Ok hope this edited version is a little softer on the eyes. I couldn’t figure out how to make a table of contents but hopefully it’ll be ok ~


Useful Information


• To fund a successful 4 base dex warrior, you will need at least 250 mil mesos.
• A base dex of 4 + 4 base luck = 5 acc. This means that 100+ accuracy has to come from equips and skills alone.
• A base dex 10 warrior gets only a 5 acc boost as compared to a 4 base one, meaning you’re still going to end up paying just about the same as a full dexless character.
• For the rest of the in-depth guide I will assume that the warrior in question has 4 base dex, and later (at the bottom) I will discuss the costs of other possible low-dex bases.
• In all my accuracy calculations I will add 10 because any low dex warriors should always train with (cheap) sniper pills.
• For all the female warriors out there, I know that it will be harder to find overalls that are decently scrolled as compared to men's overalls. You just gotta be patient and wait for one to appear or you can try scrolling one yourself. Scrolling can be risky though, you can either end up over or under your budget, so it's up to you if you want to take that risk. (tx to m112193 for pointing this out)
accuracy calculator
• 1 luck = .5 acc 1 dex = .8 acc For example 10 luck = 5 acc and 10 dex = 8 acc
• At lvl 100 (typical himes starting point) you need 125 acc to 100%, 119 to 90%, and 113 acc to 80% them. At lvl 95 (for low dex or dexless characters) you need 149 acc to 100%, 142 to 90% and 135 to 80%.

Lvls 1-10


I'm assuming you can get to lvl 10 pretty easily.
• Training:
All snails, slimes and those small mushrooms can be hit 100% even with 5 acc.
• Equips:
Whatever you started out with.
• Cost:
Basically zero.


Lvls 10-15


Still no biggie. Just keep pumping str.
• Training:
Slimes, orange mushrooms, green mushrooms, axe stumps.
• Equips:
Brown bandana - You will use this until you get a zhelm so one with 5-7 acc is suggested. Work glove - this is entirely up to you, but unless you are absolutely desperate, do not use a dex wg. This is a very bad idea. The more money you can spend on your wg the better, but I'd say anywhere from 8-12atk would be ok. 13-15 means you have way too much funding *jealous* and 6 atk means that you probably shouldn’t be going dexless. Get a lvl 10 weapon but keep your previous armor it won't make much of a difference. Also, at lvl 10 the frozen tuna becomes a possible weapon choice if you so choose. It's a little pricey, but if you can find a 65-70 atk tuna your damage will be incredible at these early stages, though imo you don't really need a lot of damage until later on. The good thing about the tuna is that you could potentially use it up till lvl 40 or higher meaning you don't have to switch weapons for a while. There are a couple of downsides. Fighters and pages without pa mastery (the tuna is a polearm) may have stability and/or acc issues using the tuna from 30-40. Its slow speed is also unattractive. However, it's still an okay option for ppl with a little extra cash in the early lvls.
• Cost:
The brown bandana shouldn't cost you much more than 2-4mil. Your atk wg can range anywhere from an 8 atk to a 15 atk. Most dexless warriors I have encountered said they used a 10 atk, which seems like a pretty nice average. 10 atk = roughly 45-50 mil. Pots shouldn’t cost you more than 10k for these 5 lvls. For those willing to buy the frozen tuna a decent one will probably end up costing roughly 10-20 mil.
*Tx picochu*

Lvls 15-20


Make sure you got max hp increase asap!
• Training:
Same thing really. Green mushrooms, slime trees, orange mushrooms, axe stumps, etc...
• Equips:
You still shouldn't need any extra acc to hit these monsters. Switch from the lvl 10 to 15 weapon. Upgrade your armor if you'd like. For the ladies, get the lvl 15 overall and scroll it 100% for dex. Use this instead of the kendo at lvl 20.
• Cost:
Close to zero. Pot cost should be minimal; nothing that important is happening during these lvls. Steel Fitted Mail overall + 10 100% scrolls = 408k


