Hey guys I made a dawn warrior yesterday and i'm lvl 19 but I have a few questions... I'm not really funded so what should I cap my dex at? How do I distribute my SP? Should I just do the skill that has the thumbs up? Also for 2nd job how should I go about my SP? I saw the DW guide but it might be outdated.. idk..

The DW guide is good except for at the beginning of second job, it tells you to put a point in soul blade. Soul blade is useless at level 1, so put that point in soul runner. As far as dex goes, if your totally unfunded, cap your dex somewhere around 60-80. It'll be rough sometimes, but I can almost guaruntee you'll have the money for a zhelm by the time you absolutely need it. Also, remember to do the quest for the level 18 helm, it's like a mini noob zhelm. So broken...

Dude when you get 1 SP put it on mastery, not soul rush. Soul rush is useless lvl 1 o-o.

So mastery...? Everyone else agree?

Yeah I agree. D: Or Soul Rush. Then after 19 or 20 mastery, put some in booster and max soul blade.

I can assure you that you should never go higher than 40 DEX even if you're unfunded. My Dawn Warrior was unfunded (besides lv8 blessing) and is sitting comfortably at 25 base DEX. As for SP Build, I did this: 1st Job: Max max hp increase 1 Power Strike (You'll need 1 in Power Strike first to put anything into Slash Blast) Max Slash Blast Max Power Strike 10 Iron Body 1 Sprite or 0 Iron Body 11 Sprite. 2nd job: 1 Soul Blade (luring purposes in CPQ) 5 Mastery 6 Booster 19 Mastery 10 Soul Blade (Save 7 here) 17 Soul Blade 20 Soul Blade (Save 6 here) 26 Soul Blade Max Soul Rush Max Soul Blade 19 Rage Max Booster Max Mastery Max FA The reason why I saved up points before adding into Soul Blade is due to the damage decrease when it starts hitting more targets.

[/quote] While this is true, it eats up 60 mp per cast at lv 1. At level 30 you only have around 300-400 mp, expect to be using mp pots like a maniac. Either way, it doesn't go really far at lv1, even when you jump cast it.

Especially in room 5/6, you will be thanking yourself for that one point. edit: which btw is where you should be training at this point if you're not on 2x, because it really is the fastest 1x exp for an unfunded dawn warrior, in my experience all the way up to level 50.

[/quote] I personally did TW in Rooms 3 and 4, the map was small enough for me to not need Soul Rush and seemed much more mobby compared to Rooms 5 and 6.
