Transparent Cesti/Monk weapon

[Saigwa]

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.

I suggest we call it: "The Emperor's New Baghnakhs"

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

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.

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.

I think this was asked in the fan festival. And they said why not.

If they had the time to edit the battle stance, run and jump based on a job, closing 2 fists for already existing actions doesn't seem that daunting.

i wouldn't mind an invisible shield. most of the ones in this game i don't like anyway.
