I'm pretty much new to (x)bowman and I would like to find out what gear should I use since I want to be low-str. And can you tell me your equips while you at it? Thank You!

It's a bit inconvenient to go Low Str from the start. Just look for any equips with Str on them instead of Dex. Don't go out of your way to buy them though. If Dex is cheaper, get Dex.

thanks but what are the regular basic equipment low dex xbowman wears though? do they wear common top/bottom with str on them or do they wear they wear something else. i want to be low-str since i read others about how they are stronger than str-less.

You shouldn't worry about capping your STR until third job at least. Unless you intend to go Super Low STR which doesn't help at all (just means you'll need to find more STR equips than DEX) you won't be capping your STR under 60/70. Once you're there you should think about the last bow you'll need to equip and factor in equipment you don't own yet (Zelm, Pendant, etc etc). For example, my STR is currently capped at 65. I get 16 STR from my equipment to have 80 (81 total, 1 useless) to wield my Raven. I don't intend to raise my STR further if possible, and so to equip my next Xbow I'm going to get a Zelm which will add 12 STR at least more than my current hat. That'll let me use a Casa and then I can get a STR Shoe or something to get the last 5 for a Neschere when I get there. The lower your Base STR the more STR equipment you'll need. I wouldn't try to cap it under 50 unless you have some super godly STR overall or something to use.
