Best Gems for Mistweaver Monk in The War Within
We highly recommend using QuestionablyEpic to sim your character's ideal gems and enchants, as they might differ from our general recommendations.
Raiding
The best stats for Raiding Mistweaver Monks are Haste and Crit, so that is what we will be gemming for.
You should use
Elusive Blasphemite in one socket. Then, you
should ensure you have one gem of each type in other sockets to max out the gem's effect, ideally
Quick Ruby/
Quick Onyx/
Quick Sapphire/
Deadly Emerald. Fill in remaining sockets with
Deadly Emerald.
Mythic+
The best stats for Mythic+ Mistweaver Monks are still likely Haste and Crit but can change depending on your goals. Haste will always be ideal to stack until you hit diminishing returns, but depending on your playstyle, you can opt to choose Crit, Mastery, or Vers as your second stat to stack.
You should use
Elusive Blasphemite in one socket. Then, you
should ensure you have one gem of each type in other sockets to max out the gem's effect, ideally
Quick Ruby/
Quick Onyx/
Quick Sapphire/
and your preferred Emerald of choice from the list below, depending on which secondary stat you want to focus, filling
your remaining sockets with that gem as well.
Each of the Emerald types are:
Deadly Emerald;
Masterful Emerald;
Versatile Emerald;
Quick Emerald.

Best Flask for Mistweaver Monk in The War Within
You should be drinking the
Flask of Tempered Swiftness at all times.
Best Weapon Oil for Mistweaver Monk
You should be using
Algari Mana Oil
Best Potion for Mistweaver Monk in The War Within
Use
Slumbering Soul Serum to regenerate Mana if you can afford the
downtime, otherwise
Algari Mana Potion is better.
Tempered Potion
is the best stat potion for personal gain, but you will likely want to use
Potion Bomb of Power
instead for more group damage. You can obtain many of these potions, such as
Fleeting Tempered Potion,
from Cauldrons that can be spawned by Alchemists
Finally,
Grotesque Vial can be used while dead and be the difference
between victory and defeat in an encounter.
You should keep a stock of
Invigorating Healing Potions to use when at
low health, and if you have a Warlock in the group, grab their
Healthstones and use them as well. Do not macro these together, they
are best used separately! You can also obtain
Fleeting Invigorating Healing Potion from Cauldrons that can be spawned by
Alchemists.
Best Food for Mistweaver Monk in The War Within
You should be eating from a Feast at all times, either
Feast of the Divine Day,
Feast of the Midnight Masquerade, or
Hearty Feast of the Midnight Masquerade.
If Feasts are not available, eat
Outsider's Provisions,
Beledar's Bounty,
Jester's Board, or
Empress' Farewell instead.
In addition, if you can afford it, you should use
Crystallized Augment Runes
to increase your primary stat. Augment Runes are expensive, and disappear on death,
so use them wisely!
You can also buy the permanent
Ethereal Augment Rune once at Renown 18
with the new Season 3 K'aresh Trust faction or use the
Soulgorged Augment Runes
that drop from the new raid and persist through death.
Useful Leveling Consumables for Midnight
There are a couple of consumable items that can significantly increase your speed while leveling. These are by no means compulsory. However, they can be a nice quality of life change.
Goblin Glider Kit is a leveler's best friend. It reduces your
falling speed while also granting a large forward velocity. Any time you are
able to jump from a high place, these will get you to your destination very
quickly.
Gunshoes are an Engineering item that increases your movement speed
by 200% for 25 seconds. The drawback, however, is that you cannot stop moving, so
you will either need to click off the buff or wait for it to time out. Any
time you need to cover a large distance, these are good to use.
