Welcome to my Bandit Guide

Welcome, fellow Mapler, to my Bandit guide! I hope that you will learn much from this guide and pursue your dreams in becoming a Shadower! Good luck and have fun in your journey as you aim to become the Bandit everyone will look up to!

Bandit

The Bandit is the 2nd job advancement for Rogues who chose to use daggers over a claw and throwing stars/knives. The Bandit is a a fast and agile class that uses weaker, yet lightning fast attacks to down enemies. Due to the short range of their weapon of choice, Bandits are forced to get very close to their targets. A Bandit's skillbook contains skills that play up their strengths.

Pros

Gets Savage Blow at 2nd job, which attacks the enemy up to 6 times when maxed
Meso Explosion does a HUGE amount of damage
Acquires Haste at 2nd job, which boosts players' speed and jump
If you have a lot of mesos, a Bandit can be the MOST powerful job to you
Gets skills that can help players' get mesos easily
Gets flashy skills that you can show off to people
Acquires Shadow Shifter, Dark Sight, and Smokescreen, which is very useful when trying to avoid attacks
Taunt allows the player to get bonus exp

Cons

At max, Double Stab is weaker than Lucky Seven
Has to alot of damage since it needs to go up close to attack
Meso skills can drain your funds
Shadow Shifter, Venomous Stab, Assaulter, and Steal has a success rate
Chakra will cancel if hit by an enemy

Skills

The Bandit is a very unique job, with flashy and swift skills to support it. The Bandit has a couple of multi-hit skills that inspires others to make a Bandit.

Bolded Skill Level is the max lvl.

Bolded Skill in SP build means the skill is now maxed.

Beginner Skill Build

Lvl 1: You do not recieve any SP

Lvl 2: +1 Three Snails

Lvl 3: +1 Three Snails

Lvl 4: +1 Three Snails (MAX)

Lvl 5: +1 Recovery

Lvl 6: +1 Recovery

Lvl 7: +1 Recovery (MAX)

End Result

Three Snails - Maxed

Nimble Feet - 0

Recovery - Maxed

Why not max Nimble Feet? Because you get Haste at 2nd job, which replaces Nimble Feet.

Rogue

Icon	Skill Name	Description	Type	Mastered	Prerequisites
	Dark Sight	Use MP to hide behind the shadows. While hiding, the enemy won't attack, but you can't attack back either. All movements other than attacking are available. It's temporary, so after a while, you'll be back to normal.	Supportive	20	Disorder Lv. 3
	Disorder	Temporarily decreases the morale of an opponent. Its weapon def. and attack will suffer, and the attacking enemy will suddenly stop attacking. Can't perform the attack on an enemy that's already in "disorder," however.	Active	20	-
	Double Stab	Use MP to quickly stab an enemy twice in one attack, but can only be used if wielding a dagger.	Active	20	-
	Nimble Body	Increases accuracy and avoidability.	Passive	20	-
	Keen Eyes	Increases the range of attack when using throwing stars.	Passive	8	-
	Lucky Seven	Use MP to throw 2 throwing stars and apply damage based on LUK, regardless of the level of the character's Claw Mastery.	Active	20	-

Rogue Skill Build

Lvl 10: +1 Double Stab

Lvl 11 - 16: +3 Nimble Body

Lvl 17: +2 Nimble Body, +1 Double Stab (MAX)

Lvl 18 - 23: +3 Double Stab (MAX)

Lvl 24: +3 Disorder

Lvl 25 - 30: +3 Dark Sight

End Result

Double Stab - Maxed

Nimble Body - Maxed

Disorder - 3

Dark Sight - 18

Why only 3 on Disorder? Disorder is next to useless, compared to Dark Sight. Disorder is meant to decrease the amount of damage you recieve and increase the amount of damage you deal. But compared to what Dark Sight does, Disorder is useless.

Why only 18 on Dark Sight? There is not enough SP to max it.

Bandit

Icon	Skill Name	Description	Type	Mastered	Prerequisites
	Dagger Mastery	Increases the dagger mastery and accuracy. It only applies when the character has a dagger in hand.	Passive	20	-
	Endure	Recover an additional amount of HP and MP while hanging still on a rope or a ladder. The higher the level, the faster the recovery time, and the more HP and MP recovered.	Passive	20	-
	Dagger Booster	Use HP and MP to temporarily boost up the attacking speed of the dagger. It only applies when the character has a dagger in hand.	Supportive	20	Level 5 Dagger Mastery
	Haste	Temporarily improves the speed and jumping ability of every member of the party.	Supportive	20	-
	Steal	Enables the character to steal an item from an enemy with a certain success rate. Only one clean steal per monster, but multiple attempts can take place in the process.	Active	30	Level 5 Haste
	Savage Blow	Use MP to attack an enemy up to 6 times in a row with a dagger.	Active	30	-

Bandit Skill Build

Lvl 30: +1 Dagger Mastery

Lvl 31 - 36: +3 Dagger Mastery

Lvl 37 - 46: +3 Savage Blow (MAX)

Lvl 47 - 52: +3 Haste

Lvl 53: +1 Haste, +2 Endure (MAX)

Lvl 54 - 59: +3 Endure (MAX)

Lvl 60 - 70: +3 Steal (MAX)

End Result

Dagger Mastery - 19

Savage Blow - Maxed

Haste - Maxed

Endure - Maxed

Steal - Maxed

Dagger Booster - 0

Why only 19 on Dagger Mastery? The best percentage mastery possible is at lvl 19.

Why 0 on Dagger Booster? As much as Dagger Booster is a incredible skill, Savage Blow becomes your main attack skill seeing as it's very useful, and Savage Blow's attack rate is FAST.
