57 SK should be able to camp like... soothsayer in Droga or Chief in Droga. Can sell those items and buy an FBSS if you wanted.

Monks aren't a great class to solo on unless you twink them heavily IMO. Good grouping class though.

I know I am only level 20 right now, but I have had little issue killing like 3-5 blue mobs, bandaging to 50% then mend to 75%, kill 2-3 more mobs then bandage to 50% again, rest to when mend pops back up and repeat. Does it get alot harder as you get higher?

Yea it's going to slow down a lot I think. I haven't leveled a monk on this server, and all those who I know that soloed through their 40s did so with a Fungi, many with epics.

It may be possible to get there solo untwinked but it will be slow goings from 30-50 I think.

I started my Monk back up on the blue server, have grouped very little up to 37. Geared with mostly cured silk, 55hp rings, a peacebringer and a couple thousand saved up. I farmed sisters in oot then went to hhk guards (still decent xp at 37) to gain some funds. Today I'm going to spend some time in Dalnir to get some Crescent armor pieces, feel free to come down and join me. Name is Ikskr

Dalnir solo at 37 is gonna be a bad time.

Just had to be careful but I got all the pieces on my own. There is a nice spot on the 2nd level close to the drop you can camp for the evokers(slippers), everything is a ph for the kly sarnaks so be patient there. Then on the third floor near the river is another safe spot to camp the rest of the pieces.

Just out of curiosity ... how did you leave Dalnir when on the third floor? The only way out (as a melee) is past the Overseer and he procs a 500dd like crazy. he is very nasty. Did you just race past him and zone out?

Made it passed him four different times to help with a corpse recovery but after I got my armor and was ready to leave, he got me. Died twice, but on my way down for my second cr a friendly bard helped me get my corpse and zone out. Leaving was the toughest part

On the cheap:

5/55 rings x2
Two of: Wu's Trance stick, Cane of Harmony, Cane of the Tranquil, or Fighting Baton (use till level 20 and to skill up each level until you replace with SoS)
Wu's quivering staff (use level 20+ until you can afford better)
Large Soiled Bag
Lionhide backpack or similar .04 weight bag
Any light-weight gloves flagged as magic
Any light-weight shoes flagged as magic
SoW pots.

As you can afford:

SoS x2 [Note: SoS x2 is better DPS than PB or IFS from level 30 to level 60. Better dps than epic fists until level 50. Better DPS than Epic Fist + SoS until low 40s]
Haste Item
Jboots
Tink bag(s)
A PB or IFS for mobs with DS
See invis Item
Fungi Tunic

Work on getting your Robe of the Lost Circle and Robe of the Whistling Fists as you can.

I had a hard time on the third floor at 50...

jade mace + KD, fbss, 55hp rings. no fungi. meager resists
