IiPunch - Monk Guide

care to remind me what money is useful for again ? Inbefore relics ! I'm using money for sushi lol. No point in stacking.

Interesting. Mnk/nin? or you go mnk/war for that? Wouldn't mind capping legs and h2h if I can do it for free.

If I don't have a REM weapon, what weapon should I be aiming for prior to starting Delve events on Monk? Is the Skirmish H2H weapon preferred to the Wildskeeper Reive one, or is it the other way around?

just tried it do you need a brd or can you get away with sushi I tried dual boxing mnk and whm I only seem to hit for 5000-11000 a punch did they nerf it?

I use formless strike and spam the matamata delve NM for airlixirs/+1 in low man (can be done with 2 chars and can be spammed non stop with 2 MNKs, 1 BRD, 1 WHM). One single monk using formless strike at the right time will kill the NM in 30sec for ~6 airlixirs with up to four +1. I'm capped on manibazho legs and rigor @ rank 15 so far ! It's definitely a must have. FS used to be very handy in skirmish against ombrils and acuex (cirdas dropped the H2H), also used to be handy to farm alexandrite in salvage on cerberus boss. I also used it a lot on PLD NMs like when we farmed ADL pops. Invigorate is mostly for solo. Everyone and their sister has a WHM mule nowadays.

No, pchan neglects to mention his MNK is basically capped and his BRDs are 99 harp mules.

Where is a good spot to lv up Guard? Mine is at a pitaful 201 right now, but only cause I stopped playing just as they added the improved skill up rate for guard and parry and only came back like a week or 2 before Seekers and only recently started to focus on Monk (started at 121 just before seekers).

Abyssea - Attowha Chasm has Mandragoras that work well. You'll want regen Atmas on. Then, just round up a bunch of them and let them wail on you. Mandragoras in general work well for the defensive skills.

I haven't been too serious with mnk but with REM being updated, I didn't feel like obtaining plasm weapons for DRK and BLU for an update or 2. Working on Usu +1, was wondering, which feet should I be using in the meantime? Currently have Thaumas nails and Tantra+2.

ItemSet 300856
Khepri bonnet=Haste+6%
Tenryu tekko+1=DA+2

Just tried the matama thing. my hits were only doing 11-15k a hit. and i have ghorn99 bard on me and 5/5 formless strikes with augmented body. only got it to 70% before it did next tp move and then couldnt do ***.

Verifying:

440 skill == 416 acc

Madrigal: 2x +5 Madrigal should be +71 acc, from Wiki data. Merits as well? Still 5 short of 86.

Focus/Aggressor: Will just call it +25 constant

Gear:
Rigor = 15+12 = 27
Mantis = 10
Usu+1 head = 10
Ziel = 12
Steelflash = 8
Thaumas = 12
Tenryu+1 hands = 10
Mars = 8
Letalis = 15
Anguinus = 15
Manibozho legs = 10
Usu+1 feet = 15

Total: 152

Dex:
Rigor = 5
Manibozho = 12
2x madrigal = 10

Total: 27

Mithra(?) mnk/war: 110 dex (spreadsheet might be off by 1)

Total acc: 416 + 137/2 + 152 + 25 + 71 = 732

If 732 acc is hitting ~90% hit rate, that puts mob evasion at about 700. If the brd has Madrigal merits, that puts mob evasion at 710. If I'm missing something else on Madrigal, evasion could be about 715.


Also, in case it wasn't clear (it probably isn't; I'll change it), the Delve Eft target isn't the NM, it's the general fodder mobs (testing was done on the efts). I'll change it to something generic like "Delve Fodder".
