sorry for being in english my pc won't type in arabic (it will be fixed)
but then again (almost) all the ppls playng ffxi knows english so its not a big deal
if any body wanna translate the guide go ahead ^^
a guide i made while i was spending time at the AH shoping for MNK
alot of peoples just buy armor by sets or just anything (cheep) at thier lvl
status is something not everybody watch for
the gear here is what i think is the best for MNKs
but since its your game and your money you get to buy what you want ^^
i added traits and abilities
i think i'll add lvling guide and AF quests later what do you think?
ps:
1-not every thing here is good lookin so there will be comnt about them( but if you don't mind looking like a clown ^^ buy them)
2-at low lvls almost any thing is good but listed what i think is best
3-some things in the list cost lots of money you might not need them there will be a comnt too
4-theres notes under every part read with care lol they are good for you
5-this guide is free wanna post it in your site be my guest just don't steal it and put your name on it
6-there are no ranged weapons in this guide cuz mnk can't use them any way and you don't pull so you don't need them
but you can get pebbles (just rocks) for fun (/em throws a rock at <t> ) really funny
=============================================================================================
[ Tips: ]
[ If you can get something for free DO NOT buy it some gear are droped and quested. ]
[ As a mnk you must do as much dmg so STR and +Atk are your friends ]
[ MNKs got what peoples call PAPER ARMOR so don't tank at high lv past 30 before that ]
[ use fish mith kabobs for tanking and meat mith kabobs (food) for damage dealing ]
[ Keep your gear updated people will not invite a mnk with bad gear or any job cept mages ]
[ Make friends (save some ppls and stuff) they might help you later ]
[ thats all.. ]

go with republic now the important stuff impacts here you'll be gald if you have high lv friends
just treck them to go hunt mee degge (yag NM) he drop them and the kotes ask for the impacts
the 600-800k kote will make them forget about the impacts trust me ^^; well from lv 30 start farming
1 day a week will be fine cross-counters are $$$$$ you don't need them but they are great if you can pay for'em
theres the kaisers but since there lv90 woodworking and really hard to get i won't say anything about them ^_^

i have nothing to say here fuma is nice but hard to get high lv friends
might be needed to get the fuma all the other stuff is cheap you won't
spend more than 10-15k on shoes sell light soles and use the money to buy beetle
the cost the same add 5-7k and buy windy kyahan(or add 40k and get fed)
sell them and buy merc gaiters its simple before lv 40 life is easy

-----
White Belt ( 1),<==( you start with it really nice )
Purple Belt (18),<==(quested)

heres a tip quest for the belts don't buy them cuz you will quest them any way
to get the black belt but if you don't wanna get the black belt just buy them^^
and 1 more thing life belt if you got sniper rings don't get it
but if you don't get the life belt i know the STR the brown belt give is great but you
don't need STR if you can't hit the mob right?

--------
Earring:
--------
Bone Earrings +1 (16),
Beetle Earrings +1 (21),
Tortoise Earring+1 (45),
Spike Earrings (55),
Coral Earrings (63),
+ATK earrings but it got -EVA i hate that (cuz i get to tank alot)and eva helps the low def mnks
if tanking of course but if you like to deal damage they're the things for you and the +1 earrings are not cheap
but the are better than the normal ones im using shell earing till i can buy beetle +1
============================================================================================
---------
Necklace:
---------
Spike Necklace (21),
Peacock Charm (33),<==(Argus drop)(+ACC)
Spectacles (59),<==(+ACC)
spike is great but when you get to lv 41 it will make your life hard cuz they
make chi blast the mnks most wanted move sucks chi needs MND to work well so
make a macro for the blast or buy something else and peacock charm is 8mil but acc is needed at high lv
that what the high lv mnks i asked said^^ but just get some earrings with +acc
you'll be fine ^^
heres the macro for chi blast
/equip neck
/ja Chi Blast
/equip neck Spike Necklace
============================================================================================
------
Rings:
------
Courage Ring (14),
Puissance Ring (36),
Sniper's Ring (40),
Victory Ring (54),
Triumph Ring (72),
sinpers are here cuz ppls like keep the brown belt if you think you can get 1 mil gil to buy them
be my guest courage rings are important buy them to dmg or buy some +VIT rings for tanking
you need about 30k for courage's but thats not hard (i'm a slow lvler i just farm orcs for fun and get crystals )
and i want to say that i only listed +STR rings cuz that what mnks need raw attack power grrrr.
============================================================================================
