don't monks need magic gloves and boots to kick and punch magic enemies as well? I recall magic gloves being important on live for naked newb monks

Yes they do.. Until level 30(or so) when their fists become magic.

There are mundane armours with stats and magic without so that can't be it.

I always wondered if maybe mobs with magic attacks ignored AC from non-magic armour... but I never tested it myself nor seen anyone test it. Although I think it would be a cool idea I suspect whether armour is magic or not makes no difference in the game.

This is true, not all magical items have stats. As a monk you'll find it's difficult to find inexpensive, lightweight boots with stats (emphasis on inexpensive and lightweight, plenty of magic boots that weigh 2-3 stones that are dirt cheap[You must be logged in to view images.

Also lets not forget warriors and rangers would also need magical boots to kick the likes of ghouls, wisps, werewolves etc

Pretty much Wolf Fur slippers or Wu's Fighting Slippers are your only option in the sub 1.0 wt category. Or you can kill Hoshkar.

Yeah those are the ones, thanks for reminding me, gonna make a ghetto twinked monk and gonna need those.

Yea, sadly there is no such thing as netted/woven/mesh sandals/boots. I guess frogloks with their flippers have no desire for shoes!

For you elder pvp sorts -- wasn't there something special about magic items and item loot or something early on when that was a thing? Seems to ring a bell but I can't remember one way or another.

Also, rogues can't pick pocket magical anythings-- looking at you, rogues-in-Highkeep-and-Mistmoore.

monks can get crescent armor from dalnir. good lightweight (and free) option.

I was recently bound in Highkeep and disarmed/picked up every FS short sword on the 1st floor while waiting for a rez. Bet those FS farmers were salty when they turned up.

how are you supposed to role play and pick up hot elf bitches if your scrub armor isn't magical?
