Hello everybody Im just a level 39 mercenary and going for knight, as far as I learned and readed on many forums the best stats for a knight is 15DEX, STR 50-60 and the rest in STAMINA. Of course It is hard to kill monster when you only have 15DEX so you can make it 25-30 if you want. The reason for 15 dex only is that when you become a knight you will not need dex because knight only use AOE skill spamming.

The best weapon to use when you are a mercenary is your personal preference, both axes and swords have their pros and cons. Axe: has higher damage and plus the skill smite axe you will get additional defense. Swords: lower damage but quicker attack and with the skill blazing sword, make you hit more accurately.

For me I use swords because I hit with better accuracy using sword because of the skill blazing sword. Some people says that axe hit more accurately than sword without any skill using, but of course skills are there to be used, so with the help of blazing sword, sword really hit much accurately than axe now.

Do not forget that when you pick to use swords, you must still level your axe skills because when you become a knight in the future you will still use axe as your main weapon so still level up your axe skills.

Basically in items +2plug earring is really a good help because it gives you +60DEF you can get this in quest for lvls43 and above. A good tip also is to make another character to have 2 +2plug earrings, which will give you a +120 on defense!!!!!!

Also the kngiht build mercenary is the most hard thing to lvl up because of the low dex but if you are rich enough a few skill spamming will do good. Like using keenwheels and splmashes. You can also join a party with assist that have skills like accuracy and cannonball, it really helps you to hit more.

Finally after all the hard work of leveling up when you become a knight its not that hard anymore because you can kill 5-10 monster simultaneously at once with your AOE skills

I hope you learned a lot from this guide and pls. post your comments and suggestions.

Most people use swords and switch to axe at around lvl 60-65. Blazing swords acurracy helps a lot. Axes atk slower and with high chances of missing, so you'd probably want to use sword for it's faster atk speed. Lvl axe skills while training, but use a sword to fight. Sword is still more useful than axe until 65 when you get your AoE's. Charge does more dmg and has a faster cast time than Pain Dealer, so the sword is still your best friend until 65.

If you have any DEX as a knight, try to obtain a restat to convert it into STA.

i have 20 dex right now, lvl 25 30 str and rest in dex, should i restat when i become knight?

[SilentXHiLL]

I used Axes until 60. Sword until 65 and Axes ever since.

I haven't killed a monster using regular attacks since about lvl 22. The lack of DEX/accuracy has not once bothered me to be honest. :/ Skills work fine for me, and I never had problems using them.

Charge is a lot better, cause it looks cooler and the Pain Dealer status is broken (doesn't lower def at all). I always keep 2H swords with me for Giants and/or that single aggro that you just hate with a passion.

Power Stump is your orgasmic skill for life. It says that it stuns for 15% at max, but for some reason I stun quite often. Oh well. Only thing bad about it, is that it doesn't lock on, thus not making you the "owner" of an enemy. That way, someone can come along and just KS you like that.

Once you hit 60, your life becomes hell. First of all, you don't get to wear your actual armor until 62, so you look like a retarded figure straight out of the wizard of Oz for 2 levels. And the grinding seems to go SO SLOW until you become 65. Then you pop out the 2H Axe and become best friends with mister level up. (actually, at lvl 57, the exp seems to take a nose dive.)

[phr33k4z0id]

yea i think right before changing jobs, at lvl 15 and 60, the exp seems to go down a lot.

[SilentXHiLL]

At level 56, I had about 0.40 exp per kill in the most favorable situation (monsters 9 levels higher - full contri party with lvl 59 blade build friend)

Then I became level 57, and my exp dropped to 0.27 per kill. o_o (though I must say, if I get that now, I'd orgasm on the spot)

Oh man, I hate how bad 5x armor and 60 armor clashed. My one driving passion was getting to 62 so I could get my BP suit.

Thanks for your comments, I learned that it is better to have both axe and sword skills and to use sword in fighting until about 65. Actually my plan before is to AXE only until the end but after this I think I will try swords. But the only problem is, it's kind of expensive to have both axe and sword skill :wacko:

[Strafe]

A simpler way would be a DEX build sword mercenary then just restat once you hit 65. This will save you a lot of money compared to skill spamming as a merc and also greatly increase your leveling speed.

[darkganja]

my suggestion though....go for pure sta..
there are skills for knight which dont need str

[7thSin]

well...sorry to say but this guide did not help me at all .............

[malloc]

Well, i'm level 53 with this build

str - 40 (with str ring - add 1)
sta - 94 (with sta ring - add 1)
dex - 20 (accidently add it lol)
int - 15

currently i'm a skill spammer, my guillotine level 16 + 61% now
i can kill like 10 levels mobs higher than me

the thing is, should i add more points on str or keeps adding sta ?

[cLocky187]

eLow!!!!

uhm i just want to know what is the future of the knight if he/she have this kind of stats

str 74
sta 61
dex 20
(no plugearring, no rings lvl 56)

the rest level up points will be add to stamina!!

[SilentXHiLL]

The future of that Knight rests in the hands of star candy, plug earrings and a ringmaster.

I have 75 str and 89 sta now at lvl 68, just to try that build. You do more damage, but they also do more to you. A lot more. Not to mention that you only have 4300 HP. :/

[phr33k4z0id]

At lvl 70, I have 60STR and 110STA. HP is right around 5000 more or less, I'm not exactly sure how much. I think 60STR is the perfect amount, but it is a personal preference. STR ranges from 30-60 in most cases but go as high as 75, like SilentXHiLL.
