Monk Leveling Guide (24 replies to this topic)

Excellent guide, thank you.  This is something that should be added to all leveling guides.  You can now update the JP BOA gear to cap out at 85 from the original 80.  This costs the original item plus the same amount of JP points the original cost.

20% of damage done, am I right? Would be pretty unkillable otherwise.

Heirloom vendors provide the following items of interest to Windwalker Monk (you should remove them as soon as you reach level 80):

• Venerable Mass of McGowan (should be enchanted with Enchant Weapon - Agility);
  
• Stained Shadowcraft Spaulders;
  
• Stained Shadowcraft Tunic;
  
• Swift Hand of Justice.

Is it not the case that these items can be extended to use up to level 85 when using additional Justice Points with the original item to give you a new item that will be usable up to 85? I spent JPs at the vendor in SW with each item and it gave me a new identical item that is usable to 85. Also as far as the bonus buff 'Enlightenment' that you get as a quest each ten levels, do you recommend 'saving' them up to a certain point at which the stacked bonus XP can be more useful as far as XP gain? I am currently level 80 and have not used them, but am now looking for a prime point per say to use them. I know this is a 'general guide.' That being the case, are you purposely omitting situations currently being used like 'monkey runs' and the 300% xp potion that drops from Krol the Blade? I am asking primarily because I am wanting to know if you consider those not 'optimal' uses of time, or is it just because this is to be taken as a general guide.

On a side note, I have been in the Warcraft game and community since BC. I write as a contributor for two World of Warcraft news web sites. I say that to point out that I have been visiting icy-veins for quite a considerable length of time, and to highlight the undeniable fact that you guys here have very much 'upped' your sites validity as a premium community resource site. The time and effort you guys have put in to reach your current relevancy is indisputable and you should be highly commended by all that rely on these sites to play at the highest level. I for one now have you on my bookmarks bar for 'emergency' access lol. Thank you very much!

• Being at maximum capcaity causes any additional Energy you would generate to be wasted.

Change "capcaity" to "capacity"



Overall this is a great looking guide which certainly answers a lot of my Monk leveling questions.

No Ascension at 45??
