Rune Knight is a 3rd class job based on the knight class, and expands their repertoire of offensive spear and sword skills. Like their name suggests, Rune Knights can use
runes, magic stones that bestow special abilities. A rune knight
can craft these stones out of special ingredients and use them when needed. Rune Knights can no longer use their peco mount, but can now use a new special dragon mount.
Knight and
Lord Knight players that are
level 99 can elect to change to Rune Knight. Becoming a 3rd job allows the player to continue leveling beyond level 99, to a maximum of 150.
