Low Dex Thief
If you have been playing for a while, know how to make mesos and find the best training spots for your character, then try to do this type of characters.

Thief with 25 dex and only add LUK


 * Been done, doesn't work. You'll be stuck stabbing pigs or something 'cause you can't hit stronger things. --82.203.155.143 18:50, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * The LOW DEX VS NO DEX thieves might work. But, thieves need DEX.  The NO DEX is just a shot in the dark, but the LOW DEX might be a little worth trying.  For warriors, DEX must be kept low as possible and you just add to DEX if you want to hit harder monsters earlier.  ~Mandraken


 * True, that build doesnt work, you want a equal, strong build that will give power to your chractors job and lets you equip the items for your levels. ETC ,If you have an equip item which requires 50 dex and 30 luck at level 25, and you are a dagger theif, it is most wisest to get up to those ability points and then add luck to increase avoidability and damage.I have a Throwing star theif, and i increase its ability using a speicial rule. ( starting from level 13)
 * STR and INT should be low as possible. ( 5 or lower) DEX should be two times your current level. EVERY OTHER ability point goes to your luck.This way you hav enough dex to wear Theif items at proper levels and also having enough accuracy, And you will have enough Luck to optimise avoidability, and Damage.You can always create your own speicial build, which makes your charactor unique. ~SwiftPanda from maplestory
 * Fine build shift panda, but I decided to do a hybrid thief which has lucky seven maxed and choose bandit as the 2nd job. The problem I have with my thief is I wanted it to be a str thief.  I am short 4 points at level 40 to use my str dagger.
 * lvl 40 str 29, dex 77, luk 110
 * I can move the numbers around and have enough dex at lvl 40, but that would mean my str would be 4 points less to 30. So, to make my job easier, I would need to wear gear that gives me those ability points at lvl 40 and hopefully I can catch up at level 41. ~Mandraken from maplestory
 * WOW, lol never thought of a hybrid theif, very strange..
 * so, u use daggers and claws? I would prefer a luck bandit my self, as luck, when you are a theif, greatly increases avoidability,and damage.
 * o.O never heard of banditsins? They're pretty hard to use and expensive, but yet pretty fun and versatile. Recommended stats are obviously DEX and LUK. -Ryuugaki
