you can turn any player into a bank if they will /split with you.

/split 2 or /split 10 or w/e depending on how much coin you need to change to pp and it will change your lesser coin to pp and if you both do it you end up with the same amount of money only now its all pp instead of 4512378 copper.

Could also farm Willowisps for greater Lightstones, which sell for 4pp at vendor. Still better than collecting bone chips.

If you sell for 4pp at a vendor, you are missing out on 6pp. Take all the GLS you can carry and go to the Gypsies in NK or the DE's in S Ro. There's one in each camp where you give the stone, they give you a book. You sell the book for 10 pp. I spent my low teens on Wisp Island (Erud's Crossing) soloing wisps with my Enchanter and filled up on stones. I made several hundred pp at turn in time.

This is an awesome way to reduce that coin weight! I learned of this only about a month ago. I even will group up with someone in the zone I am in to do a split. It helps us both.. I no longer destroy all my copper and silver..

If, on my monk, I ever wanted to kill things quickly for the purposes of making plat, I killed things that were easy enough that I didn't often have the danger of dying. If they can't kill me, the monk weight limit doesn't matter. I never had the experience of being a main tank in remotely challenging content, so even in groups the weight limit didn't stop me.

I really only paid attention to weight limits if I was soloing for experience and I couldn't go non-stop, though even then I couldn't tell you how much of a difference the extra AC made.

If you end up using armor and weapons that are heavy enough to put you near or past the weight limit, then you might as well ignore it completely.

There's a bug that allows you to invite yourself and split with yourself. Target yourself and '/invite x'. Anything can be in place of the 'x'. While grouped with yourself, you can split with yourself and turn copper to plat as long as you have at least one plat to start. That is the only effect of being grouped by yourself, as far as I can tell.

It's definitely a bug and may be considered an exploit, though, so this post may not even be considered appropriate...

Also, I never used weapons (just my fists) unless the weapons were VERY light weight (with my monk on live). I guess the damage from the EBM is worth it? I was poor for a LONG time. All of my items / weapons were ones I got myself in groups. I eventually could afford to buy a few nicer upgrades but this was into Luclin times. I made a killing going to the Grimling Forest, collecting Acrylia and selling. This was a HUGE source of money and I could finally get some nice stuff for my monk. :-)
So, I guess you need to decide if the heavier stuff which you are wearing / using / carrying is worth it. You are supposed to be a monk who is above such worldly possessions. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The EBM outpaces fists into the mid 30's. Once Kunark is released we'll start seeing a lot of Knuckledusters, Staff of Shielding, Tranquil Staff etc. which are all vastly superior to a monks bare fist. With the epic the monk fist in primary is one of the best choices all the way through Kunark. I had epic fist+SoS through Kunark and a lot of Velious. There are tons better than epic fist in Velious.

It is kind of a shame, but for balance they couldn't leave the monks naked fist as a dominating weapon in the game.
