30 untwined monk

[stebbins99]

Jimjam, please let me know if you end up trying out that Swiftclaw Sash! I'm an untwinked 31 Iksar Monk and in a very similar situation gear-wise (ie no haste)-- Wu's staff and a bunch of misc/lowbie gear. Would love to hear how that goes if you try.

I've been trying to save up plat for a haste item but FBSS and SCHW still seem far from reach ATM. This sash could be a nice stopgap if not too tricky + faction willing.

PS - I got some awesome feedback from these guys above + others in terms of level-30 hunting spots. Here's the thread: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=292701

isn't SCHW about 1.6kpp?
That's about 3-4 hours of guard farming in HighKeep?
On a class that does not need to buy spell, you "should" naturally have about 1~2kpp in bank by level 30, I think... being completely untwinked can lower that amount I guess, and being Monk also, depending how you play... looting all these little rusty weapons, words, cracked staff, etc. really adds up.

However I really feel that Haste will do the biggest difference in solo capacity.

I have the SCHW since level 1 cause I'm a filthy twink, but I know that the buff I see an immediate crazy difference in my xp gains is definitely any form of Haste Buff. I would take Augmentation over any kind of Chloroplast, Heroic Bond or Damage Shield, Haste is just crazy; kill faster, take less damage, less downtime... you know the maths.

tl;dr buy the SCHW, they are not expensive by any means. and you see one for sale in EC pretty much any time of the day and night. afaik always in the 1,400~1,700pp range.
