For the 1st job advancement talk to the Thief guy in the Fusion Bar and get all the marbles from one of the maps to the right or left of kerning. If you look you'll get there. Bring those marbles back and bam you're a bandit.
First of all, you should add 1 Savage Blow. Savage blow gets stronger than Double Stab at level 8 or 9. For your skills points you should go mixed between mastery and savage blow. They fixed Savage Blow so that it's stronger than it used to at the lower levels.
For your higher levels
Lv 31: 3 Mastery, gives a really good boost to damage
Lv 32: 5 Mastery, 2 Savage Blow
Lv 33: 7 Mastery, 3 Savage Blow
Lv 34: 9 Mastery, 4 Savage Blow
Lv 35: 11 Mastery, 5 Savage Blow
Lv 36: 13 Mastery, 6 Savage Blow
Lv 37: 13 Mastery, 9 Savage Blow
Lv 38: 13 Mastery, 12 Savage Blow
Lv 39: 15 Mastery, 13 Savage Blow
Lv 40: 17 Mastery, 14 Savage Blow
Lv 41: 19 Mastery, 15 Savage Blow
Now your mastery doesn't need to be maxed till later, you can focus on Booster and Savage Blow.
Lv 42: 3 Dagger Booster ( Half a minute)
Lv 43: 18 Savage Blow
Lv 44: 21 Savage Blow ( Hooray 6x?)
Lv 45: 6 Dagger Booster ( 1 minute good for a while )
Lv 46: 24 Savage Blow
Lv 47: 27 Savage Blow
Lv 48: Maxed Savage Blow
Woo your mastery is now pretty good and your main attack is maxed =)
Time to max Haste and Booster!
Lv 49: 3 Haste
Lv 50: 6 Haste
Lv 51: 9 Haste
Lv 52: 12 Haste
Lv 53: 15 Haste
Lv 54: 18 Haste
Lv 55: Maxed Haste, 7 Dagger Booster
Lv 56: 10 Dagger Booster
Lv 57: 13 Dagger Booster
Lv 58: 16 Dagger Booster
Lv 59: 19 Dagger Booster
Lv 60: Maxed Dagger Booster, 2 extra points into Dark Sight, Darksight is maxed.
Now all your main skills are maxed! Savage Blow, Dagger Mastery, Haste and Dagger Booster. Now you can start maxing your 1st Job Skills. 10 more levels of Skill points left, 30 points =).
I don't recommend wasting points to become a sin dit, to be honest, your new skills are going to be more flashy then L7.
I hated putting points into steal, it's a super waste of time. Just go with Endure. I also regretted maxing Disorder, kinda useless. Won't really do much good for ya, Lv 13 in this is still pretty decent.
Lv 61: 3 Endure
Lv 62: 6 Endure
Lv 63: 9 Endure
Lv 64: 12 Endure
Lv 65: 15 Endure
Lv 66: 18 Endure
Lv 67: 20 Endure, 4 Disorder
Lv 68: 7 Disorder
Lv 69: 10 Disorder
Lv 70: 13 Disorder
(20) Double Stab, (20) Nimble Body, (20) Dark Sight, (12) Disorder, (20) Dagger Mastery, Savage Blow ( 30), Haste (20), Dagger Booster (20),
(20) Endure.
Now from level 10-70 that's 182 points.
Now for your Dex and Luk for 2nd Job. I highly suggest that you go low-dex, or str or you'll find out that your damage will be very low.

Time to choose what AP Build you want to do
If you need a new dagger get a Diamond Dagger and equip str clothes, ex. 2str top, 2str bottom. At this point you should now try to decide what you want to do with your dex and str. First, let's get your fundings down straight. If you are poor with less than 50 mill you should go STR bandit because you won't need to get a godly MS Shield. You can still get a Khanjar this way. Somebody with more funding than 50 mill but still not over 250 mill you should go low-str semi low-dex build and equip a Dragon Khanjar at the end. A regular STR bandit can also get a Dragon Khanjar. Somebody with over 250 mill funding should try to go low-dex and use a Blood Dagger for there final equipment. But rich people don't be hypnotized, a STR bandit can still out damage a Low-Dex if it has funds. Dexless have gotten weaker over time but if you aren't going to get past 9x+ you should go dexless. This also has to be played in with all of my other statements of adding in dex in this guide. You'd have to wear noob equips for early 1st job and depend on Korean Fans, Saunas, Maple Wagners, Diamond Daggers, Fans, Maple Asura Daggers, and Kebobs. If you go dexless just keep adding LUK no matter what.
STR Bandit For Stat Distribution
You should distribute to STR bandit so that you're ready for a khanjar at lv 80.
At lv 50 you should have: 70dex, 4str, 4int, (??) Luk
51: 5 Luk
52: 5 Luk
53: 5 Luk
54: 5 Luk
55: 5 Luk

Lv 74: 5 Luk
Lv 75: 5 Dex
Lv 76: 5 Dex
Lv 77: 5 Dex
Lv 78: 5 Dex
Lv 79: 5 Dex
Lv 80: 5 Dex
Now, 30str, 100dex. Get a ZHelm and Deputy Star.
30+20=50 Str, 100+20=120
Get a Luk Top of any kind you want.
Get a Dex Bottom of any kind you want.
Get a 10 Str Cape of any kind you want.
Now for Low-dex low-str, Follow the STR Build till lv 67, then follow this one.
Lv 68: 4 Luk, 1 Str
Lv 69: 5 Str
Lv 70: 5 Str
4+11=15 Str Base. I wear a Khanjar and will wear a d khanjar with a 15 str base.
Lv 71: 5 Dex
Lv 72: 5 Dex
Lv 73: 5 Luk
Lv 74: 5 Luk
Lv 75: 5 Luk
Lv 76: 5 Luk
Lv 77: 5 Luk
Lv 78: 5 Luk
Lv 79: 5 Luk
Lv 80: 5 Luk
For this build you should get : 80 dex Base+ Zhelm(15)+ Deputy(15) 8 Dex Earrings + Lv 80 7 dex Red Pirate Boots, 7dex 4-5 str lv 90 or lv 100 boots. Then you need 3-4 str 4-3 luk Green Mystra gloves any attack. Preferrably a 6-10 str cape of any kind. Then you want a 15-20 str Top. If you need more dex get 10 dex earrings and then 10 dex shoes. When you're a higher level you should add more to your dex base if you HAVE to for a D khanjar.
Now for Low-Dex
Just add 2 levels of 5dex and add the rest to luk FOREVER. That's a 80 Dex base. You need 60 dex bonus for a Blood Dagger. That's why this is for people with more than 250 mill+.
