New Player

[MikeyD]

Thanks for all the excellent input! You guys had some great advice. I went ahead and started leveling my new monk. My brother was in a car accident a couple days ago so I haven't been on much. I am on leveling now however. Anyone have any suggestions on where to get some good staves? I hear that the troll boss drops one, a treant elder that I haven't found drops one, and somewhere are something drops ivory nunchuks but I have no idea what it is and where it's at.

Sorry to hear about your brother, hope he's ok!


As for monk weapons, it depends entirely on what your level is, as all the gear in this game is designed for different level ranges (lvl 8+, lvl 15+, lvl 20+, lvl 25)

Monks use either staff weapons or "monk only" weapons, a good list is available on the wiki here:

Honestly Ivory Nunchukas would be difficult for you to obtain at level 15 on your own, and even if you got help from other players their drop rate is quite low.

I would recommend buying Bronze staves at lvl 15 and then buying Arcanite Katanas at lvl 20

If you're able to convince an Enchanter to give you some brilliant enchant scrolls they will make your equipment much more powerful.

You'll also want to buy a "bless scroll" from each of the 5 temples and apply them to all of your equipment

He's doing well. Thanks for the info!

Glad your brother is on the mend

And as Eld says, sometimes it is better to buy gear than rely on farming for something (unless you are levelling nearby or on the creature that drops the item anyway).
If you are having money issues use meditation (or food for non monks, drink for magic users) after a fight to save on potion use (keep potions for emergencies). It is slower, but... if you need money, it is the way to go.
If you take quests, the kill ones are best (since if they are around your level they will earn you experience), the item gathering ones can be frustrating at times.
