Knight Online is an MMORPG developed by MGame Corporation and Noah System. Currently there are many different companies that host this game by geographic region. Some are Free to Play while others are Pay to Play. Two major updates have been released for the Knight Online. In September 2005, a major update known as Knight Empire was released that changed a few maps, added new item upgrading systems, and introduced the King system into the game. On or about August 3, 2006 a new expansion called The Reign of the Fire Drake was released. The update added several new maps, quests, monsters, and bosses; changed the user interface, introduced the Post-Office system and Chaotic Generator, and increased the maximum level cap to 80. Some months later, a new expansion for the game was released: "Moradon: The Resurrection". This expansion added a couple of new things to the starter city, Moradon (See the index for more information). The city was totally modified and the hunting area for killing monsters was modified, too.

Generally, the older worlds are the most heavily populated and therefore impossible to enter for Free2Play players (see Criticism). Players are allowed to have up to three characters on each server, but all of the players on the server must be from the same race. To have one character that is human and one character that is orc, a user would have to make one of them on a different server. Each world is further divided into three sub-servers (ex. Ares1, Ares2, Ares3). Players can use a character from a certain world on any of that world's servers, however it is not possible to transfer characters/items/money between worlds. The Postal System allows for intraworld communication, but letters cannot be delivered from one world to another (ex. Diez to Edana). Some zones/events including War, Delos, the Abyss, and Ardream can only be accessed from server one in each world, which typically has the most users logged in at any given time.

Knight Online has 4 classes for both nations; warrior, rogue, magician and priest. Each class has basic skills and an additional 78 different skill-trees to which skill points can be added. 1 skill point is obtained at each level once the second job has been selected at level 10, and the amount of skill points in a skill tree cannot exceed the level of the character. It is recommended that you only choose two of them so that you can obtain its best skills. Each class also has a master set of skills that can be learned from various quests after level 60.

Class Description Skills Trees Master set Player Skill
Warrior Melee fighter, High amount of health, Good defense (Main tanker in game) Attack,Defense,Berserker Berserker Hero(ktmaran), piçakçi (hakkari) bıçakçı players need to learn how N/A. They can't hit with skills without kena. Also need to learn how to hit fast to hold monster's attensityon sibuple.
Assassin (massive damage in the first few hits, good at combo and sliding,fastest class in game) or Rogue (moderate ranged damage, some skills have blinding effects) zokçuluk, piçakçilik, kolombusluk Archer,Assassin,Explore sopadan ok atanlar player will need to have "quick foots" to take advantage of all the given skills (to combo). Rogue players often need to flip between 2 or 3 pages of skills. While they are attacking, they also benefit from minor heal skill that instantly convert mana to health for single target.
Mage Ranged magic attacker, low defense. Flame, Glacier, Lightning Elemental Lord (Karus), Arch Mage (El Morad) Casting large Area of Effect(AOE) spells can be tricky to control at first. "Summon" is perhaps the most useful mage skill that can teleport(TP) a party member to the mage location, either teleporting party member out of danger or quickly advancing to the battle front. Sometimes, the mage player's skill is judged solely by how well he or she TPs party members.
Priest Can either aid others in battle (Buffer, Healer, or Debuffer) or become a Battle Priest (Massive damage, low defense) Healing, Aura, Holy Spirit Shadow Knight (Karus), Paladin (El Morad) Requires some skill from each of the above classes; watch mana, multiple skill pages, and casting AOE. Priests can also resurrect dead players. When in a group, keep the party buffed. Healing spell is not as fast as we expect, thus priest players need to predict who is going to get hit and heal that person. Priest can use two handed swords; thus, can play a role as a warrior.

Paper: the paper build is usually a build that focuses on improving attack instead of defense and armor, a player with a paper build would generally raise defense enough to wear regular armor, then improve attack to deal damage instead of focusing on defense. This is only common in Mages and Priests. Mages generally get enough intellect to use "paper armor", and put the remaining points into magic power. Priests do the same, but instead of magic power, strength.

