Fungi vs. haste item for monk?

[Selene]

I'm pretty poor as I have my money and time split amongst several alts, but I have a choice to make for my 52 human monk (no, i will never go iksar): should I farm some more and then spend all my plat on blue for a fungi or just spend what i have on a spiked seahorse hide belt (34% haste)? I have the silver chitin hand wraps and no epic.

I use my mage to drop transfer 10 slot weightless bags of bandages, throwing knives, dispel sticks, ultravision necklace, food/water, etc. It's a really nice way to solo thus far from 1-52. I feel like a fungi wouldn't really change the capabilities on my monk, given that bind wound gets me up to 75% hp really quick. But an upgraded haste from 22% to 34% might just change what i can solo without an epic. It would be a big investment of all my plat so thought i'd ask. Thank you all

What weapons do you have?

[Jimjam]

How much hp do you lose per fight and how long does the fight last?

My order would be epic > Fungi > Tstaff > finish off haste

I use stave of shielding and adamantite club because I like dual wielding. I do have an imbued fighters staff.

if only the epic were attainable for me lol.

In most places I solo in, fights last about 1-2 minutes (lower guk, grobb, sol b, etc). I usually lose anywhere between 50-75% of my hp depending on the mob, sometimes less than that if im lucky. but bind wound with limitless bandages works wonders

Try using ifs more you will take less ripostes and should lead to less downtime in theory. Tstaff stun might be a decent investment it’s really nice

Monk epic is probably the easiest one of all. Even for an unguilded monk on p99 it's pretty attainable. You can camp raster on your own but might need some help with targin and once you get your robe of the lost circle you have a few options. You can try to camp the pipes yourself, or spend some time farming plat to buy a MQ. My 2 favorite plat farming spots for a monk are high keep guards or crystal caverns geos.

Once you're able to get your next robe the final 4 fights are easy and fast. I see people post on here a lot asking for help and there never seems to be a shortage of people who are willing to lend a hand.

Yeah probably easiest to hang out in KC for that pipe and then buy the chardok MQ.

That’s exactly what I did when I did mine. I was in a very small friends guild at the time and just reached out to the community for help and lots of people turned out to lend a hand. I find you can get lots of people to help in here because so many are just looking for something fun to do.

Usually agree with Crede here as well but a long time ago at 52 on my monk I sold my fungi and bought Demon fang loot rights with the plat. I felt like I solo’d far worse with the epic than I did with the fungi. Can’t remember exactly what I was using for weapons but I think it was either IFS or Epic/SoS.

If I were you I’d keep the fungi and do as others have suggested and try to get your epic. The first 3 fights are easy duos and the final fight you can probably post here asking for help and drum up enough support to get Xenovorash dead. Fungi, Epic, IFS and pretty much any haste is good enough to solo to 60 on a monk.
