Monk: Guide to Weapons and Armor

Weapons

Note: Monk can equip both Clubs and Staves also. However, Hand-to-Hand delivers the same type of damage (blunt), has a generally higher Damage to second ratio, has A+ skill as a monk compared to B, and is also the only weapon affected by the Martial Arts trait. I may at a later time add some staves and clubs that Monks may use.

Hand to Hand

Name	Lv	Dam	Del	Effects	Comments
Cesti (+1)	1	+1 (+2)	+48 (+43)	Accuracy +3 (+4)	Standard Merchant sells for 132 - 149 gil.
Cat Baghnakhs (+1)	1	+2 (+3)	+60 (+51)
Bronze Knuckles (+1)	5	+2 (+3)	+96 (+91)	Accuracy +2 (+3)
Brass Knuckles (+1)	9	+4 (+5)	+96 (+91)	Accuracy +2 (+3)
Legionnaire's Knuckles	10	+4	+96	Accuracy +2 Attack +3	1,000 CP Bastok Weapon. Rank 1, any placement.
Republic Knuckles	15	+6	+76	HP+3 MP+3 Accuracy +2 Attack +3	+1 version of the Lvl 15 Bastokan Knuckles. Seriously suggest the Republic Knuckles; these last a long time, are relatively inexpensive, and are truly the best you can get.
Metal Knuckles +1	20	+7	+91	Accuracy +3	Only the +1 are possibly better than the Republic Knuckles, and some argue that this isn't even the case. Based on the attack bonus and lower delay of Bastokan knuckles it is hard to tell if Metal Knuckles +1 yield better damage.
Boreas Cesti	30	+6	+48	Additional effect: Wind damage	Wind damage activates 100% of the time causing an additional 0-7 points of damage. Dropped from Kirata (NM) 41 Beaucedine Glacier.
Impact Knuckles	32	+8	+86	Strength +1 Accuracy +3	Dropped from Mee Deggi the Punisher (NM) 35-36 Castle Oztroja Resale Price: 2,751 gil.
Mythril Knuckles +1	38	+10	+91	Accuracy +3	Mythril Knuckles +1 is suggested, or else stick with Impact Knuckles.
Tourney Patas	40	+11	+96	VIT +3	BCNM 40 treasure from Under Observation and Undying Promise.Fairly cheap if you want to buy them.
Patas +1	48	+15	+86
Tactician Magician's Hooks	50	+15	+91	Attack +10 DEF -10
Cross-Counters	50	+19	+96	Accuracy +3 Evasion -10 "Counter" +5	Considered the most powerful for the purpose of single hits and WS damage, however very costly. One option is to camp Western Shadow to Obtain the Rare/Ex version Retaliators.) If time and Gil are a factor Tactician Magician's Hooks +2 can be used till 72, these are not mandatory. BCNM 60 treasure from Brothers D'Aurphe.
Tactician Magician's Hooks +2	52	+16	+71	Attack +10 DEF -10 In areas outside own nation's control: CHR +4	The normal quality form of Tactician Magician's Hooks until 52 Tactician Magician's Hooks +2 or Tactician Magician's Hooks +1. However, the +2 form is argued by some all to be better in Damage over Time.
Birdbanes	54	+14	+84	Vs. Birds: Accuracy +3	Hidden effect: Piercing damage instead of blunt. weapon skills are still blunt. drops off Chaneque in Batallia Downs (S)
Hades Sainti	70	+18	+51	Accuracy +7 Evasion +7 Subtle Blow +7 Enmity +7	Good damage but generally not recommended for party use because of the +enmity. Good weapons for solo play and also tanking situations such as Salvage.
Shenlong's Baghnakhs	71	+21	+51	STR +3 Accuracy +10 Double Attack +1% Subtle Blow +3	Dropped from Pandemonium Warden (Tier V ZNM). Quite possibly the best non-relic h2h weapon in the game. Problem is, it drops off of the second most difficult NM in the game after Absolute Virtue.
Wagh Baghnakhs	72	+13	+60	Latent Effect: DMG +18 Hidden Effect: Attack +14, Accuracy +5	Good for TP burn parties. Latent effect is active while TP < 100% (includes Weapon Skills). Hidden Effects are also triggered under this latent. ENM treasure from Like the Wind and Boneyard Gully
Destroyers	73	+5	+48	Latent Effect: DMG +18 Critical Hit Rate +6%	KS30 drop. Amazing weapon that beats everything that came before it with the possible exception of Shenlong's Baghnakhs (which are not an easy weapon to get at the moment). In any case, Destroyers are a BCNM treasure from Copycat, Double Dragonian or Royale Ramble
Faith Baghnakhs	73	+9	+113	MND +7 Virtue stone equipped: Occasionally attacks twice	Dropped from Jailer of Faith
Glanzfaust	75	+20	+96	Augments "Focus" and "Dodge", "Ascetic's Fury", Aftermath: Increases Acc./Atk., Occasionally attacks twice	Mythic Weapon (even hard to get with 18000 alexandrite which cost 6k on Titan = 151 million gil.)
Spharai	75	+23	+86	Attack +20 Enhances "Counter" effect "Final Heaven"	Please Note: EXTREMELY hard to obtain Relic Knuckles: Spharai. Enhances "Counter" effect: Counter +10. Hidden Effect: Attacks will occasionally do 3 times normal damage.

Armor

Note: most of these armor selections are made on the assumption that the Monk you are designing will do what 99.99% of Monks do, dish out damage. You may wish to carry other pieces of equipment to offset the general rule that good armor for melee, is bad for defense.

Bronze Mittens or RSE	1	1
Tekko	8	2
Legionnaire's Mittens	10	3	Attack +3
Battle Gloves	14	4	Accuracy +3, Evasion +3	A very good set of DD gloves because of its +ACC, these will last a long time. In the same ironic twist, these are the best hand gear till 25, 27, 30, and 34.Some people choose to use these for even longer though because of the ACC+.
Federation Tekko	25	7	Accuracy +3, Ranged Accuracy +3	Same +Acc as the Battle Gloves, however this has more DEF. The Windurstian have less +ACC and should not be used.
Ochiudo's Kote or Ochimusha Kote	34	8	Attack +20, Evasion -5	This is considered the best piece for hands until possibly end game. However, this is a very pricy piece, but a must for those seriously wanting to take MNK to level 75.
Horomusha Kote	34	7	Attack +15	A great alternative to the O.Kotes, a lot of people use it because it is both cheaper, and has no minus evasion which can be deadly in many scenarios.
Temple Gloves	54	14	HP +14, STR +4, Enhances "Boost" effect	Monk AF
Bandomusha Kote	73	21	HP +3%, Attack +22, Evasion -10	Replaces Ochimusha Kote. Drops off Xolotl in Attohwa Chasm.

Savage Gaiters	29	5	HP +16, STR +3, CHR +2	Mithra RSE
Fuma Kyahan or Sarutobi Kyahan	39	7	Haste +3%	Debatable due to the relatively high price compare to other items. The effect of haste is enhanced by having other haste equipment (e.g. Link title) and haste spell/song cast on. But seeing as how as haste at lower levels does not make a significant difference, it would be best to stick to Federation Kyahan until Kung Fu Shoes.
