I believe this to be a common misconception. Many consider inner peace to be a requisite for Monks. As Monks are primarily physical fighters, combined with the aforementioned information, it can be inferred that all it really takes to begin training in the Way of the Monk is an able body, a willing mind, and of course a soul for Chi. Many of the Masters at the Peak of Serenity are Non-Pandaren and the famous Tian Monastery is known to not turn anyone away from training. Pandaren Monks have been shown not to discriminate when it comes to teaching the Way of the Monk. Monks have seemingly been a staple in Pandaren society since the overthrow of Mogu rule, continuing with Song, who later founded the Lorewalkers. Both Kang and Lao-Fe died in the conflict. Eventually Kang himself led a final battle in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms where he fought the Emperor Lao-Fe man to man. Thanks to Kang’s influence the Pandaren rebels were rather successful against their Mogu overlords. From then on Xuen became a mentor to Kang. It was here that Kang came upon the prison of Xuen, the White Tiger Celestial, who had previously dueled Lei Shen in defence of the servant races’ freedom. When the Mogu learned of Kang’s movement he and his followers retreated to Kun-Lai and built a monastery to continue their training in secret. Eventually Kang demonstrated his prowess to his fellow slaves and inspired them to seek training. As slaves were prohibited from carrying weapons he concluded that he and his fellows would instead become weapons themselves. He determined that the Mogu were weak as, aside from their intimidating appearance, their empire was completely reliant on slave labor. After the loss of his son to the Serpent’s Spine Kang soon received an epiphany. The Way of the Monk began during the Mogu Empire with the Pandaren slave Kang, later known as the Fist of First Dawn. While Chi is a significant and iconic part of the Way of the Monk many examples seem to utilize it sparingly, if at all, or as a means of enhancing their physical prowess. These uses include buffs, healing, offensive projectiles, personal support and defense, and invoking the aid of the Celestials. Monks also utilize elemental magic, specifically the Spirit of Life, or Chi in the Mogu tongue, for a variety of purposes. They’re most notable for their skill in unarmed combat however they also train to utilize most if not all forms of close combat weaponry. Monks are mainly melee focused light armored fighters. So without further ado let’s get started. I aim to keep the following content mostly objective, however some of what I write here is going to be more speculative mainly due to lack of examples and significant lore development. Obviously I’m no real expert on the topic, merely someone passionate about the class. My hope is that this will help people see the prospect of rping a Monk as favorably as I do, or at least that they have a better understanding of what the class is about.
While this is all fine it has come to my attention that some may turn to these alternatives for what I’ll call, for lack of a better way to express it, the wrong reasons misconceptions, misinformation or lack of information. Very few people who roleplay with Monks however seem to be keen on roleplaying as an actual Monk, preferring instead something else. I also think rping one can be pretty great as well. I believe Monks are among one of the most unique classes playable in WoW.

If for whatever reason they, or any other part of the guide, aren’t agreeable to you feel free to ignore it at your discretion.) I imagine there are some points in it that some may find debatable. Not much has really changed but I think it’s presentable and I’ve grown tired of letting it rot. (I finished this thing late last year but held back on posting it as I wasn’t entirely happy with parts of it.
