too lazy to do the math, think I'm missing a cloak and bracers. If you can snag a HBC or Granite Bracers, those are ideal. However, those are kind of pricey so maybe snag bracers of battle or something. BTW, there could be better cheap items than the ones I listed available, those were just the items that first came to mind off the top of my head. Hunt around a bit, for some slots there are quite a few options, and for others you're really limited.

The expensive items I listed above I think are best value, but not best in slot. Some bigger ticket items that will last you longer and to think about are:

HBC - 2.5k
Grainte Bracers - 3.5k
Gatorscale Leggings - 1-1.5k
Black Saph Earrings - 4-5k ea.
Black Saph Neck - 4-5k
Crown of King Tranix - 8-9k
Djarns Amethyst Ring - 7k?
TBB - 2-3k

Also, quest your RotLC as soon as you can. The other options for monk chest item kind of blow (lockjaw, foreman's, and sythrax (sp) hide).

EDIT: I don't know who made that P99 wiki entry, but I'd disagree with some of their choices. They are clearly gearing for STR (dps) and not AC/Resist/HP (pulling).

Wouldn't you want to buy twink weapons as well? AFAIK there are some 1hb you can get that are better than fists until 40ish.