Lvls 20-25


Kpq time!
• Training:
KPQ is a great option, but requires more dex to be able to hit things. Horned mushrooms and zombie mushrooms are now an option if you don't mind the extra pot costs.
• Equips:
To be able to hit these new monsters you will want to buy a kendo robe and a fish spear. Base acc = 5. Fish spear = 4-5acc. Dana = 5-7 acc Kendo robe = 9 acc snipe pill = 10 total = around 36 maybe. You need 10 more acc to be able to 100% the KPQ ligators around those lvls. You can get this from a raggedy cape scrolled with dex or from scrolling some shoes with acc. It would be easier to just train at ant tunnel until you can 100% kpq stuff.
• Cost:
Kendo robe with 100% dex scrolls = 415k. Fish spear = 300k


Lvls 25-30


Ant tunnel galore……
• Training:
Pretty much just kpq and ant tunnel still. You can also go to wild boars which require very little acc to kill. Bring all cures though because the jr. boogies there will curse you in every way imaginable.
• Equips:
All you need is a pumpkin spear. It gives +15 acc so it's really helpful for KPQ. You can scroll it 100% for spear atk if you want but you don't really need to. Keep your brown bandana, kendo, wg, buy some lvl 25 shoes, and you should probably have a 5 or so dex raggedy cape by now.
• Cost:
Pumpkin spear = 200k (7 atk scrolls = around 500k more) 5 dex raggedy cape = no more than 1mil


Lvls 30-35


Gratz on 2nd job!
• Training:
Evil eyes are nice xp during these lvls. So is ant tunnel from 30-32 and wild boars are also good. Another option is teddies, ratz, and black ratz in ludibrium.
• Equips:
Buy your lvl 30 weapon but keep the pumpkin spear in case something needs a little extra acc. You also will need a nice pair of acc snowshoes. acc, not dex, is important here. 9-10+ acc is required, as you will most likely be using this shoe for quite a while. You should also upgrade from the kendo to the lvl 30 black robe. Keep everything else; just make sure you upgrade your shoes and overall.
• Cost:
10 acc snowshoes go for around 25-30mil. Robe + 10 100% dex scrolls = 470k.


Lvls 35-40


Max Mastery ASAP! Pure mastery is needed at these lvls. At most you can spend one lvl up adding 3 booster but that’s it!
• Training:
Now I know that at these early lvls ludi pq gives about 30% per pq, but this is only a good option if you can find high lvl parties to pq with cause you aren’t going to be doing a lot of damage to those high acc monsters in there. It's also an incredibly foolish idea to try and raise your acc that high at such an early lvl. Not to mention, ludi pq is highly inconsistent xp! You might be able to do pq after pq after pq w/out any troubles. But in my experience it is way more common for someone to log out with passes or have passes and jump into the 8k damage golems or dc with passes etc..... My advice would be to stay away from that and instead head over to carnival pq and participate in lvl 40 and under battles. The xp there is great; just make sure you win. Other options include block golems which should be great xp if you can do enough damage. At lvl 35 you should have.... 6 acc from brown bandana, around 26 total acc from overall, 10 from sniper pill, 10 acc shoes, 4 acc cape with a base of 5 acc and +4 so far from mastery which comes out to a grand total of 65 acc. Therefore you should start to cpq (stages 1-4) from about 37-38.
• Equips:
It is absolutely imperative that you get a very nicely scrolled dex chainmail at lvl 35. (Other warrior overalls work too). I'm talking 20+ dex and 10+ acc. This is a huge source of acc so the more dex and/or acc the better. Don't be cheap; get a really nice one because it will last you quite a while. I'd say by now you should probably be 100%ing all your weapons, but it's really not that important to have good weapons for now. You'll be lvling so fast you won't know what to do with the weapons you're not using anymore.
• Cost:
20 dex 10 acc overall (yours might be better) = around 30-40 mil.


