I recently made a very cheap monk for my coworker. He had like under 10mil budget for it. I was going to spend like 50mil of my gold to gear him up, but wanted to take this opportunity to gear him up with smaller budget so I can just send this thread to the monks who ask me for help with 10-20mil budget.

I made this within like 1 hour I think and most of the stuff were sniped at 1d11h. If I had more time, I could have saved like 20-30% off the total cost and have gotten better stuff.

And it could have been better with LOH on his offhand, but I got him that since I know he’s gonna play a lot this week and upgrade his gears next week which will up his damage by good amount.

Most of his gears are easily upgradeable and I balanced out the stats as much as possible so he won’t have to change like 2-3 gears at the same time. Idiots monks always complain that they can’t change certain slot because he will lose so much of something. YEAH BECAUSE YOU GEARED IT WRONG.

I did get him the HF ring. I know it’s shitty but who cares, he just needs that extra exp mod on it.

Have fun!
Monks aren’t boring. It’s boring because you suck.
And just so you monks know, I’ve geared up like +30 monks for the past month budget ranging from 10mil – 1bil. Not bragging, just wanted to let you guys know that I’m not pew pewing BS.

Thanks for this, this should be super helpful as I fish around the AH for cheap upgrades.

Awesome write up Jin.
Jin also helped me geared up my Monk ... he is very knowledgeable and informative.
Great asset to the jsp community.
Keep up the good work !!!

nice JIN

I might just have to redo my monk to this. Your 10m infinite TR help was much appreciated, super easy runs and all.

gz for choosing the most expensive resist.

I think he means 695 all res with the OWE passive.
Not actual All Res gear.

Thanks guy.

Hope newbie monks will get some insights on gearing.

nice job jin.
he helps me with gear too

that's a nice OH for 300K
