After the potential scrolls, enhancement scrolls and such was released, % equips kind of made it so much easier to get DEX equips so yeah :/ Is a Red Craven user with 65~70 base DEX still pretty good/decent?

Considering that you can get around 60 dex from optimal equips just as secondary stats: (Helm, % Luk HTP, Medal, Belt, etc.), I would say yes, it is still good, but the well funded may want to look into dexless craven usage.

Okay thanks. Nah, I'm sticking to low-DEX craven user seeing as I don't want the majority of equip stats based on DEX, or that will seriously kill my range as it would be better to have maybe a bit or equal amount of DEX and LUK equips.

Yeah, it's still good. I'm living off 80dex and using a Lampion so 55-70 is great for a Craven but then again, it all depends on how much potentialed items you can afford to make up the missing DEX

I'm going to have to go with no... but it seems like everyone else thinks differently.

You could go lowercause you seem funded but it's pretty decent.

Well, it depends on your funding. Low funding? 60-70 is fine. 70 + 17 (scar) + 3 (medal & glasses) + 5 (belt) + 5 (neck) = 100, with any amount of cheap potential equipment for shoe / top / bottom, you'll easily hit enough for a craven. High Funding might even consider 60 or so, since pouring your money into a perfectly cubed 9% luk item is better than getting a few more dex points.

"if u can get extra dex,do not get it and slots left of ur items use them with luk,". This is grammatically incorrect so it's hard to understand first of all, secondly, not every item can be scrolled with LUK. The base DEX of a character does not really matter anymore since potentials can easily overcome that. Generally, a LowDEX will pump points into DEX until reaching the 6x-7x base stat but that all depends on your claw usage and funding. Either ways, having DEX, not having DEX or having some points on DEX are all equally fair.

Uhm, you want to save your potential stats for % LUK, not DEX. 3% of 65 DEX compared to 3% of 600 LUK? might as well raise Base DEX and get 3% LUK. IMO, Potential made people raise their Base DEX. I immediately sold my DEX Earrings and raised from 40 to 60 DEX to prepare hunting for good Top/Bottom and LUK Earrings. It's much more beneficial to raise Base DEX to wear %LUK Pirate Top/Bottom than to wear the old 30 DEX Overalls, etc.

With a higher DEX, you can focus more on %LUK equips, which makes up more than 100% of the points you placed onto your base DEX.
