Going onto gold, you’re going to need alot of this for riding training, new glyphs,
etc. To ensure smooth sailing, keep about 20k stored away for a rainy day. If you
have your eyes on things like raid BoEs, 20k might not be enough though. Then get
bags. The Netherweave Bags gives you 16 slots at 15 gold each while the Frostweave
Bags gives you 20 slots for 120 gold. The more expensives ones are the Embersilk Bags
which comes with 22 slots at 300 gold and the 26-slot Illusionary Bags at 3,000 gold,
give or take.
Here’s a quick start-up guide to save you time going through trial and errors to
kick start your Monk. For more detailed suggestions, go for this Unofficial World of
Warcraft Monk Handbook. Well, here goes:
For starters, make sure to get some heirloom items for the extra XP bonuses and
damage output. This will definitely get your up and running super quick. Between
agility leather and intellect leather, for fast leveling go for agility leather.
Keeping in mind that you’ll have 6 slots, make use of a 4 armor to 2 weapon
combination. There are also infact heirloom trinkets and ring but I wouldn’t
recommend them much until later in the game. This more or less already covers half of
your gear slots. Keep the other half empty for quest rewards and drops.

Then come consumables. If you choose to play a Pandaren, you’re obviously going to
need to stock up on Food, especially buff food to maximize racials. Recommend
Skewered Eel and Severed Sagefish Head. If you want to play as a Mistweaver, also
make use of Flasks of Distilled Wisdom. As for potions, you can never get enough of
to start out strong. Stack up on Swiftness potions as well as healing potions to
avoid wasted time visiting the underworld.
