Dark Knight F.A.Q./Guide

[Drynavere]

Besides the fact that some people think it wouldn't make sense, I strongly agree with the 2 dex=1 accuracy, and 2 str=1 attack.

Now..I don't think it's EXACTLY that....but I do think that accuracy and attack are more effective than dex and str, although they do basically the same things.

If you look at prices for items. You can get a Dex+2 ring for anywhere from 10k-20k on my server. But if you look at say...the archer's ring, which is, correct me if I'm wrong, a +2 accuracy ring...it goes for what...3 to 4 times more than the Dex ring.

Not exactly sure on the price of the archer ring, but just as an example, It would only make sense for attack and accuracy to be more effective. Hence the reason why it costs so much more.

the formula for monks h2h damage, at least from what i've seen posted a few places, is h2h (Skill/9.1)* 0.9 + 3...then of course you add whatever weapon your using to that. (That is the formula for one hand btw)

So monks damage is mainly off the skill level, but STR could play a factor, im guessing, because maybe it effects the base h2h more, not the weapon portion.

[Kensai]

I'm not entirely sure but I did some testing using multiple boosts and fighting different creatures and using mithkabobs and I think that STR=max damage while ATK=a kind of damage rating against defense. It's kind of hard to explain but basically you can get your attack as high as you want when fighting a forest hare but you will still do the same damage without it while you would do more damage agaisnt a crab with more attack because it has more defense. Eh, basically I believe that attack and strength are different but you can take these tests any way you want.

edit: hmmm, this theory either goes with or is proved wrong by awntawn's post about damage caps.

[albert lee]

awntawn, since the patch fuked alot of info up, can you do an update please?

[Awntawn]

I'll see if I have time to :sweat: Most of the info from 1~64 is still exactly the same, though. It only really changes with the 225 WS's.

[shock~moredheL]

Hey Awntawn getting PT with DRK is pretty hard huh? Whys that? I think its just how many DRK's there are.

[Guile]

Are there any websites devoted to Dark Knight? I know there are some other ones devoted to classes such as ranger.

as it says on official strategy guide glosssary AGI=higher chances of evasion and ATTACK SPEED...So if you a drk you better work on that agi like i do...most people dont know this
dex=more critical hits too so u need to wrok on that too no just accuracy
str= more dmg i dont think attack+ is specific more dmg

BULLSHIT, nothing effects your attack speed! The guide also says that Mithras are the best at any melee, that Taru THFs suck (which with their high AGI for Trick, they don't), and tons of other false info, it's a piece of shit...

[Vampp]

damn, no one is ever in Diabolos =(

If agi doesnt add to attack speed then why does ranger needs it to shoot faster as it says everywhere

[Awntawn]

It doesn't say that everywhere :sweat:

BTW I could hand-write and hand-draw pictures to a better guide than that official strategy guide. It's completely full of shit.

[Socrates]

the guide is wack, yes.

but mithra still rox =p

[Claudinho69]

well it does says that the guide was made with help of the ffxi makers....i do know thers some wrong stuff there like check out how good they say mithra is in the guide but check shadow-dragons.com chart which seems to be more rite to me
