Ok I currently have a level 75/44 Assasin and he is doing ok but of course could be a lot better.

Now his current BASE stats are as follows / Followed by proposed end Base stats

Str 50 / 94 (JLvl 48 Gives +6 to make an even 100)
Agi 83 / 90
Vit 10 / 20 (Sorry about the first 9 here, did that early on)
Int 01 / 01
Dex 32 / 33
Luk 11 / 11

Currently I planned to get the agility up to 90 so I could hopefully get some Rogue Treasures to help out then bring the Str upto 90 for same reason. The last point/s into Dex and Vit will be done last.

I figure this stat build would be good for either a DD sin or Crit sin. Mostly going the DD route for lvling and PvM though.

The reason I am not maxing either Str or Agi is that it would take to much away from anything else. I feel that having the Vit/Dex/Luk in moderate amounts to be a bit better for survivability and progress.

Currently I have some halfway decent DD equips with a +5 VVVS Damascus (Have access to an Endower for buff or Converters) and some +7-+10 MG4's carded (Quad Hallowed, Quad Saharic, D/D Wind/Brute, Quad Blood and 2 or 3 more). Other than 2 Clips of Muscle and a Dragon Tail Carded Hood (Borrowed from my hunter for now) my equips are negligent. Just some regular non-slotted upgraded gear. +5 Goggles/Boots, +2 Thief Clothes.

I am currently trying Make & Save up some $$$$ for the Ice pick of course. But just a bit curious. Is a slotted Ice Pick that much better? What card would you put in it?

Any other suggestions for Equipment/Weapons would be greatly appreciated. Keep in mind that I only have a few mil to work with atm.

I would not bother with the rogues treasure set, and instead stop putting anything into agi, focus all my points into strength until i had my final strength. The final strength should be based on the gear you will be wearing when transing it, which means probably +2 str upper headgear, supers if you have them, and accessories depending on what you're able and willing to get. This makes a large difference in what your final strength should be - since the point of a sin is to become a sinx, who cares if you're building it specifically for the gear you'll be using lvl 9x - it'd not like you need flexibility for pvp gear or something, that's what you do when you trans.
I'd keep points on hand (unspent) in case I had to jack str up, until I was 9x and had my final gear setup. If you're on Ymir, you might want to get a little more dex so you'll be able to hit goats better for hunting zeny (I think it's >6m/hr on sin now), and I'd also want to add more vit after you're done with strength. I think you have more than enough agility for now (i mean that literally, you put too much agi too early).

Don't bother going for slotted icepick. I've had s.picks, never actually carded any of them.

You should get a standard +2 str headgear, and if you're using that for armor, you'd honestly be better off with unslotted pantie/underwear (and long term look towards slotted ones once you get the pick - slotted undershirt eliminates the need for more 7x agi on thief class)