Lvls 40-50


CPQ time!
• Training:
3 words, one acronym. CPQ! At lvl 40 you should have an additional 16 acc from whichever mastery which means you should be able to hit just about everything in the cpq (maybe except for master chronos which you should hit decently at about lvl 42-45.) If you ever get bored of cpq, you can head out to block golems which by now should be great xp. STDs also make for amazing xp during these lvls (40-50% an hour) and jr. kitties are always an option so you have quite a bit of selections here. It is highly recommended to stay at cpq for at least a few lvl ups. You can end up making a lot of money if you can get a decent spiegleman necklace and scroll it.
• Equips:
You may or may not want to scroll your lvl 40 weapon. I would recommend 100%ing it and waiting until 43 to get a very nice maple weapon. (2h swordsmen I would recommend buying the 1h lvl 43 maple sword just in case you can't hit a certain monster). If you are not a 2h sword user, the lvl 43 maple weapon will be very, very useful to you. If you manage to get one with around 80 atk you can use it until lvl 60 easily. If you are using the 2h axe, 2h bw, pa, or spear maple weapons, aim for 75-82 atk. 1h soul singer users you'll probably want to aim for around 72+ atk. Keep cpq-ing until you can trade in for a spieglman necklace. They give an extra couple of stat points and they're free!
• Cost:
Lvl 40 weapon + 7 100% scrolls = 950k. 80 atk big maple weapon (bw, axe, spear, pa) = around 10mil. Atk 72+ maple soul singer around 8mil+


Lvls 50-60


Now is when you really start to dish out some nice numbers.
• Training:
Now that you have a zhelm and a PAC + YAC cape combo, your training spots start to blossom. Gryphons will be ridiculous xp. As will FOG and STDs. LMPQ is also a great option. Rush orbis pqs were always fun back when I was 5x but they're not as popular now. You can also go to jr. yetis and hectors in El Nath. As you get closer to lvl 60 you might try your hand at v/hoodoo but ONLY if you can consistently deal out 2.5-3k damage on them which you may not be able to do until you get your lvl 60 weapon. If you can, get rdy for the best xp of your life!
• Equips:
As mentioned before, you will be getting a zhelm. Hands down, no questions asked, this is the single most important equip you need to be dexless. I'm not sure what each world sells them at, but I'm pretty sure most worlds have prices hovering around 50-60 mil on average. (Correct me if I'm wrong please). If you want to maximize damage, get a PAC. Keep in mind though that PACs are extremely expensive for only 2-3 extra atk. This atk can be made up by using elixirs instead of any other atk pot, so make sure you have the cash to spare if you're going to get one. If you would like to be more practical, a 9-12 dex YAC would also be a great buy, but only having both would give you the optimum versatility. You're options are: 2-3 atk 4-6 str or dex PAC, 9-12 Dex or Str YAC or both. I would recommend getting an atk cape as the monsters you'll be training on (for now) don't have much avoid so it's either str YAC or dex/str PAC depending on your financial constraints. At this point (unless you are using your lvl 43 maple weapon still) you will want to start buying decently scrolled weapons.
• Cost:
Lvl 50 weapon decently scrolled = 5-10mil (if you're not using your maple weapon). Zhelm = 50-60mil PAC (2 atk) with 6 str or 6 dex = 50-60 mil PAC (3atk) with 6 str or dex = around 100 mil YAC with 10-12 str or dex = around 20mil


