After fungi purchase, a couple jade maces, wu's quivering staff for keeping up 2hb skill, and everything else lightweight items with +HP. Save the rest of the money for a cloak of flames and tstaff to purchase down the road.

I'd rather have an epic mq for 46 and a IFS than a T staff.

Just sayin.

Epic + IFS is good, not as good as Epic + Tstaff. What does an epic mq cost these days, can't say that I've seen one for sale.

Cof is dumb. It’s so much money for 50 extra hp. Just get a ccow or get a seahorse for 2% less haste and basically the same hp

My priority would be fungi > seahorse belt > epic > Tstaff. That wep is so broke for being a KC drop.

No shit. Hes on a 100k budget though.

Do the math.

Fungi, Seahorse, IFS, epic is the best way to spend (approx) 100k on a monk. If theres a tid bit leftover just get some nice lightweight HP/STR items.

Doing a quick search on forum, monk epic is 75-100kpp. He only has 40kpp to work with after fungi. Tstaff is 50kpp. I'll stick with my original advice, go with fungi, 2 jade mace and fbss, which leaves him with about 37kpp. 2 jade mace > IFS, just get a wu's quivering staff for 2hb skill ups. Then buy a Tstaff in mid 20s when you have 50kpp. Or keep saving and get an epic for 75kpp, then save another 50kpp for Tstaff.

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.

Don't go cheap on the haste. If anything, get a 34-36% haste and then fill in the rest with whatever you can find. Especially if using IFS.

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
