Alright, Im going to keep it as short as possible..

Long story short, I just recently started Maplestory, And I am interested in making a Dawn Warrior, KoC character...Between Hiddenstreet and Sleepywood, I have probably spent about 3 or 4 hours on looking at guides and such...However, I still feel like I am at square one, so to speak..I have NO FUNDING whatsoever, And I am unsure at what point I should cap my Dex...One guide I read said no higher than 30, And then again by reading the posts of others here...People have a VERY hard time hitting mobs their level with 40+...What I am really looking to find out is, Without any other buffs, "Sniper Pills", Etc. I am wondering what I should leave it at, I don't want to have to scroll my equips in order to make a cut-off point for the requirements of my weapons, and other clothing...If so, Is it possible to do so WITHOUT gimping my damage.

Nearly forgot, I seem to be looking between several first/second job builds that all also gimp out a certain skill...Can somebody explain this to me?

Thanks in advance,
