dave has like 4or 5 lv50s lol.. and as for the lvl the minimum for ds is 50 but it would be hard as a mofo to get it then, as for me i got it at 62.. or 82 rb i dont remember im leaning to 62, and id suggest you get to the point where you can do any quests with friends it becomes extremely easy and it saves money and food depending how much back up you got
