Tropical Punches

[idklol]

So i've started leveling monk quite recently (22 atm) and i've been using tropical punches since i could equip them. I am unsure as to when i should ditch them and what i should replace them with.

I have soloed up to 22 so far and plan on soloing to 30 as mnk/dnc but after that i will be pt/solo so i wondered if anyone can give me some advice as to when i should change weapon and what for (for solo and pt). Thanks.

If you do MNK/DNC solo, the Boreas Cesti would override your Sambas (I think, actual Enspells do so) so I'd only use it for exp PT.

True. Could always get Impact Knuckles at 32 though.

Yeah impact ruled till about 38 when I spent gil on Mythril +1 to hold me over to hooks (or Retaliators if I can get dorp! )

I recently levelled MNK to 37, and before doing so I asked a friend of mine basically the same question as the OP. He recommended changing to Federation Baghnakhs at Lv15. Although he has 75MNK and I trust his opinion implicitly, I ran the math on it anyway, calculating a DPS value range similar to that commonly provided for regular weapons (I got a range of base damage using H2H calculation + damage on the weapon, divided by the delay from Martial Arts trait + weapon delay at the appropriate levels). The DPS increase was significant enough in my mind compared to the accuracy bonus from Tropical Punches, and based on that, I ended up doing Tropical Punches > Federation Baghnakhs > Lynx Baghnakhs > Boreas Cesti, and was satisfied with how that performed (although for those levels, it probably doesn't matter too much anyway).

Republic Knuckles at 15 imo, then boreas/impact

Republic Knuckles at 15 imo, then boreas/impact

Simplest and best answer.

somewhat relevantly, which is better dot- boreas cesti or mythril knuckles +1 38-50? obviously i would still use knuckles+1 soloing for sambas
