    I'm a lvl 104 Dk and I'm taking around 2k dmg from himes. I'm using a 26 dex bathrobe so i dont have much defense.

    I'm not sure but I believe warrior equips don't have a dex requirement. Those have better def bonuses and you could hunt for a godly bottom and scroll it to 20ish dex. A godly warrior top should also provide you with some dex and str.

    Oh like a blue neos right? What about for dexless sins? Would they have to use bathrobes permanently and take alot of damage?

    Yes, correct. Blue Neos is a good example.

    As for your second and third questions: yes, kind of. A sin, starting from level 10 up to early 3rd job or early 4th job, would typically wear a LUK scrolled bathrobe -or INT items if he's HP washing and/or leeching but that's beside the point-. However, 'true endgame' for a Night Lord means being able to wield a craven/sleeve while staying lowdex or dexless. This can be done with a nicely scrolled Zakum Helmet, Horntail Pendant, Dex Earrings, Face accessory and other worn items (scrolled with dex). Most people aim for level 70-80 gear (top and bottom) and scroll their bottoms with dex.

    Think about it this way:

    DEX required for Craven: 140.

    Now lets imagine you had the following gear/AP:
    Base 40 dex (Required to job advance as a thief)
    (Scrolled) Zakum Helmet: 30 dex.
    (Scrolled/Clean) Maple Leaf: 10 dex.
    (Scrolled) Dex Earring: 10 dex.
    (Scrolled) Bottom: 20 dex. (Lets say level 80) (12o dex required)
    (Clean/Godly) Top: 10 dex. (Lets say level 70) (110 dex required)
    (Egg'd) HTP: 20 dex.
    (Clean) Broken Glasses: 1 dex.
    (Clean) Krex Ring: 2 dex.

    Total: 143 dex. Typically, endgame means wearing attack shoes, cape and gloves but I suppose you can throw in a 10 dex cape, some low level thief gloves with dex on them (scrolled for attack) and some jump (dex) scrolled snowshoes / thief boots).

    Also, I wouldn't keep an eye on def much. Most people HP wash in order to avoid dying easily during boss runs. I'm sure you'll be able to find some guides on HP washing by checking the forums.

    Ok thanks. Also, my only source of accuracy are my z-helm and bathrobe. I use purple surfboard when im mob training. Somehow I can attack himes but I miss when i attack a Memory monk (Lv91). I can hit them with a Soul spear because it gives accuracy but I since I mainly use my surfboard, how should i compensate for the accuracy?

    You could try to get dex/accuracy items. I don't know much about warrior classes but you could:

    - Scroll your zhelm, dex scrolls 60% are 2.5 - 3m each atm.
    - Use your gacha tickets in Showa for a chance of getting a DEX Maple Leaf (and scroll it)
    - Try to get a racc mask with high accuracy (not sure if you want to scroll it as they are worth quite a bit clean or INT scrolled).
    - I guess you could scroll some warrior shoes with dex/jump scrolls too. That could be enough.


    I'm not sure if warrior equips have DEX and accuracy bonuses but I guess you could check around.
