biwan:

I don't understand what you want. You say you want to know about weapons, but yet you say you want TKM (unarmed). I am going to assume you want to be a master brawler AND TKM, so you would need all the novice melee trees.

At novice you start out with being able to use a dagger, survival knife, wood staff, and an axe (forgot real name but it will tell you in your character certification screen). I recommend you start out doing 1 hand swords or 2h swords first since you get certified for good weapons by your second block. So start with a survival knife or the lowbie axe. After you get skillblock 1 of one-hand or 2-hand, then get a decent (not expensive) curved sword or 2hand axe. When you hit skillbox 2 in 1-hand get a good vibroblade or if in 2-hand get a good 2-hand curved sword. When I say good, I mean not bazaar, get it from a good weaponsmith because you are going to be using this weapon the rest of your time completing that skill in brawler. Now continue to move up either 1-hand or 2-hand swords through block 4. Once you have 1 of your sword trees to block 4, move on to the other sword tree, it will go much faster now because if you get in any trouble, you can just whip out sword that you have block 4 done in and save yourself. Now you have both sword professions done for brawler, move on to unarmed. For unarmed, even though you are not certified, you can use vibroknucklers for the speed you get, but you do take a damage reduction with them. Last move to polearms starting with your wood staff, then a metal staff, then basic lance, and when you get block 3 get yourself a good long vibro axe (the last polearm you will use). So there you have your weapon progression.

If you are going just TKA, the only thing you have to do is the unarmed portion of Brawler and therefore no weapons needed. The reason I gave the above progression is because most newbs are short on cash, starting my example above in 1-handed will give you the easiest progression concerning cash since the first time you purchase a good weapon, it will be the cheapest one (vibroblade) but still one of the best weapon certs we get. By the time you need your next good sword, you should have enough money saved up for it since 2-hand curved sword tend to be more expensive. And lastly, you do polearms last because you have to buy several weapons.
