[quote="GHOSTLORD"][quote="HANGUS"]Does anyone know what to to get better dex %? and is they a hunting guide for dex aswel pls? they is a big dex slow down at 65 anyone know why this is pls.[/quote] Every stat has slowdowns at specific points. It's the same for each stat I believe, 65 is a big one. Generally you'll see % per dex decrease as you level up, untill you hit the next big slow. Make sure you hunt a mob that gives you good stats (compare you stats to theirs on the armory). Also when aiming for dex, use a dex weapon, but I'm assuming you are. Stat gains, for all melee weapons are based off the STR of a mob. Your dex gains are then calculated through the weapon ratios. So again, try to make sure you don't have more STR than the mob.

[quote="HANGUS"]Ok that great thank you for your help.[/quote]

[quote="CN"]Hi hangus, You will still get good dex gains at wraith with bow - as depressing as they are. From there you will get good gains from dw/bone golum when you can take these.[/quote]

[quote="HANGUS"]Thank you CN. Wraith are a wee bit depressing cannot wait to get away from them.[/quote]

[quote="MDC"]65 is taking me like 45mins per .1 Dex on rested..... Iv been told this is even harder at 70.....[/quote]

[quote="SATAN2"]It depends on your wep, where you're huntin, what equipment you're using etc. Mine took about 45mins after 65 but it does speed up again.[/quote]

[quote="YOSHIMITSU"]65-70 is a ballach at wraiths pure bow, but worth it in the long run[/quote]

[quote="IMCON"]Just to be clear, why exactly does it speed up again? Do you have to get str for that to happen? At 75 I haven't yet seen it increase. Up to about an hour now.[/quote]

[quote="BRAINDATA"]OP.. assuming your pure bow.... - I'd recommend grinding wraith out till 67 dex, then get yourself some ROF / jack'o gear, try sand valks with a healer, these were 15-20mins faster than DW for me till 75 dex. At around 75 dex you can hunt palus more efficiently (gear / str dependent). IMCON - only speed up i noticed was when i got bof/hero, only for 1.0 though! as theres a 10-15 min slow down at 80dex. There is no simple "dex guide" though, it really depends if you are pure bow or used a str weapon.. or if your prepared to use a healer.. and how well geared you are...[/quote]

[quote="GHOSTLORD"][quote="IMCON"]Just to be clear, why exactly does it speed up again? Do you have to get str for that to happen? At 75 I haven't yet seen it increase. Up to about an hour now.[/quote] The only reason for it to 'speed up' is because you are getting stronger compared to the mobs your hunting, you're doing more damage from new stats and of course the psycological factor is that you get used to it.[/quote]

[quote="BRAINDATA"]It's the same gains per mob though. Your just killing them in quicker time.[/quote]

[quote="SATAN2"][quote="BRAINDATA"]It's the same gains per mob though. Your just killing them in quicker time.[/quote] Exactly. OP - Not so long ago Brain was getting quicker Dex than I was and his is well above mine. I thought it was because my str/Dex ratio was a bit messed up as I used axe for a bit and he was pure bow, but now mine has sped up and I'm getting the same gains he was purely because I'm killing the mob I hunt quicker (significantly so, through use of accuracy items and a healer). I've yet to see any actual evidence that having a bad str/Dex ratio affects your Dex gains.[/quote]
