Hmm did greystone weapon and was there for 18 hours, none of the mobs taught me anything. It has been more than a week though so maybe it went live in this patch.

 Dragon rakes its claw 3 cost42 end -melee plus 136 add one jin  hits all opponents in front of you.

Whirlling storm 5- 42 end melee plus 143 hit all opponents in 10 m  jin +1.

Boggle. Mastery skill less than the common skill.

Cylus I hope you get a chance to look at this. First I think that monk itemization on weapons has improved since release thanks for the hard work and listening to us. I know you are trying to stay with lore on many of these quests but there is not a single fist reward that is heroic or legendary.
 I can only speak for dragon class but I prefer to use fist weapons for proc from stance and secrets. I also prefer the increase crit rate on these types of weapons to open up finishers.

A quick review of the heroic quest items:

CIS line- Zank staff
Parth-no monk item to my knowledge (I cannot say for certain there is not one, but after many in my guild have completed none have appeared)
Darguns- Staff
Arena- Tranq staff crossover weapon for monk/disc
Graystone-Bladestaff/martial sword

Ceros does have a fist reward (thanks) but it is rare only and not on par with the end rewards at parth or Graystone.

In the Graystone line there is 10 options with a optional turn in for a great maul, even a bow option is included. Missing is any fist, knuckle, claw. I don't think all heroic/ legend quests need a HTH weapon but how bout just 1.
