--------------------------------------------------------

2. Ability Point Distribution ----- [2APD]

First off when you create you character aim for these numbers:

Str: 4/5Dex: XInt: 4/5Lck: X

6 is okay too, but 4/5 is better so try for that if you're patient. The X's inDex and Lck mean those can be anything

Here is a sample build that will vary for some people:(This is the 4/13/4/4 build but you should get the idea)

Lv. 1: 4/13/4/4

Lv. 2: 4/18/4/4 (+5 Dex)Lv. 3: 4/23/4/4 (+5 Dex)Lv. 4: 4/25/4/7 (+2 Dex, +3 Lck)Lv. 5: 4/25/4/12 (+5 Lck)

Once you get 25 dex you "cap it" and stop adding points to this. Now, Dexlessdoesn't mean you have no dex, it just means you have enough to advance to thethief job and not add anymore dex. Since Assassins use lck as their ability todo dmg, the more you have the more damage you do. Hence, Dexless Assassins canusually outdamage most characters relativly close to their level. However,since they don't have the best of claws, you usually only hit an average of


11/25

400 - 600 more than usual.

3. Skill Point Distribution ----- [3SPD]

Now the fun part, skill distribution. As of now, I only have one distributionchart for each job advancement, but who knows. That may change in the near

6 DEX, 6 LCK, 6 ACC, and 6 Avoid.

20/25

Otherwise, stick with the Kandayo

-------

7c. Throwing Stars

Lv. 10 - 20: Subi: gotta love them. Cheap but weak, not much we can do thereunless you're lucky with drops and make a bit of cash

Mokbi; if you got a little rich, consider hunting the FM's fora set or two of Mokbi

Lv. 21 - 30: Mokbis: you should've been able to save up a fair bit of cash,so have around 2 - 3 sets of Mokbis on you

Kumbis: If you've really been cranking, get a set of Kumbis, theylook nice, and they do a lot more damage than plain subis

Lv. 31 - 40: Kumbis: sell your Mokbis and get have at least 4 sets of Kumbisheck, if you can afford it have 5!

Tobis: they can bankrupt you, but they are very, very decentstars, worth considering if you're rich

Lv. 41 - 50: Tobis: have at least 3 of these on your personel, and maybe keep2 or 3 Kumbis to backup on.

Lv. 51 - 60: Tobis: by now you should have at least 5 of these beauties and noKumbis if you can help it.

Steelies: at around 10+ mil in just about every server, thesestars are a powerhouse to have, you don't need them,but they are nice to have

Lv. 61 - 70: Steelies: get. NAO. You'll need at least 4 of these, checkBasil Market, or browse the FM's really carefully.

Tobis: Keep around 7 of these around in case you run out ofSteelies

Ilbis: possibility, but you'd only need 1 set, otherwise you'd bebroke and we wouldn't want that now would we?

Lv. 71+: Steelies: Gotta love em, have at least 8 sets of these by the timeyou are lv. 80

Ilbis: Ok, now these are looking cheaper no? Maybe splurge and get 2sets at most

Tobis: Good to have 2 sets to fall back on, but after lv. 81, sellthem and maybe use the money to buy another set of Steelies

-------

7d. LCK Equips Guide

Lv. 10 - 20: Use the Lv. 11 Tops from Lith, and Lv. 16 Pants from LithNOTE: If they are out, you can use Lv. 20 Robes from Showa

Lv. 21 - 30: Switch to a Brown Bamboo Hat at lv. 25, wear snowshoes, and guyscan switch to Camo Pants, also if you can scroll your Ragedy Capewith a couple 100% Lck Scrolls

Lv. 31 - 45: Grab a Maple Claw and switch to a Sauna with either all 100% LCKscrolls, or all 60%, if you feel lucky try a 30%/10%. Once you hitLv. 43, Switch to a Kandayo and scroll it with 30%/10% ATT scrolls


21/25

if you want a marginal lck increase with a great risk. Otherwise,stick with 100%'s and 60%'s.

Lv. 46+ : Interestingly enough, THERE ARE NO MORE EQUIPS without more DEX,Pure lck sins will encounter this problem, and until the Dexlessclaw comes out, or/and you get a Zakum Helm, you will have thesame equips for a VERY, VERY, VERY long time.

If you wish, the capes for lv. 50 and above are also viablescroll candidates, but they usually provide just as much lckand do not have the ragedy cape's bonuses.

10. FAQ ---------------------- [10FAQ]

Q. Why did you make this guide?


24/25

A. Because I got tired of seeing no Dexless sin guide out there and wanted tohelp out anyone who did want to make one of them.

Q. What's the point of Dexless sins?A. The are usually stronger than most ordinary sins but have to use either the

Maple weapons or a Garnier for a long time til they get a DEX robe or DEXequips. Also, it's challenging! It's also considered a "Broken" characterthat doesn't seem to work in the long run without a ton of luck (not a pun)

and patience.

Q. Why not just buy scrolls and lck equips intead of Dex equips?([email protected])

A. As of Guide V. 1.15, I have included a Lck Equips guide as well, but thepoint of getting Dex equips was to upgrade your equips to the next level.Also, it's near impossible to get 100% Lck cape scrolls cheap since theyare drops, not scroll maker bought. Also with Dexless sins, you won't beable to equip ANYTHING higher than a Sauna after Lv. 30 unless non-dexequips are released. While there is a dexless claw, it will take a VERYlong time to get to the appropriate level (

Q. Can I host your guide on my site?

A. Please ask for permission first or I will bring the full power of the lawupon you.

Q. YOU SUCK, YOUR GUIDE SUCKS, GET A LIFE!!!A. I'm just trying to help other people out. If you have a problem with this

guide, then don't read it.
