While you're working up through the Shackle quests (Rock) you'll need to be in the Kurn's basement killing the Fingered Skeleton. This is also a good opportunity to camp the Skeletal Jester and snag an Iksar Berserker Club as well as the skull to do this quest:

The result is a zero weight, 2AC 5int 10hp/mana neck. Sure, it's better for a Necro but 2AC and 10HP are great for a monk who isn't twinking, especially since the rest of the quest is collecting some easy bits and pieces here and there.