Plate: Only common with rogues in adream. The extra dexterity gives all types of rogues the upper hand, and this is the paper substitute for rogues for paper.

Full Plate: Common in Adream for rogues and warriors, especally for warriors if they want to use a weapon requiring a large amount of strength. Rogues only use this build when they want the most dext possable, because of the large difference of defence between fullplate and chitin, it is arguably not worth it.

Chitin: Arguably the best build for int-hp and int-strength priests because of the small difference between defence of chitin and chitin shell. Also a better build for rogues at a lower level, mages, and warriors.

Chitin Shell: Most common for warriors and rogues because of the low health requirement. It is arguably not worth it for mages and priests because of the large difference in stat requirements for not very much armor, when the stats could be used elsewhere for health etc.

A player can use a variety of weapons, not all weapons are for set classes. Any character can use almost any weapon, as long as they have the required stats (Str, Dex, Int, or MP). Using weapons that don't require class stats or skills is almost useless, as they do not confer any bonuses. The only exceptions for the most part are bows, which are only available to rogues, and staves for mages.

  • Warriors are the most versatile, as they can use str based weapons (swords, shields, polearms, axes, clubs)
  • Rogues use dex based weapons (daggers and bows)
  • Mages use mp/int based weapons (staves)
  • Priests use int/str based weapons ( clubs, and at lvl 60, and after their master quest, can also use swords)

Weapons in the game include, but are not restricted to:

  • One-Handed Swords
  • Two-Handed Swords
  • One-Handed Axes
  • Two-Handed Axes
  • One-Handed Spears
  • Two-Handed Spears
  • One-Handed Maces
  • Two-Handed Maces
  • Priest Maces
  • Long Bows
  • Short Bows
  • Cross Bows
  • Iron Bows
  • Chitin Bows
  • Totamic Bows
  • Daggers
  • Staffs

The game also includes several unique weapons, which drop only from bosses. Unique weapons are highly sought after, as they offer bonuses to other stats, like str, hp, mp, dex, and resistance to magic. For a full list of unique items go to http://www.kodb.info/

Unique Weapon list (most common):

  • 2 Handed Giga(antic) Axe
  • Javana Axe
  • Dark Vane (dagger)
  • Chitin Bow
  • Hellbreaker (club)
  • Wreath Of Erenion (staff)
  • Smite Hammer (club/mace)
  • Rons Staff (Staff)
  • Hell Blood (Staff)
  • Avedon
  • Lycoan Hammer
  • Lycoan Staff
  • Lobo Hammer
  • Erenion Bow


At level 70, there is a quest avaliable in eslant to get your own personal weapon, or even a shield depending on your class. In the name of the weapon, your name will be included, for example "Mace of Player", your name being in place of Player.

In Knight Online, armor is class-specific, meaning only rogues can use rogue armor, only priests can use priest armor, etc. Armor comes in various types all of which can be found in "drops" from monsters, except for Craft Items, which are obtained from Quests. Armor ranges from the Class named level (i.e. Priest Helmet, Priest Boots) to Chitin Shell, the highest class armor. The only exception to this rule is the Magician Class, who have Crimson, substituted for Chitin, and Complete substituted for Chitin Shell.

The Armor Types are as follows, least to greatest: Class Named, Leather, Half Plate, Plate, Full Plate, Chitin, and Chitin Shell. There are more, but these are the basics.

The Knight Online weapons system also offers a series of unique weapons. These are weapons such as Hell Breaker, Lightning Enrion, Dark Vane and so on. These weapons will glow as soon as they are opened by a weapon enchant scroll.

