I started just over a month ago and it has been a rough go. Part of that is because I work so damned much; the other part is that it is a bear for a true newbie to get gear because it is so expensive. Thankfully some very kind folks have helped me out with some weapons, but from my perspective prices on low level monk gear are insane. Then again there are tons of twinked monks out there. Maybe that's why.

I'm sorry, but I just don't see this. Gear in general is more abundant here than it ever was on live (see the rest of this thread for the reasons why). Weapons that would have been considered pretty decent back in live Kunark (~.50 ratio two-handed swords like Blade of Xalgoz, for example) are practically worthless here and get sold to vendors more often than not. Ditto for bronze armor, which as I recall was all most people could afford until the 20s.
Maybe we have different ideas of what constitutes "low-level" monk gear, though. I think Netted or Mesh armor, Clawed Knuckle Rings, and maybe a Fighting Baton and Essence of Dol. I think if you'd had that stuff at level 20 on live you'd have been doing better than average.