Lvls 60-80


V/hoodoo madness….
• Training:
At lvl 60, you shoud have +40 acc from zhelm, 5 base, 10 from sniper pill, 8 acc from a 10 dex cape (if you decide to use one), 26 acc from overall, 10 from rss, 20 from mastery and extra 1 point of acc from your spieglman necklace which = 120 total acc. Now with the advent of the 3rd anniversary lvl 64 maple weapons training gets a lot easier here. The +35 accuracy is absolutely life-saving if you're having trouble meeting your acc totals, but remember not to rely too heavily on maple weapons; you can't use 'em forever. With a maple weapon your acc can jump to 15x, which is WAY overboard for golems, v/hoodoos, gryphons, etc... Even 120 acc is more than plenty to train on all your 60-80 monsters. You should be at Fog, v/hoodoos, gryphons, krus/captains or water goblins. Note that these lvls will be the worst because each map has a problem with it: Fog doesn’t give enough xp, v/hoodoos are too crowded, the gryphon map is frustrating to try and navigate, krus/captains have a ton of health, and at the water goblin map those samihos can curse you reducing your xp. However, once you hit 80 things get a lot better so just tough it out.
• Equips:
Definitely get decently scrolled weapons for all your subsequent multiple of ten lvl ups; this might mean spending anywhere from 5 to 30 mil. (You can always spend more or less depending on your financial constraints / other equips). Try and aim for a 95+ atk maple weapon if you plan on using it until 80. You don't need to upgrade anything else for a while, just make sure you sell back the weapons you're done using so you waste as little money as possible. From 60-70 you should also start to look for a pair of dex earrings. Anywhere from 6-10 dex is acceptable. You should have a pair by lvl 70-75 because you’ll need them once you hit lvl 80 and beyond.
• Cost:
Lvl 6x and 7x weapons can vary, but remember that you're starting to use weapons for longer and longer periods of time, so don't be too cheap. A respectable 93-95 atk or more maple weapon can cost you as low as 8mil to has high as 15-20 depending on the weapon. 2h swords will, as always, be the most expensive. A 100-102 atk can go for up to 30mil+, while 96-97 atks will be around 2x mil or so. Other than spears and 2h swords, prices should actually be pretty decent. PAs, 1handed weapons, and 2h axes and blunts are decently priced. A 9x atk one can be as low as 8-10mil. 7 dex earrings have served me very well and I got mine for only 15mil. 8-9 might cost more like 40-60 mil and 10 dex can cost up to 80 mil. Don’t look for earrings with more than 7 dex unless you truly have sufficient money to spend on them w/out sacrificing in other areas. Remember, upgrading your weapon 2-3 atk would be much more efficient than spending money on dex earrings regardless of your acc.


Lvls 80-100


Congrats, you just finished the warrior “hell levels.” *confetti is thrown into the air*
• Training:
Wolf spiders are a great place to train once you hit 80; however, the pot cost is substantial. Wolf spiders hit very hard, and the only way to turn a profit is to find one of their valuable drops (ilbis, screamers, etc…) so some people might make millions while others lose as much. At lvl 81 I can make 25% an hour which in my opinion is pretty decent. Most people use 2x xp so that’s a lvl up every 2 hours. Ghost pirates are an option, but they hit almost as hard as wolf spiders (wolf spiders don’t have a magic attack but Dual and regular ghost pirates do) and don’t bunch up as nicely as wolf spiders do. I’ve also seen a bunch of hackers in the dual ghost pirates map which sucks… At 85 blue kentaruses are an option but are best for wks, Dks can head over to MDTs with a priest, and crusaders… well…. we kind of get left behind (for now). Blue kents drop fairfrozens so if you find one that pretty much covers your pot costs. Dk’s should be training with a priest so their pot costs should also be minimal. As you get closer to lvl 90 you might want to consider heading to gobies with a priest (This is best for DK's and Saders). If you’re damage is good enough the xp is amazing, especially with holy symbol. From 90 and on you will pretty much live and die at gobies until you can head on to dreamy ghosts. For WK's it'll be a little different. Gobies aren't as good of an option because they are actually STRONG against fire which sucks. WK's can come here if they have a decent amount of lightning charge, but should probably stick to Blue Kents/Duals until 9x at which point wyverns become an option so many WK's will end up not training at gobies.
• Equips:
At this point, the only thing you will need to upgrade is your weapon. At lvl 80 and onwards it becomes very important that your weapon be as strong as possible because you won’t get to use a different one for a substantial amount of time.
• Cost: Well scrolled lvl 80 weapon: around 15mil Upgraded lvl 90 weapon: around 20mil You should try to find an atk weapon you would be happy using until 120. Most heavily funded weapons start spending upwards of 100 mil on their weapons. It's recommended you always spend as much as possible on your sword; it is after all your primary source of damage.


