Choosing a good Monk Weapon

An in depth guide on the best monk weapons you can get your hands on!

Introduction Part 1

I will now explain how this guide will be done. For every weapon I suggest, I will farm 3 of them.
At the beginning, I was just going to farm one, but that was too RNG based for me. Please note, even with 3 of each weapons, this guide is still has some RNG in it. When I do my comparison at the end, I will say if there was an extreme outlier.

Introduction Part 2

An imoporant thing I need to say before I begin is this guide will NOT include the Eternian Spear, for a couple of reasons. First off, by the way I'm doing this guide, farming THREE Eternian Spears for a srcutinizing analysis would take forever. Second, this isn't meant to be the most end-game guide. This guide is meant for those whose who want to make a boost monk, but not for their main DPS. If your main DPS is going to be Monk, go farm an Ult++ Spear, it will do you wonders.

Monk Wrench

The Monk Wrench, which is my favorite monl weapomn, is also the easiest to farm on this list, with maybe the exception of Halberd. None of the ones I got were good, so you would probably have to do this map 15+ times to get a good one. This one was the worst, and quite bad.

I really liked this one, a great melee one, considering melee Wrenches are a little suspect.


My favorite one, but I'm a bit biased towards ranged Wrenches.


All in all, one of the strongest groups of weapons I farmed today.

Lemurian Halberd

Ugh. While the Lemurian Halberd is normally a great weapon, I had some terrible RNG and got easily the worst three compared to all the other classes. Do no let this put you off, these weapons can be incredibly strong with their 8 projectiles.


Bleh. What garbage.



A bit better, but still absolute trash.




The best one, and half-decent.

Obsidian Sparus

The sparus, the best weapon on here. Yes, I did make a ranged sparus. It had 400 melee damage and 8k ranged with a good projectile speed and already maxed plus projectiles.


A pretty good Sparus. Should shred some ogres.



A little better sparus, not much better though.



The ranged sparus. Seemed decent, even with the lower DPS than the better melee.

Gamblers Polearm

I consider the Gamblers Polearm to be one of the most underrated weapons in the game. It can be an extremely powerful ranged weapon. I highly reccomend it


UGH. I had to go melee on this because this Polearm added no additional projectiles.


A pretty garbage one.



The best weapon I got today.

Closing

About the RNG here. The Sparus and Polearms were average, but the Wrenches and Halberds were horrendus. Please remember, all the weapons I chose were good, but the Sparus is the best choice.
Thanks for taking the time to read my guide, and leave some positive feedback in you enjoyed of this helped you.

Quietus aren't that good, I've farmed Moonbase NMHC so many times(fish/ToT sell for well to the community), and the Quietus I get arent usually that good, well, they are for lvl74-78 but thats about it. Espears are hard to get without a squad of DPS heros(Barbarian and DPS/booster Monk, with Jester/huntress/EV as support), but Obsidian Sparus's are quite easy to get(if you have a few Mega Chickens and a good Cat), even into High Levels(90-100).

Quietus are not good?

The guide above shows a list of useful weapons for DPS, and advice on how to build a DPS hero. (Credit for guide belongs to pewpewpew)

Someone know of (or can post here) a list of all the best/special weapons irregardless of class?

After a bunch of lab runs, I've sold like 600 weapons, and I'm guessing that, having already grinded a single class up to 95, that I probably had some great weapons that weren't obviously really good looking just at their stats, and wouldn't be surprised if I threw away something great.

For example, if I had a Bloodsport with no normal ranged damaged and good elemental, I might have tossed it if I didn't know that "Bloodsport" was special. Or even BFDrill if I didn't know it can shoot through things since that's also not something you can see just from it's stats.

So I'd really like a list of best weapons so that I'll know to be careful to take a good look at the best ones before deciding to keep them.

OK

[Get Rekt Nation]

It depends on what you are capable of doing. I would reccomend a wrench or the Sparus. If you can farm the sparus, do that. If not, do the wrench. If you cant farm the wrench, i can either help you with that or you should get your builders up. The polearms and halberds are not the greatest, i just put them on here becuase i enjoy using them and they are viable.

[Quiche078]

So, you'd recommend the Sparus or the Polearm? I managed to get a polearm and by DPS it wasn't too bad, but it had 4 stat reductions, 3 of which on DPS stats...

[Get Rekt Nation]

no problem man glad to help let me know if there is anything else i can do for you

[Quiche078]

The guide has solid information, and it is useful information, particularly at the point in the game that I am (level 92 with little DPS.)

Thank you for helping, and overall a good guide.
