Why Play a Knight in Tibia

Knights are masters of melee combat who use brutal physical strength to dominate enemies. They possess greater physical strength than any other vocation, the highest carrying capacity, and the most hitpoints in the game. Knights are always welcome in hunting teams because of their high defense and ability to block monsters while collecting loot.

The Knight is the only vocation that doesn’t need runes or ammunition for hunting — only potions. Combined with their huge carrying capacity, this makes them excellent money-makers.

Best Skills to Focus On

Melee Skill

Your melee skill determines your physical damage output. Knights advance melee skills the fastest of any vocation.

Training Tips:

• Use Balanced Fighting during normal hunting for steady skill progression
• Train on creatures that heal themselves or spawn adds for extended skill training
• Use a weak weapon (Knife for swords, Crowbar for clubs, Sickle for axes) to extend training time on low-level creatures

Shielding Skill

Shielding reduces incoming physical damage and is crucial for tanking in group hunts.

Training Tips:

• Always use a one-handed weapon and shield while training shielding
• Use Balanced Fighting or Defensive Fighting — Offensive Fighting slows shielding progression
• Hunt creatures that deal physical damage for best shielding gains

Magic Level

Knights advance magic level extremely slowly, but it still matters for healing spells and certain runes at higher levels.

Training Tips:

• Always eat food to maintain mana regeneration
• Cast spells whenever your mana bar is full to avoid wasting regen ticks
• Carry Mana Potions for emergency magic level training
• Avoid spending time in Protection Zones without mana regeneration

• Hunt profit zones — Focus on hunts with valuable loot drops
• Loot bags — Use your capacity advantage to carry more loot per hunt