Total Cost Results


• I will focus on equips and assume that pot costs are more or less covered by picking up mesos + equips dropped by monsters.
• Except for your lvl 1-40 weapons, any scrolled weapon can be bought and sold later on for the same price if you’re patient enough, so I will simply leave a 100 mil cushion for weapons. However everyone is different, some people may never spend more than 20 mil on their weapons, so I will put two different cost totals.
• For some equips, I will take an average, or what I think would be reasonable to buy and what most warriors end up buying in terms of stats and prices. If you see any flaws in my prices or I simply didn’t add something up right please point it out

atk wg (8 atk) = 25,000,000
atk wg (10atk) = 47,500,000
Brown Bandana (6 acc) = 3,000,000
Lvls 1-30 overalls + 100% dex scrolls = 885,000
Decent overall (20 dex minimum) = 35,000,000+
Godly overall (25 dex minimum) = 120,000,000+
10 acc or more red snowshoes = 27,000,000+
5 dex raggedy cape = 1,000,000
Weapons budget (heavily funded) = 100,000,000+
Weapons budget (moderately funded) = 50,000,000+
Zakum Helmet (crowded server) = 35,000,000-40,000,000
Zakum Helmet (less populated server) = 50,000,000-60,000,000
I'll use an average cost of 45 mil in my calculations.
PAC (2atk + 6dex/str) = 55,000,000
PAC (3atk + 6dex/str) = 100,000,000
YAC (12 str/dex) = 25,000,000
I’m going to average the 3 capes (you really only need one) which = 60,000,000
7 dex earring = 25,000,000

• Total (moderately funded) = 271,885,000
• Total (heavily funded) = 429,885,000
• Remember that everyone’s total costs will vary. Some people might be very good sellers / buyers and patient enough to wait until they can find a decently priced weapon or equip. Others would rather pay for more and sell for less just to keep things moving. Some people might be extremely lucky with equip drops, others not so much, (like me) so it’s not an exact measurement. If your weapons budget ends up being higher or lower than what I used, you can adjust your total cost accordingly.


Low-Dex Warriors


• Obviously, many people don’t have hundreds of millions of mesos to fund a character. Raising your base dex can help significantly with accuracy problems and cost of dex equips.
• Remember, you don’t need to be dexless to have above average damage. I have 75 base dex and out-damage many 10 base dex warriors simply because I spent money on atk equips rather than dex ones.
• For all warriors with 20 or more base dex, I will use some averages in calculating total costs so your results WILL vary. If you don't think you'll be using a 10 atk wg (or don't have the money to buy one), and would rather stick with something closer to 8 atk, subtract 20 mil from your total costs. If you manage to find a well scrolled atk warrior glove, which cost tons less than scrolled work gloves, simply subtract the difference in prices from your total.

20 base dex


• With 20 base dex, you will have a base accuracy of 18.
• Going with 20 base dex will require a zhelm, godly overall, good atk wg, acc snowshoes, and a decent dex cape.
• No dex earrings required.
• Notable costs: 45 mil zhelm, 35 mil overall, 27mil shoes, 30mil cape, 50 mil for weapons, 45 mil 10 atk wg = 232 million mesos
• Accuracy Totals:
At lvl 50, (1-40 pretty much the same for all low/no dex warriors) you should have 18 base acc, 40 acc from zhelm, 26 from overall, 10 from shoes, 8 from cape, 10 from sniper pill, 20 from mastery, +1 from necklace = 133 acc


30 base dex


• 30 base dex will give you a base accuracy of 26.
• A zhelm will be necessary, as will a godly overall, decent snowshoes and a nice atk wg.
• No dex earrings or decent dex cape needed.
• Notable costs: 45 mil zhelm, 35 mil overall, 27 mil shoes, 45 mil wg, 50 mil for weapons = 202 million
• Accuracy Totals:
26 base, 40 from zhelm, 26 from overall, 10 from shoes, 10 from pill, 20 from mastery, +1 from necklace = 133 acc


