Monk Budget Gear?

[Masq]

Currently playing a rogue and I'm getting a little tired of sitting LFG during most of my playtime. I wanted to try a monk, can anyone suggest for me some budget monk stuff, preferably around the 5k plat range? I already have HBC and FBSS.

Azure Sleeves
5/55 Rings

Probably better to leave some slots empty and not go overweight.

fbss, trance sticks, 5/55 rings. you're good till 30. Maybe a peacebringer/ifs at 20.

Wu's quivering staff is pretty good and cheap as hell. At least it was a few months back.

Syythrak Hide Vest - 1-2k
Azure sleeves 100
Kobald Hide boots - 200

Pay a necro like 2k to farm you a set of crescent gear in Dalnir.

This doesn't even make sense.

Trance sticks go pretty cheap. Can probably get them for less than 200. You'll actually do pretty good with 5k if you already have fbss and hbc.

Trust me, if you have 5k to blow on a twink toon, you are not poor. I will not see 5k in a long time.

[Masq]

dunno how you can say that really, you can easily make 1k by the time youre level 15 or 20 from a brand new character.

Well there's your problem.

[Valdarious]

Well there's your problem.

That was done because someone gave me some money and I had wanted to start doing the tradeskill. It only cost about 600p to get to that point. Took me about 5 days of 1-2 hour play times to get there.
It also is not reason to say that just because I raised that it still will not take a long time to get 5k saved up.
To be able to save up 5k by the time you are 15 means never buying anything for your character to help him out to get there and knowing ever money secret in the game, which apparently I do not if you guys are rolling in cash as you seem to be. I don't have anything above level 21 here and some of you guys have a couple 50+'s in some cases.

5k might not be typical, but 1k by 15 isn't too out there. Qeynos (rabid wolf/bear), FP (orc belts/scalps) or Faydwer (orc belts/pads/chips) all have low level plat opportunities. And they all have skeletons for bone chips.

Add to that any gifts from higher levels and a starting nest egg should be within reach.
