Prayer Beads

Prayer Beads are the weapon of the Monk. Each set gives a minimum and a maximum attack, and a new model appears every 5 levels from the Bamboo Prayer Beads at level 10 up to the Beads of Concentration at level 100. The Willow Prayer Beads sit below them as the very first set.

After level 100 the steps change: new beads come at 105, 110 and 115, and from level 120 the official list has a separate item for every single level up to 140. The names change only a few times along the way: Arhat Prayer Beads, then the Beads of the Buddhas at 130, Arhat again, and finally the Lazurite Prayer Beads from 136 to 140.

A few representative beads, with attack shown as minimum–maximum for Normal and for Super quality:

Picture	Level	Beads	Attack (Normal)	Attack (Super)
	10	Bamboo Prayer Beads	12–18	16–26
	50	Jeweled Prayer Beads	78–116	109–162
	100	Beads of Concentration	441–660	616–925
	110	Beads of Consciousness	595–893	833–1250
	120	Arhat Prayer Beads	886–1280	1200–1752
	130	Beads of the Buddhas	1886–2280	2200–2752
	140	Lazurite Prayer Beads	2386–2780	2700–3252

• Up to level 100, a set of beads only asks for the character level.
• The Beads of Reflection (105) and the Beads of Consciousness (110) also need weapon proficiency 10.
• From the Sangha Prayer Beads (115) up to level 140, every model needs proficiency 11.
• The official table also lists a price for each model, from 362 for the Bamboo beads up to 100,000 for every set from level 115.

Like all gear, every model comes in five qualities: Normal, Refined, Unique, Elite and Super. Meteors raise an item's level and Dragon Balls raise its quality in the Forging window, and at high levels only Dragon Balls can raise the level.

Once your Monk has completed the second rebirth, the Monk Epic Quest can turn its weapon into an Epic weapon that unlocks extra skills.
