Most of us know that a pure dex build is the best build for Islanders but has anyone ever thought about a Dex Beginner?(off-island)
Benefits:
What are the possible benefits of a dex Beginner you may wonder?
I believe their stable damage will give you a better clue where to train, how to train, and what you expect.
There is also the great accuracy that will come with having a lot of dex. This means you can hit a high level monster, run, and let your friend/s kill it off.
Higher accuracy and avoidability.
Obviously the great benefit would be the attack and run technique will make leveling faster.
Builds:
Lets pretend you have a level 71 beginner, which is pretty simple to get leveling the easy way by PQing. Lets compare two different builds, an average beginner build which is leaving Luk/Int at 4, leaving dex around 60, and putting the rest on str. At level 71 your build would look like this:
Average
Strength: 298
Dexterity: 60
Intelligence: 4
Luck: 4
A pure dex build would look like this:
Dex
Strength: 4
Dexterity: 354
Intelligence: 4
Luck: 4
The Weapons
I will be comparing three weapons here. A Maple Snowboard, an Emergency Rescue Tube, and a Green Ski. These weapons will be scrolled with 7/7 60% scrolls working. Even though I am sure most people can scroll better than that.

Level: 55
Attack: 92
+Strength: 9
+Dex: 2
Speed: Normal
http://i29.tinypic.com/15sa1pe.gif Emergency Rescue Tube:
Level: 60
Attack: 89
+HP: 150
Speed: Fast
http://i31.tinypic.com/2jaavqe.gifMaple Snowboard:
Level: 70
Attack: 99
+Strength: 7
Speed: Normal.
Results:
Average Build
Green Ski: 129-1426
Emergency Rescue Tube: 129-1220
Maple Snowboard: 139-1534
Dex Build
Green Ski:326-344
Emergency Rescue Tube: 316-330
Maple Snowboard: 351-370
My Interpretation:
I remember back when I was a level 64 beginner before OPQ came out, I trained at ratz. The exp was the best I could get. I tried different places, Horny Mushrooms, Evil Eyes, and Cold Eyes. But overall the best exp I could get was at Ratz. Later when I hit around level 72 or 73 Chronos became great experience, but that was due to a godly scrolled level 20 Frozen Tuna and awesome speed shoes and bone helm. So rats have 1,000 hp. Meanining that a beginner with the average build can take anytime from 1 hit to 9 hits to kill 1 ratz. But a dex beginner knows they will always kill it in 3 or 4 hits. Would you prefer to have such unreliable damage, just for a chance to be able to 1 hit the monster for 65 exp?
There is also another good option for Dex Beginners. They can train at Horny Mushrooms! I know you are probably thinking that Horny Mushrooms is a huge step down than Ratz but Horny Mushrooms only have 300 HP! Meaning you can kill it one hit and recieve a whopping 35 exp, more than half the exp Ratz give. You can get 105 exp in killing 3 horny mushrooms where the same number of hits would only give you 65, so as a dex beginner you will always know you can kill any monster in the horny mushroom maps you decide to train in, and such maps usually have green mushrooms in there so you are set!
Extra
I am not even sure if the beginner Sake bottles are out in GMS and if they are they must extremely rare. But if you happen to get your hands one you might consider to do what I call the Sake Dex build. A sake bottle is averagely 100 attack and only a level 30 weapon, the only downside is that you would need 110 strength to be able to use it so your stats would be as follows at level 71:
Strength: 110
Dexterity: 246
Luck: 4
Intelligence: 4
And if the bottle was also scrolled with 7/7 60%s your range would be: 318-882. Making the Sake Dex build an brilliant alternative for obvious reasons!
Ending
Thanks if you took the time to read my idea. I would really appreciate feedback!
I got the images from hidden-street.net and also used their damage calculator.
