If your MNK woke up naked, what would you go get?

Assuming you are using your naked 90MNK (modest amount of gil), how would you start to gear it? My MNK is not 90, and it is also not naked. I'm just wondering what (and in what order) I should be looking to obtain in order to start low-manning in Abyssea.
Pretty sure my first order of business is a Brown Belt (which I can use another job to get). Next, I need to find the best easily obtainable weapon. Should I do a couple of KS30 runs for Destroyers? Also, what other gear should I use to start out with and, using that, what should I upgrade it to?
Problem:
It's hard to do stuff on DRK.
I'm leveling MNK to do stuff.
I need to do stuff to gear up MNK before I do stuff.

Quote: Also, what other gear should I use to start out with and, using that, what should I upgrade it to? Aurore *** (aside from head use turban). Well, you don't have capped haste either, use fuma.
Upgrade to af3+1/+2.

1: Black Belt
2: Taurine Cestie, Str/Atk Trial Weapons, Afflictors
Gear:
W.turban > AF3+1 crown
Aurore Doublet > AF3+1 body
Aurore Gloves > AF3+1 hands
Aurore pants > AF3+1 legs
Fuma feet > AF3+1 (once you have enough haste elsewhere)
Peacock Amulet > Agasaya's Collar / Faith torque
Brutal Earring
Rajas Ring / Acc ring > Rajas Ring / Epona's Ring
Gear for monk is pretty darn straight forward.

Not going to tell someone to go spam KS30 for their destroyers when they need their seals for black belt. If it's AH knuckles till you can finish your ToTM get them, they'll work well enough till you finish trials.

You don't need a black belt to start low-manning in abyssea lol... It's very easy to cap haste with or without it. The only benefits you receive are subtle blow and -5% pdt. Those are nice benefits to have, but far from necessary, especially when you're CS tanking the majority of NMs. Any AH gear mnk can tank in abyssea, don't worry about higher end gear unless you plan on making mnk your main job. I would recommend doing magian trial for weapon though, but even that is not really necessary. I've seen mnks tanking with afflictors all the time. Basically, it's really hard to screw this job up.

Afflictors shouldn't even make the list. I was using destroyers as a comparison by the way. Destroyers are bottom tier horrible. Going under them isn't a wise option.
I'll put it this way. If you have afflictors or destroyers on mnk, you're better off just not playing the job until you can get something better. He'd be better off on drk.

Only Trial weapons worth it in Abby is WoE/Empyrean, Taipan Fangs suck in Abby.
Also, while I agree you should focus on Black Belt, it's easier said than done. Literally no LS camps it on my server, and hasn't in almost a year, so not only is ToD difficult, but I have no way of buying them.
Black Belt should be your ultimate goal, but focus on a combination that can cap your gear haste in the meantime.
Edit:
This is my TP gear on MNK, the weapon is absolute piss compared to Indrik's H2H, but I haven't used my MNK much lately.
It's not the best, but it can give a good idea of a way to cap haste without Black Belt.

Lol yeh the level cap was 85 when I last played, my priority was getting 90 for extra TH before I do subs.
I guess I'll consider bringing up WAR or MNK maybe even BLU.

Thanks guys, I think I know where to start with gear.
Still iffy about weapon though. Taurine Cesti or Destroyers it looks like?
How hard is Indrik?

Taurine Cesti. And if you have trouble with Indrik, what do you expect to be tanking anyways?

No, not destroyers, they're horrible and you have to break them. Was only using them as comparison to lolafflictors.
Heafon/Fruor should be the lowest thing to aim for. Taurine, the NM isn't too bad, but can be a handful for lesser experienced groups.

id go get RR first though technically its not a piece of gear it still boosts damage more than any piece of gear you could wear.

you dont need to HEAR a good reason .. stats speak for themselves...
-DT, haste and Sb in one slot.. tell me another belt that can be so beneficial in that slot?
