How do you unseal the character in a Cypher Ring?
Character Unseal puts the character in the ring into an empty character slot on your account; free one up first if your slots are full. You'll see "Character seal has been lifted." when it works and "Character seal has failed to be lifted." when it doesn't.
How do you delete a character in Knight Online?
- Get a Character Delete Scroll. There's also an Untradable version that can't be given to other players.
- Go to [Fortune Teller] Mekin in Moradon and open the Character Delete menu.
- Pick the character to delete and place the scroll; the Delete button unlocks.
- If the character still has items in its inventory the game warns you. Confirm once you're sure.
The scroll's description and the delete prompt say the same thing: a deleted character can't be restored. Mekin's menu does show a "Character Delete and Character Restore" option, but don't treat deleting as something you can undo.
