Gems for crit monk?

I’m a c2>p2>monk 2 at the moment, planning to take monk 3 soon. Plan to have around 100 con and the rest into dex by level 280. I’ve been following this guide here:

In the guide it recommends using yellow gems for crit damage since I’ll already have a high crit rate from all that dex. Only thing is, I’ve heard that in order to maintain a relatively high crit % at end game you need close to 500-600 crit rate.

In that case wouldn’t it be better to opt for green gems in order to achieve that considering crit damage can easily be obtained from magas sword + headgear? I’m not factoring monstrance into the equation btw since it’s a pain to maintain at all times.

Any thoughts on this guys? Oh and before anyone asks why I don’t just go full strength, its just a matter of preference. Love seeing those yellow lines pop out. :grin:

yes level up some green gems till lvl 6 or higher if you can stomach it

I use lv5 green gem -> + crit rate for both my main & sub weapons, every 1-2 crit rate that the gem gives I’ll put a point into strength instead => I think this is the most efficient way to use gem for Crit Monk

But if you really want to go 100 CON and the rest to DEX, you can use yellow gem (+ crit attck) since your dex will be high enough for crit rate, no need for more green gem :slight_smile:

But would I be able to hit 500-600 crit rate without the green gems though? Never gone beyond level 230 before so i’m not sure how much crit rate/ stat increases end game gear has.

Just from looking at what I have now i.e. roxona set, max peta, karacha, I’d think that at 280 I’d have maybe 350-400 crit rate without any gems? Could be wrong though, open to discussion.
