Getting Started
Now that you have chosen your stats, here is a basic guide on how to level up your Knight. Please note that there are many different preferences on where to hunt; this is just my opinion.
As a Knight, you will find yourself in Hidden Valley. This is the beginning area of the game for Knights. Familiarize yourself with this town and what it contains. There are people (NPC’s) standing around the town that you can talk to in order to familiarize yourself with the game. At the gates of the town, you will want to talk to the Healer’s, as they will heal you (HP and MP) when you are injured. There are also a few NPC’s that will enchant your armor (Armor Enchanter), enchant your weapon (Weapon Enchanter), polymorph you (Polymorh NPC), and Haste you (Haste Master) all for a small fee. These are probably good NPCs to talk to in order to strengthen your weapons and armor until you can cast those spells yourself. You are welcome to stay in this valley until you are level 12, although you are welcome to leave at any time to go to Silver Knights Town. In order to tele to Silver Knights Town, talk to Illdrath in the town.
I want to mention this here as I find it very crucial to the game until you are fully lawful. As you walk around the town, pick up as much junk (letters, meat, lamps, lanterns, armors, weapons, etc.). Just make sure that your weight does not go over 50%. I would suggest picking up or sending yourself as many letters as you can since they don’t take up much if any weight. You will want a lot of these, probably around 70-100. You are probably thinking that this sounds really stupid, but here is the point. If you are not full lawful (32,767 alignment points) and you die, you will drop an item from your inventory. By carrying so many letters, you will usually drop a letter rather than the important item you don’t want to lose. Note that this does not guarantee that you will drop one of the items you want, it just improves the statistics of you not dropping it.
If you look in your inventory window (press the Tab key), you will see a map of Hidden Valley, a leather jacket, a dagger and 2 candles. Put on the leather jacket by double clicking on it, and then do the same with the dagger. The candles can be used at night when it is dark.
