New Everything!
Hi,
I am new. I started a Knight in hopes that I would farm some stuff to support my Mage. I have read all the guides, and I guess this seems a bit backwards.
Right now my Knight just hit 48, doing the last few levels in Upper FV, getting owned by Phoenix, and just barely killing Ifrit. I guess money is coming in pretty good, and I am getting a bunch of scrolls to start chanting my gears. I am at 1.3mil. The original goal was to hit 1.8mil to buy a CSOM for my mage to be able to regen mana and lvl. I also got some Mana pots.
The thing is, now Knight seems pretty fun. I am going to try and lvl up what I can. Mage used to be endless TU'ing, which I don't mind, but is it any different from 10 years ago?
Noob ToS really hurts my Knight. I am at -31 AC with a +6 Great Sword. Should I buy a Silver Axe? What can I realistically afford as a brand new player? Keep hunting FV to get how much money to buy what? I know the goal is Wind Axe, but that is a few weeks away for sure.
How much is A-Robe? APM? Reg Ori dagger? I saw a BOri for 60mil.
Should I switch back to Mage to farm? Farm noob ToS? Does Noob ToS make money or just lvl?
Any help appreciated!

Re: New Everything!
Use a Frozen Cloud mage on Black Knight Search Parties (Small Wasteland). Once you can find Firestorm, use that instead. Great way to make some starter Adena.
Unfortunately, on such a high-rate server, you skip a lot of content. For hunting, go Giran Prison 1F until 52. Once you have DK poly, more spots will open up. LoA is for below 60 after your GP timer has run out.For items, buy an APM (1 million), craft a Fortified t-shirt, use the COPs from BK packs and make a +5 or +6 with your spare nzels, use a Mithril Dagger (free - 100k) good starter weapon for undead, upgrade to Wind Axe later and AOE farm Giran Prison, Power Gloves (250k), Red Knight Set for Helm/Shield (Quest), Pretender King Boots (100k), Troll Belt.
Once you have all that, hit level 52+ you can start farming better spots for adena. -
Re: New Everything!
Thanks for the reply. I will try and get APM > Mith Dagger > Iron Boots? RK Set?
LoA really kicked my butt. The exp was ok, but it was a pot chug fest, same with GP a bit. I can farm Upper FV to make money until I get AC, unless there is a better place, but as you say, everything gets outgrown so fast.

Re: New Everything!
you do not have to follow what other said (starting with mage). I did not start with mage and I am doing fine.
go get a +0-7ori first (~3m) and hunt noob tos. DO NOT GO GP FOR NOW.
you can do noob tos/skt4f/oren wasteland/heine/etc.
The reason you do not go GP for now because noob tos offer similiar exp. and not too bad drop. Dull weapon sell to gtz npc for 30k each.
Also gp is not safe for you to level. People will coi gank you ALL THE TIME.
There are many way to make adena. Melee class at higher lv (60+) can also make adena. but yes mage/elf will make a lot more early on.
Enjoy what you playing.

Re: New Everything!
Vickytang's info is the one i would go with. Seems a little more reasonable. For sure, stay away from GP until you can handle yourself. COI gank is common down there, among other types of PK lol. All the info is sound though

Re: New Everything!
GP for pure leveling, and also this way u will learn faster about pvp/coi gank and how to escape them, notice how the mobs move etc.
just carry rteles with you and it will be fine.

Re: New Everything!
Thanks guys, I'm taking it a bit slow. Just grinding FV, hit up DVC a bit to get some BCoMR. I like that it is faster to find some items myself. Sucks that a lot of the drops I'm getting are not worth much!
When I get my AC up I will try for ToS. I kill way too slow now, and probably too slow for GP. I need to hunt places that give more money!
I will update when I hit 50.

Re: New Everything!
I'm a little late on this but I hope you find it and I hope it's helpful and relavant. Almost every pserver I play, I start as a knight. It's not the most efficient, but you can make it efficient easily. Any class can grind well and make money/XP in their own ways.
If you're up for the mind numbing grind, go to the Haunted House and farm 15 Crystals of Bravery. It should take you about 80 successful runs. Use that and craft yourself a Wind Axe or Intense Winter Spear, both of these weapons will proc AoE.
Finish up your class quests, the RK shield + RK hood give decent ac and bonus MR as a set.
Once you have that, head to SKT4 for money. Buy some base gear you can work off of there. For starters, I recommend:
Helm: HoMR (cheap, try to make a +6/+7)
Cloak: CoMR (cheap, try to make +6/+7)
Armor: APM (~2m)
Shirt: FTS (not sure on price)
Boots: Dread King Boots (~12m)
Gloves: AK Gloves (~30m)
Rings: x2 10% MR rings (not sure on price)
Belt: Belt of body (probably free from someone or just kill Giants) or Titan Belt (~3m, much longer hunts in SKT4 due to carry capacity)
Weapon: Ori Dagger (+0 is about 3m)
From here, you've got a lot of things you can work towards more efficiently such as a Guarder, lower level boss hunting, etc.
What's your ign? I won't be on until Monday but I'll whisper you and try to help you out a bit.
