Tropical Punches

[Genso]

Sorry if this ws posted before, but I was wondering how long these can be used? Lv10 1dmg 0delay +10 acc

Yeah, it's been covered... a lot... just search "Tropical Punches" and you'll find quite a few threads on them, and the viability of them.

Absolutely Worthless IMHO. You need to deal Damage. Get some Knuckles with some +Acc.

Tropical Punches Level 10
Damage+1 Delay+0 Accuracy+10

Odd... the seem to be the highest +acc knuckles...

[Jifan]

Should have made myself more clear. Get some Knuckles that have more then +1 Damage. Mobs at that level are easy to hit unless you fight something you shouldnt be fighting.

Good for elvaan, everyone else should reconsider.

I don't recommend them at all. Wait until level 11 and get the Brass Baghnakhs (+1 if you can afford it), then get Bastokan or Republic Knuckles at 15, then Cougar Baghnakhs at 20. Skip the Tropical Punches altogether. They're overpriced and underpowered.

The Punches aren't "Knuckles," they're Cesti.

the strikes at lv 14 are my favorite for 15 plus lvs later .. get them soon

trops are worthless and they take forever to sell off .. and then the price dropps .. oh the horror

Tropical punches really start to shine between the levels of 33-47, after 47 you get patas at 48. But before patas nothing holds up as well for an elvaan (I have already gone into great detail on this subject in another thread on the same matter not going to repost my findings again. Shouldn't be to hard to find.

Edit: BTW before this post takes the same turn as my last view on the Trop. punches. I would like those to know that are goign to try to flame me to ashes. That these are my views and my experiences with the weapon pre 48. I don't tell anyone to just flat out by the Trop. punches. looking for thread now one sec -.-

I'm an Elvaan, and no, Tropical Punches don't shine from 33-47, they suck just as badly as they always have.

This is the weapon I'm using:

Mythril Knuckles +1
DMG: +10
DLY: +91
ACC +3

So, I will hit nearly as much as you, and probably do twice your damage. Tropical Punches are terrible, Elvaan or otherwise, they are just bad.

Edit: The Topic Creator's signature just rocks. ^_^;;

Well I saw diffrent results when I used them from Garliage till 48 maybe i was just dillusional or something -shrugs- I ono but I hell take my long drawn out paragraph in the link the way you want. lol I'm lv 60 now trp. punches couldn't be further form my mind.

Well, I saw in that topic that you were broke, so you didn't have stuff like Jujitsu Gi, Sniper's Rings... That is probably the cause of you thinking that other weapons couldn't match up to it, because you were an Elvaan and couldn't afford any +ACC equipment. Tropical Punches damage is barely better then bare fists... and without my knuckles on, my damage per fist is cut in half. I couldn't live with that, even if I was accurate, my WS is going to suck, thanks to the low damage rating of the weapon.

[GosamerWings]

Guess to figure stuff out I would have to go back and have money for jujistu ect. Life belt doesn't really count in this since it's level 48 and if your not using patas at 48 then you should quit leveling and start farming lol. (Unless you are rich and have C.Cs)

Unfrotunately I can't go back lol -shrugs-

I figure if you can afford Jujistu gi then the trp punches will probably do better untill 48 when you get access to patas but then again thats only if your elvaan. And I could be wrong but I wasn't that broke so I don't know but best way to figure out is buy em try em out if you can afford it and if you don't like em sell them back I guess.

At level 41:
STR 49 + 19
DEX 42 + 7
ACC + 7
ATK + 6

This enough to hit 70% of the time, 80-85% of the time with Focus on. Good enough for me.

Tropical Punches are worthless. :sweat:
