Weapons
Note: Monk can equip both Clubs and Staves also. However, Hand-to-Hand delivers the same type of damage (blunt), has a generally higher Damage to second ratio, has A+ skill as a monk compared to B, and is also the only weapon affected by the Martial Arts trait. I may at a later time add some staves and clubs that Monks may use.

| Republic Knuckles | 15 | +6 | +76 | HP+3 MP+3 Accuracy +2 Attack +3 | +1 version of the Lvl 15 Bastokan Knuckles. Seriously suggest the Republic Knuckles; these last a long time, are relatively inexpensive, and are truly the best you can get. |
| Metal Knuckles +1 | 20 | +7 | +91 | Accuracy +3 | Only the +1 are possibly better than the Republic Knuckles, and some argue that this isn't even the case. Based on the attack bonus and lower delay of Bastokan knuckles it is hard to tell if Metal Knuckles +1 yield better damage. |

| Hades Sainti | 70 | +18 | +51 | Accuracy +7 Evasion +7 Subtle Blow +7 Enmity +7 | Good damage but generally not recommended for party use because of the +enmity. Good weapons for solo play and also tanking situations such as Salvage. |
| Shenlong's Baghnakhs Template:Rare2Template:Exclusive2 | 71 | +21 | +51 | STR +3 Accuracy +10
Double Attack +1% Subtle Blow +3 |
Dropped from Pandemonium Warden (Tier V ZNM). Quite possibly the best non-relic h2h weapon in the game. Problem is, it drops off of the second most difficult NM in the game after Absolute Virtue. |

Armor
Note: most of these armor selections are made on the assumption that the Monk you are designing will do what 99.99% of Monks do, dish out damage. You may wish to carry other pieces of equipment to offset the general rule that good armor for melee, is bad for defense.

| Legionnaire's Mittens | 10 | 3 | Attack +3 | |
| Battle Gloves | 14 | 4 | Accuracy +3, Evasion +3 | A very good set of DD gloves because of its +ACC, these will last a long time. In the same ironic twist, these are the best hand gear till 25, 27, 30, and 34.Some people choose to use these for even longer though because of the ACC+. |
| Federation Tekko | 25 | 7 | Accuracy +3, Ranged Accuracy +3 | Same +Acc as the Battle Gloves, however this has more DEF. The Windurstian have less +ACC and should not be used. |

The effect of haste is enhanced by having other haste equipment (e.g. Link title) and haste spell/song cast on.

| Forager's Mantle | 71 | 7 | STR +3 Attack +15 | ENM treasure from Brothers or Sheep in Antlion's Clothing. Rather expensive compared to the Amemet Mantle +1, and some may say the STR +3 is not worth the triple cost. |
