This farming guide will hopefully help people understand how and where to farm, and many other problems of what skills to use, and in what order. I will also try and make this farming guide easy so new farmers can learn quickly.

Weapon Sets
The 55 Monk usually uses -50hp Grim Cest [knife] and Totem Axe because of the massively useful health drop and 20%'s; some people also use Kepkhet's Refuge as it's Energy and 20%'s are quite decent enough to be substituted from the axe and cesta.

Healing
Healing Breeze - Primarily used as it has a long-lasting +7 health regen, it is very affective with Mystic Regeneration or Mending.

Mending - Most people that use it are new to farming because the much-needed energy regen can be spent on more important skills. Mending is commonly preferred by beginner farmers than professionals.

Mystic Regeneration - This is not a monk skill; It is widely used in the 55 monk if they chose to be Dervish secondary or primary as it's very well used with HB.

Protection
Protective Spirit - Always used in the 55 monk to reduce damage to 10% of your CURRENT health, it is a MUST if you attempt the 55 monk build.

Protective Bond - Can be usefully substituted IF your energy intake and amount is high enough for PB to not be cancelled.

Damage
Shield of Judgment - Most common 55 monk damage skill, although there are others to substitute or stack with this.

Sliver Armour - This is not a monk skill; Sliver Armour is used a fair amount throughout farming builds but is not near as popular as Shield of Judgment as it only focuses on 1 target until they die, then it moves on to another victim.

Spiteful Spirit - This is not a monk skill; This skill I have personally never used as I didn't pick Necromancer so I have nothing to say about it.

Stone Daggers - This is not a monk skill; Stone Daggers can be quite a life saver if you do a successful farm but have 1 or 2 monsters left as you can spam it hence the no recharge time and the 5 energy cost.

Degeneration

 * Health: To get back health, you can either use Mystic Regeneration or Healing Breeze. Watch out for Mesmer and Necromancer foes though as they can quickly cast multiple degen skills which are deadly for a 55 monk.


 * Energy: Whilst farming you must have alot of energy to cast your spells which maintain your life; failing to cast in time can cost you so to overcome energy lack there is a few things you can use:
 * Radiant Insignia - On every piece of armour.
 * Blessed Signet - Useful for the 55 monk because of all the enchants they cast on themselves.
