I don't understand why people always like to ask what to buy for there level etc? Just go into bazaar with your money and search for each slot. Examine the price/stats/etc of various items and decide what seems best for the price. As a monk it will take more then just gear to quickly get to 50 the way the game is going right now. I imagine unless you get ahold of a fungi tunic (usually 40k or more) you won't be doing much soloing. Anymore trying to find a group from lvl 25 to about 50+ is very hard. I have a 42 SK and a 30 necro just sitting around because I can never find a group for either of them. I log on and do a LFG check and see myself and maybe 1 or 2 other people every time. About the only slack we get now is monster mission (thank you soe for those) I wouldn't have my alts as high as they are if it wasn't for monster missions.
