Returning after 15 years

[Stormcrow505]

I originally played between 1999 and 2004, and almost exclusively on my Iksar Monk. After playing PR1999 for about a week now I am really loving being back.

Unfortunately, I'm having some difficulty with find appropriate weapons as I level. My DPS is suffering and making it slow going.

Currently I'm using two Staves (5/28, 6.5wt) I bought from the vendor in the Court of Pain, but at lvl13, they aren't cutting it.

I'm looking for recommendations on weapons I can find or farm for that are lvl appropriate. I’ve farming a bit to get some plat (bone chips and Spider Silk/Silk Swatches, for sale is anyone is interested), but not sure how much I’ll need if it turns out I need to buy weapons.

Any advice would be appreciated.
