Making a monk

[Rakurai]

About how much plat do I need to make a decent twink monk? I am not talking about super twink with Fungi and worn haste right out of the gate, just a few neat lil weaps and some other smaller items to get me by. Thanks!

1k and you can be set for a very long time.
2 master wu's trance sticks 300p
2 hp/ac rings 500p
iksar hide mask 150p
griffon talon gloves 50p

If you are starting an iksar let me know, i would really love a partner to level with. just started and am lvl 2. name is Dalaii

I am thinking not Iksar due to the exp penalty and me not having a TON of time to dedicate to it as I like my DRU and Rogue a lot also. Also I like being able to get into other cities versus. Have not made an iksar though... are the zones around Cabilis well populated? If so I might roll iksar as I think they are neat lol!

Wu's Quivering Staff 100p
2x 5/55 rings 500p
2x Golden Jaded Bracelet 60p
Wu's Gloves 50p
Drake-Hide Sleeves 50p
2x Rat Tooth Earrings 10p
Beartooth Necklace 10p

780p total, good enough DPS to 50 if you never upgrade anything on the way, can hit all mobs with your fist attacks, 170 additional hp.

Iksars regen twice as fast, and faster 51+, which means your downtime is cut in half when you're soloing, so it's kind of a wash between Humans and Iksars when it comes to exping. They're both fun though.

Field of Bone and Kurn's Tower are always packed. /w all field or /w all kurn and you will see.

Those two combos are very interesting but brought up a good question... Dual Wield or 2hb?

2hb is a hard thing to sell for level 1-20, mainly because of the damage cap

after 20? you decide [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

True, but both are excellent leveling spots.
