Introduction
What is a Knight of Cygnus?
A Knight of Cygnus, or also known as KoC, is a new race of characters(Currently: Adventurer, Knight of Cygnus, Aran) that is newly released in MapleSEA.
As for as the Maple Story goes, Cygnus, is the name of the new Queen of Ereb. As a Knight, you have been chosen to fight the evils of the Black Magician.
In reality, KoCs are viewed as overpowered. In a Monster Carnival challenge, a 31 Soul Master or a Flame Wizard can easily do 200, unlike that of a adventurer.

Knight of Cygnus Adventurer
Pros: Pros:
-Gains 6 AP per level -Has More skills
-Do not require Skill books -Can level to 200
-Gains mount earlier -Stronger in the later levels
-2nd Job Advancement Easier -Can do Elin PQ
Cons: Cons:
-Can only level to 120 -Lose out in Monster Carnival
-Do not receieve chair(beginner) -Weaker in lower levels
-Travelling to Erev can be a pain -Requires Skillbooks to master skills

What is a Night Walker?
A Night Walker is the knight of darkness. They utilize stars as their weapons much like that of an assasin.
They seem to be darkness based, however, they are actually poison based.

Account Creation: The Noblesse
Requirements: An already created level 20 or higher account

Using that account, head to Erev via a ship that departs from both Eillinia and Orbis (with the cost of 1000 mesos).
Create a Noblesse account by talking to the Divine Bird, but make sure you have an empty slot in the character selection menu before you do.
Whilst training, you should just add strength (STR), as it your abiltity points will be reseted once you job advance.
When you have done some of the quests, you will recieve a "Noblesse Gorgous Robe", a hat and a medal. It is recogmeneded that you use all three.

Skill Points:

Lvl 2 == >>>> (1) Nimble Feet
Lvl 3 == >>>> (2) Nimble Feet
Lvl 4 == >>>> (Maxed) Nimble Feet
Lvl 5 == >>>> (1) 3 Snails
Lvl 6 == >>>> (2) 3 Snails
Lvl 7 == >>>> (Maxed) 3 Snails

Training Places:
Do all of "Kiku the Knight Trainer"'s quests, they will bring you to level 10 swifty.

Ability Points
I suggest that you just follow the auto's way of doing things, unless you are out to make a Pure Luck Night Walker.
However, things like equips mess with auto, so each time you level, take everything off and click it! XD

1st Job Adv.: The Knight in Training
Once your account is level 10, head over to the Night Walker Job instructer, Icarut (the guy sitting on the tree), to advance and become a Night Walker.
Upon advancement, you will receive a medal, some training subis and a training claw, equip them.

1st Job Skills:

Nimble Body: (Maxed level: 10) [Passive]
It increases your accuracy and avoidability levels.

Keen Eyes: (Maxed level: 8) [Passive]
Increases the the attack range of your skills.

Disorder: (Maxed level: 10) [Attack]
When a monster is hit, some of its weapon attack and defence is decreased and it will subsequently move in the opposite direction. Not a useful skill to add as you will need to poke monsters with your claw.

Dark Sight: (Maxed level: 10) [Self-supportive] {Pre-requisite: Level 3 Disorder}
The skill allows you to hide in the shadows and evade monsters at the same time you lose the chance to attack, however, magical attacks still hit you.

Lucky Seven: (Maxed level: 20) [Attack]
Although its name suggests seven stars and the icon shows three, this skill only allows you to shoot two stars. This skill will be with you till you are level 100 where you accquire Triple Throw.

Darkness: (Maxed level: 20) [Summon]
This summons your personal guardian, the sprite of darkness. Though useful on the early levels, it will start to become a pain as you are not allowed to cancel it whenever you like.

Recomended Build:

Lvl 10 == >>>> (1) Lucky Seven (or Darkness)
Lvl 11 == >>>> (3) Lucky Seven (1) Darkness (if you did not put it at level 10)
Lvl 12 == >>>> (6) Lucky Seven
Lvl 13 == >>>> (9) Lucky Seven
Lvl 14 == >>>> (12) Lucky Seven
Lvl 15 == >>>> (15) Lucky Seven
Lvl 16 == >>>> (18) Lucky Seven
Lvl 17 == >>>> (Maxed) Lucky Seven (1) Nimble Body
Lvl 18 == >>>> (3) Nimble Body (1) Keen Eyes
Lvl 19 == >>>> (4) Keen Eyes
Lvl 20 == >>>> (7) Keen Eyes
Lvl 21 == >>>> (Maxed) Keen Eyes (5) Nimble Body
Lvl 22 == >>>> (8) Nimble Body
Lvl 23 == >>>> (Maxed) Nimble Body (1) Disorder
Lvl 24 == >>>> (3) Disorder (1) Dark Sight
Lvl 25 == >>>> (4) Dark Sight
Lvl 26 == >>>> (7) Dark Sight
Lvl 27 == >>>> (Maxed) Dark Sight
Lvl 28 == >>>> (4) Darkness
Lvl 29 == >>>> (7) Darkness
Lvl 30 == >>>> (10) Darkness

Training Places:

10 ~ 13: Do Kiku's last few quests (acclimation training)

13 ~ 21: Moon Bunny PQ, Pig Beach

21 ~ 30: Kerning PQ (Recomended 25 ~ 30), Ariant Colloseum, Ant Tunnel (Mushroom Growing Cave)

