FFXIV Monk BiS Discussion
I have played FFXIV for years now. I know most Monks will buy and Gobtwine the Tantra shirt before they have a chance to see a 210 Gordian Chest. The Trantra is a solid filler.
Helm: The other 210, Gordian Sallet Of Striking, isn’t bad. A solid filler that gives CRIT/ACC. If it happens to drop for you, nice.
Boots: The other 210, Tantra Gaiters serve as an accuracy filler in case the boots seem far away. If you buy the Gaiters with FFXIV Gils, you can spend A2S pages on accessories after gloves.
A1S Pages: Ring > Earrings > Filler
A2S Pages: Gloves > Boots > 3x Gobcoat
A3S Pages: Legs > 1/2 Gobtwine > Filler
A4S Pages: Gobdip > Shirt > Filler

I catch up for an idea about how to spend the saved ESO tomes for Monk. BiS is the weapon and it worth the most ESO to DPS Gain ratio. Head is perfect for DPS, be careful because it has no accuracy. Belt is the same case as the head above. For the ESO spent, body is great even if no BiS, and legit filler that every Monk should buy. If you want to farm A4S, you can skip this. For power, Bracelet is over Necklace, and Necklace is over Ring, which are good for fabled accessories. Everything is non-BiS and optional.
VIT Accessories for MNK
If you want VIT on your Monk, you should know which accessory is of no use and which crafted is of the most use.
Chrysolite Ring Of Slaying (replacing Fabled). Melding: VIT IV–VIT IV–VIT IV–FREE–VIT III or FREE
For the free slots on the ring, ACC or DET would be good. The final VIT III is optional, but if you need the HP, that’s the whole point of the ring…
Citrine Choker Of Slaying
Melding: VIT IV – VIT IV – VIT IV – VIT III or FREE – CRIT III.
This ones a little more straightforward. The “VIT III or FREE” is better off as VIT (reasoning same as above). You can only place SS or DET there, since the final CRIT III ‘caps’ crit.
180 Crafted left for MNK & Melding
Griffin Leather Tricorne Of Striking: CRIT IV x 4 – CRIT III
Nothing better than the above. ALT: Any CRIT to SS.
Griffin Leather Coat Of Striking: CRIT IV – DET IV x 2 – CRIT III x 2
Caps crit and Acc. ALT: Any DET to SS.
Griffin Leather Bracers Of Striking: ACC IV x 3 – CRIT III x 2
Caps Crit and DET. ALT: Any ACC to SS.
Astral Silk Sash Of Striking: CRIT IV x 3 – ACC IV – CRIT III
A strange one.. still caps Crit though. ALT: ACC to DET.
Griffin Leather Brais Of Striking: Crit IV x 5
While looks bad on paper, the other legs suck… read more below.
Griffin Leather Boots Of Striking: DET IV x 5
Not too bad, I guess. Fits (24) Accuracy if you’d want it.
Usefulness Summary
HAT: Better than 190, only loses to Gordian. Good investment.
COAT: Hmm.. OK to have but 190 inches ahead. Skip.
GLOVE: Very good, only Gordian really beats it. Good investment.
BELT: Not that good of an investment since ESO belt smashes it. Skip.
LEGS: 180 is comparable to this… I wouldn’t bother.
BOOT: I wouldn’t bother with these since 190 is very comparable. Skip.
