I'm lv97 and have been more or less following the nl guide in this forum, which claims I should have around 50DEX at lv50, base. From there I should try and get to 120DEX with great, which currently doesn't seem realistic to me at all since I'm not sure about: 1. Which order to upgrade - do I need first get cape, shoes, zhelm, and only then I'll be able to wear top/bottom to reach ~120DEX eventually? 2. Finance - I only have 230mil. It''s not a lot but I'm wondering how can I min/max my situation in terms of damage. I want to keep grinding stronger mob but it would be really helpful to do more damage, even if I don't have 5bil to invest in the best gear. I keep trying to get money with gacha, drops, selling apr, but until then, what can I realistically do right now? My current gear: pirate gat +15 dex +14 the rest no face acc 10luk earrings balrog shoulder pad +3 luk +2 the rest 9att wg sauna +18 luk overall 1 att + 8luk pink adv cape spiegelmans necklace +2 all except +1 dex 6 luk 48 att pyrope skanda +6 int +6 luk circle of ancient tought +2 all beach slippers no belt Thanks for any suggestion
You should scroll your pirate hat or get a Zhelm and scroll that, quite a bit of easy extra dex. At lv 120 ideally you'll want to get HTP, although you might be low on HP if you haven't been washing or doing Olaf. Keep in mind the dex from balrog pad is currently bugged and won't help with equipping gear Consider swapping to dex earrings when you need them for red craven Go do some solo dojo, get a white belt (should be pretty fast, early dojo isn't hard) and 100% (blue) that 3x Get married and start trying to join APQ for mesos
You want 140 Dex, not 120 ! Get a Zhelm asap Drop some NX at either Showa or Sleepy for a Dex or Luk Maple Leaf You can easy scroll 10 atk gloves yourself 1 atk, 8 luk is kinda mid. Would either suggest going for a Dex Cape (red musketeer can get to 8 dex clean) or a snipe a cheap 4 atk cape with less than 5 slots (someone failed a cs on it) and just throw some cape dex 60 on it. Silver Deputy Star is +5 all stat, a lot better than spiegelman Snipe some cheap YSS and throw Shoe Jump 60 on it. Also a lot better than +2 Beach Slippers What is your top/bot or Overal? a Dex Bathrobe can help out a lot. Atm Miwok gives Gold Emeral Earrings that yield some Dex, they are pretty cheap right now so you can easily get yourself 10+ dex ears. In general its better to get your secondary stat from gear (dex). At 4rth Job you'll have Maple Warrior and it only boosts base stats.
Sorry for noob question, what is HTP? I finished the 4th olaf and did the ellinia +500 hp quest. Other than that, no washing. Will try to get zhelm asap. will check out dojo, thanks. fogrgot to menion i have overall +18luk. Thanks for the suggestions. One thing I'm not quite sure about it the timing. If I start getting DEX gear right away, wouldn't my dmg be lower until I actually get a red craven or whatever? I mean, should I swap everything all at once, or just as I go along and find good deals?
HTP = Horntail Pendant, Its +22 All Stat (up to 28 if godly) Until 4rth job it doesnt really matter if you go dex or luk on your gear. From 4rth job, because Maple Warrior, it does. Forgot to note, once you look to switch to a Red Craven. It pretty much worth to get any amount of base Dex to be able to wear one. I think the author of the guide says you should look to not get more than 50 is that it is easy to reach 140 base dex for relatively little meso. And if you need more than 50 base dex than you should revaluate your gear as something is probably lacking behind. Like forgetting belt or ring slots. For reference, this is a screenshot of my Ironman (no party, no trade challenge) NL's clean stats (no buffs) I do not have a zhelm and manage to get 150 Dex (for DPS) with only 48 base Dex also never had any base Int for washing, the HP is just Olaf, questing, pets and some gear. I have a 17/9 Hat. A Zhelm would easily be about 30-35/17. To compensate I am using 13/6 Thief Shoes instead of FS with Atk. (Also because for Ironman getting decent FS is insanely hard) To show you thats its not that hard to get 140 Dex. Equips I am using: Spoiler No Zhelm because fuck that (17 dex, 9 luk) Hat (9 Dex, 3 Luk) Xmas Nose (6 atk, 3 Luk, no Dex )Anni Pendant is the best Irons can get since no PQ or HTP Raccoon Mask is clean (gotta farm some boss for eye dex/luk scrolls) (5 atk, 5 dex/5luk) pgc (13 Dex, 2 luk anni ears) (3/6/3/3) Blue Belt 16 atk scg (7 Dex, 24 Luk) Top (16 Dex, 8 Luk) Bot (13 Dex, 7 Luk) Shoes 0/0/0/6 RoA (no Dex) 7 Luk Miwok 8 Dex Miwok 1 atk, 3 All Stat Valentine Ring +5 All Stat Quest Medal 71/10 DPS
took about 200m of purchases and failed scrolls, but i was able to achieve 49base dex and reach 140dex using: 22dex pirate hat 3dex branch nose 10dex earrings 2dex balrog, even though I had to learn the hard way it was bugged and doesn't count 3dex spiegelmans 5dex 23luk brown china 8dex 2att pink cape 3dex ring 1dex white belt 16dex 8luk bottom 6dex 8luk 8att gloves 13dex 1luk shoes need to improve shoes, gloves in the future. for the 150dex glove maybe I need 30dex zhelm or something, but at least im able to use a red craven now. Thanks for the help!