40 base dex


• 40 base dex = 34 base accuracy.
• A zhelm is not necessary*
• You will, however, still need a godly overall, good snowshoe, good atk wg, and a decent cape.
• Notable costs: 3mil bandana, 35 mil overall, 27 mil shoes, 50 mil from weapons, 45 mil glove, and 20 mil cape = 180 million
• Accuracy Totals:
34 base, 6 from brown bandana, 26 overall, 8 from cape, 10 from shoes, 10 from pill, 20 mastery, +1 from necklace = 115 acc

*You can buy a zhelm if you want, but if you don’t it is still possible to have a decent amount of acc. If you get a zhelm, you will want to save money on other areas, as in no dex cape, speed instead of acc shoes, etc… As a side note, scrolled wisconsins and bandanas are getting to be pretty cheap. A 20 acc total helm can cost as low as 10-15mil now that zak helms are so readily available. This can substantially raise your acc total.


50 base dex


• 50 base dex = 42 base accuracy.
• No zhelm needed.
• All you really need is a very nice overall, some acc shoes and an atk wg.
• Notable costs: 35 mil overall, 3 mil bandana, 27 mil shoes, 50 mil for weapons, 45 mil wg = 160 million
• Accuracy Totals:
42 base + 26 (overall) + 6 (dana) + 20 (mastery) + 10 (sniper pill) + 10 (shoes) + 1 (necklace) = 115 acc

*See the above note about cheap acc helms under the 40 base dex section.

I won’t go any further as 50-70 (and above) base dex is now no longer considered to be low dex. I hope someone who read this gained some helpful information and comments / constructive criticism is always appreciated. Thanks!

Disclaimer


Some people have pointed out that many dexless warriors will end up spending anywhere from 500 million to 1 billion mesos on their character. What with godly weapon costs, even better equips than the ones used in the guide, atk shields and what have you... this is a reality for some people. HOWEVER; this guide is mainly for those would would like to experience a dexless character WITHOUT having to spend such ridiculous amounts of funding on their character. This guide shows the very MINIMUM cost to make a successful dexless warrior, but in no way guarantees that this will be the most damage you can do with your funding. In many cases, it is much more cost effective to have a higher base dex (60-80) and spend all funding on simply power-boosting equips. Like I said earlier in the guide, I have 75 base dex which is considered to be higher than average nowadays. However, I spent money on a zhelm, a very nice atk wg, a STR top, an Atk Cape, and a Godly Weapon (instead of buying acc shoes, dex overall, dex earrings, etc). In many cases I out-damage low dex warriors. Please consider ALL of your options before assuming that making a dexless warrior (no matter what equips) will have the best damage possible.

Other Options


WolfJounin has brought to my attention an alternative route to going dexless without having the necessary funding first. This is for people who are unfunded but still want to pursue the dexless warrior path:

"It is possible to go completely unfunded dexless or 50 dex Stone Tooth, but it will take a lot harder work (You might have to train on lower level areas, use a weaker weapon to keep up with the accuracy, or have to rely on bless to train in the later levels) and determination, but in the long run you will be better than average dex warriors and just as good as your low/dexless kin. Depending on how good you are at merchanting, how lucky you are with scrolling, or how lucky you are on getting drops, your gear might catch up to you as early as 70, but as late as the 140's. It is a lot easier to go dexless as a BW/Axe user, second easiest is to do it as a Spear user (or hybrid, because of sky skis and tendency to train with priests). Sword users have the option of using a claymore/red katana or a Stone Tooth sword (but with 40-60 base dex for this option, unless they want to use a normal weapon until 150+ when they receive a horntail pendant). One can always reset dex as they get the necessary gear, but not everyone is willing to spend some money (or a lot) to reset their dex. The most important thing for an unfunded dexless user is to buy a zakum helm as soon as possible (50-80, before moving on to high accuracy enemies). Going unfunded is no cheaper than being funded, but instead of having money sitting next to you for whenever you want to buy a certain piece of gear, you have to earn it or manage without it until you can buy it. There is one other important thing to keep in mind, server prices on dex gear/zakum helms vary from each other, and gear/scrolls will always inflate and deflate."

