Crescent Armor
 

how hard would it be for a 46 monk with fungi/tstaff unfamiliar with Dalnir to gets some Crescent pants? death wish?

Trivial. Beware the boss unless you have root nets.

how does your resist gear look? i spent a lot of time leveling there on beta and almost everything in the 2nd and 3rd level casts a ton. there's also a lot of runners to be cognizant of, which might be an issue for a monk, especially when trying to break into the second floor.
