Told some friends that I frapped it and said I would post it so here it is. Not a good video imo but oh well. Good luck to all that go to get these, solo'd as nin/drk, stunned his 1000 needles and wore damage reduction gear that I use for hnm/sky stuff, worked pretty well =)

1/12 Drg/Whm dropped on wyvern kill shot put my work in and got my rewards also had them crafted into Wulong shoes.
I have an epic story to tell.
Went to Altepa to kill this beast as 59BST/THF for treasure hunter and flee. When it popped, i sent pet after pet to kill it, but unfortunately after a few poorly timed 1000 Needles I returned to jeuno a 58BST.
Went back a second time, it was still chilling there, unclaimed, taunting me. Killed me again.
"Dammit," I said, and decided to sub WHM. Went back a third time, stomped the singing cactuar's ass, and got my fu fu shoes and level 59 back ^_^
Unfortunately I was orange HP and got bukkake'd by several undead afterwards, and was sent back to Jeuno again as a 58BST, but at least I had my shoes.
Woot woot!

OMG, So I have been setting down here at the pop site for the last two and a half hours killing the Two PHs, and the possible one to the west just a bit. When I first came there was an RMT at camp, but left shortly after I got there(Thank god, because I knew I would not have much of a chance). Anywho, I stayed there for about two hours after that killing each PH immediately as it popped. After around 2 1/2 hours it spawned right on me. My brother on his 75 Thf was camping Thf Knife and had 3 minutes left til next pop so he said he would come out right after the pop if it wasn't NM.
when he went to leave he realized he didnt' have any more charges on his Warp Cudgel( I was so freaking mad lol) and he had to get a port from the Crag right outside in the Jungle. I in the mean time kited the monster around for about 15 minutes while this happened. I can say this, it is 100% IMMUNE TO SLEEP. I used ES Sleep II, and it never stuck. I have full Enfeeb Set, so it must be totally imune to it. My brother finally got to the zone and we started hacking away at it. It has VERY nice amount of HP, and hits quick, but never touched him. My brother pulled out his signal pearl to take some of the 1000 needles damage, but it never used it once. At the last part, he full SATAd me to kill it and ....

I really don't want to brag, but I went 1/1 on it! I am honestly really lucky. it feels nice to have not spent the 900k on them, and got them myself. I'm really excited right now :d Thank you to my brother Tealk!!!!!

Hi im level 65 mnk. Do you think i can so this NM and the PHs? Maybe if i go as mnk/nin and bring my npc? Thanks for the help.
5 posts
I'm 70 mnk. Camped Cactuar Cantautor 1/1 drop^^ i punch between 90~130 on Decent challenge and would normally kick for 30~70. With kung fu definitely hit for much more dmg. 110~150ish. Haven't seen any increase in rate. just damage. GL
As THF75 I've been messing around capping HTH, and read up about these 4 Kick attack bonus shoes, and how there was some question as to if they gave kick attacks or not. I then tried camping for Kung Fu, which didn't go well, but later one of my Monk friends said they had a pair I could test out.
As 75THF/MNK, using HTH and wearing Kung Fu's, I spent a good hour or so smacking things outside Rabao, and no, I never once saw any Kick Attacks, other than the ones included in weaponskills of course.
So, either they don't give the kick attack ability or its so low I didn't see it in an hour. My theory is, (because my friend says he does kick attack more with these on) is that these do increase your kick attack dmg and rate but only if you already have the ability.
I can't assume that Kung Fu, Wulong, Wulong+1 and Dune all behave the same, but just posting the info about these so if anyone was wondering like I was when I looked up these.
Coming up, testing with Strike Subligar, whenever I can obtain them.
(Posting this here too because this is the tiem I'm talking about even though the questions were on the Wulong page.)

Dalex or Durga on Lakshmi
They increase your kick attack damage, however, kick attack is level 51 monk trait, so subbing monk won't activate it.
I posted about this in the thief forum in the past week or so.
I found someone who was selling the Strike Subligar, and this person was kind enough to let me test them. (I let him hold onto my Emperor Hairpin as colateral).
Well, in a nutshell, they worked on thief, and I tried them with both /mnk and /nin. I saw the kicking animation and the resulting third hit for damage. Didn't go off very much - maybe once every 2nd or 3rd fight with skellies out in Xarcabard.
Definitely give the shoes another try with the subligar, if you can.

So in answer to your question:
Basically a Foot piece transition for Monk is roughly like
*all before Fed.Kyahan have no stats worth mentioning*
Federation Kyahan > RSE Feet (not Elvaan) > Fuma Kyahan* > Kung Fu Boots > Wulong > Dune boots
So, no. Do not look for DEX as a Monk. The choices would either be at this level +4 Attack, +20 Kick Attacks, +3% Haste, or RSE STR Bonus.
IMO Kung Fu FTW until Wulong > Dune Boots.

