My friend is interested in going into the STR shadower path, currently he has 37 STR with all the +es he got (he doesn't got STR equips he got DEX, its' from necklace helmet etc) Now, I think this way: Sell his equips and get equips that add to STR for these reasons: STR equips are cheaper so he can save more AP that way, by lets say selling he's 3/8 LUK PAC and getting a 3/12 STR PAC. He doesn't have to wait 8 levels to get the khanjar. 17 attack + 38 STR > 38 LUK What do you think he should do? (PS he's level 129 if it makes a diffrence (with level 1 maple hero)) Edit: Didn't know there's a lvl 80 khanjar. I meant dragon khanjar obviously

InHerArms said: " Never said base str" You made it seem like it, though. A Zakum Helm gives STR, but also LUK. The same goes for the MoN, Deputy Pendant and the HT Pendant. When you have one (or two) of those things you won't have to sacrifice that LUK for STR.

As you said the chances of buying a 30 att D. khanjar is depressingly, low; so he could also consider saving nx and meso by getting something that's bound to be more accessible. Besides, weap att ins't the 'end all be all' for bandits remember luk is the damage stat. I'm willing to be that if two thieves had nearly the same weap att then one with more luk would come out on top; i don't know about the calcs for that particular wager it's a hypothesis. Aside from Mejust's maple vendetta, Does anybody here wish nexon would make a "Maple Khanjar"? There'd be some godly merch'ing to be had if they ever did." You know what? My bad. Probably only the only mistake you'll see me make when it comes to math. Dragon Khanjars have an absolute max of 19+(7*3)=40 Att. Which would mean that 5 30%'s have to work on an average Dragon Khanjar to get 30 Att. Which has a chance of a whopping 0.243%! Isn't that awesome? That means that one out of ~412 Dragon Khanjars will have those stats! Did you know that that's a chance improvement of over 40.000%? You know what's even better? There are 18 Att clean Dragon Khanjars out there! Which means only 4 30%'s must pass! That's a chance of 0.81%! Almost one on a hundred Dragon Khanjars! And the chance is over 3 times better than with 5 30's! But, let's state the facts here. Chances are one on ~124 Dragon Khanjars. And a chance improvement over the Maple shield of nearing 140.000%! Seriously, little boy. Scrolling a Dragon Khanjar up to 30 Att is hands down, no doubt in sane mind, the cheaper deal here. Buying a prescrolled 30 Att Dragon Khanjar is the cheaper deal here. Bottom line is, if a Str bandit has 15 Att over a Luk bandit, he's out damaging him by at least a 100. Now get the hell out ^_^

I thought it was basically confirmed that it would give -1/-3/-5/+0/+1/+3/+5 to any stat (def, luck, str, int, w. att, m. att) that could be found on the item, but i could be wrong
