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.

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.

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.

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.