Quests:
All of the Cygnus Quests (Ereb, Henesys, Kerning , Ellinia, Perion) [NPC: Ninehearts, Roca, Mattias, Hersha, 00Boogie]
Introduction to the protection squad (Thailand) [NPC: Chai]
Nella & the Kerning City Citzen's Requests (Kerning City) [NPC: Nella]
"Danger" {If training in Mushroom Growing Cave} (Sleepywood) [NPC: "Danger" Signs: Horned Mushroom (Ant Tunnel III), Zombie Mushroom (Ant Tunnel IV)]
Shumi's Lost Coin & Bundle of Money (Kerning City) [NPC: Shumi]

2nd Job Adv. : The Official Knight
Requirements: Level 30 Night Walker

Head to Icarut and gain a quest where-by you are required to hunt 30 crests.
Head over to the "Training Hall 2" where you should begin hunting Tigureus.
Once 30 crests are hunted, talk to the NPC present and you will be teleported out.
Finally, head back to Icarut and talk to him.

2nd Job Skills:

Claw Mastery: (Maxed level: 20) [Passive]
It increases your accuracy and the minimum damage, also, it increases the amount of stars you can recharge.
(i.e. Steely [No Mastery] recharge >>> 1000 stars / Steely [Max Mastery] recharge >>> 1200 stars)

Critical Shot: (Maxed level: 30) [Passive]
This adds a critical element to your hits. When maxed, you have a 50%(higher than that of bowmen [40%] ) chance of hitting 2 times your damage.

Claw Booster: (Maxed level: 20) [Self-supportive]
This increases your rate of firing stars, however, when more SP points are added, only its duration is increased.

Haste: (Maxed level: 20) [Party]
This skill increases the speed and jump stats of your character, allowing you to move faster and traverse the map more efficiently.

Flash Jump: (Maxed level: 20) [Self-supportive]
Orginally a Hermit's skill, this skill allows the player to jump a long distance. When used in conjunction with Haste, Flash Jump's effects are dastically improved.

Vanish: (Maxed level: 10) [Attack]
A totally new move, this skill is one of the Night Walker's unique moves and similar to that of the Wind Breaker's Wind Walk. It allows the player to attack while in Dark Sight, however, this releases the Dark Sight, moreover, it adds extra power to the attack.

Vampire: (Maxed level: 20) [Attack]
Another original move in the Night Walker's arsenal. Vampire is a "Drain-like" mob skill that also gains a critical element from Critical Shot. In essence, it drains the monster(s) HP, however, this effect only takes place when your HP is lower than half. However, the direction of Vampire is determined by the direction your character faces. Althought it is not the ideal skill to use to kill hordes of monsters, it can be used to push them back, allowing you to shoot them with your stars.

Ideal Build:

Lvl 30 == >>>> (1) Vampire

Lvl 68 == >>>> (19) Flash Jump
Lvl 69 == >>>> (Maxed) Flash Jump (3) Vanish
Lvl 70 == >>>> (6) Vanish

This build allowed me to get around MC maps quickly with the costly Flash Jump (-60mp), but with the free potions, it proved to be extremely useful.
An early vanish allowed me to attack in Dark Sight. One in Vampire is merely to push MC monsters back, especially Toy Trojans.

Training Places:

30: Kerning PQ

31 ~ 50: Monster Carnival, Lubridium PQ(For level 35 to 50)

51 ~ 55: Orbis PQ (Bpq(s)), Ghost Ship

55 ~ 60: Herb Town PQ, Ghost Ship

60 ~ 70:Orbis PQ, Ghost Ship (Preferably Mysterious Path 3)

3rd Job Adv.: The Knight Sergent
Requirements: Level 70 Night Walker, 1 refined Dark Crystal (Dark! not Black!)

When you are at 70, Ninehearts will talk to you to start the quest.
Next, talk to the Knight Commander of Darkness, Icarut.
Talk to Ninehearts again and you will be issued a search warrent in exchange for your crystal.
Next, seach the whole of Ereb for Icarut.
Talk to him and the "Transforming Wizard" will be summoned. Defeat him and collect the item he drops.
Talk to Icarut again. Then activate the new quest and talk to the Divine Bird.
Congrats! You have now advanced!

3rd Job Skills:

Shadow Partner: (Maxed level: 30) [Summon / Attack / Self-Supportive] {Pre-requisite: A summoning rock for activation}
A must to add. This skills summons a shadow clone (Naruto?) of yourself that copies all of your attacks. Althought it is not as powerful, it is still very useful.

Shadow Web: (Maxed level: 20) [Attack]
This attack stops 6 enemies in their tracks with a certain percentage. Not really that useful.

Avenger: (Maxed level: 30) [Attack]
Uses MP to merge 3 throwing stars together to form a giant star that goes through your enemies.

Alchemist: (Maxed level: 20) [Passive]
This skill increases the effect of recovery items and lengthens the time frame of boost items.

Venom: (Maxed level: 20) [Attack] {Activates with the completion of a 110 Knight of Cygnus quest}
Throws a poison coated star at the enemy and has a chance of poisoning the target.

Tripe Throw: (Maxed level: 20) [Attack] {Activates with the completion of a 100 Knight of Cygnus quest}
This skill is the replacement of Lucky Seven. It shoots 3 stars!

Poison Bomb: (Maxed level: 30) [Attack]
Another original move in the Night Walker's arsenal. Poison Bomb is controled like a Gun Slinger's Grenade and attacks like a Fire Mage's Poison Fog.

Recomended Build: (Kinda looks like a sin's O.o)
