You have better gear than I did until I was 50ish.

Buying any good 2HB (PB, IFS, TStaff) has been difficult in the past couple weeks because people are hoarding them in anticipation of a price spike when the triple attack / 2hb damage bonus patch comes in. At level 37, PB or IFS will be a little better damage than Jade Mace / Knuckle Dusters and a little worse damage than Jade Mace / Stave of Shielding. As you get more levels, 2HB will be a progressively worse and worse option (until the patch comes out, at which point many monks will stop dual wielding).

Make a copy of this spreadsheet and plug in your level on the Character tab if you want to see what various weapons look like (and feel free to add in more weapons if something you're interested in isn't in the spreadsheet): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...gid=1797596971.

In general, it's good to have both a 2HB weapon (when a mob has a damage shield) and some dual wield weapons (when you need to push a mob to interrupt spell casts).

Getting tink bags and jboots were both life changers for me. Weapons will make you more effective, but bags and movement speed will improve your quality of life.
