Monks need money too!

[Noleafclover]

I made my first 10-15k on handmade backpacks and Wu's, but with the lack of global auction and the increase in tailors, this isn't as doable.

Except for FBSS and a few others, monk gear's not that expensive. That's the good news. Bad news is, unfortunately, there aren't a ton of great options in classic.

A couple things: Don't worry about weight till level 30. At lv. 50 the ac penalty is 5 per 1 weight, but for much of my career it was close to 1 ac/weight or less. Definitely group in HK, if you're that concerned about money then sell left goblin ears, can get 5-10p per.


Good call farming up an EBM, now farm up a second one. They're awesome till 30, and you can resell then (30 is when fists become better). HQ bear pelts sell well as well, you might be ahead to farm those now instead of bone chips.

A couple other solid platinum camps - ass/sup in LGuk 30-38 or so, you've got a chance at a TBB to wear till FBSS or sell. Efreeti in sol b around 45 or so, just gotta be careful and learn the camp. Unfortunately efreeti isn't super exp, but it's fun and challenging at first (until you get to the room). I hear paineel guards is good platinum, probably starting in your mid thirties. At 50 you can powerlevel for money decently.

Thanks for the info. Great responses to this thread. I appreciate all the feedback from the community! I've got some good ideas now and shouldn't have to spend my 2nd career as a broke monk [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
