FAQ

Monk Leveling Questions

Quick answers for players searching for the best Monk hunts, gear progression and damage routes before level 100.

What are the best Monk hunts from level 8 to 100?

The safest path starts with Swamp Trolls, Rotworms or Larvas, then moves into Stonerefiners, Coryms, Mother of Scarabs, Lion's Rock, Carlin Cults, Nightmare Scions and Inner Hive depending on your goal.

Which damage types should Monk use while leveling?

For this path, Monk should use Physical, Earth and Energy routes. Pick the route that matches the hunt and avoid planning around elements Monk does not naturally use.

Should a low level Monk focus on XP or profit?

Before level 100, the best choice is usually a balance. Rush XP when the spawn is safe, but keep a profit option available so you can pay for weapons, rings, imbuements and supplies.
