Monk weight restrictions

[Daldaen]

Hmm maybe I just carry too much, but I doubt it compared to other monks.

2 stacks of javs
2 stacks of peridots (weightless currency)
Larrikan's mask
6 invis rings
5 Root Nets
3 Pumice
1 Golem Wand
Midnight Mallet
Slowstone Amber
WC Cap
Reaper of the Dead
DA Idol
JBoots
Holgresh Beads
2 SoW potions
Null Potion
Robe of Whistling
Bracer of Hidden
T Staff
Stave of Shielding
2 Tash Sticks
2 MR Rings
2 Diamond Rings
2 BD Bracers
Froglok Crown
Fishbone Earring
2 Soulbound keys
PR Flower
10 stacks of bandages (this is a huge bag sink but I'm leveling so they're useful)

This is just starting though. Once I finish leveling him those bandage slots will just be filled with more things. I still need to get a Pegasus Cloak, more PoMischief Flowers, another stack or two of Javelins, a couple wort potions, maybe a goblin ear to hold buff slots so I don't have to spam epic while getting buffed. Etc.

Clickies extend your ability to do things hugely. Being able to invis self, root, dispell, DA, gate, Eye of Zomm, CH self and SoW self is very helpful! For leveling in a group not really, but pulling on a raid they all have their value.

Even just soloing, having those root nets is hugely helpful to just off root a mob rather than having to FD if a roamer or repop gets me at low HP.

I don't know how you could get by with just 2-3 bags on a raid.

[Phantasm]

i carry seven bags and at anytime I can find myself with 2-6 slots open for droppables

idk if I'm just stupid but I hold no value in having a tstaff also.

clickies/pots/consumables for days, enough javs to last you a full raid. your keys, gems, raid essentials and equipment... it all adds up.

Good grief -

"2 SoW pots AND JBoots

6 invis rings AND Larrikan's mask

2 MR Rings AND 2 Diamond Rings

10 stacks of bandages"

If THESE are the kind of things you feel that you need on your monk, then yeah you can't get away with 2 bags. But clearly you have lots of plat, so buy 4 Tink bags. that's 4 pounds, you're still only at 19 pounds.

and you'll have 100% slots for 40 items

[Daldaen]

Well outside of TStaff and Elder beads, everything on that list is pretty cheap and/or easy to camp and farm.

The SoW potions are double duration and 20% more speed. Very useful for raiding over JBoots.

Instant invis vs long casted invis has value. The Larrikan's mask gets used and recharged most because it's cheap. Rings are mainly used when invis is breaking early or mid pull to prevent aggros.

The resist rings may be excessive yea... And bandages are really just for when I'm soloing.

I plan on getting Tink bags eventually I'm just bad at justifying spending 20k on bags to reduce weight a bit. Maybe I will and see if I notice much of a difference soloing with better weight management though.

You will take a lot less damage when you aren't losing ac to being over the weight limit. It is very noticeable.

I am always surprised just how big the difference is being under the limit vs something minor like 2 or 3 over.

The difference is larger than the visible AC difference would indicate.

[Daldaen]

I should probably invest then!

[arsenalpow]

I'm very meticulous about my bag order, and I'm very meticulous about my inventory. I'm almost always at 22 stones or below unless I'm wielding some dumb weapon. You'll notice a lack of BD bracers and frog crown, I just never take off my benevolence bracers or rile. My resist gear is pretty spartan aside from my primary/secondary swap and/or vel diamond rings. It's pretty easy to get resists from velious gear.

7 bags (large soiled, two dragon bags, four tinks)

5 soulbound keys
Shurikan bracer
Food & water
Guise
AoN

5 PoM resist flowers
Elder beads
4 stacks of javelins

OT hammer
Jboots
Peg cloak
Shield of the immaculate
2 vel Diamond rings
Fungi
Bio orb
Rainbow shield
Bladestopper

10 dose swamp pot
10 dose frost pot
Lizard blood pot
Thurg pot
WC cap
Vial of swirling smoke
Fishbone earrinng
DA idol
Golem wand
Bracer of Hidden

Bo staff from VP
Dispell stick from VP
Tranquil staff
Tash stick
Mallet
Slowstone
Reaper
10 dose wort pot
Stack of rubies (mallets / port fees)
Stack of EEs (you never know)

5 invis rings
Larrikan's mask
Stalking probe (sometimes you need a fast eye)
3 root nets

Sow pot
Mr pot
IVU pot
Shrink pot
Potion of Poison warding (this is dope)
Other various pots
Maybe some misc raid loot
Maybe some extra javs

I've heard that it makes an enormous difference. Although I guess if you're just DPS in a group it doesn't matter. B/c of the inaccurate AC in client UI, it actually drops more than it shows when you overweight.

I always stay under.

Also - Shovel is 10 pounds, same as TStaff... I can't think of a reason that you'd be at 28, unless you're using gear that's not monk gear - or looting plat/gold or don't have 100% bags.

Meh, I don't tank (I hardly group and never solo with my monk). I'm either pulling (Shovel bagged for Bowl of Watery Protection+Shield of Rainbow Hues) or DPSing - the AC loss isn't a big deal.

I have full 7 100% WR bags. It's probably my boots (Barbed Dragonscale which weight 3 stone?) but again, Sta/HP > AC for raiding.

[Daldaen]

Chest basically has a dream monk inventory. Swap VP staff for Abashi, add Coldain Beard, add some more Wort Potions, add soulfire, add Chardok bandage summoner (eventually). Not much else you could really fill into your bags beyond that.

That is why you need 7 bags though.
