How to Increase My Bandit's Damage

Hello Basil I have returned to maple and have started training my dit again but I seem to be very weak.
I am currently a level 63 luk dit but plan i to convert to str around lvl 80 because i wouldn't be able to afford a common attack shield.

So i'll start off with my base stats:
4 str (+26)
71 dex (+38)
4 int (+32)
256 luk (+29)
range: 644 ~ 1083

And now my equips:
[b]Zhelm[/b]
str 14
dex 18
int 17
luk 14
9 slots
Pot: rare 3 lines 70 mdef and 3 int
[b]Mushroom Kingdom Medal[/b]
2 to all stats and 100 hp and mp
[b]Celestial earrings[/b]
Pot: rare 2 lines 2 to all stats and 8 to acc
[b]Old raggedy cape[/b]
2 str
2 int
3 slots
[b]Brown China[/b]
1 dex
5 luk
[b]Light scorpio pants[/b]
3 dex
[b]dep star[/b]
5 to all stats
Pot: rare 2 lines def and avoid
[b]Work Glove[/b]
8 att
[b]White belt[/b]
1 to all
[b]Green goni shoes[/b]
5dex
[b]Jurgen Wristguard[/b]
1 dex
[b]Deadly Fin[/b]
81 att
0 slots

I have a [b]White gaia cape[/b] for lvl 65
Pot: rare 2 lines 8 dex 14 acc

I am rather poor but I have 6m in mesos and
60% GFA x 3
60% Claw Att
60% Bow Att
30% Shoe Jump
30% Earring Int
30% Top Luk
30% 2H Sword Att
30% Cape Dex
70% Shoe Jump
60% 1H Sword Att

I am open to any suggestions and advice.
Thank you in advance.

[quote=DarkQuill]Only thing that could use a boost is the Deadly Fin, but it's not worth dishing out for one now anyway.
Your cape is fine, don't bother scrolling it. Save for a Pink Cape with Luk on it.
Also consider doing the level 50/55 quest for Thieves allowing them to get a free set of level 60 armor; pretty sure you'd be able to get something better than your current bottom, at the very least.[/quote]i just checked out the quest and the pants don't seem that amazing, it's just the fact that i seem to have too much dex the pants from that quest are like 2 luk

[quote=Oxy12]How does it seem weak with all of that nice stuff on? I think you're just power hungry.[/quote]during 2x i saw two bandits both lvl 66 doing around double the damage i was doing(they were not using the maple weapons or fan) so they were obviously funded but it felt like i was way too far behind damage wise and these days my stuff is probably below average
Also could i get some broan prices on the scrolls

ok so from alot of the responses it seems that i should wait and aim for good potential higher lvl stuff.
well when i stopped playing it was around the time that potential came out, so does that mean i shouldn't aim for dex equips and instead just get luk potential and add dex and str where needed?

[quote=Holiday000]Just FYI, dkhanjars aren't cheap anymore. avg price is 400m+
But as for now, don't worry about damage, since it doesn't matter til after you're level 82(ish) because then you go to typhons or himes, and that will affect your training speed. Just sell all of your scrolls, and save the money for a regular khanjar, a luk top, and a 2 att 6+luk PAC.[/quote]
well cheap for their attack i don't see another attack shield going for 400M for 15 attack

[quote=pyronoob1994]Get your butt to lvl 80 and gain full potential equips. Doing such will give you an awesome boost If you plan to go high potential %, you can decide to go high base stat. I have 102 dex and i'm about to add str to around 34 but my range is 2073-3607 mainly from % luk. The beginning lvls before 80 will not matter at all and at lvl 71 you'll be bombing elder wraiths, which could be done with a lvl 10 fruit knife Big bang is almost coming so just level up and hope for the best I guess.[/quote]
where did you train/level up at level 63

[quote=mikeybowkid]For me, I've been getting dex equips, and aiming for luk potential. Just try to make it so that you can get to the 80 top and bottom and your weapon. Other than that, I don't believe that you need to get anything else to get full potential bonuses. Really, it depends on your funding and what and how your endgame equips are around. Don't worry too much right now, since you can level pretty quick after big bang. Sooner, as you get to around 80 is when you should start gather up gear. But this is my opinion, and i've never played with a bandit before, so don't take my advice too seriously if someone else has experience in this.[/quote]

hmm that seems pretty similar too me the only thing is that i need to get some str in there too because i'm going for a dragon khanjar at lvl 120 becasue cheap attack shields are pretty awesome.
yeah so i think i will aim for a nice amount of dex and str from my common items

[quote=Kewk]Ren, I would suggest either selling all that stuff, getting a new dagger, or waiting for after Big Bang. Dits will not be as weak as they are now post-Big Bang, so your training to lv70 will be FAR easier, and 70-120 FAAR easier too.[/quote]
i meant weaker than other dits my level but i do plan to sell all those scrolls so i need ides on what to upgrade more so longer term items.
Thank you all for the help so far
