How do you join Knight Royale?

  1. Press the Join button in the window that pops up on your screen; you can register twice a day.
  2. Wait out the 10-minute timer; the first 160 players who clicked are split across two maps.
  3. Leave at least one free bag slot before you enter, or you get no Soul Gems at the end.

What do you start with?

Starting kit and rules
RuleDetail
Kit 1 small potion, Old Bow (7 attack), Old Knife (14 attack), 15 arrows, 2 skill scrolls
Level Everyone starts at level 1; kills on players or monsters level you up (max HP, max MP, attack, defense rise)
Bag At most 9 different items during the battle
Enemy HP You can't see enemy health bars go down
Start zone 40 or more players: zone 1; fewer than 40: zone 3

Put the starting weapons and both skill scrolls on your skill bar as soon as you land. You spawn at a random spot on the map.

How does the poison gas move?

Gas starts 3 minutes in and moves one zone every 180 seconds, from zone 1 to zone 5. You get a warning when you step into it, and the screen turns purple once it starts hurting you. The minimap and countdown show the gas and the chest spots, so watch the timer.

Which gear tiers exist?

Gear from monsters and Gift of Pathos chests
TierWeaponsArmor
1 Dagger 23, Short Bow 11 Pathos Chitin set, 5 defense per piece
2 Long Sword 42, Bow 20 Pathos Krowaz Chitin set, 9 defense per piece
3 Greatsword 63, Composite Bow 30 Pathos Holy Knight set, 15 defense per piece
Mithril Mithril Greatsword 84, Mithril Bow 42 Craft icon: Greatsword or Composite Bow plus a Mithril Ingot

Mithril Ingots drop with a chance from chests and from the Pathos' Delegate boss. The boss shows up once the third gas region is active and keeps moving between the fourth and fifth regions. It carries Mithril Ingots and High Level Holy Water, and whoever kills it gets a 3-minute attack buff.

FAQ

Do my own gear and level matter in Knight Royale?
No. Everyone starts at level 1 with the same kit; only what you loot and kill inside the match counts.
Where do I spend Soul Gems?
[Trader] Julia in Moradon. Skip the 700-gem Anniversary Emblem if you want stats; it has none.
What happens to Soul Gems I don't spend?
They're deleted when the event ends, so trade them at Julia before the run is over.
