Disclaimer Hey I made this guide from scratch using bits and pieces of my knowledge and knowledge that others have provided. Please dont steal my work, and if you are going to copy and paste parts of mine onto your guide, please say its from my guide "1PirateLord's ThunderBreaker Guide". I can't say this is copywritten cause i don't know how to do that stuff, but don't copy without citing, its not right. Thanks Other Guides by me My Dawn Warrior Guide Table of Contents Intro Coming Soon Knights of Cygnus Blessing of the Sprite AP All0cation ----- Low Dex TBreakers ----- Higher Dex TBreakers First Rank Build ----- The Build ----- First Rank Skill Table Second Rank Build ----- The Build ----- Second Rank Skill Tables Third Rank Build ----- The Build ----- Third Rank Skill Tables Training ----- Levels 10+ ----- Levels 30+ ----- Levels 70+ Videos Links Updates v.1 • Created Guide (lol) Intro Wattup-- This is my 2nd guide ever, and i am really trying. I get my information from several websites, friends from KMS, and me playing KMS. What is typed below is based off others and my experience. Your comments are my guide savers. Please help me create a usefull guide by commenting/criticism (excluding the "this is your first guide" remarks). Thanks • Note: I am CONSTANTLY EDITING, so if there is something i have missed i will get to it ASAP.Help me out guys, i want to get this stickied and help people out there! • And Forum moderators can move it to the new Knights section when it is open, please, thanks Please ask any questions you have and i will try my best to answer them! Create a Knights of Cygnus Section so i can get stickied ftw! :D Soon To Be Added • Better info abridged to your comments. • Better Training Section Knights of Cygnus Ahhh, smell that? That is the great aroma of Cygnus, just waiting to be played! Things you should know! • Their level cap is at 120 instead of 200. • They recieve 6 AP upon leveling instead of 5, but that ends at level 70, where you will then recieve 5 AP like normal. • Job Advancement is at Ereb, Erev, Ereve, whatever you want to call the place. You can go their via the Erev Dock in Ellinia located near Grendels Study and Ossyria (normal faring). • You need a character level 20/30 or higher to create a Knight of Cygnus, at least that is what everyone is saying. You don't need one in KMS. Blessing of the Sprite Edit: You can stack BoS with apples, echoes, all that good stuff because it is passive! You recieve BoS from your main character or your "parent character". For every 10 levels your main has, you get 1 more level added on to your BoS. So if you have a level 92, It will round down to 90 and give you a level 9 BoS out of 20. Blessing of the Sprite will always round down (if you were 86, youd get level 8 BoS, if you are 114, you will get level 11 BoS) If your parent character is a Knight, then the max BoS you can get is level 12. BoS Stats are as followed: (CREDITS TO ISAACGS OF SOUTHP.) I do not take credit for this

hmm the flame wizard video look crazy

I've got a few questions. 1. Does sparks only work with Lightning Sprite, or does it also work with other attacks? 2. Let's say I've got sparks on and the Sprite hits three enemies. Does the Spark activate for each enemie? Like, would all three of the enemies send out sparks to three other enemies, thus making Sparks hit 9 times total? Or do the Sparks only come out of one enemie, thus making Sparks hit 3 times total? (basically, does spark activate for every enemies you hit, or just one?) 3. Sparks does a constant 120% damage to three enemies regardless of what the first hit was? Gah, I think my questions are confusing.

Yeah once i get more comments im making a flame wizard build ;) Edit: It works with sharkwave, corkscrew, and LSprite. those are the ones ive seen so far. And it does around 120% constant. not too sure though i havent gotten that far, here check this out and watch the little electricity lines on the monsters after sharkwave and the damage they do. It only hits 3 monsters, not nine. So if you sharkwave, you will hit however many mosnters sharkwave hits, THEN Sparks kicks in and hits 3 monsters out of the ones you hit or just nearby with 120% http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYPRrrzr1J8&feature=PlayList&p=8D1DAA1CC6ECF123&index=51 Easy spot to notice. :47 seconds to like 1:10 seconds

Ah yes, I just looked up that video for reference. Anyhoosil, I just wanted to make sure I had my facts straight for when I suggested...a new Second Job Build! Bumbumba! Although the build in the guide is nice, I think it could be improved. First of all with adding points into Lightning Sprite. Methinks the only real reason someone would keep using the sprite is because it works with sparks, which can cause great damage. But I think all you need is 11 points in it, because it hits 3 enemies at all levels, and the damage from the sprite alone is pretty small from what I've seen, and those last nine points aren't going to make it great. Next, (this one is kinda up in the air) I think you should leave Cork at 11 and max blast. Without Blast, all you'll have is Fist, Ssk, and Cork to get you through 70 levels. And, you'll have next to no use for Energy Charge until like 11X (except for the buffs of course). If you leave Cork at 11, you'll still have your "Pushing and Creating Mobs" attack (which is really what you use Cork for anyways) and you'll have a nice, kinda-spammable, strong attack. Even though it got heavily nerfed, it's still stronger than Ssk, if your only hitting like 4 enemies. So, basically, I think it would make training easier and faster if you had Blast, and 11 in Cork and Sprite.

Well as i was discussing with someone else, we stop using blast once we get Shark, but we still use corkscrew with shark, as you saw in the vid reference

I think Koc are not allowed to do PQ's...(I think only cpq)

codypupp 07/08/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

i think its only Ellin PQ but i will check after the maintenance is done, or tomorrow :]

HotGolfer64 07/08/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

Ah, but getting to level 70 may be the problem. I can imagine constant Ssking and Corking getting boring. And only having 3 skills to use is kind of odd, considering normal Brawlers get Double Uper and Backspin. Plus, having 11 Cork isn't even that bad. You still have much more than half the damage of regular Cork, and it can be used to create mobs at any level. Usually, your not even using Cork to do damage, your just making mobs, like the Striker in the Video was doing. Blast however can out-damage Sharks on mobs of 3 or less. And it has the same damage on mobs of 4. So it isn't completely replaced. But the main point is it'll help a ton in second job, which is why I think it should be maxed.

Hmm, ill consider it and maybe implement it tomorrow, so come back to my thread and comment some more :]

If you don't have knowledge on something, don't write about it. Max Drain, not shockwave.

codypupp Jul 08 2009 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

i have knowledge to an extent so i borrow bits and pieces of others, your comments are to help, not to restrain.

HotGolfer64 Jul 08 2009 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

Well, after taking some things into consideration, I think that leaving Corkscrew at level 11 isn't the best choice. Instead, I think you should Max both Blast and Cork, and leave Booster at 11. Then in third job when your saving your SP for Speed Infusion, put 9 points into Booster, and leave 11 Speed Infusion. The only thing your missing out on with those 9 points out of SI is time, but at 11 it's got 210 seconds anyways, which should be enough. So this will let you max out both Blast and Corkscrew in second job, and it won't mess up your build in third. Also, 11 Drain can do almost as good a job as Max Drain, but 11 Shockwave fails Compared to Max.

I have problems with your Low Dex equips. First of all you never get a STR overall because you want DEX equips. And always have shoes scrolled for DEX not for accuracy. That way you can have the lowest amount of DEX to wear your weapon. And it's better to scroll a class overall to get extra stats and defence. Always aim for a class overall you can wear without the DEX bonus from an overall.

If you have more Dex, then you can wear higher leveled Pirate overalls, which give better stat boosts, and also look nice. It really comes out the same anyways, whether you decide to scroll for Dex or for Str.
