I've been looking at guides everywhere and saw that they all stated that there's some leftover SP that you can put into whatever you want. I'm kind of having trouble with this (even though I'm still level 50) and I'm not sure what to put them in. I know that this is what I should have: 19 Mastery Max Boost Max Savage Blow Max Haste I heard that you shouldn't put the last point into Mastery because it only gives you +1 accuracy. Is this true? I also read in one of Basil's guides that you should max Endure because it's useful, and I'm planning on doing that. But what about the leftover SP? I know it won't really affect me since I would have maxed everything I needed by now, but I'm just curious. What did you guys put the SP in?

Yes it is true, Lvl 20 Mastery only adds 1 extra ACC. Max Endure, it is REALLY useful. Saves a few pots at times so it actually helps you save mesos. I maxed out Dark Sight since I didn't do so back during 2nd job. If you ran out of options, just add one into steal and the rest into disorder. If you didn't max nimble body, do so as well. So the order I should go is, -Max Endure -Max Dark Sight if you haven't already -Max Nimble Body if you haven't already. -Max out Disorder if you haven't already. -Add one to Mastery since the one ACC is better then the leftover useless skills. -Add one to steal for show. And what you have leftover, just add to Lucky 7 or something.

Yeah, I'm thinking about maxing Endure and Dark Sight. But I'm not really sure about Disorder and Mastery. The reason is because I heard Disorder is pretty useless, and Mastery only adds +1 accuracy at level 20. I know I stated that before, but +1 ACC isn't going to help as much. I'm thinking of putting 1 in Steal though.

Max darksight first with the extra points! After that, I'd put one point into mastery, because it gives you a sexy "swing trail" from your dagger :P Then get steal, endure, or L7/Keen Eyes (if you want to whip stars around with no mastery). Don't bother maxing Disorder, you only need one point in it for it to de-agro the enemy. As you raise it, it really doesn't get any better.

dude, max mastery. it feels horribly wrong to not actually master the weapon you use. i don't care about +1 accuracy, i care about being true to my class, and the leve 20 attack animations are awesome looking, especially on different daggers (cass, for example is huge and sharply spiked waves). they aren't 'leftover' points. my suggetion is max steal, not cause i'm biased, cause it has more use than endure for your future. yeah, it's my favorite skill but it has much more utility than endure. i need to make a thread about the realities of steal, nobody seems to understand it.

Nobody seems to understand it because noone wants to add points into a skill they weill barely/if ever use it. because there is almost no point in ever using it apart from just for showing noobs also from what mejust said endure is really not that helpful either saving what 5 sorcerer elixirs an hour? thats what 7.5k per hour your saving?

shagreenheart 08/30/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

whatever, i'll make a FAQ purely devoted to steal so noobs don't listen to jokers like you. and it doesn't matter at all what you save with endure, it's what you get. because it's a PASSIVE skill which (mp regen) constantly works for the rest of your career as a bandit and on.

Slatz 08/30/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

so i could either put points in to L7 and Keen Eyes to help out my party in gpq .....or save 7.5k an hour in pots? im sure i can sacrifice 7.5k per hour to help my friends

shagreenheart 08/30/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

that's apples and oranges you goon. if that's how you play, then yeah, go ahead and get L7 and keen eyes, but you won't GPQ forever.

Slatz 08/30/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

and i wont be playing maple forever either whats your point?

shagreenheart 08/30/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

huh, don't remember you being a literal person, but i'll rephrase my statement. "you won't gpq for the entirety of your maple career"

Slatz 08/31/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

and hopefully you wont be writing unhelpful guides for yours

shagreenheart 08/31/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

bash them all you want. more than anything i want to make vids of my bandit kooler up in the 4th job levels displaying everything i'm talking about so you goons can see it, cause i know what a pain it is to read a "wall of text", ( jeez, what do you jokers call books? planet alphabets?), and not even trying to read it thouroughly. i think that if you did, stepped outside of your dumb little box where everybody holds your hand and tells you how to think so you don't have to, you would actually really appreciate my guide and your class a lot more, i mean that. that's why none of your criticism blemishes my entusiasm. but it's ok. suck on your pacifier, and wait for instructions slatz. there is nothing "unhelpful" about a thread that explains exactly what steal does, how to make the most out of it, and intelligent ways to use it to give you a leg up in many situations.

The only intelligent way to use Steal is to not use it at all.

Well, I've heard Steal isn't much help anyways but people put a point into it for fun. So I guess max Dark Sight and Mastery, but L7 and Keen Eyes? Won't I become a SinDit?