Tx for pointing this out. Plz refer to him if you have any questions about this.

I see where you're coming from but it seems (at least to me) that it would be beneficial to procure the funding first, then make the character. That way you're not constantly spending time merchanting when you could be training and you never have to wait to be able to buy the necessary equips. Either way it would take about the same amount of time but this way you could always be focused on training and not making more money.

You are right if the person doesn't have access to NX, as they would at least spend an hour a day looking up auctions/meeting up with basilers/spamming in the FM. If the person has an nx shop, it would take roughly 2-3 quick sessions a day of browsing the later FM rooms for 15-20 minutes each time, then opening your shop with what you found for a cheap price while you are away/go to sleep. I know I can make a few mill on my first day in maplestory if I had an nx shop without any funding as a dexless Fighter/Page, but that might be because I know how the market works. I agree, it will be challenging to go dexless/low dex unfunded, but what I'm trying to say is, it is worth it in the long run and it is very possible to do so and eventually catch up and surpass the unfunded normal dex players.

The whole reason I'm bringing up this argument is the first listed useful information in your guide stating "To fund a successful 4 base dex warrior, you will need at least 200mil mesos. ". I'm not simply trying to prove it wrong, I just don't want newer players to be completely discouraged and believe they will HAVE to need at least 200 million mesos to manage a dexless warrior. In the long run, every class will spend millions of mesos, most likely not as much as a dexless, but eventually every class DOES need the big bucks to train. Considering how cheap zakum helms are, even with the higher scroll prices, and all the new training options (some with lower accuracy requirements), it probably isn't as hard to go dexless/low dex as it was during the time I made LordRaid.

Actually, i have 25 dex, am using a 14 dex overall, 1 acc shoe, 3 dex maple helm, 5+ acc glove, and at lvl 50, im training at jr yetis which require 90 acc to kill efficiently. So in reality, i dont need all those godly equips.

Alright Wolf you've persuaded me. I'll put a little addition in the guide.
And lonesoldier while for now you may be doing fine with 90 acc or less when you eventually get to lvl 80 and beyond the acc requirements shoot up tremendously and without nice equips you simply won't be able to train. It's better to be prepared and shell out the money to buy good equips for the earlier lvls so when you reach the higher lvls you don't get blindsided.

^I do have money, it's just that i dont need it yet with a good soul singer and a lvl 65 sword scrolled waiting for me. 34+ acc is a nice bonus too.

Exactly. With the new pqs and weapons it's quite easy to skate by in 2nd job with minimal acc equips and without spending much. But Wolf Spiders and Duals and MDTS and the myriad of other monsters that should be trained on past lvl 80 all require 100+ at least acc and sometimes people hit lvl 80 and all of a sudden realize they need to start shelling out the money for better acc stuff.

The only addition of equipment necessary to move to the level 80-100 areas is a Zakum Helm (pretty cheap in most servers). For even higher monsters, one will have to upgrade their gear in no specific order (depends on their gear), but it isn't as simply or cheap as the Zakum Helm.

What about them? Face stompers are an absolute luxury and in my opinion completely worthless. They cost 100+mil and add a measly 2 atk. A clean warrior shoe with 3 str on it already has 1 attack so if you're willing to spend 100mil on 1 atk point then be my guest. With that much money you could easily upgrade your sword 2-4 atk which would be much more beneficial. Not to mention low dex and dexless warriors will want to get the 10 acc from a scrolled RSS or other shoe which will be much more helpful. Face stompers (if scrolled) are usually scrolled for dex which not only makes them twice as expensive but it also adds less accuracy.

Prices have changed. It would cost more to fund a dexless now.

No offense, but it is time to edit the prices, a 3 att clean PAC is 70-80m and a 6 dex is like 100m. The overall is a little more expensive too and so ar the shoes.
