Ok, so i went to CoM and spent 7 hrs clearing the zone repeatedly, going up into the towers, catwalks, etc-no luck. I had heard they only drop from the "ghost" models in the zone,so i tried that for a bit, only killing the ghosts, and nothing. Made a ton of cash though, between the gem and defiant drops, so i bought the one that was on sale in the bazaar for 2k:)
I was slaughtering mobs in CoM last night, and a Master Wu's Trance Stick dropped off of a wraith (City of Mist). The wraith was up the little water area between the pyramid and the stables.
i found that an easy way to raise 1hb with a monk when it is low and you are lvl 28 is to equip two of these and go to hhk...when you get into a group just start killing everything in sight...as long as you keep hitting them you will lvl 1hb fairly quickly...you will miss early in the beginning of the ordeal but dont get discouraged it will change
i got my monks 1hb from around 16 to 140 in a matter of an hour or so...now i just need to get to 35 to get the procs to go off...keep getting the message "Your will is not sufficient enough to command this weapon"....i get about 3-4 of them in less than a minute in each battle...and a total of around 20 per battle...now if i could just get it to proc i would own almost all the things i go against

A wizard is unequalled in ability to "burn a mob down." Namely, if something bad's going down, and everyone's panicking, wizzy chain casts nukes and blows the $&#*er up. Nobody else can do it like we can.
In terms of prolonged damage (ie the amount of damage dealt over time for long fights, like xping in the Planes of Power) wizards, rangers, rogues, mages and monks will juggle the 1st place prize depending on AA skills, equipment, luck, buffs, etc, etc.
I'm not gonna be one of those people who says one class is "better" than another overall, because that's not true of any class.
Wizzies are unequalled in fast, hard, furious DPS. I've clocked some insane DPS in fights using a log parser and the level 61 Tears of Ro in conjunction with Draught of Ice (don't have Draught of Ro yet, DPS would be even crazier with that.) But, I burn mana fast if I do it that way.
Funny note... Tears of Ro can be "cheated" on the recast time. Have an insta-click item of some kind hotkeyed. Cast Tears of Ro. Click the insta-click item. Tears of Ro is refreshed ;)

Well I personally like the combo i am using on my 41 Iksar monk. He is using Wu's and FoR. Both are same dmg/delay (7/18) I like it because it keeps my h2h and 1hb maxed out and gives me time to practice my 2hb with my Wu's Quivering Staff (23/28). These are all enhanced with my FBSS.

Posted:Jun 06 2002 at 8:04 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) If anyone is selling one of these on Tholuxe Paells server pls post or send a tell in game, names are: Moglaji, Varkan, Clarityy
to Test this theory My friend and I Same lvl with almost identicle gear decided to duel each other KD/KD vs WU/WU...I must say He got me down to 10hp he still had half his health and our skilz are exaclty the same as well...nough said ehee.
In my opinion These Wu stix are just plain booty. I just lvl'd 35 and i have a dex of 154 geared up. In my first 5 fight with this thing it procd like 3times. Since then maybe once or twice every 3 fights if im lucky and to top it all off sometimes it procd for minimal dmg like 5's and 10's. IMO this thing just plain out stinks. I cant wait to get rid of it and get something better.
Any other quick and easy ways a 28 monk could raise their dexterity? spending about 1kpp at max though. Can i get a link on a few good monk dex items that arent too expensive? thanx
Well if you don't mind taking a faction hit(negative League of Antonican Bards, Knights of Truth, Guards of Qeynos; positive Mayong Mistmoore and Ring of Scale. Not that bad a faction hit though if you only do it once.), go kill Jasmine in the Port Authority in East Freeport; she drops seawind necklace, and that's 15 dexterity for free (also 10 cold and fire resist). Player made black pearl and star ruby jewelry shouldn't set you back too much either. Find a jeweler; 1k should be plenty for a couple pieces of good dex gear.
If you get more money to throw around, look at the acrylia studded or acrylia reinforced armor, several pieces add to dexterity.
I read all these posts, then log in, play in DL, CoM, TT, and all these other zones, and notice something. Most people who play monks have a serious problem. I say most because I play one, and never seem to have this problem I am about to discuss. The problem is that once you break the 40th level barrier you run into mobs that can double for 100+, and to a monk this is bad news. I have tried every single weapon combo feasible and have noticed that when I am DW anything, and I mean anything that mana consumption for healing my monk alone is very inefficient. Solution, 2hb, now why am I putting this on the Trance Stick post? Because I have used them, double, single with fist, with JM, with SoS, you name it. Here is why I suggest 2hb... It makes chain-pulling smoother, and what is everyone in the game after?...levels...regardless of your damage output it boils down to levels, and the way to level is get into an area with plentiful mobs and chain them until your cleric passes out. While dualwielding monks attract unwanted attention, and now you say "So FD!"...here is my answer to that, no don't attract that attention in the first place. Once I hit 42 my h2h and 1hb were above 200, well I decided to continue instead with focusing on 2hb. I noticed that I could now solo blues, because I was hitting alot harder, at 42, with buffs in group I was hitting doubles for 120+, sometimes I had to FD, but almost immediately aggro was reacquired by the tank and I jumped back up and dropped another 500 or so on the mob before I had to hit the dirt again. Why was the Exquisite Velium Brawl Stick made? For some roody-poo Warrior or maybe a cleric, no IT WAS MADE FOR A MONK. A test of this theory is to look at the 2hb weaps available to monks, then figure in the damage bonus, like I said with a stinking Baton of Faith I was doubling for 120+. Learn to play a monk CORRECTLY before posting some idiocy that you fantasized up. Trance is a great weapon, if and only if, you find yourself in one of 2 situations...1 You get one to drop and you are using your hands only, and 2 If you are playing anything other than a monk and get one to drop while in a cash deficit. And I will put my theory to the test on TP server anytime with a duel, you hit me 6 times for 7-30 with a lucky proc in there and I hit you 3 times for 300+, trust me you WILL run for zone, unless of course you like the solitude of a Corpse Run. Hehe, and this ain't even a flame, just the facts ma'am, just the facts.
I have not played in 7 months but I have a lvl 53 monk. I had 2 wu sticks on him since he was aprrox. lvl 40 ish. I have used KD and jade Mace and various other weapons. I dont break down all the ratio to this and ratio to that, and I am not saying anyone is wrong, what works best for you so be it. Bit I loved the wu sticks. For one the weight on em is good, 2nd, they are fast, and 3rd, if you have good dexeterity, which I did, and you soloed alot, which I did, I easily averaged 3 to 5 procs PER STICK in a fight. That adds up big time, it was almost like having another person fighting along side me. I did use fbss for awhile and eventually I moved up to SCH for my haste item, but I experimented many times, comparing other weapons such as the jade mace and KD to my Wu sticks. And simply I could kill mobs solo using the Wu's I could not kill using the Jades or KD's or what have you. Just my experience, hope it helps. If anyone wants to help greet an old timer back to the game, I will be reappearring next week on the Fennin Ro server. I quit after all of my gear mysteriously vanished and I could not get any help from Verant.
