Aim for total ACC of 225 after BB. Formula for ACC will be changed to: dex * 1.2 + luk + (ACC from equip). So dex is 1.2 ACC n luk is 1 ACC instead of 0.8 ACC for 1 dex and 0.5 ACC for 1 luk. Get a zhelm once you reach 50 and go hunt grizzly for potential ACC earrings, they will give from +12 to +36 ACC. If you are lucky they might even have % str potential too. * Hi Hi Ky Ky *

As long as you have enough ACC to train then its not a problem. With all the potential equipments now it should be easier to get more ACC anyways.

As low as possible. If you're BW, dexless. If you're sword, you can afford to add up to 40, though I'd still recommend as low as possible. The reason why swords can have dex is because that would give them access to Stone Tooth or Night Raven Wing, which is faster than other 2h swords, but need 120 and 90 dex respectively to wield (total dex, so you can use some dex gear, and things like Scarlion/Zhelm give both str and dex). Its possible to use both of these dexless, but extremely expensive (I'm talking +1 HT pendant for starters, meaning it isn't realistically possible even until level 120, unless you have at least 10 billion mesos to convernt to nx to reroll items for best possible potential.).

I think I'm gonna keep my base dex 40 so far I got a dex 10+ bathrobe L<10dex earring and 10dex gloves

Good, 40 base dex is the perfect maximum you should have. Don't go for 10 dex gloves unless it focuses on w.atk. How is this possible? 8-10 w.atk gloves, potential them, or find gloves with 10 dex, and scroll them. If it ends up 6 or more, you're good. Just make sure you take advantage of that 40 base dex and use Dark Ravenwing or Stone Tooth as your final weapon.

I had 60 base Dex (now 52) and was perfectly content with it. The amount it takes from your damage is negligible, really. 40 should be just fine though. I really don't see much need for Dex equips, besides maybe your overall. A Zhelm at 50 will throw on 39.5 accuracy, which should let you slide for a while. Meanwhile, 10 Dex earrings probably will cost upwards of 20m for just those. Grab a Maple weapon instead. And, yes, Dex gloves are trash. The point of being Dexless is to not sacrifice damage. Also, from my understanding, post-Big Bang, accuracy will be more reliant on level than personal accuracy. Granted, I could be mistaken. One last thing: it's a long way away, but you'll need 173 accuracy to 100% hit Oblivions. Even with my 52 base I currently have only 173 accuracy (thanks to Potentials inspiring me to change my equips around).