Lol. . .the kicking boots. . .all they do is increase dmg of your kicks, but your kick attack rate is kinda random, sometimes you kick like mad, sometimes not at all. So for a "which is better", it's hard to say. Haste always works, more haste > more attacks > more TP > more WS = more dmg, something you can count on. So in a dmg comparison, the worth depends on your acc and your luck in getting kicks.
A few more reasonings.
-Fuma are lvl39, rather then 51 (they serve more lvl)
-Fuma have a use on MNK/SAM/NIN, kick boots are MNK only
-Kung Fu shoes are horribly to solo, long spawn time, hard NM, sucky drop rate, Quu Domi is a cake walk in comparison
-(endgame) MNK/NIN isn't too uncommon and haste = less recast on utsusemi
So ofc if you're budget is tight or u lvl more then just MNK or feel the call of MNK/NIN, then Fuma are THE choice, if you just like to kick and feel like MNK ONRY (or you're sh*tting/buying gil), then feel free to get the kickers. . .both boots have their respective use and it's mainly a question of personal choice and you're money at hand.
Another note: fed kyahan aren't gods choice as MNK really. . .i seriously can't complain about my ATT as MNK (esp lvl51 when u can have okote/horomusha). 4ATT more or less doesn't make much difference anymore. Main reason to use those would be the lack of alternatives at lvl25. . .
Fuma Sune-ate are easily the best end game choice for Mnk (with exception to god foot wear)
If you use Kung-fu, wu-long, Dune, you have to use them with Strike Subligar
Subligar - Increases the freq (& gives kick attacks to any job using h2h)
Shoes - Increases the Dmg output of you kick att's (by alot)
Nice and simple. If you are a Mnk (which I am) and you want even more from your kick att's, then you can merit them.

Taking a break.
nvm, forget the crap kung fu boots -.-
now having them i decided to give em a try. . .in my next pt i used the kung fu's for 5 fights. . .and got a whopping 2 Kick attacks as mnk/war. . .and 1 of the 2 kicks even missed -.- . . . might be giving wulongs a try when i get that far, but Kung fu are neither worth the money to buy nor the time to camp <.<

I disagree completely. 5 att will never amount to enough to change your damage unless you are really lacking in attack for some reason or overcamping like hell. 3% haste is only worth anything if that 3% is enough to get a full extra round of attacks in... and its not so 3% haste will NEVER give a SINGLE extra point of dmg ina normal xp situation. If you have a good str slot from RSE that may or may not be a better choice for that slot, but for more kung fus are better by far, even if the extra damage is few and far between at that level it is still more than anything else in that slot will do. So if you can afford them get them... If you cant then why are you playing monk? But I wont ever be pissed not to see a monk wearing them, its only a slight bit better over all, a small amount of something compared to absolutely nothing.

yeah alot people say that kung fu is not worth it, i took the time to really break them in, 5 fights, thats not near enough. i notest a real diferents in my attk dmg, insted of about 1/3 the dmg as my punches, they do the same if not more now, the rate may not change, but you still kick more often then counter, so imo, kung fu is def. worth it if you can get them

My Kick Attacks are the same damage as my punches w/o these shoes. I can hit up to 100 dmg in one kick at lvl 62 on an IT mob. I would go with the +haste.

Just became able to equip these. There's way more to these shoes than meets the eye :D
Double / Kick attacks rock. Prepare to rip hate.
*opinion* Seems like kicking is hitting through higher defense (or is just stacked higher than me punches, now)..
After further use I agree that these shoes have hidden effect DMG: 25 on kicks as opposed to DMG: 0 on kicks equiping other footwear. I'm not sure about an increase to the actual abillity (eg. +1 Kick Attacks), because, if you are equiping this, you are watching very closely for kicks, which it might seem like you are kicking more often :)

Im just throwing this up there... i bought some TM+2s the other day cause everyone i talk to says they beat Spartan Cesti so i figured id bite while i had the money, these shoes, im unsure of the price, however to my understanding of these posts they give a Kick Attacks+ (hidden) like the Dune Boots, anyone got a guess on the +, word has it. worth its money, and i don't doubt it sounds pretty sick gunna check it out today though im @ 50 MNK
3 guys go into a hotel and they need a place to stay says its 10$ a piece so its 30$, then later the owner feels he's charged too much so he gives the carrier man 5 dollars to bring to them, he takes 2 and gives 1 to each man, so each many only really payed 9, 9x3 is 27 +2 from the carrier wheres the last dollar?

