The best advice I can give you is to have a group of really close friends
that you adventure with often. Offer to help them get the items they need,
and most of the time, they'll be happy to help you get what you need. I got
a few of my items in the pleasant surprise manner - helping out someone
managed to get me something I wasn't expecting - like the Black Silk Gloves.
At 21 you're doing fine - people will probably tell you to buy this or that,
but you have about the same that I had at 21. The great thing about monks
is they don't absolutely positively have to have a lot of gear, because in a
good group, they're hitting more than they're getting hit, but can take a
few hits if need be.
Just a personal Zen moment: If you make the game solely about the
acquisition of items, you're going to have two things happen: #1 - you'll
get *Real* bored camping the items or camping money for the items #2 -
you'll eventually top out, with no more cool gear to get and get bored.
That's my experience with it anyways. Not to say that getting stuff isn't
cool; it is fun to get that item you want or to get to the next level. I've
just seen too often people get item-jealousy and then the game gets
stressful (HURRY UP! THE 5 LEGGED CROC SPAWNS IN 12 SECONDS!) and no fun.
That's just my opinion, thought I'd make someone suffer it today. :)
