Hello, new monk here!

[Bumsen]

Hey server, I started playing here a couple days ago; after a ~9 year break from EQ. Pretty cool to go back in time and play on a classic server.

I don't remember a lot about the game, and its a (re)learning experience for me. Are there any easy to get lowbie weapons I should be aiming to get at level 6? Or am I pretty much going to be using my fists a while?
I managed to find my way back to Crushbone, I remembered that I liked leveling here before. Is this a good place to level for a human monk?
