Monk Twink Guide
 

Hi guys, I searched the forums a bit and found a few guides on monk twinkage, BUT either one of two things happened, the money was too vast for me to spend, or it was pre Kunarks launch (lots of new monk stuff).

So my question is this: I have 5k, what should I twink my monk with???

Hat: Executioner's Hood
Mask:
Earrings:
Chest:
Arms:
Waist:
Wrist:
Legs:
Gloves:
Necklace:
Shoulders:
Cape:
Boots:
Rings: 5ac 55hp
Main Hand:
Off Hand:
Ranged:

fungi tunic or its not a twink

If 5k is your budget cap, something like this:

Hat: Executioner's Hood (isn't froglok crown a few hundred nowadays? I'd get that)
Mask: Sarnak Hide Mask
Earrings: really anything with a bit of AC. Maybe just brass earrings. Twink earrings are hugely expensive in proportion to the stats they give, so don't waste money there with such a limited budget.
Chest: Fungus robe or Wu's
Arms: Azure Sleeves
Waist: Wu's
Wrist: Wu's
Legs: Wu's
Gloves: Wu's
Necklace: Glowing Bone Collar
Shoulders: Wu's
Cape: Wu's
Boots: Wu's
Rings: 5ac 55hp
Main Hand: Wu's Quivering Staff
Off Hand: -
Ranged: -

Then possibly buy an Evil-Eye bag and that other bag from ass/sup in lguk. If that leaves you with excess money, you're better off banking it and starting the long and arduous process of saving up for a haste item or better weapons. Don't spend too much money on armor as you can start getting Crescent stuff in Dalnir at level 25-30ish.

You can also try farming some stuff with your enchanter. You should be able to handle the cloaked Dhamphyre for a HBC. Or the easier route is get a werewolf hide cloak from a werewolf and do the quest in Everfrost for the 3str cloak there.

Going full wu's (guy on EC boards sells sets for 500p), getting some 5ac55hp rings and then spending the leftover plat on strong weapons isn't a bad route either.

Get a fungi robe. Stats on it are still great and they're cheap now. Also kobold hide boots, cloak of leaves, wu's armor, serp bracer, hero bracers if you don't mind the weight.

Fbss/ full wu/ 2 trance sticks and a fungi.

And a heiro cloak...

i wish. cant afford any haste yet it seems with a budget of 5k

and to GreatDane, you think i should go with Quivering Staff 2hander instead of say 2 batons? or a baton and a CoT?

A cheap way to get haste is to find out if anyone is doing the TT forager cycle. Log your monk at the entrance to TT (assuming you're going iksar this should be easy). Then just have them drag Hangman to the zoneline and kill it when it there when it spawns. Hooking whoever up with crack/haste will probably be enough to bribe them into doing this for ya.

Sorry bro but if all you got to burn is 5k youre not twinking, youre just making an alt.

Your rings are good. Your money should be spent on the best pair of 1Hers you can afford. Haste is very important, but you won't get it for less than 10k.

Trance Sticks are reasonable -- I occasionally see them for less than 1kpp each in EC. They're a lot of fun, but generate a lot of aggro in groups.
