[Gain]

Faith Bagh's/Destroyers/Wagh Bagh's
Tiphia Sting
Optical Hat/Wal. Turban/Shura Kabuto/Pahluwan Qalansuwa/Usukane Somen
Faith Torque/Pcc/Spectacles/Chiv. Chain
Brutal/best ATT+ earring you can manage (STR earrings are fine for WS)
Shura Togi/Scorp. Harness/Pahluwan Khazagand/Osode
Ochi. Kote/Noritsune Kote
Snipers+1/Toreador's/Sniper/Woodsmen/Rajas/Ulthalam's
Forager's/Amemet+1
Black Belt/Brown Belt
Byakko's Haidate/ Shura Haidate/Usukane Hizayoroi
Fuma Sune-Ate/Usukane Sune-Ate/Dune Boots

Not necessarily in the order of best to worst, but it gives you an idea of whats good to get. I'm sure I'm probably missing out on a few things too.

 

[Kalefury]

Well for Sky endgame, the majority of the shells will have you Chi Blasting most of the time.
MND set-up:
Kirin’s Pole
Raptor Strap +1
Temple Crown+1
Promise Badge
Communion Earring (or any MND earring)
Kirin’s Osode
Temple Gloves
Aqua Rings (or some MND choice)
Melee Cape (if you can get your hands on one)
Twinthread Obi+1
Temple Hose+1
Suzaku’s Sune-ate

For other endgame activities they’ll probably want you to zerg damage.
Melee Set-up: *note watch which mobs you’re fighting and use food to complement the gear
Destroyers
Tiphia Sting
Walahra Turban /Melee Crown if you’re pulling too much hate
PCC / Faith / Chivalrous Chain can work if low on funds
Brutal Earring
Ethereal Earring
Shura Togi / Usukane Haramaki
Melee Gloves / Melee Gloves+1 / Bandomusha Kote
Sniper’s Ring+1 / Toreador’s Ring
Forager’s Mantel
Black Belt / Brown Belt if you don’t have Black
Byakko’s Haidate
Fuma Sune-ate

I mean no offence to you Olrox, but can i recommend you not posting when you don't know what you're talking about?

On topic:

Depending on the activity, your gear may vary in certain ways, so I'm gonna do what I usually do and say "stuff is situational" here. "Endgame" is a pretty big place. People often consider different activities endgame more than others, but I assume you mean activities like HNM, Sky, Dynamis, Limbus, Einherjar, Salvage and such?

Pretty much what Kale said above me, for gear sets. That seems about accurate.

For TPing, Haste where you can (Dune Boots' enhanced kicks and Fuma Sune-ate's 3% haste are still a toss up however). Add in accuracy and attack wherever possible too.

For WS, assuming you're using Asuran Fists, you're going to want to pile on Acc Att and STR. Generally more focus on the Acc than the STR/Att here, as not only are the mods low, but it's an 8-hit. You'll want to hit as many of those as possible.

 

[Dowzer]

No kidding, Alkyoneus bracelets, Triumph Earring, STR Rings, Osode...C'mon man...

 

[Kajimaru]

[Dejavu]

[Langly]

Take a look at the smart grenade like Dejavu said. It has hidden Attk+4 and it comes from a quest in WotG for free.

It's an option if you don't want to buy a Tiphia Sting.

 

[Necrosis]

Please, please, stop meleeing in fumas. Use dunes (unless you have usukane).

Oh, that's smart.

In many situation you can be asked to pull or occasionnaly pull, and you could make a mistake and throw it, that's why I don't think it's clever to use that.

 

[mdkuser]

basically take the most haste and acc you can on TP, and the most accuracy and attack on WS ( choose those before str).

 

[K. Ishitar]

this might sound dumb but why would you ask a mnk to pull even then chi blast? 9/10 chance there's a mage/bard/dd with some sort of ranged weapon. I wondered why the smart grenade wasn't mentioned but didn't post because generally acc> att.

 

[Arezael]

Please, please, stop meleeing in fumas. Use dunes (unless you have usukane).

This.


Do not under any circumstances whatsoever equip Haste+ items. The status effect granted by Haste is in fact, completely useless.

The reason people recommend a Walahra turban is for the 30 MP.

Unless you carry Pebbles or Tathlums... Monk's will never be asked to pull. This is a non-issue.

 

[Skaw]

Hey guys let's keep omitting Divisor Ring.

 

[Flag]

Divisor ring is all based on if you actually get lucky have have that ring identify. x_x

 

[Langly]

Divisor Ring can totally eat my -

Nope, no hate for the appraisal system from me. :3

(Yes I want it dearly).
