IiPunch - Monk Guide

I hope those upgrade items don't drop by area, and drop evenly (as well as randomly) from all bosses/MBs. Because it'll be a lot easier to farm Tojil for upgrades compared to bee or shark.

Interesting that REM H2H got 242 skill while Oatixur only has 228. Wonder if it's intentional.

Not sure it was, all other delve wep and now REM have 242 skill except oats, dont really think it was intentional.

raptor,mata,turtle and peiste dropped a single pluton each
eft dropped of pouch of boulder which gave 9 stone. This is not fair ; ;

the drops are bazaarable and not ahable. I predict that spamming adl for moneyz > bzaar spam is the way to go lol (like always).

how much did pouch give u?

herpderp

got a pouch of pluton and a pouch of beitetsu this time (4 and 8) out of 5 NMs. My guess is on a 50k per item within a few days, it's easy to farm.

That's because no other weapon's damage is directly enhanced by skill...? Derp?

Airlixirs were easy to farm and they stayed high price a lot longer though. I think 50k is a little too lowball at the moment.

The thing that was probably unintentional was the 242 on R/E/M, not the other way around

Yes, that's common knowledge. I was implying the 242 should be lowered to 228. I don't care either way, though. Don't plan on making a 99 REM for Monk.

You dont say duh >.>.... still no reason to give REM 242 and delve 228 compared to all other REMD. They could have just increased the REM h2h base dmg slightly And kept REM h2h at 228 or increased oat's h2h skill to 242 and lowered its base dmg slightly..

After 3 fracture runs killing 5NMs/run we got ~50 RME materials with 6, evenly split between the three type of mat. Needless to say, farming those seems quite long, but since you can exchange/sell those that you don't want it's ok. So in theory that's 18 fracture run with a small amount of players, for just one person to be upgraded. On the other hands it allows ppl to go farm for money so the supply will be there. It seems easy since many NM can be killed with a small amount of people with an easy way to pop them. So the market will soon be flooded, much more than say metal plates. That's why I say they are worth 50k.

on a side note one sack gave us 15 stones.

so am I reading this right in that the updated Temple (Anchorite) set looks like pretty much a waste of time and effort?

Anchorite cyclas is nice for chakra

Not unless there's any bonus to the activatables...

theres 12 more vit on it lol

I mean like feet/head dodge/focus effect.

So far I am pleased with Smite using Oatixur. Haven't seen anything break the 8.5k mark yet but still a huge boost over Spiral so far.

did 6k with no buffs and /BLM

Statistically speak what is better. Vere spamming VS or Spharai spamming VS or Shijin(which ever is stronger)?

The more accurate DPS math for MNK is as follows now:

DPS = [(H2H skill * 0.11 + 3 + DMG of weapon) * 60] / (280 + Delay of weapon) * 2 fists

Rigors: ((424 + 162) * 0.11 + 3 + 90) * 60 / (280 + 60) * 2 = 157.46 * 60 / 340 * 2 = 55.57
Ninzas +1: ((424 + 162) * 0.11 + 3 + 76 + 10 max augment) * 60 / (280 + 51) * 2 = 153.46 * 60 / 331 * 2 = 55.63
Maochinoli: ((424 + 177) * 0.11 + 3 + 110) * 60 / (280 + 96) * 2 = 179.11 * 60 / 376 * 2 = 57.16
Oatixur: ((424 + 228) * 0.11 + 3 + 126) * 60 / (280 + 96) * 2 = 200.72 * 60 / 376 * 2 = 64.06

R/E/Ms excluding Aftermath and hidden effect:

Glanzfaust: ((424 + 242) * 0.11 + 3 + 115) * 60 / (280 + 96) * 2 = 191.26 * 60 / 376 * 2 = 61.04
Vere: ((424 + 242) * 0.11 + 3 + 96) * 60 / (280 + 51) * 2 = 172.26 * 60 / 331 * 2 = 62.45
Spharai: ((424 + 242) * 0.11 + 3 + 116) * 60 / (280 + 86) * 2 = 192.26 * 60 / 366 * 2 = 63.04

Welcome back.

PDT sets are a must for new end-game, IE Delve, so make sure you have a good one. Its not hard to make with all the new gear tho.

As for TP/WS sets, I have single TP and WS set. Some people go all out, but to me that is a waste and I dont see how any 'good' monk can fit all the extras in their inventory. I sit at 76 items for my monk as it is.

I did 9950 on the HQ Khimeira in Salvage II(for a Double light of ~12ksh, SS > Exenterator > VS, Hundred Fist ftw), RCB, Impetus, Berserk, only buffs. Overall I found it consistent as SS.

I have seen a massive difference. Doing constant 7k+ on all delve NMs, and spikes above 10k there.

Any idea of a set for non-delve guys for VS?

Currently running
ItemSet 315066

Would go with Rajas ring over Pyro.

Would try to get the delve ACCY piece for ammo slot or Tantra tath is a good alt.

Body, well I would see if you can atleast get base mani. Same with feet.

Hands are great if you have DA or CH on them. Your options to make a good build are very limited without even NQ delve NM items.

Other then that, without delve, you got pretty much the best you can.
