Monkey Gear
 

I'm starting a monk alt but I've only got about 1kpp to buy gear for him? What's the best bang for the buck as far as armor and weapons go?

Wu's Quivering Staff is a 2hb weapon that has a pretty sweet dmg/dly ration of 23/28. You can pick one up for 100-150p no problem. From there, maybe as many Wu's armor pieces as you can find and fill in the rest with better stuff? Also, 5ac/55hp rings are going to make a huge difference at early levels.

where can the medicine bags be purchased?

http://wiki.project1999.com/Large_Soiled_Bag would probably be better. 1 stone weight but has 100% WR for things like shurikens, bandages, food, etc.

Wu's armor(crafted), bare fists, onyx earrings

I've been thinking about heading to lower guk on my necro soon. Guess I'll try to get into a group to camp the fbss. From what everyone's saying that sounds like the best use of my time.

What is the FBSS?

New monk here. Also, are there any other haste items are worth picking up for the 1-40 trek?

Flowing black silk sash and I believe you can only have one item with haste.

Soiled bags constantly rotting in SolB if you can get to the bats zoneline though.

... okay, not constantly, but it is a 3/4 drop on a 1/4 spawn on a 22 minute timer.

I agree with the purchase of Wu's Quivering Staff, Trance Sticks x2, and 5ac 55 hp rings x2. From there I think I would save up for Silver Chitin Hand Wraps over FBSS or even much armor. Wraps are 1 more % haste in the glove slot versus belt and half the price. Not too hard to get a pair in EC for 2k with patience.

Also, the hand wraps are pretty much perma farmed and are Lore. If you do a /who all velketor and find out who has Frenzy camped you might be able to pick up a pair cheap if you can go pick them up in zone on a different character. As far as I remember nothing see invis from GD port in to velks entrance but person would have to meet you at ZL since there are see invis spiders on way to camp.

SolB suggestion is good too for Large Soiled Bag. Can confirm they do go to /ooc a decent amount and it's a great item for monks for bandages and shrikens. Good luck!
