Coco's Knight Leveling Guide (Pierce)

Welcome to my Knight Leveling Guide.

Notes on this guide:
  1. This is a basic guide for beginners.
  2. It is intended to level your Knight on a new server without any zeny requirements.
  3. The guide is best used in servers with a free Healer. However, it can be used on severs without a healer(use inn).
  4. The areas specified are just guidelines. You can mix them or stay at the same map if you think the exp is appreciable.
  5. All the screen-shots are from RMS test server. 
  6. This guide was created in haste. Please don't mind the errors if you find any.
  7. Please respect the CC rights and mention the source if you are re-posting the guide elsewhere.


Creating your characters

Start of by making your Knight, Priest and a Sage. You will definitely require a sage for Endows. Try to get to job 50, as it would help you with mobbing during the 90+ levels. Going all the way to a priest is a personal choice. You can stop leveling an Acolyte once he has Agi 10, Bless 10 and Warp-Portal 4.

Job 1-10

Once you have changed all your chars to 1st job, take your mage to geffen and use this trick to get job 10 easily.


Base 15-45

Head to lhz_fild01 or ein_fild07 and kill Metalling using Firebolt.


Base 45-60

Do the Lost Puppies Quest and Brasilis Dungeon Entrance Quest. This should get you to Base 60. If you do not have Brasilis episode on your server, continue with Metallings on ein_fild07.


Job 40-50

As a swordsman, you definitely want to go for job 50. It will help you a lot during 90+ leveling. Finish off the last few job levels at Geographers.



First few levels after job change

Continue at Geographers or Drosera until the Sage has maxed all the endows. Once your Sage has all the endows, you can switch to playing your Knight.


Preparations

Using the money from the drops buy yourself basic NPC gears for Knight i.e. Full Plate, Manteau, Boots, Helm and a Lance.

Your stats and skills should look like the following:

Stats: Link

Skills:




With the above stats you will have decent ASPD. You just have to pierce and flywing. Return to Inn if you run out of SP. Warp back and repeat. Make sure you bring some Monster Feed(or any other healing item) for HP


Base 70-85

Here are the leveling spots for your Knight using Pierce.

High Orcs
This would pretty much be your bread-and-butter mobs. I usually kill them till 99. However, they have very poor drops.



Minorous
These are the alternate for High Orcs. The cards are really useful and sell for a lot. Once you get 2 cards, you can switch to +10 Pike[4] and use a shield for additional defense.



Argiope
They have medicore exp, but its a good place to farm Boots[1] especially if your server has no Abbey Dungeon.


Hill Wind
Although they are not 'Large', they still die to 2 pierce. Each mob gives you 1.5k zeny which is pretty nice.


Base 85-99

At around 85 your stats should like the following:




Now you have to decide if you want to continue solo or join a party. If you want to continue solo, you can dump all the stat points into Agi/Int to help you spam Pierce faster. Alternatively, if you want to join a party, put your stat point into Vit for mobbing.

Do Note: You can also use 2 Hand Quicken or Bowling Bash if you get bored of Pierce. 

Use the same spots mentioned above to get to 99. If you are really geared and have a slave HP you can try the following places:

Kasa
If you do have really good equipment, try Piercing Kasa for some really good exp. You need good amount of pots for this map. The loot, especially the equipment from Kasa sells for a good price. More info on here.


Hope you guys enjoyed the mini-guide. Make you you check out the Lord-Knight Guide.

Cheers
