Enchants, Gems and Consumables for Windwalker Monk
This section specifically covers the optimal gems, enchants, food, and flasks to use for your character. To get a more detailed rundown of the different stats for Windwalker Monk, please visit our dedicated Stats page.
Profession Consumable Ranks
As part of Dragonflight's overhaul of Professions, many crafted items and consumables may have multiple ranks of quality that impact their effects. For consumables, there are potentially three ranks of an item that may be used, with Rank 3 items (shown as item level 415 in-game and with three gold stars) providing the most powerful bonuses. However, higher quality consumables will generally be more expensive and not always necessary depending on the content you are doing. You should be willing to use whatever rank of an item is most within your budget, and save higher-quality consumables for content where you will really need the extra boost!
If you would like to learn more about quality ranks on profession items, or the overhaul to professions as a whole, please see our overview below.
Best Gems for Windwalker Monks
Keep in mind that for stat gems and enchants, you should always follow your stat weights. However, these are likely to be the correct choice for you: Radiant Malygite or Radiant Alexstraszite.

Best Flasks and Potions for Windwalker
Phial of Tepid Versatility or Iced Phial of Corrupting Rage if you can handle the increased self-damage.
For all situations use Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power.
Best Food for Windwalker
You should eat the Agility Feasts Hoard of Draconic Delicacies. If you choose to eat your own food, then eat Fated Fortune Cookie.
Augment Runes for Windwalker
In addition, if you can afford it, you should use Draconic Augment Runes to increase your primary stat. Since there is a finite amount of the consumable runes available, you should make sure to use them wisely and to stock up on them for when you need them.
Through the new Emerald Dream Zone and its Dream Wardens Faction, you can also obtain the Dreambound Augment Rune, which is permanent!
Weapon Enhancement for Windwalker
For all situations, use Buzzing Rune.
Armor Kit for Windwalker
Due to the Stamina scaling of Touch of Death and Touch of Karma, Fierce Armor Kit does provide a small DPS boost when added to your Legs.
