You don't strictly need that haste on a monk, you're a puller first and DPS quite second if not third after maybe tanking a mob here and there. You can get a swirlspine for half as much and still out dps many rogues on this server. Better yet join like any raid guild and just show up for phinny til you get a free swirlspine.

I mean there's a lot of prolific posters on P99 forums that say silly things, but this is the first time I've ever heard "puller first, DPS second" about a Monk. Not gonna dig in to you dude I understand the logic but I also wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if this is what nubs are going around saying after 10 years of P99.
Once a camp is broken up you really don't need FD anymore. Also, in my time on Green I'm pretty sure I can count on one hand the number of times I have even played with a Monk, and none of them could "pull" worth a damn. Lots of classes can "pull." My cleric and wizard do it all the time, and very well. Way better than any Monk I've run into. A pull with just a couple casters is very very dangerous for a Monk.
Monk is DPS first. In Kunark they become very powerful. It's also really the only pure melee that can viably solo. If you're saving the money dude get the FBSS. That 5% slower haste or whatever from the Swirlspine adds up to an immeasurable amount of damage you aren't doing, which is an immeasurable amount more damage youll be taking.
Also in Kunark you won't be able to afford a better droppable haste item, also one won't drop for a while. The FBSS price is going down so haggle lower than 15k, you can do it
