Added new stat builds for lvl 40+ V 1.0 Wrote up the Basic Guide for the Bandit Intro: This guide for is just to show you how to make a proper bandit. It is how I feel the LUK bandit whould be made. - - - - - - - - Comparisons: LUK and STR Bandits: LUK bandits do more max damage than STR bandits but STR bandits do more min damage than LUK bandits. LUK Bandits and Sins: Luk bandits do more stable damage and their damage range in the end is less than sins. sins mostly rely on critical strike which doesn't always hit. however if they do then sins do more damage and they are ranged. Sins are weak close ranged LUK bandits and warriors: LUK bandits and warriors are very similar. not much damage in the end in terms of damage and range. LUK bandits and archers: Archers are ranged but are weak closed ranged. bandits are strong close ranged but can't hit ranged. - - - - - - - - The Beginning. The thing about this game is that every single stat point is required. When you are making your characters, roll the dice till these stats come out. Str: 4/5 Dex: anything Int: 4/5 Luk: anything. I recommend you get the 4/4 build but if you can't be bothered go for a 4/5 or 5/4. nothing else. After that you should be ready to go. When you first land on Maple Island. Don't bother doing the first quests since they are pretty useless. It is much faster to simply go to the end and killing a few green snails. Once you have leveled you will get 5 stat points. With these stat points place them into DEX until it is 25. Then place the rest into LUK. Once you get to lvl 10 go to Victoria island. [This will require 150 mesos] - - - - - - - - The 1st Job Advance When you are at Victoria Island. go straight down till you get to the travelling guy. go straight to Kerning city. As a beginner you are given a 90% discount so you only pay like 100 mesos or something. When you are at kerning go straight to the Jazz bar and press up at the door. Then you'll be in a room with a vampire living in a toilet. Talk to the vampire and get your job advance. This is your skills build until level 30. lvl 10: +1 Double Stab LVL 11: +3 Double Stab LVL 12: +3 Double Stab LVL 13: +3 Double Stab LVL 14: SAVE YOUR SP POINTS This is because once you advance your double stab from 10 to 11 your mp usage will double. and trust me. mp is very very VERY important (unless you're rich). LVL 15: Save SP LVL 16: +9 Double Stab (because who cares aobut one more lvl) LVL 17: +1 Double Stab (MAX) +2 Nimble Body LVL 18: +3 Nimble Body LVL 19: +3 Nimble Body LVL 20: +3 Nimble Body LVL 21: +3 Nimble Body LVL 22: +3 Nimble Body LVL 23: +3 Nimble Body (MAX) LVL 24: +3 Disorder LVL 25: +3 Dark Sight LVL 26: +3 Dark Sight LVL 27: +3 Dark Sight LVL 28: +3 Dark Sight LVL 29: +3 Dark Sight LVL 30: +3 Dark Sight Your stat build should be as follows. Dex = 2xLVL (note: at this point you may lack 1 dex point every now and then for a new weapon, when this happens just buy a piece of gear that adds +1 dex) LUK = Rest of you SP points. Training areas for lvl 10 - 30 LVL 10-18 The Tree that Grew I LVL 18-21 Pigs Beach LVL 21-25 Pigs Beach. Party Quest. Green Mushrooms LVL 25-30 Horny Mushrooms. Green mushrooms. Party Quest. - - - - - - - - The 2nd Job Advance Now you are level 30 and of course here comes the job advance. To do this simply go back to the vampire in the toilet and talk to him. He will give you a letter. Then go 2 maps right of kerning and go to the top of the constuction site. There you will find the 2nd job advance guy. Talk to him and you'll be transported to a place with cold eyes and blue mushrooms. These act like they've just been shocked or something and have higher damage/def. Once you get 30 dark marbles (which these fellas drop). Go back up and talk to him again. He'll give you the proof of a hero and then go back to the vampire and advance. From lvl 30 onwards these should be your skill placements LVL 30: +1 Dagger Mastery LVL 31: +3 Dagger Mastery LVL 32: +3 Dagger Mastery LVL 33: +3 Dagger Mastery LVL 34: +3 Dagger Mastery LVL 35: +3 Dagger Mastery LVL 36: +3 Dagger Mastery (finish at lvl 19 since if you advance to lvl 20 you'll only get 1 more accuracy) LVL 37: +3 Savage Blow LVL 38: +3 Savage Blow LVL 39: +3 Savage Blow LVL 40: +3 Savage Blow LVL 41: +3 Savage Blow LVL 42: +3 Savage Blow LVL 43: +3 Savage Blow LVL 44: +3 Savage Blow LVL 45: +3 Savage Blow LVL 46: +3 Savage Blow LVL 47: +3 Dagger Booster LVL 48: +3 Dagger Booster LVL 49: +3 Haste LVL 50: +3 Haste LVL 51: +3 Haste LVL 52: +3 Haste LVL 53: +3 Haste LVL 54: +3 Haste LVL 55: +2 Haste (MAX), +1 Dagger Booster LVL 56: +3 Dagger Booster LVL 57: +3 Dagger Booster LVL 58: +3 Dagger Booster LVL 59: +3 Dagger Booster LVL 60: +1 Dagger Booster (MAX) +2 Dark Sight (MAX) Dark sight is very useful for getting anywhere far away fast since it may be combined with maxed haste so you can walk past monsters. LVL 61: +3 Endure LVL 62: +1 Endure +2 Steal LVL 63: +3 Steal LVL 64: +3 Steal LVL 65: +3 Steal LVL 66: +3 Steal LVL 67: +3 Steal LVL 68: +3 Steal(MAX) steal is useful since the bug of steal has been fixed. It can now steal ITEMS and can also steal and item and see the same item drop when the monster dies. LVL 69: +3 Endure LVL 70: +3 Endure Stat build is the same as usual. Until lvl 40. From then on add +1 Dex and +4 luk per lvl. this is because lvl 50 armour would only require 90 dex except for your lvl*2. Training Areas. LVL 31-33 Horny Mushrooms. Blue Mushrooms.

Now for the 3rd job advance make sure you have got one refined dark crystal (not black crystal) in ur inventory and talk to alcaster and buy a few all cure potions. Then go to speak to the person with the scar on his face in the 3rd job place. He will tell you to go to Victoria and talk to the Dark Lord. When you get there, the dark lord will tell you to kill his evil counterpart and claim the black seal. To do this go to the monkey swamp two (check hidden-street for whereabouts) and enter the Door of Dimension. Walk to the end and on the second map is the Dark Lord's evil counterpart. This person does about 200-300 touch damage, throws steelys and uses avenger which does 1k damage. He ALSO summons Tauromacises and Curses you often (this is where your all cure potions come in handy). Once he is dead pick up the black seal and talk to the sparkling crystal where you will be teleported back to Kerning and talk to the Dark Lord, who will give you the tailsman of strength. Once you have gotten this go back to El Nath and talk to your 3rd job instructor again and she will tell you to go to the rock (forgot it's name) in the screcret portal which is on the top right corner of Sharp Cliff II. Once you get down there Talk to the rock and give up you're Dark Crystal to answer some questions. Make sure hidden street is running at this time because you MAY have to check up on some of the answers and if you get one wrong then you'll have to get a NEW dark crystal and go back there. After you've answered all the questions you would've gotten the talisman of wisdom. go back to your job instructor and get ur 3rd job!!!