A clan is a club of users (generally friends) that group together; most players prefer to have friends as clan members, but the larger and more powerful clans will only admit strong characters. The benefits of being in a clan include: a separate chat channel for clan members whose text appears in green on the main chat window, the ability to party with your clan members no matter what levels they are, the ability to party a clanmate without being close enough to manually select them, and finally the ability to get capes. Capes cost a large amount of money and require 144,000 Nation Points (referred to as "NP") per clan, which are gained by killing users of the opposite nationality (+50 NP). Some large bosses also reward you with a few nation points if you manage to find and defeat them (+10-50 NP).

Nation Points can also be lost if a member of the opposing nation manages to kill you (-50 NP). When an individual player's Nation Points come to 0 they have to earn all the points again. Players also lose Experience Points when they die whether they are in a clan or not(and yes if you lose enough you can actually lose levels. A clan's Nation Points are made up of the total Nation Points of each of its members. This determines your clan ranking (V being the lowest and I being the best). At higher ranks, more events become available to you and your clan.

Ranking National Points Required Bonus
V (Lowest) 0 - 71,999 None (grade 5, Humans have blue armband, orcs have purple)
IV 72,000 - 143,999 Ability to participate in Castle Siege War (grade 4 , humans have green armband, orcs have blue)
III 144,000 - 359,999 Ability to attempt the Knights quest to obtain a cape (grade 3, Humans have dull bronze armband ( with more intricate detail), Orcs have a gray one with a different design)
II 360,000 - 719,999 Ability to have Knight Symbol on cape (grade 2, Dull Golden armband)
I (best) 720,000+ All of the above. (grade 1, Burnished Gold armband, slight red tint)
5 Best Clans 5 clans with highest total NP Top 5 Clans in any particular server have Grade I clan armbands (in new servers top 5 clans may be under grade 1), with the added detail of flames running along the design, along with a flame.
  • Note: Because of the new expansion Moradon The Resurrection there are 3 clan types ranging from lowest to highest: Clan, Knights, Royal Knights. (each type has additional benefits ex: Longer capes)

A reverse scroll can be purchased from Charon in Moradon. Items that can be revived (used by reverse system) are as follows:

  • High class items that are enchanted by +7 or above.
  • A few unique (high rank) items that are over +7.
  • Set items that are enchanted by +7 or more.
  • Accessory items cannot be used in the reverse system.

Strengthening steps for regular items to becoming reverse items are as follows:

  • Existing +7 item -> reverse +1 item
  • Existing +8 item -> reverse +5 item
  • Existing +9 item -> reverse +11 item
  • Existing +10 item -> reverse +21 item
  • Upgradeable, Unique, and Set items follow the same rules.

Items are applied by reverse-upgrade probability formula, and their original stats do not change. Regular items that are +7 to +8 and Reverse item that are +1 to +5 have mathematically very similar probabilities of success.

  • Reverse items can be upgraded up to +30. (A +30 reverse item is stronger than a +10 existing item.)
  • The items that are revived (used by reverse system) cannot be restored to original items.
  • +1 step to +21 has the same probabilities of succession in upgrading.

When the item is changed to reverse item, the original item's step is broke into parts so the general probabilities of a successful upgrade will not increase. By reversing an item, the item is now able to be upgraded to a +30. The original +1 to +10 scales has now been expanded to a +1 to +30 scales. When the item is reversed, the probability of success to go from one level to another in its original state, is divided proportionally.

Reversed items do not increase the level of items, but breaks it into parts, giving each part a higher probability of success for upgrading. Also, it has other advantage such as giving a wider variety of items and diversifying the market. (Also rebirth armour/weapons will glow similar to +8 normal weapons/armours)

Knight Online allows groups of players to form "parties" and work together to complete objectives. A party is a group of at least two but no more than eight players. Parties allow players to level-up faster than normal because monsters give more experience points when killed by a party and also have a much higher rate of dropping better items (people who party with members lvl 60+ will not enjoy this benefit however, because they have been givin the exp cut at that lvl.). A party can consist of characters from either nation(only in moradon). The party leader can only invite players within 15 levels of his/her level, thus preventing extremely high or low level characters from unbalancing a party. However, parties involving clan members are not subject to the 15 level difference limit and can contain players of any level (from that clan). Good parties will usually consist of a high level buffer/healer to restore health and a rogue with the skill swift to keep everyone moving quickly. Such parties can consist either of a large number of rogues and warriors to take down strong opponents one by one, or mages to take down enemies in groups.

