# Knights

As a result of their focus on physical skills, knights are severely lacking in terms of magical abilities.

### Benefits

* Knights advance the fastest in melee skills. 
* Knights advance quickly in shielding, at the same rate as paladins and much faster than sorcerers and druids. 
* Largest carrying capacity. 
* Largest amount of hitpoints and fastest regeneration. 
* Can use Challenge to rescue their teammates.
*  Knights are melee fighters and as such, they don't need to run around shooting enemies with runes or ranged weapons, their gameplay tends to be a bit more relaxed. 
* The only supplies knights need on a hunt are healing runes, they have no need for ammunition and because of that, and their huge carrying capacity, they are good at money-making. 
* Knights have access to more types of strong, defense-oriented equipment than other classes. 
* They're welcome in hunting teams because of their high defense and resistance against physical damage. 
* Their primary role is to be the tank and the loot collector, they block the monsters' damage while others attack from a distance like Paladins and Sorcerers and the Druids using heal friend spells to help him to block monsters in a better way and for his huge carrying capacity to collect monsters' loot 'cause a higher levels knights rarelly runs out of capacity unlike other classes with less carrying capacity making knights an indispensable class for team hunts like Druids.
