Ask a Thief Thread.

I have a 97 CB that I made back in 2005 and quit years ago. I'm considering restarting it as a side project (mostly since my other side projects aren't nearly as high levelled as it). The problem is, it has all the flaws that you would expect an old character to have. Its base stats are 4 STR and 107 DEX, 4 INT, and however much LUK is left. Would it be possible to convert to a STR dit and scroll equips for STR, to make up for the high base DEX?

I quit it at 71 and my friend did a lot of the levelling work from 71-90, and I have no idea what happened with the skill build. It only has 18 Dark Sight, which my friend reset 15 points out of Disorder for (I went 18 Disorder instead of Dark Sight, back in the days before 3rd job was out and Dark Sight actually became useful). Its 3rd job skill build is just wtp.

24 Assaulter
4 Pickpocket
3 MG
23 ME
10 BoT
18 Chakra <- yes, 18.

Apparently I got through 8x by my friend's friend vaccing Vikings and MEing them. Pleasant. I can't train at any of the mob spots CBs train at nowadays.

So anyway, could I possibly salvage this character and get it to 120 without spending a lot of money? I'd prefer to spend no NX and an amount of money I can gather together in a matter of a few weeks to a month, so 100m tops, not counting a ZHelm, which I can get for practically free. Keep in mind this is a side project; I don't really care about being godly, just strong enough so I'm not agonizing over the low numbers and slow training speed.
