I love Knuckles. If your worried about delay your worried about the wrong thing. +3 Acc is so damn awesome when it's included on a weapon, it's practically free Acc. At lvl 37 I have +9 Acc and I have a habit of only being able to hit with my right hand. However it does 47 damage with my one hand and I can crit 77. I did a 344 back hand blow on an IT+ crawler which is my current record.
I would never ever use Kingdom Cesti as that 344 backhand becomes not even close to half that damage. You have to remember the Base delay for H2H is added onto the weapon. No delay amount should be substituted for +Acc. Mostly when it's such a cheap way to get +Acc.
I also noticed that being behind and slightly to the right of the mob makes me do 10 more damage and I rarely miss. It seems to be my sweet spot.
Boreas cestis. hard for some to get cuz theyr rare/ex and new players dont have high jobs to kill themselves, but enaero is a godsend. the additional affect can add so much damage its not even funny. boreas cestis > anything till CCs
You guys are crazy, Kingdom Cesti baby. +4dmg, +3atk, +3acc and 33 delay. To bad people dont make alot of them. I sold mine 2 months ago and they´re still in history in AH.
I admit those are some nice bonuses, and I like less delay, but the damage on these is TWICE the kingdom cesti. And since with MNK, the delay on our weapons is +# to our natural HtH, the delay doesn't really make that much of a difference...
Plus, like you said, these are much more common. One thing I have to thank the O. Kote for.
You do not need these it's a matter of choice I use the claws +1 and theres less delay I have +8 str right now and 5 dex and with focus and the battle gloves my acc is good. As far as im conserned the claws are just as good. Just have the spike necklace for str and dex 2 rings that boost str and the merc captins doublet and headgear for str and more dex any mnk's lv 32 and above do not feel pressured to buy these the claws will suit you fine

Just follow Effen's guide if you are unsure about equipment. I'll listen to the guy with a mnk up to 75 and another new mnk up to 42 before I listen to some lvl 35 player.
i refuse to use knuckles, they are to slow, my mnk is a 26 right now, i'm gonna get the claws +1, same damage, and a delay of 61, the acc+3, well i can live with that loss b/c i got emp. hairpin, and some other dex boosting stuff to help me help more, i hate long delays, i will never use knuckles

The Delay of the weapon isn't that much at all. The delay of hand to hand is a lot, around 350 I heard, so you'd be adding 86 to 350 for 436 as opposed to 61 making it 411.
You're going to rely on a Dex bonus over an accuracy bonus? Apparently you don't understand the difference between the two OR the minimal diference in delay between claws and knucks... Every 2 Dex = 1 Accuracy. Dex also gives an additional slight chance to critical hit. BUT the accuracy bonus is more important simply becuase if you can't connect you're useless as a Damage Dealer. Last time I checked, a MNK is usually a DD... in fact.. MNK is ALWAYS DD.
I dunno...that's a lot of money at this level. Particularily if you don't have a static group to level with all the time, and never know what the people in the group you join are going to be like. I'm sticking with Mithkabob's until around 40 or even more. I stimply am not willing to blow 50k+ a stack, pop one for a party, only to hear "I gtg. sorry all, thanks for the party!" 10 minutes later. If you can afford it, all the more power to ya, but at this level, I just can't rationalize it. I think this, as a 3k investment is a perfectly acceptable alternative. But yeah...to each his own I suppose.

Anyways I used the Republic Knuckles to 32 and the Impact Knucks really do better damage than them. Plus they're ten times cheaper(literally, I bought the Republic Knucks for 30k at 15)
impact knuckles are for sure the best from lvls 32-38. Remember, str +1 is basically a guarante of +1 damage to every attack; atk +3 will raise your average, but depending on other equipment, probably not close to even a single point. treat impacts as +9 damage, +3 acc for comparison. depending on your budget and the cost of other gear coming up, probably not worth upgrading to the mythril +1 at 38. impacts can carry you well into the 40's if they need to.
how does this compared to republic knuckles? republic knuckels have only +6 damage but attack +3 while impact knucles have +8 damage but no attack + bonus? which one would be better for lv 32 monk?
I used the Republic Knucks till level 32 and bought these just to try them out. Sold the Republic knucks very shortly after. Give them a try and you'll see why. They are great.
