Ki

[ripperj]

how do monks generate ki?
i know sun gets ki every hit
but how do monks get it outv stance? and the other 3 stances?
and lets take meditating outv the picture

You generate Ki for each melee attack you do, concentration is used to see how much Ki you can 'store'. Basicly punch (using a non Ki attack) get Ki, and profit :)

[Garth_of_Sarlona]

Note that you only generate ki if you do more than 0 damage i.e. bypass the DR on the mob.

Fire stance gives extra +1 to ki per hit
Oremi's necklace (tower of despair, high end raid) gives extra +1 to ki per hit
Way of the Crane gives extra ki on criticals depending on how many levels you take.

Isn't there something that gives passive Ki generation too?

[Pintail]

Yes, at third or second level you get meditation 2x per rest to generate ki.

Monk Serenity has some passive Ki generation.

My Monk is only lvl 12 right now however I did not notice any passive KI Generation. You will be given a certain amount when you enter a dungeon (concentration total modifier). Other than that you gain ki from fighting and from meditating. Lvl 20 capstone is supposed to give you passive Ki Gen.

Non-Fire stance generate 1 ki/hit and 3ki/crit
Fire stances generate an extra 1ki/hit and some more to crits
path of crane give extra to ki/crit
and passive generation at lower levels is only avalable through the path of the badger, which generates ki when below 10-30%
