re: MapleStory Community


You have your information wrong X, last equipment is Level 120, Dex160. And yes, it is worth it.

Reverse Lampion:
Att 54
LUK +8
Lvl Att 0-2, Luk, 1-2, Dex 0-1, 3 Levels

Timeless Lampion:
Att 56
LUK +8
Lvl Att 0-2, Luk, 1-2, Dex 0-1, 5 Levels

re: MapleStory Community

I was right about the level... just not the dex.



So should I cap at 160?

You're you're going Fulldex.

Lowdex would stop probably around 130, depending on what you use.

Like I said X people stop using better armor around at the 80-100 sets.

re: MapleStory Community

You get "stat bonuses" from wearing certain equips.
Therefore if you can cap stats and still use higher leveled equips.
Let's say you cap your dex at 110.
You get a z helm(+15Dex), a nicely scrolled pirate top(+15Dex), Average scrolled pants (+10Dex), That one necklace (+5Dex), and BSS (+5Dex).
Sure all that stuff costs a hefty sum but you get a +50 dex boost from it.
110+50=160
You'd have just enough dex to wear the last claw.

The one problem I have with that:

Why buy a DEX Scrolled item?

110 Base DEX + 50 DEX from equips = 160 Base DEX and 0 from equips. DEX isn't worth more if you fetch it from equips. The point of Low DEX is taking advantage of bonuses from equipment so that you're not wasting points, not gearing up in as much DEX Scrolled gear as possible.

If you end up replacing a DEX scrolled equip with a better DEX equip after already capping your DEX, you have to buy AP resets in order to 'save those useless points'. If you replace a LUK scrolled equip, congratulations on having more attack. Go spend the money Mr. DEX did on a hat or Gacha or something.



More complicated math that takes into account things like Zhelms:

Note: Numbers are average LUK Scrolled, not exact, not godly. For instance, the average high-level thief top gives about 3 DEX Clean.

code
Equip   LUK    DEX
Hat      15     15
Top      15      3
Bottom   15      3
Shoes     3      1
Gloves    2      0 (Yay Purple WG)
Earrings 10      0 (If there are LUK Earring Scrolls, believe there are at least)
Belt      5      5
Pendant  10     10
Weapon    7      0 (Mamba and Green Dragon Sleeve are the only DEX Natural weapons past 70 I believe)
Total    82     37


So by going Low DEX, this man can save 37 points. What if he scrolled that Top for DEX instead of LUK? He would:
code
          LUK    DEX
PreTotal   82     37
New Top   -15    +15
AP Reset  +15    -15
Total      82     37


So $30 out the window if he was already capped, and either way no actual change. A smaller change (Like, +/-4), could be used as a model for the poor man who upgrades equips as a DEX Scrolled Low DEX.

re: MapleStory Community


The simple way to summarize above posts:

quote SAD
You need a total of 160dex to wear level 120 gear. However, if you buy equipment scrolled for DEX, as well as getting things like a Zhelm that give both LUK and DEX, you can use the boost in DEX from those equips instead of your actual dex. So instead of needing 160dex on your character itself (referred to as base dex), you only need around base 110dex, letting equipment give you the last third.
quote Me
Using boosts from things like Zhelms that give both LUK and DEX is a smart idea, using DEX Scrolled equipment is not. -Insert lots of rambling about why I think so-

re: MapleStory Community


That would be classified as Full DEX, and is generally a bad idea unless you like having a chunk of extra accuracy, instead of a chunk of extra attack power.

What we're trying to say is you dont need the armor just the 120 weapon.

re: MapleStory Community

Oh ok.


I'm guessing I should get a Z-helm and horntail necklace?


If the HN is available for KoC...



But what about other equips?

re: MapleStory Community


Good luck getting an HT Pendant

You'll probably end with a Narc for a KoC.

Equips are what you want them to be. Weapon matters most, top/bottom not so much. I stopped upping my actual clothing pieces at level 80 because I like the look.
