[[Wild Boar]]s and [[Evil Eye]]s are good for now. Also, if you're into making big money from drops go to [[Chronos]] in [[Ludibrium]] but only if you have many potions. Levels 30-32 should go to Ant Tunnel 1 & 2 and train on Horned Mushrooms and Zombie Mushrooms. Note From Player: Bandits can also go to Wild Boars around level 33-35.
Since the Monster carnival PQ is out now, you can do that for great exp, and, when you get 30 points, a spigelemann neclace to sell. This can be accessed by talking to Spigelemann at Kerning City, Ludibrium, or Orbis.

As one of the two second job advancements for the Thief, the Bandit is one of the fastest, most dangerous jobs in the game. Of course, you start out weak, but you come out of it, bursting into your third job with huge amounts of damage and speed.


Second Job Introduction

Thief Job Tree, with the Bandit indicated in red.

This is where it gets fun! You've figured out the basics of the Thief, and you are now on your way of achieving what you've set out to do! The Bandit is a very fast, lethal character, so use your new powers to good! Bandits use a dagger as the main weapon. It enables them to strike quickly from up-close. Although the training may seem tough at times, later on you will realise that it was worth it.

Job Advancement Procedure

Finally, level 30! Time to make the second job advancement! To make the second job advancement, go back to where you first got your job of Thief and talk to the Dark Lord. When you talk to him, he will give you a letter to take to his instructor.

The instructor is two maps east of Kerning City; Talk to him. Buy 50 or 60 orange potions before leaving. He'll take you to the advancement area. The only way to get out is to change channel or die. All I can say after this is, go after the monsters. Get 30 dark marbles, return to the thief instructor and obtain the proof. Now, go back to The Dark Lord (Long lecture comes). Choose the Bandit and then confirm your choice. Congratulations! You are now a Bandit, and have just proceeded into your second job advancement!

Job Analysis

Being a Bandit means that you are on your way to becoming an expert with Daggers. The skills you acquire, the armor that you wear, the money that you have in your storage are all factors which determine the advantages and disadvantages of your chosen profession. In this case, it is the Bandit. Below, is a small list of general advantages and disadvantages in your ongoing career as a Bandit.

Pros

  • Attack speed is very fast.
  • Great in close battle.
  • Great party characters.
  • Amazing damage at high levels.

Cons

  • Do not have ranged skills.
  • A little hard to level up at lower levels.
  • Take a lot of damage.
  • Die a lot because they have to fight in close range and don't have very good weapon defense.
  • Have trouble killing many bosses such as crimson balrog or papulatus at low levels.

Stat Distribution

The stat distribution is the same as before, so there's no need to worry about this. Just keep your DEX at 2x your level, until level 40, then you can leave it as your level +40, and everything else goes into LUK!


  • LUK: +5 for three levels
  • DEX: +5 for two levels

Or

  • LUK: +3 on each level
  • DEX: +2 on each level

At Level 40+:

  • LUK: +4 on each level
  • DEX: +1 on each level

Level 30: 60 DEX, 117 LUK

Level 35: 70 DEX, 132 LUK

Level 40: 80 DEX, 147 LUK

Level 50: 90 DEX, 172 LUK

This build is suggested because steal would probably be better than endure

Places To Train

Below are some recommended places where you should train, and monsters of which you should train off.


Level 30-40

Since the Monster carnival PQ is out now, you can do that for great exp, and, when you get 30 points, a spigelemann neclace to sell. This can be accessed by talking to Spigelemann at Kerning City, Ludibrium, or Orbis.

Level 35-40

By now, you should be pretty strong. You can make a choice of either Wild Boar or Fire Boar for both Assassin and Bandit. Wild boars would still be good until the mid forty's (40-43),even though it is a pain. But if you can u can fight Brown Teddys in Lubrimium.

Level 40-45

Try Jr. Cellion, Jr. Lioner and Jr. Grupins. They give good EXP and great drops. Another place to train for bandits is at Ticks in Ludibrium. They give more exp than Jr. Cellions, Jr. Lioners and Jr. Grupins with the same ammount of health, but they spawn less and drop worse items. If you're a bandit with 21+ Savage Blow you might want to try going to Chronos also in Ludibrium. They aren't too difficult to kill with a scrolled dagger and/or warrior pills.

Player's Note: You can do the Ludibrium PQ for great exp., and great drops.

Level 45-50

By now, you should be able to fight Star Pixies. They drop a fair amount of Pan Lids and give decent EXP. For fast leveling go to the Ludibrium PQ. With the introduction of Aqua Road you have the option of Going down to The Dangerous Cave to kill Fly Eyes. With a high spawn rate and 95 exp any Bandit with mastery (19) and max Savage Blow (30) could easily 1 to 2 hit kill Fly eyes.

Level 50-55

Luster Pixies or Zombie Lupins. Good drops and good EXP. Stone Gollems or Block Golems in Ludibrium would also be good. Another nice option would be the Jr. Yetis and Hectors around Icy Path II. Another option is going to Dangerous Cave (which is the path to Pianus that can be found in The Grave of a Wrecked Ship located in Aqua Dungeon) and training on Flyeyes. There's a quite good spawn, and some decent drops, as well as the exchange quest that can be completed. They give 95 exp opposed to Zombie Lupins 90, and have less HP, although the Bandit class will have to purchase more HP pots.

You can also party quest in Ludibrium maze. It goes fo lvls 51-70. Or another place in near El Nath called Dead Mine. It has flyeyes and Coolies.

Level 55-60

Zombie Lupins, Flyeyes, Luster Pixies, Jr. Yetis, and Hectors, possibly even White Pangs would be good at these levels as well. Crocos are also good, as there's a chance you can obtain your lv 60 top & bottom, and Crocos give the same exp as Hectors but have 800 less HP. You can also try Dark Stone Golems, which drop Tobis and Dark Identitys. Lorang and Clang are nice, but hold off on Torties until you're able to 2 hit kill them as they have some good drops (10% Glove ATK Scroll, anyone?) If you do decide to go to Hot Sand or Clang and Lorang, bring a party with you. Then let them share your rare stuff.

Level 60-70

You can either go to Drake's Meal Table or Hot Sand. Coolie Zombies are the best exp at these levels. It will be hard to get a spot though because pratically every other class trains there. So if you want to train on Coolies, then go to El Nath and go two portals right. If you're having trouble, then bring a friend to help you or that knows where. Just in case you guys know Coolies are in a place call Dead Mine. Flyeyes near Pianus are still a viable option at these levels as you will most likely kill them with 1 hit as opposed to Zombies with 2 hits, plus it is also less crowded than the Zombie maps.
