IiPunch - Monk Guide

Hi, working on gearing my MNK and had a few questions about what to progress into next.

Here's my TP set:
ItemSet 397746

• Adhemar Bonnet = Path A

• Cape = DEX/DA

And here's my WS set:
ItemSet 397747

• Cape = STR/DA

• Adhemar Both = Path A

I use the WS set for Victory smite, otherwise my TP set for spiral / other DEX WS or where multihits work better.

Obviously my WS isn't really that great, and I don't have Bhikku stuff, or Godhands. Here's some content I'm missing and would be interested in hearing advice on what to prioritise and do in order:

• I have enough beads to begin an aeonic weapon. Can probably solo a few of them, if not on MNK then on RDM.

• Haven't begun Dyna D. Only did the base Dynamis shadowlord kill and got the base relic armor (non-reforged).

• Haven't touched Omen, I got Anchorite Gaiters +2 from deeds and that's it.

• Haven't touched Abyssea, but I know Bhikku legs/chest are very important.

• Haven't touched Ody, I know mpaca is quite important.

• Haven't touched Vagary / Delve / other side content, mostly been on Ambu and Lilith. Curious about what other things for my sets I could get from those that are high priority.

Thanks.

Best bang for your buck time wise is probably to do missions to get closer to your sortie upgraded abysea gear. Other than that, going for a clear of bumba for some DT gear.

DT is so essential these days. It is really built into most of the newer gear cause you will do 0 damage if you are dead, so adhemar is one of the last bastions of the glass canon. Nowadays a "glass canon" might end up with 30-50% dt just because it is there. People often look a step further into magic evasion. (if you get a strong paralyze, you aren't winning the parse either).

Again, I think go for a lower level bumba shout if you can in odyssey and hope for at least the unlocks. And get missions done to get sortie, as it is stuff you can solo or team up with to get stuff. Omen gear wise isn't as necessary for mnk. There are pieces that I use, same with relic, but not as much these days.

That said, I love running omen, it is a lot of fun. Mnk (and now most dds) can tank some of the bosses nicely. Mnk is nice cause it doesn't need a lot of buffs vs many others. I guess you can do lilith too. It is less important than it was a few years ago when I returned to the game in 2019, though there is an accomplishment about getting all your malignance gear (at least prior to it being added to trove... w)

Is this troll if not...wiki has many guides...VS critical gear

Thanks. Also on the topic of getting godhands.

Am I fine soloing more fetes as a MNK or should I use another mule like a RDM?

You won't be able to clear the tougher mobs solo.
