Need some help now as a 35 monk regarding gear please.
So my weight hovers at 29 or 30 just from gear. This wasn't a big issue before but I'm getting hit frequently for max damage by blues in MM now. The problem is I need help balancing what I'd be losing in stats and ac when trying to lower my weight. Keep in mind I only have 1.8k and would prefer to maintain some buffer plat for player services.
Right now I'm using this gear: 3 str earrings helm of rile (5 ago 9 str but 4 wt) Plat fire wedding rings golden BP choker Foreman tunic leering mask cured silk shoulders and back cured silk brace Shackle of dust (lol) Iksar scaled gloves kobold hide boots drakescale legs fbss (my crowning hk purchase) Wu quivering for 2h, CoH and kd when training 1hb may have forgotten a slot I also have a shralok pack, stack of food and water and keep the off weapon in the pack since iksar banking issues. The problem is if I switch out, say, helm of rile for crescent headpiece I lose stats and ac. I considered full crescent but I can't get groups in dalnir to camp it. I also feel like cured silk is a general downgrade and wu is too expensive. Is there any way to lower my weight fairly inexpensively without sacrificing a ton of stats from the above gear? I'm not really sure what to do here. Thanks Rayzur | ||

If you switch helm, you might gain ac just because of the weight penalty. Them iksar gloves weigh too much, do the gem inlaid quest that involves the sk gnoll pages and you will loose a couple pounds.

All 4 pages arent no drop, camp on iksar and transfer to a lvl 1 human for hand in. Reward isnt no drop.

Get a sow in qeynos and run to nk. From there you can get a port to bb easy. Even if you pay 100pp for a port. The gloves are very nice.

Your observation that you're getting hit for max damage more often because you're overweight is mostly just in your head. EQ is a game determined by formulas, not the subjective observations we tend to make as players.
While there's no doubt that being overweight makes some difference, it's just wrong to say that an overweight Monk gets slammed all the time. You simply cannot afford to care about getting low weight, both in terms of the platinum and merchant items you'd have destroy, and in terms of getting expensive good (or no drop raid) 0.1 weight gear. Furthermore, when you go over 30 weight, the penalty per extra overweight is miniscule. That being said, your gear seems really stat focused, particularly your necklace is terrible. Focus mainly on AC and HP, have a (small) eye on weight, and STR/STA for stats. Here are some quick things you can buy to increase your AC and HP: Lumberjack's Cap Golden Topaz Earring Robe of Living Fungus Bracers of Erollisi Cured Silk Boots (or Wu's) Drolvarg Mantle Gatorscale Leggings Glowing Bone Collar Sarnak-Hide Mask Werewolf Skin Cloak Bags: Light Burlap Sack / Bag of Sewn Evil-Eye (heavy, but worth it for all the heavy merchant items you can carry) Lionhide Backpack Forager Bag

Obtain a large soiled bag for 100% reduction for small items. For the five monks i've leveled on this server, being between 24-30weight was normal for me. Sometimes when you're close to a blue's level, you just get hit for max damage. I found it's normally when you're about 3-5 levels above a blue where you start to not get hit with max damage too much, but expect it when you're pulling the plate armored MM mobs.
