New Monk to P99

[Tiewon Shu]

Hello all! New player here. I started a monk because it was one of my favorite classes back in D&D. I began in Qeynos and got some decent XP. I'm level 14 and looking for a new place to level as Blackburrow is getting dull.

Also, is there anything else besides cloth and leather that I can wear? Is there any place I can hunt my level to get decent monk armor/items?

Thanks!

I'm regretting having had rolled a Monk.

Why are there so damned many? I mean, I get that we're cool and all, but damn.

Monks are a good class man. They can fill dps, tank, and puller roles quite well. I can tank KC cy groups with ease and hand/WL groups with slow pretty good too. Monk dps is great and monks are obviously one of the best pulling classes. A lot of groups I've been in lately have had 2-3 monks.

My highest character was a Monk back in classic and my biggest gripe was how hard it is to make money and be effective because of the weight limit. One bronze weapon and you're over it!

You won't need to worry about that too much until you're much higher level honestly. I duo with a monk and he's 46 now and he's pretty much always encumbered and seems to do just fine.

If you have magic weapons, go to North Karana and get a bind at the gypsy camp. Kill wisps and turn in their greater lighstones for the best money and exp in the game for that level.

If you don't have magic weapons yet, try hunting bandits in West Karana and turning in their sashes to the paladin guild in South Qeynos for a bronze weapon that sells for a few plat each.

As for gear, you will pretty much have to trek to East Commonlands tunnel to get anything. Save up about 250p and then ask for a port to WC (you will have to go to North Karana to find a port). Try to buy a full set of cured silk armor and a Wu's Quivering Staff. This will last you a very very long time.

The monk weight limit should pretty much be ignored (within reason) while leveling. Always try to fight near a vendor and use the buy/resell tactics to get rid of gold/silver/copper.

The ONLY class I ever played on live was a Monk. Rolled one here because I love it, and also didn't expect to have to compete with half the server population.

I have no qualms with the class. Love it. Always have, always will. I have no interest in going into to a raid with/against 9 other Monks.

I am making cured silk sets for 20pp if you provide the silk, could go 15pp if you are low on cash. See the following thread and reply there if you wish.

If you level up in South Karana you can sell your drops to Krak Windchaser using sneak, with your heavy coin you just made buy topaz, it stacks, weighs .1, sells back for around 5pp and he has an unlimited supply.

You can also train new skills as you level off of Brother Qwinn, very handy not having to run back to town.

Bind at the gypsy camp in North Karana, short corpse run you can take bigger risks.

I think I went to SK around 15 and stayed until 34 or 35... I made a couple thousand plat from vendoring the topaz back in town and learned all my skills from Qwinn.

Forgot to add: buy Medicine bags, theres a vendor near the Qeynos bank. They weigh .4 , 8 slots, large capacity, as opposed to backpacks that weigh 3.0. They cost around 1 plat.

Welcome to the server! :)

Turn in gnoll fangs until level 20 then try and find a port out. If you don't have 100pp by then go farm sisters in lfay and buy a wu's quivering staff(or just go there now at lv 14).

From there you either want to do unrest to 22 then mistmoore to 30 or go to upper guk 20-30 or do both :) Just remember to bind in nearby cities once you leave Qeynos.

Even on human I highly recommend killing High Hold Keep guards from 30-40, that place is Monk paradise. Each kill is 5pp and you can sell, bind and FD bank nearby. Some guards in freeport will hate you but it's well worth it since you can fund your entire monk set off that place. I think I made something like 12k from 30-42...

Na forget the sisters. Best thing to do is get some medicine bags and kill bandits in the karanas for bandit sashes. They weight next to nothing are no drop non stackable. Collect as many as you can and turn them in south qeynos. They give exp, good faction, gold, and a random bronze weapon you can sell.

And when you new monks do get around 30, I'll do some Dalnir runs for crescent pieces/sets for ya'll for free. Just pm or find Making in game.

+1 more for the bandit sashes. The best part about it is, there is a vendor who stands literally right next to the quest turn in dude, so when you are rocking like 400 lbs of bronze weapons and cant move, you can unload them right there. Great quest, great xp.

Agreed. bandits and Greater lightsotne for cash. Once again, qeynos is the best starting area for money hands down.
Edit: also since most of the Antonica population is on teh FP side. Its harder to get groups. The trade-off is that a lot of solo-only players choose the karanas, but with persistence (and YOU forming the groups) parties can happen.

I remember on live one my first Character was a Monk and this frustrated me so badly that I decided to follow the road to Freeport. I ended up in the Kithicor and not knowing to follow the walls..

Needless to say I was still bound in Qeynos and ended up doing this very thing.
