I'm curious why you think this?

In the history of TD there have been 14 Flurry Compatible weapons, 3 of which are Viper Strike Fang and its transmutes, 5 of which are bracer weapons, and 2 of which can only be used in the offhand.

Flurry compatible weapons are incredibly rare, but this is compensated for by having monks able to attack with no weapons at all.

I'd be more interested in things that buffed FoB attacks being available each set (like Ring of Icy Ki).

Who is going to be using common gear? Mostly brand new players. If you have just started playing the game, it's really not clear why a weapon can be used by a monk, but not flurry with it. Using Goblin Sickle as an example, a monk can use one of them, but not two. Because it's too complex?

Having common Flurry weapons is a way for the game to show that they exist. It's really hard to find the list of Monk Flurry-Compatible weapons in the database. It seems like FoB weapons are rare just to be rare.

Why isn't every weapon usable by a monk capable of FoB? Because not every weapon is balanced properly to be swung with enough speed/accuracy to hit with multiple times in a round. A weapon might be perfectly fine to get a single hit in, but unwieldy to swing two at a time.

The token could also just be named some reasonably thematic pirate name maybe Redbeard.
