Reflexx Wrote:So im actually completely new to the bandit class, like i dont get what you need str for? i know there are such things as str bandits, but i want to be a regular LUK bandit. I have alot of questions and im basically looking for a guide, its just i never found one in 3 maple forums. I was wondering if some experienced dits can answer my questions individually.
1) whats with the 3 stats (luk, dex, str)
As stated earlier STR is used to equip str daggers and the dragon khanjar, both which have higher base attack than the luk counterpart.
Reflexx Wrote:2) im NOT becoming a str bandit, im becoming a luk bandit, does that mean i dont have to worry about STR at all?and just concentrate on luk and dex?
I wouldn't throw away that option when you have little to no knowledge on it. As stated before STR dit gets a lot of perks, but only in the higher levels, such as 120+.
Reflexx Wrote:3) I dont want go reg dex(btw what is reg dex? twice level?) because i plan to hit 4th job and plan to acquire zhelm and ht pendant and such in the future. so what would be a dex i could work with for now, and i dont mind using common equips.
If you go on Luk dit instead of str, invest into a mon pendent. It's 40m, easy to acquire ect ect. An ht pendent only benefits str dits because it allows them to gain access to more attack with their shield. Luk dits invest into maple shields which require no str or dex, but are much more expencive because hero's fight for them as well.
Reflexx Wrote:4) Im very confused about weapon choices for bandits, from my knowledge there are 2 types, one is like a dagger or a short sword, and the other kind of looks like a claw and some have this moon shape like a pizza cutter or something. So someone enlightened me about dits weapons. Also i heard something like there are daggers that require str and some require luk and dex. Is choosing weapons kinda like choosing builds? Do i stick to one weapon? Im guesing i would stick to the weapons that doesnt require str... I actually have no idea lol so any help would be appreciated
Heres my advice as an ex shadower. Go completely dexless, pump into luk until you have a zhelm, dep star, and a black belt. Why? You get a defined line of what your base is and you convert to the lowest possible dex based on your funds. A mon has 5 stats as well a dep star, so unless you decide to go str that's all the add you're going to get. If you decide to get an ht pendent simply add that to your calculations, but stay dexless until you acquire that HT pendent.
Realistically if you were a luk dit you'd have
25 base dex
15 dex zhelm
5dex belt
5 dex mon pendent
1 dex medal (if you recieved the diligent quest medal, much easier than the quest so I'll just make this the more realistic one)
1 dex broken glasses.
That's all you can really get unless you decide to splurge a lot of money into something like spec goggles. In total that's 52 base dex out of the 150 you'd need to equip a timeless dagger. Now dex pants you could easily forge a 10 dex pair so make it 62 base instead. So with 62 base you'd need 88 dex added which is equilavent to around 17att in luk. Now with a str bandit you pretty much get the same bonus but instead of 5 for the pendent make it 22. So add 17 stats to the dex/str total which is 79 total dex and 59 base str.
With that said the str dit only needs 71+16=87 stats to use a dragon khanjar and his reverse weapon. That allows him to use a 15att shield clean and a dagger with a 2 base higher. In reality the str dit loses 2att but gains 17, the luk dits loses 17 and gains none from the stat loss. That's why they convert.

I forgot the numbers but it's best to get mastery to I think 10 or 11 then max SB. Personally though, Chief bandit is the worst class you should pick as your starting a class. A decent one costs like 3 bil. Make a class that makes money and use that to fund your bandit. Bishop or hero is your best option.
