Monk armor progression?
 

So turning lvl 20 as a monk, I have mostly cured silk armor, and one pair of black pantherskin gloves.

I have haste, good weapons, but am fairly broke and wondering the best armor progression to shoot for. Wu's next?

If you're using cured silk, wu's is a great progression for armor. Let me know if you need some made and I'll assist you with it :)

I have a lot of silk for sure. both bracers, chest, shoulders, legs, feet. If it is worth it. I have about 2.5kp saved in total, but thats IT

Looking at http://wiki.project1999.com/Crescent_Armor_Set

Is that something people normally pay for? It seems like a good set of armor, but out of my level range currently

Crescent is no drop, and only drops on the 2nd and 3rd floors. I was able to Solo a set in my late 30s while camping a piece for the monk shackle quests.

Is Crescent really worth it?

I helped a friend get a full set, but TBH most stats seem kinda junky; wouldn't it be better at mid levels to make sure you have sufficient worn AC to mitigate reasonably, then after that enough HP (to bandage higher, survive nukes and so on) then some resists to shrug off roots while pulling?

Honest questions, I'm no expert on monks!

Crescent is pretty great. Some pieces aren't worth it and it can be annoying when they keep dropping over and over again. Like the stupid headband.

Yep.

With Velious out and black pantherskin available, I'd say skip crescent armor and farm something that you can sell for more black pantherskin pieces.

For bracers you could go with Tar Goo Strands. They are good and fairly cheap.

I snagged a pantherskin tunic, tar goo strands, a lighter helm and ill fill the rest with wu's ;3 thanks a lot
