New monk gear question

[Dazbonez]

I managed to get to the mid 20's so far, i got 2 trance sticks and 2x 5 ac 55hp rings (I had to lvl a druid to camp nybrights to save up enough). The pulling mechanics on this server are great compared to what i was used to so im getting a good reputation for pulling dungeons and getting xp groups hasnt been hard. I have had trouble getting any kind of cash saved up on my monk it seems like he barely makes enough plat to cover his cost of knives/bandages/food. Does this get better in the 30s/40s? Im trying to loot whenever i can but its just never worth much.

Given that any plat i can make will be slow coming and hard earned is there something specific i should save for now? Would i be best off saving for an fbss or something that im going to get the best mileage possible out of even though it means i wont get any other upgrades for some time? Or should i look at getting better weapons?

As you get higher level mobs will start to drop 1-5 platinum in raw coin each death and will have FS weapons (4-6p each) a lot of the time. Additionally you can start soloing the couple gargoyles near pond in mistmoore now that you're mid 20's which have a chance at dropping eyes which NPC for 9p each.

Edit: You may also consider riding the boat out to gargoyle island in OoT (double check the lvl of the gargs before doing this, but I think with a Wu's quivering and plenty of bandages you can stay there for a good while and build up some decent platinum piles).
