First:
How much do hand wraps cost (for a monk)?
Second:
Can I put a +1 enchantment on them, and if so do have to pay the price for each hand?
Third:
Which book is the power storing weapon enchantment located in?
Fourth:
How do the Quori shards work? Do I need to buy 4 (one for each limb) in order to deal the extra size damage with flurry, or can I buy one for it to work?
Fifth:
Would my total damage (I am considered a level 20 monk in terms of damage) with the Quori shards and a fanged ring be 6d8, or higher/lower?

Sorry for all the questions, I am still learning the game. And thanks beforehand for the help.

First:
How much do hand wraps cost (for a monk)?

In 3.5? I don't think they're a thing. In PF, the closest I can think of is the Body Wrap of Mighty Strikes (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/a-b/body-wrap-of-mighty-strikes).

It's a few strips of cloth wrapped around the hands. Drop a few copper in the market and grab some fabric scraps.


Second:
Can I put a +1 enchantment on them, and if so do have to pay the price for each hand?

No. You can't just enchant random stuff.

In 3.5, what you want is an Amulet of Mighty Fists (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#amuletofMightyFists) or a Necklace of Natural Weapons, probably the latter. The AoMF can receive a numeric +X bonus that applies to all natural weapons, including unarmed strikes. The NoNW can receive a numeric bonus enhancement as well, but can also receive special abilities like Flaming, Throwing, etc.

In PF, the Body Wrap mentioned above is one option, as is PF's Amulet of Mighty Fists (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/a-b/amulet-of-mighty-fists).


Third:
Which book is the power storing weapon enchantment located in?

Quickest reference would be here (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/items/weapons.htm#powerStoring), which I believe covers XPH.


Fourth:
How do the Quori shards work? Do I need to buy 4 (one for each limb) in order to deal the extra size damage with flurry, or can I buy one for it to work?

One shard of Ectoplasmic Fist increases your die size. That applies to all unarmed strikes. I don't believe they stack.


Fifth:
Would my total damage (I am considered a level 20 monk in terms of damage) with the Quori shards and a fanged ring be 6d8, or higher/lower?

Insufficient information. Are you asking whether a Monk 20, with a Quori Shard of Ectoplasmic Fist, and a Fanged Ring, deals 6d8? Or are there other variables?

No other variables. And thanks Fel.

Okay. Let's start with Monk 20, which grants you 2d10 unarmed damage. Fanged Ring grants you IUS (which is redundant) and INA (unarmed strikes), which increases your die by one size; the Quori Shard of Ectoplasmic Fist also increases your die.

In the Rules Compendium, there is an expanded damage dice table. It specifies that if you have a Medium weapon that deals 2d10 damage, and increase it by two size categories, it deals 6d8. Your calculation was correct, it seems.

What if you add Superior Unarmed Strike?

We're already using Monk 20, and there's no epic unarmed damage progression, so it doesn't help.
