Well, after achieving level 33 (by the way, if you haven't
gotten to the 30's yet and are getting discouraged playing a monk,
stick with it... it WILL be worth it and you WILL have a blast
playing this class), and having spent nearly the entire time
searching for the various items to complete the quests, I have
finally managed to acquire the Purple headband and the Red sash.
By the way... don't even get me started on the 'too much
time, too little money, too much hassle for too little reward' thing.
You're right. I give in. But for me, it's a monk thing.
Anyway, I've just visited the monk's guild in Freeport to
find out how to get the purple sash and found that this quest is not
yet implemented. Unfortunately, I forgot to investigate the blue
headband quest when last I was in Qeynos. Does this quest exist yet?
Either way, is it known when any of these unimplemented quests might
be added to the game?
Also, a bit of a question here for ya: After having worn a
Blackened Iron Crown for the last few levels, I've decided to dump
it. The stat boosters are phenominal, but it was killing me in terms
of weight. I have a rather good collection of extremely low-weight
and weight-reducing items and was STILL bordering on 18lbs in 'going
out to party' configuration. Obviously, this was not acceptable. I
replaced the BIC with the aforementioned Purple Headband, which is
rather inferior, but moving from a 6Wt item to a 0Wt item has lifted
a great burden from my shoulders (literally). I figure it'll do
until I can get an executioner's hood.
My question is this: as far as headgear goes, am I missing
something? There only seems to be 2 more items that are worth
considering, those being the Crown of the Froglok Kings and the Crown
of King Tranix. Is there something else out there that would be
worth hunting after (besides the shiverback stuff, of course... but
that's WAY off)?
