Before you bleed your eyes into a fine powder, this was done without pang buffs. Do note that the first one, in blue, is a strength build. The second one, in green, is a dex build done without pang buffs.
Note: You will be waaaay stronger with pang buffs and these builds will probably boost your damage and attack speed better then most builds.
Note: I take no responsibility for this build/guide. Do not thank me for creating this.
Level 15
Your stats should be:
Str - 20
Sta - 15
Dex - 38
Level 20
I'd say add some more Str and some Sta, it will be useful if you happen to get aggro'd on by more then one, or get hit with some crits.
Your stats should be:
Str - 25
Sta - 20
Dex - 38
Level 25
By now you are probably missing quiet a bit and should probably get some more Dex. Put your points into Dex until level 25.
Your stats should be:
Str - 25
Sta - 20
Dex - 48
Level 30
You should be fine with missing, or atleast much better than before. You might need some more Sta and Str, so go 'head and split the 10 points in half. 5 into Sta 5 into Str.
Your stats should be:
Str - 30
Sta - 25
Dex - 48
Level 35
Your survivability should be pretty decent with 25 Sta, so lets get some more Str and Dex. Again split the 10 points in half. 5 in Dex 5 in Str.
Your stats should be:
Str - 35
Sta - 25
Dex - 53
Level 40
You shouldn't have much problem missing at all now, 50~ Dex should be more than enough for accuracy. By level 40 monsters are starting to crit higher, so lets get some Sta and Str. Again, split the points in half, 5 in Sta 5 in Str.
Your stats should be:
Str - 40
Sta - 30
Dex - 53
Level 45
Since your Sta should be fine, and your hit rate should also be fine, go for more Str. Put all your points into Str. IF you can, get the 45 set (Pangrill for males, Stitch for females) and a Sword of Silver Sword (SoSS). They will give you an additional 30% Aspd. The SoSS says it gives 5% Aspd.
Your stats should be:
Str - 50
Sta - 30
Dex - 53
Level 50
Only 10 more levels 'til your job advance. At this point you I'd suggest to just get your Sta to 40 and raise your Str a bit more. Split your 10 points in half, 5 Sta 5 Str.
Your stats should be:
Str - 55
Sta - 35
Dex - 53
Level 55
5 more levels 'til you can become a Blade! Now you need to get to your speed break. Add 5 points into Sta so you don't have to worry about that anymore and 5 points into Dex.
Your stats should be:
Str - 55
Sta - 40
Dex - 58
Level 60
Now you can do your second job advance and become a Blade! You should've been adding your points into Dex ;p At level 59 you should have 66 Dex and 56% Aspd. That's the speed break you want. Simpley put the 2 points you got from level from 59 to 60 into Str. You don't have to worry about Sta or Dex from now on. You should be fine most likely.. Just keep adding Str.
Your stats should be:
Str - 57
Sta - 40
Dex - 66
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 15
This should be really straight forward. Pump Dex like crazy in the beggining. Put all your points into Dex after you become a Mercenary.
Your stats should be:
Str - 15
Sta - 15
Dex - 43
Level 20
Keep pumping that dex for a while, put all your points into Dex until level 20.
Your stats should be:
Str - 15
Sta - 15
Dex - 53
Level 25
Okay now put Dex until level 22. Your Aspd will increase by 1%, it's not much, but it's something. It should be at 52% Aspd. Put the rest of your points into Sta, as you probably need it pretty bad.
Your stats should be:
Str - 15
Sta - 22
Dex - 56
Level 30
Lucky you, you can now do the quest to get the Entanale Sword(sp), this will give you a very nice boost in damage, the only downside is that the durability goes down pretty damn fast. Anyways, you should get more Sta and more Str. Split your 10 points in half, 5 Sta 5 Str. Right now your accuracy shouldn't even be an issue at all, just your damage and your Sta.
Your stats should be:
Str - 20
Sta - 27
Dex - 56
Level 35
This is going to sound crazy but add more Dex, you can do whatever you want actually, this is just if you want to get Dex out of the way and start pumping Str and Sta. If not, you can go your own way, this is after all just a backbone to help with your characters progression. The speed break is at 66 Dex, but you don't get it yet. You will get the speed break ALL the way at level 53.. However, if you don't wanna wait that long. You're free to put one more point into Dex to have 67 Dex. Giving you the speed break way before level 53. I'd suggest doing that, but it's entirely up to you. You will need to level up to level 36 to have one more point to get 67 Dex, you can put the extra one into Sta. The below stats are going by the original plan (see where this comes in as a guide? You don't have to follow it, everything is up to you depending on how you want to level etc..), keeping Dex at 66 so you don't waste that 1 point into Dex.
Your stats should be:
Str - 20
Sta - 27
Dex - 66
Level 40
You're almost at level 45 now, which will make your life much easier once you reach it (if you have the 45 set and SoSS). Get some more Sta and Str, split up your 10 points. 5 Sta 5 Str, you can do this which ever way you want while leveling up to level 40, you can either get the 5 Str first or the 5 Sta, which ever you need. This goes for ANY of the levels, which ever you need more (where the points are split) get that first.
Your stats should be:
Str - 25
Sta - 32
Dex - 66
Level 45
If you have the 45 set and SoSS you're probably crying of happiness about now. You will have around 80% Aspd total if you have both the SoSS and the full level 45 set. Get your Str up now.
Your stats should be:
Str - 35
Sta - 32
Dex - 66
Level 50
Only 10 more levels 'til you can become a Blade now! It might get a bit slower leveling if you are leveling by yourself. Split your points so you can get rid of your Sta and focus on leveling up your Dex. Put 8 points into Sta and 2 points into Str. Before you get to level 55, you will finally get your speed break at level 53 with 66 Dex, which will be a nice thing.
Your stats should be:
Str - 37
Sta - 40
Dex - 66
Level 55
You're nearly there! And the only thing you need to do now is keep pumping Str.
Your stats should be:
Str - 47
Sta - 40
Dex - 66
Level 60
You can now become a Blade! Keep putting your points in Str, even after you've become a Blade. You should be fine with 40 Sta and your 66 Dex.
Your stats should be:
Str - 57
Sta - 40
Dex - 66
And you're done.
