I'm a mac user, and have had troubles with Parallels Desktop. I was wondering if there are any night lords out there who are low-dex (about 40 to 60 base dex) and have managed to find enough dex equips to wear the craven without a zhelm. Can anyone put down their equips and stats?
To wear a craven with low base dex and no zhelm, you'd need something of an equivalent of at least 30-35 dex from a helmet somewhere else if you wanted to go with a top/bottom. You could go with a high dex robe instead of a top/bottom, but you miss out on the luk from a top (and dex overalls can be harder to come by and more expensive). Though I question how you'll be able to get TT if you cant survive enough to get a zhelm o: TT10 is a zakum drop as well.
Don't give up an zhelm just yet! You can run Maple in a VM, as detailed here: http://royals.ms/forum/threads/how-to-horntail-without-graphical-glitches-closing-your-client.16643/ It'll take an hour or two to set up, but that solution should work whether you have a mac or not. If you're having trouble getting VMware or Parallels to work, you can try VirtualBox, which is basically the same thing. At snowman, I often have two characters trying to get a present at the same time, one on my computer and one in the VM. The character on my computer often lags and can't attack enough to get a present, but on the VM, I lag much less and always get a present.
