I've got a question about my 3rd job skill build.

So I'm sure that I'm gunna max avenger and BoT first, but what's the best way to do it?

Edit: Also, where should I cap my dex to (eventually) wear the level 120 daggers?

*Points out that Avenger is a Hermit skill*

There are actually some worthwhile options for chief bandits these days, the first being maxing BoT while grinding at stuff like MP3, v/hoodoos and Windraiders to switch to typhons somewhere low in 8x. The second is getting 1 ME at lvl70 and bombing elder wraiths while maxing BoT. Don't be scared of money loss, it's been proven that you usually make money there. And yet again, you will go to Typhons somewhere in 8x.

The third and final worthwhile option would be maxing ME first. Again, you'll train at Elder Wraiths at first, but you'll have to move on to other monsters around 9x. I've heard that bombing Dragon Nests can get you from lvl90 to 120 within a week or two. You could also start maxing BoT immediately after you've maxed ME and start training at Typhons high 8x/low 9x.

Note about the Dex: cap wherever you are comfortable or use this simple equation:
Base Dex = Total needed Dex - Total Dex gotten from equips
