Hullo there fellow Monks o3o I just became an apprentice, but I'm liking the class already. I only have a few questions. First off, I die too quickly; I have some 6k hp, I'm building up my AGI/crit right now. My AGI at 100, crit is somewhere. I use t garb, sion, Blancheur/Grace Hood, forest spirit/dodge charm. I was wondering: should I put the money into making a battle claw? Which is going to help me more, blancheur or grace hood? Both are slot. Also, I'm saving up for an ultimi, at like 2m x.x I think I'm upping my t garb to max anyways. I want volk shoes, eventually slot with Ganei I hope? My other xtals will be freedos in armor or add, bossheit in others? Maybe later upgrade to freedos. I've considered moving a few more damage xtals in, but I couldn't decide which and I'm so damm squishy. Any and all advice is welcome. Ps I may buy Stefly's to max AGI n put crit in the sky.

First off what are you fighting that's killing you? If its High Ents or something like that you shouldn't be fighting those. Monk isn't exactly all that tanky in general either except with insane gear.
Second, Sion Capell is one of the best claws out for Monks right now, Blancheur is great for the increase to HP and MP and worth using for a while, Thief Garb isn't really doing much for you, Schwartz will increase your damage by a lot but lower your HP but you shouldn't be fighting stuff thats gonna kill you with Schwartz on really, Ultimi is the best armor for Monks, Seahorse Bangle is fine with 1 INT since your MP recovery from Bless will only drop down to 30. Other than Seahorse try and get one of the MQ Special Equips for the slot(Dnewt is best).
Freedos and Bossheit are both awful. I don't recommend getting either of them. If you want HP use HP equips specifically for that purpose with HP 20s but don't but Freedos and Bossheit in DPS gear. Boss Colon is the cheapest ATK xtal for you to get and you can solo it too. It can go in all equips if you want. There are plenty of better xtals out there but they are expensive.
Build wise get 180+ CRT, Max AGI, then max CRT and decide what you wanna do from there.
It sounds like you are probably just not dodging stuff at all due to the low AGI. You are also probably fighting stuff you shouldn't thats going to kill you easily. This is what shouldn't kill you(at least not frequently) at your level: Boss Colon, ATG mobs, and Nagas. If any of those are killing you then you are indeed to squishy. If you can kill those 3 without an issue then you just need to level up.

If you can kill those 3 without an issue then you just need to level up. I can kill all of those fairly easily, by haven't true nagas. I currently am using sion cappell, using t garb one up and saving money for an ultimi (at 3m), I have the blancheur and volk shoes. I have a bossheit, all the others are crap xtals till I can afford better. I eventually want a Ganei in my spec, a ziddu in my blancheur, and I was going to put an hp/mp/ attack in my armor like freedos/bossheit o.o I thought of Plaz in my weap if nothing better. I didn't want boss colon for the sake of def loss. I'm getting AGI to 250, CRT to 200s, leaving vit at 75, and int at 140 for spells and chakra. x.x I might buy a Stefly's tho xD I goofed up. Heh.

As a Monk you have like no defense, so BC won't do anything to your defense lol. You won't notice yourself taking more damage. Pluzada in my opinion is overall not worth it. It's a TINY increase in damage over BC and there are better xtals for weapons so just save for those. Schwartz is now very cheap due to the new Raid and its honestlly worth getting while waiting for Ultimi.
Ziddu is for weapons only. Its kind of up to your judgement whether to get it or not. 4-5% ATK or 3% autoskill rate for Shell Break. Take a pick lol.
Ganei is the 2nd best xtal for Special Equip. Warrior of Light is a lot better though. Same attack but it gives you a chance to hit twice when you ATK(like Ninja's passive or Flabellum).
Freedos and Bossheit are still crappy xtals. Get a seperate equip for HP/Evasion and figure out what xtal gives you the most HP. That's really a last thing to worry about though.

I was thinking maybe a stormia, I heard that gave good Eva? So I could sub out all freedos/bossheit and put in a stormia wherever I need, or whatever is best for Eva. It's gunna cost tho xD Okay, so dumping all BH/Freedos. I could definitely put a boss colon on my add or something, put it somewhere xD ziddu didn't seem bad, I liked the sound of autoskill for both my sion and my shell break. It seemed to have the highest autoskill I could find. Warrior of light sounds wonderful *.* I'll go do a PC on it and keep it on the shopping list xD Plaz gives 8% att bonus on weap, and didn't have any negative, that's why I chose xD I can't take too many hits was my only worry about Schwartz, but i could def try it till ultimi o3o I think ima try selling moonlight bows or farming till I can afford an ultimi xD You know if there's negative effects on warrior of light? I haven't seen it around much.

I'm kind of thinking: Weapon: Ziddu Armor: Boss colon Add: Stormia Spec: Warrior of Light. All but stormia add attack if I not mistaken, but stormia's evasion is great.

All but stormia add attack if I not mistaken, but stormia's evasion is great. Weapon: Ziddu/Oritius/Pluzada/Suigetsu/Cerberus. Suigetsu and Cerberus are best. Boss Colon for something cheap til you get those Armor: Magonza/Minenaga:Minenaga is probably the better option. BC for cheap Additional: Vida/Imuseti. If you need Crit damage, go Imuseti, if ATK go Vida. BC for cheap Special Equip:Warrior of Light is best. Ganei is good. BC for cheap Pick 1 Crit Damage xtal and 3 ATK xtals. Get Doggy Ears up and put Stormia on it or just get an HP 20 and get a different equip to put an ATK xtal in it. Best DPS add equips are Glory Cape and Vanregal. Asura Stole is another decent one. Theres a lot of decent ones

Theres a lot of decent ones Weap: I like ziddu on my sion i think ima stick there xD Armor: I really considered minenega, comes out like 10% crit dmg, but I figured the Atk xtal (BC) would have some effect on crit too so I was going to leave it there till I found something better. Add: If I chose one of those two it'd be vida. But if I had stormia I would stay alive ;_; Spec: yup lol WoL. My Add right now is blancheur o.O what are stats on doggy ears? I'll need to check stats on all those xD

Doggy Ears UP is for evasion. Blancheur is for HP/MP.
In regards to staying alive: You don't have to wear full DPS gear at all times. Thats what HP and evasion gear is for. It's bad to mix DPS and survival on the same equip(DPS equip, HP/Eva xtal). Also keep in mind BC isn't a great xtal compared to others. It's just cheap and easy to get and is much better than no xtal and you will do okay with just those.
As for Crit Damage vs ATK, Crit damage will boost your damage more IF you already have enough ATK. That's why the most common recommendation is 3 ATK xtals and 1 Crit Damage xtal, so you have enough ATK to make Crit damage more effective. Weapon has the worst xtals for ATK overall and Cerberus lowers Crit Rate, Add has the best ATK xtal and a good Crit Damage xtal that also boosts MATK(more heals), Body has a great ATK xtal with Physical Power added in and a good Crit damage xtal, and special has the awesome Warrior of Light xtal and ganei if you can't afford that.

Ahhhh see I'm bad at having diff sets cause I never know when to use which and I'm always poor xD okay. So say ziddu on sion, minenega on ultimi+ stormia on t garb 2 up, doggy ears stormia, (don't know damage Addgear yet >~>) And maybe volk shoe WoL? I love volk as a spec, but WoL is only one I'm sure on xD

Vanregal looked good, I heard glory cape was only worth it if you were lv 200+. And I couldn't find stats on asura stole xD

As far as add gear goes, how do you feel about grace hood? It's Str+5, AGI+5, crit rate+10, def up by int, down by vit.
