    MNK relics

    So I recently came back to the game and found myself in an awkward situation of making a relic(which I normally don't do) so I could glamour the non glowy version of it. I understand not everyone might feel the same way as I do, but I find a lot(not all) of MNK weapons fall flat on the "martial artist" type class fantasy of just using your body as a weapon. It had me thinking that a lot of other jobs have these big imposing weapons with very vibrant glows that you can see for miles, while MNK not so much.

    Which led to me wondering if it would be possible to include a pair of purely glamour 0 stat boots to glamour with mnk relics that might share a themed glow?(I understand its probably technologically impossible to have a weapon make your feet glow) MNK uses their feet almost just as much as their fists(dragon kick, demolish, 4pt Fury, tornado kick, elixir field) and It doesnt look like that theme is changing in the slightest in endwalker, phantom rush/phoenix/aoe bootshine all still have elements with kicks.

    Even in real life MMA or martial arts movies...kicks are the flashiest to put on screen and thats kind of the point of the final glowy relic right? To be this big flashy thing that shows everyone you did the thing.

    So in closing and to TLDR it for people, I would greatly appreciate it if there was some way to emphasize the feet/kicking + punching aspect of MNK rather than trying to put some sort of spiked/bladed weapon onto the fists. Having matching glowing feet/hands from relic would be badass, at least I think so.

    The items are gone (for now(?)) but the Makai weapon for MNK is one of my favorites. A glowing sigil appears on the back of the hand, but otherwise it's all fist and no physical weapon.

    A couple of other weapons that have a glow but the actual weapons are a basic "fist" design are the Omega Knuckles" and "Blade's Serenity" (final resistance relic).

    It seems the op is asking for the inclusion of feet, though, since Monk also uses kicks.

    The point is kind of around the final "glowy" version of relics and how a lot of them you can see from miles away *cough DRK*. It was merely my personal preference to do something with the feet+hands rather than try to add some type of weapon to the fist area because the real "weapons" of a MNK are their hands and feet as of right now maybe in future we can get abilities inspired by other types of martial arts (suplex or something with elbows/knees for muy thai)
    I specified the relic weapon so that there wouldn't have to be a load of resources devoted to it, so if they figured out a way for the actual weapon to make feet glow, or simply add 1 pair of glamour boots for the end of the relic rather than trying to include this for every pair of "special" fist weapons.
