Hey guys! Just joined MR and absolutely love it! Am going for a shad for first character (miss my old CB). With literally 0 funds how much Dex and Str should I put up to being high level? I probably won't have equips or funds, so just raw numbers or approximations are fine Thanks!
Stay dexless until lvl 100 or so, by then you will have a clearer image of how much dex/str you will have to add for your final dagger and shield. That's what I'm doing on my Ironman Chief Bandit at the moment.
Thank you Tim, but without any Dex at all I will have to stay with extremely low level daggers? Won't that affect my damage?
the Korean Fan (Lv.35), Maple Wagner (Lv.43) and Maple Asura Dagger/Maple Dark Mate (Lv.64) are daggers that do not require DEX. After Lv.70 you will either be training solo at gobies, hunting for BFs or duo Himes with a priest, all this training methods use Meso Explosion (ME).The damage of ME is purely based on the amount of mesos that you drop and the level of the skill (I THINK the only stat that has an impact in ME DPS is weapon speed, but all daggers hit the speed cap with booster so as long as you use a dagger for ME it is ok) so just save up money for when you are 120+ to get a decent Lv.100/110 dagger and Dragon Khanjar. Note: There are some other statless/low stat daggers like the Plastic Bottle (Lv.40) and the Liu Bei Dagger (Lv.54) But you don't see many of those around FM, either way you can do just fine without them so just skip them if you can't find them (specially the plastic bottle since it is only useful for 3 levels unless is a really good one).
