Beat Cesti (AF1 Weapon)

[Karbuncle]

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)

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...
