Overview

Rune Knights are the final evolution of the Knight classes. Their name is often abbreviated and referred to as "RK". They have traded in their Pecos for new dragon mounts and are ready to do some serious damage with an arsenal of new powerful attacks while also having the highest HP pool compared to other classes.

Rune Knights have a slower startup leveling-wise, but they can become one of the most versatile and powerful classes in the game. Unfortunately, they suffer from a poor skill tree layout, forcing players to have to get 22 job points to max a basic AOE leveling skill (Ignition Break), or going with a Dragon Breath build early on, which may not be very strong in the first 20-30 levels. Rune Knights aspiring to have a Dragon Breath end-game build but do not want to use a skill/stat reset may resort to being mainly a party tank for 20-30 base levels until their HP and SP pools are higher for better damage, as that is how the Dragon Breath skill formula is calculated. The upside is that Bowling Bash and Brandish Spear is one of the most powerful non-third class AOEs and can be used until level 110-120 or so, but does require a good weapon. Dragon Breath ignores reductions in PVP / WoE and is one of the main killing skills, but depends on party buffs such as Magic Strings and Sacrament.

Finally, there are the the runes themselves. Players who choose the Rune Knight class are introduced to a new system of buffs and attacks in the form of rune stones. These consumables provide the user with immensely powerful buffs that range anywhere from a large increase in DEF/MDEF, potting ability, and massive damage increase. Unfortunately, creating runes consumes materials, but their sheer power makes them worth their cost. It is highly recommended that every Rune Knight should get the maximum level of Rune Mastery.

Job Change Guide

See Rune Knight Job Change Guide for detailed information.

This test is very easy, but it is strongly recommended to have high DEX (70 DEX is recommended) or use a high level of Twohand Quicken and Spear Dynamo for the final part due to the mobs having such high flee rate. You will be pitted up against three very powerful minibosses. You must time the use of your runes accordingly to allow yourself time to heal/get in hits.

Wind Cutter Build (2025)

Wind Cutter damage depends on Base level and Base Damage. So equips that increase ATK, will be helpful in boosting it's damage. The Wind Cutter skill hits enemies twice when using a Two-Handed sword, while using a spear makes it ranged attack for enemies with reflect. The main equipment that is needed initially is the full Peuz's set that will boost the Wind Cutter damage by a lot. This can be farmed in game from the Mora Coins given in the Mora Village quests. Additional gears help to boost damage and spamming.

This is a very good F2P starter build which new or old players can use to level up to 200+ easily. This build can also be used to farm and hunt some of the lower HP MVPs.

Dragon Breath Build (2025)

Introduction

Dragon Breath and Dragon Water Breath is a long range ground targeted AOE skill. It is one of the best overall build to clear more than 90% of the game content with right gears. Its damage calculation is very different from standard skills, refer the skill page for details. You need 185+ ASPD, 101% After Cast Delay, and near 0 Cast time, to maximise spamming the skill. It has no cooldown. Some of the runes will help change the element of the breath. Unfortunately, with current mechanics and equips its damage ceiling is lower than other builds.

Sonic Wave (2025)

Introduction

an offshoot of ignition break build which focuses on attacking single targets at a distance, thus not being affected by reflect shield, the stat spread and talents are the same as an IB build with the only difference being the equipment.
early on a sonic wave rune knight can use the peuz set with Oriental Sword [2] or the upgraded Awakened Onimaru [2] as an autocaster, benefiting from the Rune Knight Shadow Weapon chance of using ignition break and peuz's chance of using Pertz Runestone, the damage of this build takes off after lv170 when they are allowed to equip the edda biolab weapon and helmet combo with zodiac boots which eliminates the cooldown of sonic wave, allowing them to manually cast the skill for greater damage.

Equipment

• +11 Vernan [2] enchanted with Seyren's Memory
• +11 Biolab Aries Crown [1]
• +11 Zodiac Boots (Swordman) [1]
• Grace Breath Armor [1] + Noblesse Oblige [1]
• Jasper Ring [1]

Shadow Equipment

these shadow equipments improve Sonic Wave damage, SP consumption and provide some def bypass, but they are far from being the best.

• Rune Knight Shadow Weapon, Sonic Shadow Armor, Sonic Shadow Shoes and Sonic Shadow Shield

note that Vernan's cooldown reduction also works when Seyren's Memory is enchanted in Memory Records of Nostalgia [1] and Memory Records of Reminiscences [1], although the accessory itself doesn't benefit the build as much.
