Hi guys! Just wondering if you guys could help me out with my transition. I have read most of the guides here on converting from dexless to a lowdex Hermit but Im still lost. Would appreciate if you guys could help me out here. Im a Level 104 Hermit and my current equipments are as follows: Brown Bamboo Hat +3 Luk White Seraph Cape +8 Luk Bathrobe +16 Luk Single Earring +10 Luk White Work Glove +8 wa Spiegelmann's Necklace +2 Luk Maple Skanda +51 wa, +4 Luk Shoes have no stats Total Luk: 43 Funds available: ~400m, not exactly funded. What would you advice be? What should my priorities be? I should probably highlight that I am currently HP washing, thus selling AP resets for mesos is out of the question. Much appreciated.
I suggest you stay dexless until you improve your funds a bit, so you dont have to buy as many resets for you dex later. But some obvious upgrades would be Zakum helmet (dex scrolled if possible), switching earrings for dex ones, getting a lvl 80 top and bottom with as many total stats as possible, getting a deputy star and possibly some thief shoes with 10+ stats or more for a cheap sum.
Go for a zakum helm first, as Blasphemy said. A decent scrolled one will give you about 30 dex to start with- add onto base dex of 25 and that's already 55 dex. To wear a craven you need 140 dex, to wear the level 80 bottoms you need 120 dex. So, your first goal is to reach 120 dex- and then 140. If you increase your base dex to 75, with 30 from a zhelm will bring you to 105 dex. another 5 from a deputy star and that's 110 dex already. Get 10 dex earrings (They're not too expensive, someone can give you a price check I'm sure) and then you're at 120 dex- enough to wear the thief bottoms. Get a set of bottoms (dark/red pirate bottoms are most common) that are about 15 dex for now. Later on you'll want to go for higher, for end game, but for now we're just aiming for a start with room to improve later. Hunt at GS2 for a while and pick up some decent dex ones and scroll them, or look around for some that are already scrolled. You don't want to go too crazy here- for now 15 dex is more than enough until later when you'll go for end game stuff. So, to recount: 75 base dex, 30 dex zhelm, 10 dex earrings, 5 dex from deputy star, and 15 dex from bottoms brings us to 135 dex. You still need 5 more to wear a craven- which is your mid term goal. You can go about this a few ways. The easiest way is to get some shoes scrolled for jump/dex until you get some facestompers later on. 5 dex shoes shouldn't be hard to find, nor hard to make. You can also swap out your LUK cape for a dex cape, or a clean pgc. A 10 luk cape is almost equal to a clean 2 attack cape (it varies slightly depending on a few things, but its a close estimate). Or you can gach at Showa or Sleepywood and hope for a clean 5 dex leaf, which is a face accessory. Later on you can join Horntail runs and Krexel runs for an Almighty Ring and a Horntail pendant- which will allow you to lower your base dex further. To make this easier to understand, you should upgrade first: Zakum helm (To about 30 dex) 10 dex earrings (Sell the 10 luk earrings) Deputy Star Then from there, save to get 15 dex bottoms. I'm not sure of a price because I had to make all my gear, being female. Then try to find a way to squeeze some more dex out of equips. Gach for a maple leaf, get a dex cape, or get some shoes. If you have the rudolph nose from the christmas event, then there's your 5 missing dex right there. Also try to get a 10 or 11 attack work glove in the meantime. Theyre not too expensive right now I believe, and it'll last you until late game when you start going for a 13/15 attack scg or better.
