[Phantasm]

What I did as an iksar monk:
Field of Bone -> Kurn's Tower(ASAP) -> Lake of Ill Omen -> The Overthere -> City of Mist/Dreadlands -> Karnor's Castle/Howling Stones/Old Sebilis.

I advise STA as your starting stat allocation. You can monk at any price range, get +hp items, haste, and decent weapons and youll be set. They dont have to be amazing, get something like a Wu's Quivering Staff (2hb).

Not many quests i went out of my way to do but they provide you with lore l, starting funds and experience so nothing wrong with doing them.

I dont recommend going to Droga/Nurga as they just cast too damn much. Same goes for Kaesora, though not as many.
