invite, you can look at your map to see your party members (You might need to press menu left/right a few times after selecting markers on your map) and walk to them.
As a theif, you'll probably be expected to pull, so be sure to stock up on arrows.

I have partied with thief's with viper bite + trick attack ;p I realize the potential for the class, I just don't have the heart to level it past 15. ;)
Okay, I was surprised how much I got invitations today. When I put my flag up around Plateu and Valkurm, I immeadiately got an invitation and very fast leveled to 14.Some of the parties kinda sucked, so I died twice as well, so that's why I'm not on level 15 yet.
I seriously didn't have any problems to make it in parties, and I didn't even have to ask. This game just got many times better.
Edit: By the way, is it hard to get to other cities at this level? I don't actually even know where they are, heh. x) Also: I'm wearing brass armour and royal archer' sword at the moment; can I get something more up-to-date stuff from any shop ( any city) yet/soon?

You can easily get to almost any other city. If you want to go to Bastok, go south of Valkurm to Konnschtat Highlands, and then south to North Gustaberg (Bastok territory), south again to South Gustaberg, and then you can hit Bastok (it's not on the map, but follow the northern wall of South Gustaberg, skip the first exit towards N. Gusty, and you'll be in Bastok Markets.
To get to Windurst, take the boat in Selbina (Stay in the cargo hold during the trip), and that'll put you in Mhaura. Exit Mhaura into Buburimu Peninsula, and go south to Tahrongi Canyon. Exit south from Tahrongi to East Sarutabaruta, and you can find an entrance to Windurst Woods in the far south of East Sarutabaruta.
Don't even *try* to go to Jeuno until level 19, unless you have a high-level escort.
Well i got this for my WAR Hume which is currently lvl 9.

I can't believe I had never visited the auction house before! I have wasted so much money for crap before this. This auction house feature is godly, very handy and FUN.
...and before this, I have just sold my crystals to NPCs. x_X

O_o!
You poor, poor man. No wonder you were having trouble making money.
Tell me about it. :\
Speaking of making money, today I guess I'll start my fishing hobby. I've heard it takes patience and time, but it can be very profitable. I've read some fishing guides.
('-'*)/ - "sup"
That's what I did for a few days then I read about the auction house and then started rolling in money.and before this, I have just sold my crystals to NPCs.
But fishing? I tried it for about a week, all I did was lose 2 rods and 2 dozen bait, and not once got any thing or even some skill level up. Of course then again I was also fishing randomly where ever I could, with whatever I had, but meh I think I'm just a impatient person.

Try getting a non-cheap rod and some insect paste balls, and fish down at Knightwell in West Ronfaure. Not a bad place to start building your skill levels.
If you can afford it, a sabaki rig is godly, too.
Recommend just insect paste, with low fishing skill breaking your rod or losing your bait will so kill your wallet >< Just get bamboo, insect paste, and fish at fresh water areas, and not the salt water(port/ocean areas).
Speaking of leveling up again, Í realized that today I was first time in a good party. Everything worked so well, and during my time in that party I levelled from 15 to level 18.
It was great and I hope I'll be lucky enough to be in that good parties again. But most of all: as the party was good, I learned today in few hours more than I had learned that far.
Only negative thing from today is, that I didn't get really anything to sell nor did I get money, so I can't upgrade my equpment at all. Maybe I'll go solo-killing some orcs to get troutloads of fire crystals tomorrow...

a good way now to get quick money, if you have your sub job option avaliable is go back to town, switch your main job to a new one like warrior or monk, keep you theif as your sub and focus on killing things that give you wind and fire crystals, probably bees and gobs. With your increased drop rate from the theif you can coin it quickly auctioning crystals.
You only get the increased drop rate from thief with treasure hunter skill at level 15. So you'll main will need to be 30 before having THF as a sub will give you treasure hunter.
