Dexless bandit guide

About this guide

Welcome, This guide will teach you how to become a dexless bandit, a very powerful class in Maplestory. I'm surprised that no-one else has made a dexless bandit guide yet. They may be weak at first, but when you get to 40+, your seriously strong!

Step 1 (Learn what a thief is)

To create a Dexless bandit, you need to know the basics of a thief. To learn what a thief is and how to become one, click here: [1] Now that you know what a thief is, lets begin.

Step 2 (Learn what a dexless bandit is)

A dexless bandit is simply someone who creates a thief, gets the necessary 25 dex to make the thief and stops adding dex there. Then at lvl 30, becomes a bandit. The point of a dexless bandit is to not add dex and add much more luk instead, causing damage to rise but at the cost of not being able to buy normal armour. The armour that you will purchase instead is Lvl 10 armour from Lvl 10 - Lvl 24, then at lvl 25 you may purchase a Brown and at Lvl 30, you will use a sauna robe. More on equips later. You may seem weak from 10-30 compared to other classes and even other bandits, that's because other bandits have better daggers at that time. More on that later also.

Step 3 (Make a character)

If you read the thief guide, it should've told you what stats to have when you roll the dice, but if you only glanced through it, this may help you. Do NOT get random stats. Make sure you get these stats or similar:

• STR: 4 or 5
• DEX: XX
• INT: 4 or 5
• LUK: XX

XX is any number. The reason the two main stats needed for a thief is any number is because there is a certain amount of stats that is divided up into those 4, therefore, if you get a 4 or a 5 in STR and INT, you will definitely have a lot of LUK/DEX.

You'll need 25 dex by Lvl 10 and then, after that, you will Never need to add dex again. As shown in other guides, your Luk rises by 50 Luk every 10 levels, which affects your damage lots.

• Level 10: DEX=25, LUK=37
• Level 20: DEX=25, LUK=87
• Level 30: DEX=25, LUK=137
• Level 40: DEX=25, LUK=187
• Level 50: DEX=25, LUK=237
• Level 60: DEX=25, LUK=287
• Level 70: DEX=25, LUK=337
• Level 80: DEX=25, LUK=387
• Level 90: DEX=25, LUK=437

Step 4 (SP)

Well, SP means Skill Points and you need to choose these wisely, therefore, I have chose some different SP builds to let you decide what you want to be:

Dexless sindit:

Basically the exact same build as a normal Assassin, except instead of choosing assassin when your lvl 30, you choose bandit, therefore training without using Double Stab and using Lucky 7 instead, which may make you Level faster than normal bandits from 30-37. After 37, you don't really use Double stab anyway, because you have Lvl 21 Savage blow, which overpowers it anyway. The only bad thing about it is you only have half dark sight, which isn't a must, but when your lvl 120+ it is important to have maxed Dark Sight already. But let's not think that far ahead.

• Level 10: +1 to Lucky 7
• Level 11: +3 to Lucky 7
• Level 12: +3 to Lucky 7
• Level 13: +3 to Nimble Body
• Level 14-19: +2 Lucky 7, +1 Keen Eyes per level
• Level 20: +1 Lucky Seven, +2 Keen Eyes
• Level 21: +3 to Disorder
• Level 22: +1 Dark Sight, +2 Nimble Body
• Level 23-27: +3 Nimble Body per level
• Level 28-30: +3 Dark Sight per level

End result:

• Max Lucky 7
• Max Keen Eyes
• Max Nimble body
• 10 Dark Sight
• 3 Disorder