There are many bosses in the game that drop unique items and items needed for Master Skills. The highest of these monsters being the Felankor(Added when the expansion "Reighn of Fire Drake" came out). This boss can be found in the dragon cave which can be accessed by getting dragon pearls from the Servants of Isiloon. They spawn in every zone, excluding delos, and special events like wars etc. All bosses drop unique items, different for every boss, and all have a chance to drop high class items (other than maybe kekurikekukaka).

There are a few maps in which players of Knight Online may find themselves in, each with their own pros and cons. Players travel between them using a set of Warp gates (for a price).

Home of the Arena, Forgotten Temple (temporarily disabled) , and a new war system called Border Defence Wars, this is the only zone where both El Morad and Karus cannot attack each(unless in an arena) other and for this reason is the main merchant hub in the game. It is also where all new players start out and offers many low level quests. The wasteland surrounding Moradon is filled with low level creatures ideal for new players.

  • Map of Moradon(this map may be different from the current version of moradon because of the expansion Moradon: The Resurection)

The largest zones of the game, each nation holds many creatures which make good hunting for mid to high level characters. Only members of the appropriate nation can enter their land so the majority of the gameplay in Karus/El Morad focuses on the player versus the environment. However, after a war, the victorious nation is able to invade the opposing nation for one hour and members of both nations can encounter each other on these maps and be rewarded Nation Points for killing opposing players.

A zone that can only be entered by higher level characters (lvl 60+) this zone holds host to high level monsters and bosses. There is no PvP in this zone as 2 Eslants exist (one for El morad and one for Karus) so that the members of each can focus more on the dangerous monsters within. Eslant is also, and can be used, as a money making ground. The strong monsters there often drop scroll's which can be sold for a max of 600k. (K= 1,000 coins)

Ronark land is almost identical to the old Colony Zone, but the new expansion has added many new monsters, and implemented the Bifrost feature. In this zone, bosses only spawn in the bowl, which is located in the center of the map. Ronark land, also has a few new quests in which the players can earn large amounts of experience points if completed. It is mainly a player vs player zone.

Ardream is a lower level version of Ronark Land, available for anybody between level 30-59.

Unlike Ronark land, bosses in Ardream can spawn everywhere. This zone has different monsters than Ronark because of the level of its players.(Few exceptions ex: Dark Mares witch can be also found in eslant)

There are a variety of bosses that provide special items that can be sold or used throughout the game. Some of these bosses include Atross and Riote.

In areas such as Ardream and Ronark a player can lose half of the money he/she is carrying after being killed by another player. ( Note: Since the new Moradon expansion, players killed by a player of the opposing nation no longer lose coins, just 25 National Points.)

The landmass that connects the two nations. During the Lunar Gate wars members of each nation gather here for battle, after which the winning nation can "invade" the losing nation's homeland.

The only dungeon in the game (because of the moradon: the Resurrection there is a second dungeon available to anyone lvl 70+). It is located in Delos, at the heart of the castle. It is made up of 20 levels going down, each level being a large circular chamber inhabited by progressively worse monsters. Many times you can't move on to the next floor of the abyss until you find a key by killing the monsters within the floor you are on. Within the abyss is a "secret" gate into the hell abyss with even stronger monsters. Likewise, you'll need the key to the hell abyss to find this entrance.

The Abyss is a PvP area where humans and orcs can kill each other. Unlike the Colony Zone, Invasions, or Wars you do not lose or gain money or NP for killing another player. For this reason there is an uneasy truce between orcs and humans, which sometimes break out into hostilities without warning out of spite (usually from taking each others kills). In the Abyss, all the monsters (except the Goblins) drop an item called the Abyss gem, these gems can be traded to a NPC in Moradon for the chance of a rare item, making their prices reasonably high. This isn't all that attracts players to brave the dangers of the Abyss. Many players go to the abyss for +9 accessories, transformation scrolls, Abyss health potions, and other more expensive items dropped by the monsters there.

