![]() Hey all -
I've been playing a Monk primarily the last few days, and have a question about gearing at the early to mid-levels. Currently I'm stacking items that have HP on them, and maybe a stat or two that comes along with it. Is the right path to go for a monk at level 8 and up? Or should I be focusing on STA/STR/DEX? I've been forgoing most of these stats in favor of HP (which I find is helpful). For example, I have two of these rings on currently: Obsidian Ring AC: 3 DEX: +3 HP: +10 But I've been looking at getting the Clawed Knuckle Ring instead which has these stats: Clawed Knuckle-Ring HP: +20 Should I forgo the AC & DEX for the additional +20 HP (considering two rings)? ----------- And another question -- I can't seem to find a good Robe/Chest piece to wear for my monk. Nothing seems to look good. Currently i'm wearing Mesh for my chestpiece, but would like to find something with stats on it (HP!) -- and that is cheap -- say 50pp-ish. And I can't find any bracers to wear that would have some stats either. Currently I don't have any bracers at all. Again would be nice to find some bracers that are around 25-50pp, and have some stats. Any suggestions? Thanks all!

![]() Thanks to both! The list is very helpful and gives me some direction, as well as a tip on those JC +5AC +55 rings (albeit expensive rings for my current state).

![]() Oh and back to my original question, is it better to forgo the AC and DEX in favor of HP? Should I grab those 2x Clawed Knuckle rings over using 2x Obsidian Rings?

![]() Obsidian rings are much better than clawed-knuckle rings. The ac will help more than the extra 10 hp. Save for Jagged Bands once you have other slots with hp.
I played a monk for years, so i'm going to toss out some loose recommendations based on my knowledge of the current market and game availability for low to mid levels. Ears: ?? 2ac ears or 2 str ears at first, Others seem to be expensive. Forgive my lack of knowledge here Neck: Collar of undead protection 10pp or less. Head: Fine silk turban drops off of lvl 24 SG in SRO. Best monk head for a long time, otherwise do quests for headbands. Face: Split Paw Hide is wicked cheap on vendors if you can't find better, otherwise dented mask Arms: Azure arms sell for around 50pp. You won't find better until kunark or beyond imo. Gloves: Wu's Fighting gloves. Makes your bare handed attacks magical! (Magic Kung Fu! Wooo-taaa! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]) Split paw gloves are heavier, but work as magical gloves as well. (And is vendor buyable for less than 5pp) Rings: Keep the obsidian for now, upgrade to jagged bands / hp rings later Chest: Lockjaw Vest (lvl 25 named gator in oasis), Your mesh conundrum can be solved by checking vendors in the commons / fp area, but that is a temporary fix in the long run. Waist: Monk Sash. Do the quests. You'll love it. It's a way of life. Weapons: Glowing wooden crook is 50-100pp? If you can afford the weight it is nice. Drops off of Lockjaw as well. Save for enameled black maces and use fists otherwise. Range: Kerran toy quest when you can, otherwise just load up some shurikens for ninja time! Split paw eye is weightless and a light source as well. IMHO Wu's armor to fill in slots. It isn't expensive in the grand scheme of things, vendor dive at tailors or find some one to make them for you for mats. Remember, you have a weight soft cap. I can't remember if it is 14 or 16 in classic. Happy Wushu-ing. | ||

![]() Huh -
Your post is INFINITELY helpful. Thank you very much. I will hop on my toon shortly and repost what I already have. Some of the stuff you mentioned I ended up getting already (just by figuring were good items). The biggest and BEST investment I've made was to get dual-Enameled Black Maces. Given I spent pretty much all my cash on them, which is why I'm now "budget" buying. That tip about the Wu's gloves making your fist attacks magical! I didn't know that! How cool. I already picked up the Purity Belt for my waist, so I'll try to work on the Monk Sashes in the meantime. I have the White Sash, but I don't think I can kill the mobs required for the yellow belt yet. Thanks again Huh!

![]() I forget, but if I recall correctly you also need magical boots for certain monk attacks.
