  • Going to level MNK...

    I'm a 75 PLD. Around my 50s-60s I had the pleasure of partying with an incredible MNK, and it totally changed my outlook on your job. Unfortunately many people still think its a "noob" job just because it isn't quested, or for whatever dumb reason.

    Regardless, since that day I've wanted to level MNK, but was afraid of the endless seek waits. Now that I'm rank 10, i'm HOPING that it will ease the horror of sitting through Kazham and whatnot seeking all day. Hopefully Rank 10 / Experience will make the ride to 60 or so as painless as possible.

    Anyways, MNK is an incredibly expensive job. I have enough money to get ALOT of the "luxury" items, but probably not all. Maybe 5mil or so. So, since I don't know much about the job, how important are the following items, and what preference should I give to them?

    -Spartan Cesti / Cross Counters / Shiva's Claws
    *from what i understand, the difference between these is insignificant. Being an Elvaan, I may be better off with the +ACC off Shiva's, while saving a cool million+ at the same time.

    -Sniper Rings / Spectacles- Should I use these both? At what level should I switch to STR+ rings? Or should I always go with ACC+ being Elvaan?

    Kung Fu shoes series:- I don't know what to make of these. From what I understand all the aforementioned items should come before these? Or am i wrong?

    thanks in advance

    I'm only level 48 atm, but I'll give the best advice I know how. :p

    -Spartan Cesti / Cross Counters / Shiva's Claws

    I usually don't see Shiva's Claws come into the equation (I think it has lower +DMG, correct me if I'm wrong). Spartan Cesti is the *must have* for MNKs 58+, whereas Cross-Counters are more luxury. I'd say go for the CCs, but both will last you to 75.

    -Sniper Rings / Spectacles- Should I use these both? At what level should I switch to STR+ rings? Or should I always go with ACC+ being Elvaan?
    You might need both when fighting toramas in Onzozo, but I don't know. I hear around level 70+ ACC doesn't become amuch of an issue anymore, so that may be a good time to go back to +STR rings.

    Kung Fu shoes series:- I don't know what to make of these. From what I understand all the aforementioned items should come before these? Or am i wrong?
    No one really buys these +Kick Attack shoes unless they've got extra gil to burn. I sure would like a pair though. ^^ Anyway, these line of boots are more luxury than necessity.

    Again, I'm only 48 atm, so take what I say with a grain of salt. ^^

      I'm an old 75 DRK and MNK has also been one of the jobs i've always wanted to play, so i'm considering taking it to 75 ^^

      having a dilemma deciding between MNK or PLD to fulfill different roles, because i feel so useless as a drk in Fafnir/Nidhogg battles, and would be fun to blast 1200+ chi blasts instead, + handtohand is pretty cool.

      In fact, even dragoon has crossed my mind, given that it is such a rare job compared to the multitude of mnks plds and drks out there.
