I am sticking with the people who think that bandits are better than dual blades, and im guessing im probably the only person in maple whose gonna make a bandit over a dual blade. Yea, so anyway, can I hve a few of my questions answered? (preferably from pro shadowers XD) I hve 75k nx for funding, and I already hve a pretty good maple wagner, glowing purple dragon tail, 12 luk sauna robe (to be used for entire game), 3 dex bss, 4 dex 8 acc rice cake on top of head (do not want zhelm or any other helm), 2 att 6 luk PAC. With my 75k nx, im gonna spend 25k on a 10att + maple shield With the rest of my 50k, which would be more helpful to a bandit, white mouse kit (or rat mouth or raccoon mask), or spectrum goggles? IMO, the acc from mouse kit is helpful, but the spec goggles look cool (although the str is useless to me) And for the leftover nx (probably 1-10k), I will buy a scrolled k-fan and a maple asura Any other bandit tips from shadowers are helpful 2 me tnx

It basically depends on what you want your stat build to be, and what your ideal end game weapon is. Judging from what you've said, your most likely go low-dex. Don't worry about Face Accessory items, they're more late and luxury items. And are usually more overpriced if you need 3-4DEX.

Yeah, it'd be better to use that extra 40k to get 2 more attack from a shield than to get a face equip lol. Bandits don't ever need acc so it shouldn't even be considered in your decision making. I'd suggest using the face equip nx on upgrading your cape or better shoes

Adding accuracy to a thief is like adding a cup of water to the ocean. I don't think I've ever had any issues with accuracy except when i was trying to kill really silly things. So I wouldn't really worry about a face equip. Out of those 3, I'd go spectrum goggles just cause I think they look coolest. XP Truthfully, what you want to do first is decide what your end-game weapon is going to be, then determine your equips from there. After you've decided your end-game weapon, your equips should help you reach the required dex (assuming you want to be dexless or low-dex) Since you have a nice wagner and a sexy Dragon Tail, I'd remain dexless until you start approaching being able to use the DT then put in any extra dex you need to equip it. Then, if you decide to ever upgrade your weapon, you can either add dex or upgrade your equips. I'm assuming since you're getting a maple shield, you're not going str, so I would ignore any str equips as they'll be useful to you (though you already knew that. XD) Not getting a helm is a big downside as it adds 15+ stats and allows you to be that much more dexless, but tis your decision. Other than that, just upgrade your equips as you like.

You seem to be a dexless bandit. The damage is going to fade out at about 100, so if you plan on getting that far, you might want to switch to low dex. You would want to buy a work glove and an earring with your nx. A zhelm is an amazing investment. You can always buy a hat cover if you don't like how it looks. Face accessorizes should be the last thing you should worry about. As said before, acc is almost useless on a dit.
