Hi to you who prefer to smack people with some knuckles!

Monks are great with hands and feet; they choose to fight with their fists despite having other weapons to pick. They are light on their feet and speed. Here are some weapons you might want to add to the collection!

15. Seeing Horde Knuckles

Unleash the angst within!

Dark purple-themed weapon with an outstanding VFX. You may want to add this to your glamour if you love the dark side.

How to get it:

  • To craft, you will have to finish the trial to get the material necessary, The Minstrel's Ballad: Nidhogg's Rage, to get the Nidhogg's Scale item.
  • Or buy from the Market Board.

14. Augmented Zelos

Strike true and through!

A dark purple circle will appear when the weapon is drawn. This looks very cool if you can match it up with your glam!

How to get it:

  • To craft, you will have to finish the trial to get the material necessary, The Minstrel's Ballad: Hades's Elegy, to get Hades's Auracite item.
  • Or buy from the Market Board.

13. Empyrean Fists

I can do this all day!

Burning orange fists, don't worry, it will not burn your hand to ashes. You will need a bit of grinding to get this weapon from the Heaven-on-High deep dungeon.

How to get it:

  • Do the Heaven-on-High deep dungeon,
  • Trade 10 Empyrean Aetherpool Grip to Confederate Custodian in The Ruby Sea.

12. Augmented Lunar Envoy's Sainti

Show your heart shape!

This weapon is trending in FFXIV Community right now, with the gpose of "show me your heart shape." Many participate on Twitter.

How to get it:

  • Trade Lunar Envoy's Sainti and one Moonshine Brine to get an Augmented Lunar Envoy's Sainti.
  • To get one Moonshine Brine, you will need 4 Abyssos Mythos III (Completing the Abyssos: Seventh Circle [Savage] 4 times)

11. Shiryu's Ephemeral Claws

How would you glam it?

Shinryu has this green-toned effect on all of the weapons. This may be hard to mix with some glamour most of the time, but the claws look stunning regardless.

How to get it:

  • To craft, you will have to finish the trial to get the material necessary, The Minstrel's Ballad: Shinryu's Domain, to get the Shinryu's Scale item.
  • Or buy from the Market Board.

10. Tsukuyomi's Moonlit Crescent

Looking sharp!

If you like a simple yet elegant weapon, then this is your weapon of choice. It is simple, nice, elegant, and suitable for most occasions!

How to get it:

  • To craft, you will have to finish the trial to get the material necessary, The Minstrel's Ballad: Tsukuyomi's Pain, to get the Celestial Kimono Remnant item.

How to get it:

  • Complete the quest 'Kettle to the Mettle' to get this weapon.

7. Kinna Claws

Looks deadly!

Kinna claws are for you if you prefer a cool-looking weapon. It is from a deep dungeon, so you have to do some farming.

How to get it:

  • Do the Palace of the Dead deep dungeon,
  • Trade 1 Padjali Claws and 6 Aetherpool Grip to E-Una-Kotor in South Shroud.

6. Dumuzis Physeos

With blades attached? Why not!

Dumuzis Physeos requires farming and dedication. You will need to complete the whole of Eureka Island to get this weapon. But the effect of this weapon is worth it.

How to get it:

  • Clear the quest 'The Baldesion Arsenal,'
  • Trade 1 Torigashira Eureka and 100 Eureka Fragment to Gerolt in Eureka Hydatos.

5. Blade's Serenity

Amazing visuals and effect!

A relic weapon from Shadowbringer. The quests are enjoyable, not as grindy as Eureka, and definitely worth the try if you like the style!

How to get it:

  • Complete the quest 'Irresistible', to get one of the relic weapons of your choosing.

4. Ultimate Dreadwyrm Claws

Worth the hardship? Absolutely!

If you prefer a shining weapon, this is the one you must have; golden claws with exceptional VFX. Though to get it, you may have to complete an Ultimate Raid.

How to get it:

  • You have to clear The Unending Coil of Bahamut (Ultimate) to get a token,
  • Trade the token in Rhalgr's Reach with the NPC Eschina.

3. Sphairai Ultima

Nice Fists!

How to get it:

  • You have to clear Ultima Weapon (Ultimate) to get a token,
  • Trade the token in Rhalgr's Reach with the NPC Eschina.

2. Ultimate Verethragna

Ready your stances!

With a clockwork effect to show that you are one of the top players that have completed the Ultimate! It even looks good when sheathe.

How to get it:

  • You have to clear The Epic of Alexander (Ultimate),
  • Trade the token in Idyllshire with the NPC Bertana.

1. Ultimate Knuckles of the Heavens

To protect is to attack!

Hail from the latest and hardest ultimate, this silver-golden weapon in your hands will make the wearer looks fancy. What is a better weapon that suits a hero?

How to get it:

  • You have to clear Dragonsongs Reprise (Ultimate) to get a token,
  • Trade the token in Radz-at-Han, with the NPC Nesvaaz.

There you have it! 15 Knuckles/Claws/Fists you might want to have! Which one intrigues you the most? Would you like to have it easy or hard or maybe the grindy one?
