One of 8 classes

The Monk

The Monk trains stillness. Class quests on pure awareness, compassion, doing things slowly and accepting what you resist.

The class

Who the Monk is

“You don't find peace by escaping the noise. You find it inside it.”

The Monk's last boss is the False Monk: the calm, perfect self you built, which has to go too.

Monk quests are the simplest on paper and the hardest to do well. Sit for a minute and rest on awareness itself. Look at someone and picture them as a child. Do a routine task at half speed. Notice what you resist, accept it, then take the first step. Later quests: No Multitasking, The Grip, Do Less, Better.

Players who complete all eight classes can join the Hall of Heroes.

Levels: 0 to 60, one comic panel per level
Bosses: 28, from Starving Thief to False Monk
Collection: 104 gear items from loot cases and 125 pets to hatch
Class book: Tao Te Ching (Laozi, James Legge translation), included in the app

Later quests

The daily class quests rotate

Each of the two daily Monk class quests rotates among about ten versions. A few more of them:

No Multitasking

Pick one task. Finish it completely before starting another.

The Grip

Name what you're holding too tightly. Loosen your grip on it.

Do Less, Better

Remove one task from your list so you can do the rest fully.

Bosses

Monk bosses

The Monk faces 28 bosses: a first boss, pools of early, mid and late bosses, and a final boss. You beat them with the XP from your quests. A few of them:

Starving Thief

The noise of the world, raw and desperate.

Wandering Drunkard

He drowns the silence in drink.

Song Courtesan

Beauty and distraction, wrapped in silk.

False Monk

The final barrier.

Questions people ask

What are Monk quests like?

The simplest on paper and the hardest to do well: rest on awareness for a minute, do a routine task at half speed, notice what you resist and accept it.

How long does the Monk class take?

Each class runs from level 0 to level 60. The whole eight-class program is planned at 8 to 14 months, so one class usually takes a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on how many quests you do.

Do I only get Monk quests?

No. Every class shares the core daily, weekly and monthly quests, like Physical Training, Deep Focus and Daily Reading. The Monk adds two class quests a day that rotate among about ten versions each, plus one weekly and one monthly class quest, and you can add your own from the optional quest library.
