Going overweight also hurts your AGI and movement speed, or is this different with monks?

When people are talking about going overweight here, they mean going over the monk weight limit (14 pounds), not going over the character's STR-based encumbrance limit.

I was hoping to get some suggestions on upgrades post 30 for my monk. Currently I am using a Wu's Quivering Staff, however I am planning on purchasing an IFS for 30+. I am wondering what would be the best reasonable upgrades (10k or less) for my monk while keeping under or close to the weight limit. See my equipment list at 30:

Imbued Fighters Staff - 4 stones
Jade Mace - 2.1 stones
Knuckle Dusters - 1 stone
Foreman's Tunic - 0 stones
White Wolf-Hide Cloak - .3 stone
Gem Inlaid Gauntlets - 1 stone
Cured Silk Mantle - .1 stone
Golden Amber Earring - .1 stone
Shrunken Golbin Skull Earring - .1 stone
Platinum Fire Wedding Ring x2 - .1 stone
Glowing Bone Collar - .4 stone
Electrum Bracelet x2 - .4 stone
Wolf Fur Slippers - .5 stone
Targishan's Bone Mask - 0 stones
Drake-Hide Leggings - .1 stone
Executioner's Hood - .2 stone
Flowing Black Silk Sash - .1 stone
Azure Sleeves - .6 stone
Large Soiled Bag - 1 stone
Dusty Ransacker's Pack - .4 stone

Total Weight (asssuming IFS is equiped) = 12.3


Any and all suggestions are welcome.

According to the wiki, gem inlaid gauntlets weigh 1.0 and your mask weighs 0.0.

Crescent legs, boots, and gloves might be right for you.
