Few points:
1. The scarlet Ninja-To is available as soon as you start the game from Joluv in the Copper Cornet, and is very much more damaging and much faster than a long sword of flame +1
2. A monk cannot advance past "proficient" anyway, that's pretty much why the scarlet weapon is the best choice for a monk in the early stages of the game because of the extra attack per round.
3. Crom Faeyr won't be available until chapter 6 no matter how quickly you get the other components.
4. Poisons Immunity happens at level 11 IIRC
5. In order to bash open chests and doors, use your PC to draw upon holy might and bash them open that way. The vast majority can be done through this method.
