    Transparent Cesti/Monk weapon

    Don't know if it has been covered by the devs before, but it would be awesome if Monks could get some transparent weapons to make it look like they are fighting with their fists. I mean, we are supposed to be masters of hand to hand combat and all... Maybe give us boxing glove weapon or something, if there HAS to be a weapon. Heck, I'd buy it even if it was a cash shop exclusive cosmetic item.

    A glove might happen, invisible weapon might not if they think other classes could start demanding something similar.

    A community rep said it would be passed on in this thread from earlier in the year.

    This is the most recent note of it that I can find, however, it seems to say essentially the same thing. :/


    With the edition of the Emperor's "blank" though that does this for accessories and such, it does seem possible in the future.

    I'd like to see a hand wrap sort of like how the new i110 crafted Monk hands look. As much as I wanna punch with my fists I don't wanna scrape up my skin

    But there is logic in the monk's having a transparent waepon vs other classes.
    Monks are Hand-to-hand combat masters. Having no weapon shown, allowing to see their fists do the work, would stay within logic of the class.
    Other classes/jobs, on the the other hand.... an invisible bow/lance/ect would not work... I mean, there's no logic behind a transparent weapon for classes that are built around utilizing weapons.

    Remember guys, we already wear gloves. We aren't exactly punching with our "bare hands" since we are wearing gloves.. xD

    The only reason I can see this not working is that all the current animations are dependent on using animations that show the monks gripping things, if you remove the weapons they won't be holding a fist, but rather a slightly open hand where the weapon used to be.

    This thread has been done to death before but sticking to the topic a more realistic approach to attacking with bare fists is to wrap it in bandages. But this is a fantasy game so I don't expect any realism. If lalas can jump 3 times their height why can't we punch with bare fists?

    Indeed, if they do this they will have to edit the animation a bit.
    No idea how swapped the animators are at the moment, especially with 3.0 on it's way and probably still in the making. It won't be anytime soon that's for sure.
