I need some help as I get equips to restart my cb. Keep in mind my cb was my first character I ever made 3 years ago. Level: 84 1.Ok here is my AP... 30 str, 120 dex, 5 int, 290 luck. This was my first character 2.SP- 6 DS ( I included this because I heard I need max DS to use assassinate efficiently.) 13 assaulter, 18 BoT, 1 ME, 8 meso guard 3. Equips- Before I quit my cb and sold everything I had a 100 attk+ DT a dark level 80 thief set and a 12 luck shield. I would like the same equips or maybe that bandit shield with attack? As for a zhelm my dk has one so when scissors are out...yeah. 4.Where to train? I plan to mpq to 86 since I am 84 and will get in easily. I plan to put points into BoT but if there are other places to train with a different skill tell me >:o! 5.All other tips appreciated xD. Thanks for reading. EDIT:I am transferring...an 8 attack wg, a 2 attack PAC, and I have 50mil mesos to work with until I decide if I want to continue so then I can sell my DK's equips. P.S. Sorry if its sloppily written >.<.

Ummm...u can try Windraider, they'll probably be good to u right now...Voodoo//Hoodoo is a good place to get mesos when ur low but not that good of a training spot now. Windraiders will also give u good mesos but careful not to fall xD, but if u do just spam haste or something. Find out how to do the JQ and stuff like that, and as for the MPQing I found it really slow and boring and I think I got about double the exp from Windraiders, so I really wouldn't recommend that...Plus I think most people nowadays only do the pq to get the Horus's Eye. Well I hope this helps~GL =P

I'm happy that you're starting up again Noting that you quit three years ago, you should know that there are MANY more BoT compatible maps now than there were three years go. Get 30 BoT, then work on Assaulter or ME (whatever you want). You should try to get decent equips but don't try for godly unless you still have Mesos left. Get a cheap things that give you attack. Remember: Attack > LUK in terms of damages. I suggest getting a 8+ glove and a 5+ shield. Don't worry about PAC or Facestompers (attack shoes) right now since the prices are not worth the amount of attack you get. You can try and get a 100+ atk DT, get them since the prices have gone down. Once you have 24+ BoT you can try Typhons or Wolf Spiders in NLC (New Leaf City) and spam BoT xDDD I heard you get get 30-40% each hour but I haven't tried it so I can't verify if it's true or not. You try it and then tell me Good luck with your Chief Bandit and I hope you are successful in your way of the Bandit!

Thanks guys xD. Oh yeah I forgot to add some things that I will now. I am xfering my DK's 8 attack work glove and 2 attk 8 str PAC (it has strength but meh it will survive me) I also have about 50 mil to work with sincee I'm not selling my DK's equips atm.

Once you've got more than 230 accuracy (or a maximum range that's above 1700) you could go to Typhons. Since you have 30 STR you might try and get some STR equips and convert to STR. Maybe your damage will be a little better, especially now Dragon Khanjars are REALLY cheap.

Or should I just mass add str and go str dit?

All I can say is that you should get the best stuff you can afford. A STR top, a DEX bottom (because capping DEX is nice too), you already have a nice cape, a Zakum Helm, shoes with a little DEX and STR, a Deputy Star and by level 110 a MoN (or maybe a HT Pendant). @_@ I don't know if that'll eventually give you the 45 STR you still need, but you could just go on with 30 until you're level 100 so you can see if you'll need to add more STR. I have 55 base STR and I need shoes with a little STR or a Deputy Star (heh... still have a Spiegelmann Necklace because I couldn't Magatia PQ) or a MoN to wear the Kanzir and the Dragon Khanjar.

Ok I suppose I'll stick with 30. But I haven't thought of my dammage to be horribly bad. I mean I consider it decent or somewhat :o. Hmm but I'll compare it to other CB's.

Your damage is always yours and there are so many damage hoars even in our class that it isn't fun any more. There are level 60s who outdamage me, a level 97. People are quitting their CBs because they can't match up with the damage on the low DEX low STR Bandits (who are insanely funded) and lose track of what "fun" is. My damage is 1203-1996, very low for a CB of my level, but I"m fine with it. I just keep on playing. I don't need high damage to play. (I capped very high and aside of my glove, Helm and Cursayer my equips suck) I wasn't implying your damage is weak; I was just saying that because you have 30 base STR you could easily make the step towards STR CBhood. The CB is such a flexible class that you can make something out of nearly every situation. ;)

i wouldnt recommened converting to STR dit, since ur so far into luk. What you can do is put maybe more into STR (40~45base) and use a zhelm+ star deputy pendant so you can have 65 STR for the Khandjar shield (7atk clean and only 10m in bera). As for dex, NO MORE! 120dex is enough to last the rest of the game. Get maybe a luk sauna (20+) if u have enough, OR Str/Luk Top and Dex bottoms (more Def. and stats). **Personally, this is what imma do when the 2nd and 3rd Horntail Egg come... Base dex @ 60 Base STR @ 4 (HT necklace with all eggs add 52+ every stat and Zhelm adds +15 = 67+ stats) I would do ^^^ if i wanted to have the lv80 Khandjar atk shield and the low dex would help with more luk. OR Base dex @ 4 Base STR @ 4 Rest Luk.... With 15atk Maple shield (more expensive than the Khandjar)...

Ima try and convert to str with str equips xD.
