[Vengefulclaw]

Hey hey, Another Message
Different Jobs :D this time with monk.

Dude i really liked your idea. Seems Realistism.

Like my last 4 idea for trial for Marauder's Knife, Razor Axe.New
i will make 4 trial, only 2 out of 4 of these trial will be acquirable. When the trial is done. You won't be able to get a new AFv1 H2H (MNK AFv1). Unless For some reason you throw it away .

Trial Idea #1 : Occasionally Enhances Boost to Boostga.
Trial Idea #2 : Accuracy +4 Attack +10 Subtle Blow +5
Trial Idea #3 : Guard Will Enhances Counter to 30%
Trial Idea #4 : New Weapon Skill. I thought of "Chuck Norris's Beard Knuckles"
unfortunetly... due to PS2 "Stone Age" Abilities, we would have to Cross an X on that idea..lol j/k
"Shiva's Palm"
"Delivers an Ice elemental Blow, Elemental DMG varies with TP"

Again, these are only ideas, if anyone want to help Elaborate it more.
i think it will be awesome.

Karbuncle, thanks again on the feed back.

augment boost: next attack get +10% chance to crit (stack with chained boost, works on no crit ws)

[Yarly]

this should have additional effect stun with about 80% proc at level 99 but only after a slew of enduring trials.

prob something like this:

DMG:44
Delay +32
Augments Boost
Additional Effect: Stun

80% proc on stun?

Truthfully, giving MNK an Elemental Weaponskill could have its benefits, if only for getting a red "!!" Hint in Abyssea. You know, the Beat Cesti were sadly terrible weapons at their level if i remember. So an upgrade to them would be well over-due, and well welcomed >.>;

The Upgrade trials from 40 > 70, as with Knives, Would need to be Simpler. With increasing Difficulty. Low enough to where a newbie could do it.

With having MNK 90, I think i'll make my own twist on these. See MNK has good chunk of Weaponry But my imagination juice isn't out yet :)

(As for the 40-70 Trials. H2h is already a ruled market, at 50 you'll pick up TM+2 or C.Counters, at 72(?) You get Destroyers, and from then on its a hodge-podge usually consisting of the STR+ Magian weapons or empyrean Weapon, so the AF Weapon may not always be the best in slot for its use)

For 40~50....
Trial1: Defeat 100 Experience yeilding enemies of target mob
Family: Yagudo
Reward: Beat Cesti (50)
DMG:+13 Delay:+44 DEX+3 VIT+3

Trial2: (50~60)
Task: Defeat 200 Experience Yielding Monster of Specified Family
Family: Orcs
Reward: Beat Cesti (60)
DMG:+17 Delay:+44 DEX+4 VIT+4

Trial3: (60-70)
Task: Defeat 300 Experience yielding monsters of specified Family
Family: Quadavs
Reward: Beat Cesti (70)
DMG:+19 Delay:+40 DEX+5 VIT+5
Attack+5

Now the Fun part of Split Pathing. Split pathing seems like a good idea to let each person customize their playstyle, or fill a niche weapon that they don't have one for yet. Something that gives uniqueness to certain aspects of the job. MNK is hard to determine for that since its generally "Falcon Punch > Counterstance". But lets see...

Trial1(A Path): 70-80

That would be my idea on the MNK weaponry. I REALLY wish i could Spoiler this stuff. I feel dirty with Super-long posts. :D

[Fenrirs_Takumi]

lol i feel super crappy with short idea post XD

[Romejin]

I would like something like Guarded Stance for monk would make guard more better.

[LordChocoSlime]

When I first read about the Beat Cesti, I was disappointed by it. Granted, it has some nice stat bonuses (including a cool Delay +48), but its DMG isn't as high as I hoped. :( I ended up sticking with Hand-to-Hand weapons I bought at the AH on my server instead.

[Jackastheripper]

"Chuck Norris's Beard Knuckles"

I want this and this alone........

[Randwolf]

If the cap hadn't been raised and all this new awesome gear added, I'd say to run it through the same process as the AF+1 (I still use some like the BLU AF+1 Body). However, I just don't see the need now. Can't you store it now? I thought I put some of the weapons away. If not, it needs to be added.

On the flip side, the original weapon itself needs to be boosted. It was quite a let-down for the amount of begging I had to do for help with this weapon. And then to find I had a ton of better choices at that level.

[Swords]

this should have additional effect stun with about 80% proc at level 99 but only after a slew of enduring trials.

prob something like this:

DMG:44
Delay +32
Augments Boost
Additional Effect: Stun

Wayyyyyy too powerful, even for a sarcastic post. The base DMG of the weapon is more powerful than any of the upgraded Relics/Mythic/Emps, and the high proc rate on stuns would pretty much lock a monster unless it was resistant/immune. Besies that constant stunning would make it difficult for anyone to proc a !! trigger.


Truthfully, giving MNK an Elemental Weaponskill could have its benefits, if only for getting a red "!!" Hint in Abyssea.

Frankly I wouldnt care if it was not used for triggers, it's a major pain to build up amber lights solo with a staff or club.