Infact these Kung Fu shoes DO give kick attacks a little boost and they do make kicking attacks come more often when in battle. it's not really worth too much to switch to fuma, fuma is probably exactly good as these are. If you are planning to buy these shoes then i recomend it. but it isnt a MUST HAVE item, if you dont got the money for it i say to just stick with fuma it gives haste %+ which is important to mnk. In other words dont get what you dont need,you can live without these.

Never boost DEX as a Monk. Take Acc/Atk/STR over DEX.
So in answer to your question:
Basically a Foot piece transition for Monk is roughly like
*all before Fed.Kyahan have no stats worth mentioning*

So, no. Do not look for DEX as a Monk. The choices would either be at this level +4 Attack, +20 Kick Attacks, +3% Haste, or RSE STR Bonus.
IMO Kung Fu FTW until Wulong > Dune Boots.
*optional and very expensive, some Monks love the 3% stacked with their 8% haste from Brown belt, but its not necessary. If you dont have Fumas, Fed.Kyahan > RSE > Kung Fu.

#SirGod,
Posted: Jun 03 2005 at 3:03 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) A lot of people are thinking about sticking w/ Fuma Kyahan which gives you 3% Haste. If you are fighting long enough for that 3% too actually make a noticable difference, you have already been fighting for too long. 700k for 3%, or 1 mil or more power on kick attacks...duh. Common sense here people.

im only level 48mnk and i do a lot to get my money so i level slowly but i definatly think ahead and was just wondering if i should stick with my fuma kyan of put a lot of my savings into these shoes. personally i dont think 10-15 extra dmg is worth 1mil plus its not every hit that u kick, its only once in a while. i would rather stick with haste to help delay on cross counters im waiting to use, but i was just wondering what is best in everyone elses mind for a monk to use.
I've done a lot of research on other sites, and the conclusion was these shoes are like having a +20dmg weapon on your feet. So I tested it... I have Sparten Cesti and without the shoes my kicks are noticably less than my punches. WITH THEM HOWEVER... They do the same as my punches. They're worth it.
8 posts
Though an increase in kick dmg sounds great...I think I should stay with my fuma kyahan. I don't think a monk kicks enough to make those boots worth the investment. Also the haste bonus is sweet.
Well Im only lvl 46 monk right now but i plan on camping the fella. The shoes go for 800k-900k on Titan so I aint buying them. I hope I get the drop from him.(Linkshell is helping lol )

Do any Monks that have these things ever end up tanking ?
:P
:P
well i will be looking to get these shoes to boost my damage, with a war sub i can use these with double attack and attack bonus.
I finally broke my cap the other day and got to equip my Kung Fu shoes that have been in storage for 2 weeks.
Normal kicks do about half the damage of your fists. With the Kung Fu shoes, it does roughly the same damage of your fist.
Too bad it doesn't increase kick frequency though.

the only reason these things are so high priced is cause they are synthed into better shoes :D

um... the "better" shoes don't have any stats on them either. so being involved in a synth is not the only reason, having hidden stats (way too many hidden stats in this game) is the real reason they're so expensive

Will the increase of kick attack dmg can still be affected when using "Raging Fists" as well? Cos there are 2 kick attacks in the 5 combos of "Raging Fists".

Don't know about Raging Fists but I've -heard- that Dragon Kick damage (hand to hand lvl 225 WS) is improved by these shoes (as well regular kick attacks of course)
no, kung fu shoes / wu long shoes / dune boots have no effect on the damage of dragon kick.
yes it's true a guy in my ls told me he was kicking was hard with things (if it made no difference it wouldnt cost 1-2 mil)
Okay, aside from the single anectdotal post here, is there ANY evidence at all that these things actually increase ATTK (or STR, and which would it be) for kicks? The reason I chose this particular post to reply to is to remind Soske of the Egg thing. The shoes drop off an NM, there is a rumor that there are "hidden" attributes. It's a RARE drop off of that NM. So, yeah, it is completely possible that they could cost 1-2 million gil if there was nothing special about them.

Do you think there would be multiple people willing to pay millions of gil for a shoe that did nothing and had crap defense relative to other equipment at the level? I don't know how anyone in their right mind would do this. Maybe I just think too logically.
yes, anywhere from +25 to +80 damage per kick depending on mob.

I am a lvl 59MNK, (7k tnl and can't get a pty worth crud. >.<) And I have the Kung Fu shoes. I have tested it my self on the same mob. On a IT with High Def and low Eva using Fuma. My kicks ranged from 25-30 dmg. Same mob with Kung Fu shoes ranged 45-55 dmg.
