Well I've been working on Sam a ton and neglecting my poor Mnk, my original 75. Managed to recover from being stripped char but now the hard part begins. Going from "ok" to "MONK POWER"~!
First: I know there is a weapon comparison and gear guides out there, but all are unrealistic. I will not ever touch a single Usu piece, not got a shell and not willing to spend years doing it again.
Current - Goal
Weapon: Destroyers - Fire Taipan STR/ATK really that much of a jump from the crit boost?
Ammo: Bibiki Seashell(I know..) - Thew Bomblet
Head: Walahra Turban - ?
Neck: Chivalrous Chain - PCC
Earrings: Bushi/Minuet - Brutal Earring/ ? Merman?
Body: Shura Togi - ?
Hands: Melee Gloves - I have Aurore, does the haste beat the huge atk?
Rings: Sniper's x2 - Rajas / Snipers?
Back: Amemet Mantle +1 - ? Foragers ?
Waist: Brown Belt - Black Belt
Legs: Melee Hose - I have Aurore, does the haste beat the +kicks? - Working on BH set.
Feet: Fuma Sune-Ate - ?
Lots of blanks still there for me... plus I have no idea what to macro in for WS set. Do we still use Asuran over Tornado Kick? For Asuran I tossed on O.Hat and Potent Belt... Not sure what to do for Tornado aside just toss on +STR stuff.
*edit*
Forgot, the reason I said soloable is because that is what I want to focus on. Things I can solo or at most duo with a BLU. No big LS hurts.

Fire Taipan really is a big jump from the crit boost, the lvl 85 ones easily out-parse the 75 spharai.
Ammo: Might consider a black tathlum, they are pretty cheap now, and only a little more expensive than a thew bomblet (depends on acc. which is better)
Head is still W. Turban for TP unless you have the Tantra hat, or using a footwork setup.
Definately want a brutal earring, and there is also a Kemas Earring for Acc. (again, depends on Acc.)
Hands: If you aren't capped haste, use Aurore, yes, the haste is better.
Back: This is a minor upgrade, so if you have other stuff to upgrade, would rather do that first.
Legs: I would work on the Tantra legs, they are pretty easy, and the NM spider in abyssea can be duo'd. They are equal to BH in haste, and also have the kick attacks, so you don't lose that from Melee Hose.
Feet: Depending on footwork setup, poise shoes (which are getting cheap), or Fuma, are likely the best options here short of the Tantra feet, or Usukane.
Anwig salade with STR+4 Acc+10 Attack+5 WS Acc+15 is pretty awesome upgrade to O-Hat for WS. Get from the Moogle expansion.
Edit: Also the Mirke with Acc and Attack is better than Shura togi, however I don't know if I would bother until I saw MNK AF3 body.

Much appreciation for replies! Didn't even know about some of that gear O.o
Only thing, Black Tathlum is actually like 1.5m vs Thew being 600k >.< or I'd soooo go Tathlum.

Aurore hand and legs are worth using for now. Also, the quest to get the seals for Tantra Crown +1 is soloable so that is a fairly easy to acquire upgrade from Walahra Turban. Aesir Ear Pendant is better than Merman and isn't too hard to get these days. ToAU missions really aren't very hard, especially with the level 85 cap.
If you do manage to get your hands on a Black Belt you can cap haste with just that, Tantra Crown +1, Tantra Hose +1 (Shout groups for these seals are pretty common, plus the NMs can be low manned) and Aurore Hands. That opens up your Feet slot to a kick attacks boot like Poise Shoes (pretty cheap now) or Tantra Gaiters +1 (again, will need to shout for a group or join someone else's). While it's not soloable, you should also check out Tantra Tathlum which is a 100% drop from Ironclad Cleaver in Abyssea - Attohwa.
ACP body is only very marginally better than Shura Togi. I wouldn't bother with it. However the Anwig Salade mentioned by Jax will really help your Asuran Fists. A Flame Gorget would also help it and is soloable aside from the UFO organ, which is duoable.
If you have the money to buy PCC and Thew Bomblet you should check the price on Toreador's Ring. It has come down in price dramatically on Valefore and pairs great with Rajas.

There are lots of cheap options for acc in other slots so don't worry about the black tathlum. Sharpeye Mantle is +12 acc and back piece. There is also Sasuke Tekko which is +13 acc hand piece. Both can be bought at AH and are cheap.
Thanks for all replies, I really appreciate it.
Though I still have to wonder on Asuran vs Tornado Kick.
I've heard Footwork+Kick Shoes make Tornado great, and in exp it always outdid Asuran (in my whole 1 hour I had it >.<) but I would assume on EM->T mobs Asuran might win due to multi-hit and such?
Most importantly though I've hit a real troublesome issue in merits.
I'm currently 8/8 H2H and 6/8 GKT.
Is the 8/8 H2H still as amazing as it used to be in that it increased base DMG? I'm -really- considering meriting sword for BLU and RDM benefit.

They still increase base damage. If you're serious about monk, you should keep those.
Also, the Iron Giant NM that drops Tantra Tathlum and the giant orobon NM that drops mnk af3+2 leg items are both soloable on RDM. The best way to help your monk might be to get that job to 85 and well geared asap.

Tornado Kick seems to be better for me in all situations, however you have to have Footwork up for the kick shoes to make any difference. You can always pop Footwork before the WS and click it off after, but obviously this is only once every 5 mins. I would not ride Footwork full time unless you have Occ. Att. 2-3 times Ursine Claws.
With the amount of ACC we have available to us in current eg (abyss) that you will eventually come accross in atma'a, H2H merits, and merits for jobs with lower weapon grades are the only worth while combat merits.
I <3 SAM too, but I reduced down to 4 because there just not needed, but my H2H and Mark's skill for COR are.

Ahh, sorry, on our server Black Tathlum was only 800k.
Yeah server differences are huge I noticed O.o as is I got Thew for 250k so I am happy :D

Rather than posting a new thread, I'm just gonna ask the same thing as the OP with my own gear set:

Yours is a little bit more difficult, because the only slots you need to upgrade take a little more effort. Other than the obvious upgrades to Tantra +2, here is my thoughts
TP:
Neck: PCC is an upgrade here, though slight, and may not be better for footwork, depending on ACC/Store TP. Would probably rather wait for faith.
Ears: Brutal/Kemas will be a good set, so as long as your working on those, your good.
Body: Aurore Doublet - I would attempt to get the ACP body for this, it's not too difficult, and a solid upgrade.
Belt: Everyone wants a black belt, and with good reason, most of the NM(s) are duo/trioable now, might look into getting the items.
WS:
Head: The MKE hat is ... ungodly, but does cost money, so if you don't want to buy the expansion, Hissho should be fine.
Body: See TP
Ears: your Kamas earring will help here too, probably don't want to use brutal on Asuran if your acc. is good.

If you managed to get Haidate, can't you grab a D.Body? Most just free lot from what i gather as only MNK needs them, and even then theres better options. The cursed togi only costs something like 100k now.
