The Monk Temple

[enil]

Hey guys, relatively new 50 Monk here. So far my ilvl is sitting around 58 and I've got my relic. I've been running Brayflox hard over and over trying to get the gear there, but half the time we just get crafting items. Is it better to use the Myth tomes for gear, or should I save those to upgrade my relic, and just hope for drops?

Depends.
Can you do Levi EX for the weapon?
Can you do XM Primals for the weapon?

If you can don't bother spending Myth for weapon since both of these are considerably better. Otherwise the weapon is probably the single biggest upgrade to your DPS you can get for the cost of Myth, you'll eventually want to get it sooner or later anyway so you can progress with the Relic questline.
