FOR LEVELLING / SOLO - Priorize STRENGTH / AC. If you have a Fungi, that wil carry you to 50 easy, with some bandages to supplement. Don't need low weight / HP gear until 50+. Certain stuff should be priority - the stuff that you won't replace even after 50. (Silver Chitin Wristband is best in slot until you get Bracer of Benevolence, for instance)

Ear: Black Sapphire Electrum Earring (HP, better at 50+) (1k) / Orc Fang Earring (100-200p) (Strength, better for levelling)
Neck: Dragon Tooth Choker (2k) / Spider Fur Collar (100p) - both have strength.
Face: Crystal Spider Eyes (1k) (HP, better for 50+) / Mask of Wurms (50-100p) (strength, better for levelling)
Head: Dragon Tooth Choker (2k)
Ear: Black Sapphire Electrum Earring (1k) / Orc Fang Earring (100-200p)

Finger: Gem Encrusted Ring (4k) (str, still use this on my 60 monk) / Velium Fire Wedding Ring (250p)
Wrist: Silver Chitin Wristband (4k) (best in Slot til 55+ bracer of benevolence, even with the heavy weight)
Arms: Black Pantherskin Sleeves (1.5k) / Azure Sleeves (100p)
Hands: Gauntlets of Fiery Might (4k)
Wrist: Silver Chitin Wristband (4k)
Finger: Velium FIre Wedding RIng (250p)

Shoulder: Barbed Dragonscale Pauldrons (2.5k) / Wurm Scale Coat (3k)
Back: Dire Wolf-Hide Cloak (1k) / Shimmering Terror Hide Cloak (800p)
Chest: Fungi Tunic (60k)
Waist: Spiked Seahorse Hide Belt (20k)
Legs: Oiled Greaves (2.5k) / Black Pantherskin Leggings (1.5k)
Boots: Barbed Dragonscale Boots (2k) / Footpads of the Tiger (1k)

Primary: Imbued Fighter Staff (10k) / Peacebringer (3k) / Jade Mace (1k)
Secondary: Jade Mace (1k)
Ranged: Idol of the Thorned (1.5k)

Prices are based on the Green server atm.

Again, I would prioritize strength and neglect weight limit until 50+. At 50+, try your best to get under weight, and prioritize HP / AC.

I levelled a monk 1-50 in about 2 weeks with the gear I listed. I was using a Runed Fighter Staff and switched to a T Staff at 50.

I vote jade maces for cheap weps till 20. Then ifs. Also seahorse belt can be bought as low as 15-20k depends who you know how desperate seller is and is just fine till raid gear. 2hb is 100% best for solo, less repo, and dmg shields won't eat you /nod

1.) Fungi
2.) Seahorse Belt
3.) IFS
4.) Cheapest gear you listed in each slot, or even cheaper hehe
5.) SC Wrists
6.) Epic MQ...maybe

A good start! I onlyhave 20k so far so a long way to go, have slowed on my farming briefly to work on my druids epic(which i am justifying will allow me to grind plat more efficiently).

Any good advice in this thread for a 55 druid to make bank for the monk dream is appreciated!!

You can safely skip the SC wrists. Your left over budget should be 10-15k depending on server and spending 8k on wrists is a bad choice. Just get tar goo strands. They are half as good an 1/1000 the price. If you get +hp in every slot you can, you'll be killing it. Before the high end stuff, monk armor is pretty terrible, so it's not a huge difference with/without _all_ the pieces, so don't stress it.

Epic will be huge at 46, so I'd arrange to for some help ahead of time. I don't know what your main is, but generally you can solo or buy MQs for the pipes, then bring a group or two to knock out the fights. So you probably want to save some plat for those and coordinate with your guild/friends about the other epic stuff ahead of time.