With the Reign of the Fire Drake patch, a final floor with one of the newest bosses, Felankor, was added. Felankor is the dragon you often see on the Knight Online homepage. He is one of the hardest monsters to kill and drops a Ring Of Felankor and other unique items.

Scheduled events happen on a regular basis for each server. These are one of the main focal points of Knight Online.

Open for characters of both nations who are Level 60 or above (temple 1) or Level 46-59 (temple 2), this event pits the first 32 to enter the event (from a gate at Moradon) against waves of high level monsters. Those who remain standing at the end receive a treasure chest they can then trade in for powerful unique items. You do not lose XP if you die within this event. Players can form parties with members of opposing nations during Lost Temple Events. (Currently Disabled updated October 30, 2007)

The US branch of the game disabled it due to a bug which lets users win the event without killing a monster.

This bug was fixed* (See above) on February 14, 2007 along with the valentine event.[1]

Another focal point of the game. Players can choose to participate in the event by entering the lunar valley during war time. The first 200 (in Lunar war) or 120 (in Dark Lunar) players from each side will decide the fate of the battle in the Lunar Valley where they must try to slay the Keeper of the opposing team. Among all the players in the war, 5 of the clan leader which have most National Points count in their clan will transform into commander which ride a horse and get additional benefits.

The winning side may then invade the opposing nation, regardless of participation in the war. Each invasion lasts 1 hour, after which the invaders are recalled back to their homeland. During this hour, the victorious nation invaders try to drive their way as deep as possible into enemy territory, with the aim of killing players from the opposite nation to gain National Points. Each of the commanders will received 300 National Points when they won the war. The defeated nation attempts to repel the invaders.

The only clan versus clan event. It occurs within the Delos zone. Only clans ranked IV or better can participate. The clan that manages to hold the castle by defending an artifact inside for the longest period during the event will be given control of the Delos castle, and their customized flag will fly above it until the next castle siege war in which they must defend their hold.

The clan that holds the castle will set the tax rate for all zones and will receive all collected funds. However, setting the tax rate too high will make it difficult to get allies to defend the castle at the next castle siege.

Furthermore, the clan that holds the castle controls the gate through which people must pass in order to get to the Abyss dungeon. By simply closing the gate to non-allies they can inflate the price of the abyss gems which they can then sell for increased prices.


players lvl 60-69 are put into a random party where they fight against the opposite nation the nation who first destroys 2 monuments in the zone wins, and if nether nation destroy the monuments whichever nation has more kills before border war ends wins, winners get exp and a red treasure chest


War for lvl 70~80.


These events do not occur on a regular basis.(currently Underway is the Halloween event of 2007 last until november 1st)

Boss events may be announced in-game with only a few minutes warning and may occur on any or all of the maps. Bosses may start to appear outside of the home cities in Karus or El Morad or even in Moradon. The bosses are typically very strong and are usually only taken down by very high level characters and well organized clan parties.

XP events occur more frequently when game managers or Kings launch the events. XP events increase the amount of experience points gained by killing monsters. Similarly, there are Noah events which reward users with higher than normal levels of in-game currency when they kill monsters.

Tournament war events may be organized well in advance with exp rewards to encourage participation and are typically restricted to paying players. Inter-server wars can take place between the humans and orcs of one server group (ares, dies, etc) and another. Inter-branch wars can take place between the humans and orcs of one branch (US, China, Korea, Japan) and another. While only the first 300 paying players may participate in the war from each branch of Knight Online, the rest of the players (both free and paying) may go head to head in the Colony Zone. The most recent World Championship was held September of 2007 (Date N/A)and the U.S. branch finished in ? place.[2]
