What do the NP symbols mean in Knight Online?

NTTGame's ranking pages keep two top-100 lists for every server and nation (Karus, El Morad): the Knights ranking by total NP and the Ladder ranking by this month's NP, the Monthly NP. Both lists use the same five classes, and the symbol's color tells you which band someone is in.

Rank classes and the reward on the ranking page
Rank in your nationKnights classLadder classReward column
1 Gold Knight Gold 1,000,000
2–4 Silver Knight Silver 700,000
5–10 Mirage Knight Mirage 500,000
11–40 Shadow Knight Shadow 300,000
41–100 Mist Knight Mist 200,000

The reward figures are from the global USKO ranking page (September 26, 2026). Per the in-game help, these rankings pay a daily stipend by rank, collected from the [Knight Clerk] in your nation's castle: Delaga in Luferson Castle and Charel in El Morad Castle. The NPC descriptions say they handle stipends and promotions.

What is Monthly NP and how is it different from ladder points?

Monthly NP is the NP you've earned this month. NTTGame's Turkish announcements call it 'Ladder Point (Monthly NP)', so the two are the same thing. Total NP (CONT in game) builds up as you kill enemies and decides your knight rank and clan points. Monthly NP decides the month's ranking and some event entries.

  • Ultima's Dungeon: entry needs at least 50 ladder points unless you have Premium (latest post September 17, 2026, Knight Online Ultima's Dungeon: event times, entry requirements and rewards).
  • Draki's Tower: the game won't let you in without 30 ladder points.
  • JR and the level 80+ BDW: a 100 Monthly NP entry fee was added in October 2022 on the Turkish servers (USKO); Premium players were exempt.

How do you farm Monthly NP?

Per the in-game help, ladder points come from killing players of the other nation in war zones like Ronark Land and Ardream, and dying costs you points. Killing someone higher level than you pays more and killing someone lower pays less; the dead player loses as many points as the killer gains.

Rewards go out by in-game mail at the first maintenance of the next month, and mail you don't claim within 30 days is deleted. The announcement also warns against changing your name or race near the end of the event, since the reward may not arrive.

How much NP do you need for a symbol?

There's no fixed threshold; the symbol follows your rank. For scale, the El Morad list on the global USKO server Zion looked like this on September 26, 2026: on the Ladder, 100th place had 33,252 points, 40th 65,775 and 10th 155,571; on Knights, 100th place had 3,452,635 total NP. On the Turkish servers the Gold to Mist thresholds depend on the server and the month. Check the current numbers on NTTGame's ladder ranking or the knights ranking.

How do you add a clan symbol? The 32x32 symbol

The NP symbol by your name and the clan symbol are different things. Clan symbols are for knight squad clans: put a 32x32 image named symbol.bmp into the Symbol folder of your game directory and register it at the Cape Merchant, which costs Noah. The game's own sample symbol file is 32x32 as well. Clan grades and cape rules are in How to create a clan in Knight Online: clan grades, NP, Royal Knight, capes and loot splits.

FAQ

When does Monthly NP reset?
On the 1st of every month, per the in-game help. If there's a monthly ranking event, rewards arrive by mail at the next month's first maintenance.
What's the difference between total NP and Monthly NP?
Total NP builds up for good and drives your clan grade and knight rank. Monthly NP is this month's NP (ladder points) and drives the monthly ranking and entries like Ultima.
Why did my symbol disappear?
The symbol follows your rank. If you drop out of the top 100, or Monthly NP resets at the start of the month and your ladder rank changes, the symbol changes too.
How do you lose ladder points?
By dying to a player of the other nation. Per the in-game help you lose as many points as your killer gains.
Where can you see the NP ranking?
On NTTGame's ladder ranking page; pick your server and nation to see the top 100.
