In addition to the existing Wrist Hands enchants, Blacksmiths can apply Socket Bracer and Socket Gloves, and Engineers can apply Synapse Springs.

As a Brewmaster Monk, it is essential to reach the Expertise Rating cap (15%) and the Hit Rating cap (7.5%). You go for the socket bonus in your gem slos almost all of the time, prioritizing gems with secondary stats over gems with pure Agility, because secondary-stat gems give double the secondary stat, compared to primary stat gems giving only 1x the main stat. Reaching the socket bonus is almost always worth it. Which stats you should gem at your current gear, can be derived from the Brewmaster Monk Stats and Stat Priority Guide.

Sockets	Gems
	Indomitable Primal Diamond (from the legendary quest line) Agile Primal Diamond or Capacitive Primal Diamond (better) (more DPS at the cost of survivability) Effulgent Primal Diamond (heavy magic damage encounters)
	For Prismatic Gems slots, gem the stat that you currently need the most (see gems below)
	Precise Primordial Ruby/ Perfect Precise Pandarian Garnet or Precise Serpent's Eye (Jewelcrafting) Wicked Vermilion Onyx/ Crafty Vermilion Onyx
	Quick Sun's Radiance/ Smooth Sun's Radiance or Quick Serpent's Eye/ Smooth Serpent's Eye (Jewelcrafting) Fractured Sun's Radiance/ Perfect Fractured Sunstone or Fractured Serpent's Eye (Jewelcrafting)
	Accurate Imperial Amethyst / Perfect Accurate Roguestone Piercing Wild Jade / Perfect Piercing Alexandrite
	Engineering Gems: Rigid Tinker's Gear / Precise Tinker's Gear (Hit/Expertise) Fractured Tinker's Gear (Haste) Quick Tinker's Gear (Haste) Smooth Tinker's Gear (Crit) Stat priority may change depending on your priorities (see Brewmaster Monk Stats).

Consumables provide temporary, but impactful bonuses to a Brewmaster Monk's performance.

You should always be eating the food that provides the highest amount of Agility. In comparison to Agility, Stamina is not a very strong stat for Brewmasters, so your options are:

• 300 Agility: Sea Mist Rice Noodles, Seasoned Pomfruit Slices and Pandaren Treasure Noodle Soup
• 275 Agility: Deluxe Noodle Soup, Valley Stir Fry, Great Banquet of the Wok and Banquet of the Wok
• 250 Agility: Noodle Soup and Sauteed Carrots

For survivability you generally want Elixirs. The only exception here is Flask of the Earth, which is helpful in fights with a lot of magic damage. If survivability is no concern, and you want do deal more damage instead, use Flask of Spring Blossoms.

If you use elixirs, your best Battle Elixir options are Monk's Elixir (Mastery), Elixir of Weaponry (Expertise cap) and Mad Hozen Elixir (Crit), paired with the Guardian Elixir Mantid Elixir (Armor). The best combination of your for elixirs depends on your stat priority, which depends on the way you want to play your Brewmaster Monk.

The best potion choice depends on the fight and your role and playstyle. If you lean towards doing maximum damage, Virmen's Bite will be best. Should your role be soaking many hard melee hits, Potion of the Mountains for physical damages reduction through armor. If you expect a lot of magic damage, Master Healing Potion is the best potion you can use.
