When to cap your dex?

Well i created my spearman over 4 years ago got him to lvl 42 then quit him. Im gonna start him up again due to quick leveling of BB, so my question is when should i cap my dex?

I think you'd probably have a better attack using a Alchu or VIP instead of trying to get 160dex. I have +120 dex, which means i would need 40 base. Though id much rather put that 36 points into Str and get +70 more str rather than a possible 10 more attack.

[quote=Hiraku]Pink Bean isn't that hard at all, it just requires coordination. The profit from doing it would be in the negatives if you count effort, so it's not worth it. It's like solo'ing Zakum at ~140 with average equips. Probably take 3 hours, completely easy, but not worth it.

and yeah, it's completely easy to get Dex but not because potential, it's mainly the extra stat boosting items that are out (rings, face, mouth, eye, pendant, medal).[/quote]

My bad, I don't know why I said potential equips when I mentioned pendants and what not in my post.
I was more trying to point out the fact that seeing as PB runs aren't so common, then weapons coming from a harder boss won't be very common either.

Good luck.
As for the level 130 weapon, with potential equips nowadays it's not hard to get the extra amount of DEX.
I'm not even wearing any specific DEX equipment, but between a Dep Star, Scar Helm, belts, rings, earrings I have something like +45 DEX.
If anything you'd want the Polearm anyway, it's Fast(5).
OT: 4 DEX. It's not that the bb system is not based on accuracy, it's just that accuracy is so easily obtained.
Hit rate is: floor(sqrtplayeraccuracy) - floor(sqrtmobavoid) + 100, take away 5% for every level you're under the monster.
You have enough accuracy from base stats and mastery alone to carry you through to 90 or so. A Zhelm/Scar would take you easily to 120+[/quote]

At endgame, ignoring PB and Malaysia/Singapore mobs, you only need 225 accuracy.
60 comes from Mastery, around 9 from base stats.
