Knightly orders
Draft — Draft: checked against the game source, not yet read through end to endAvailable from the startJoin an order for quests, an armour gift by personal rank and a house at rank 9; orders do not train.
This page is further along your path. Read ahead if you’re curious; you can return when you reach this stage.
Joining and rank
Apply at an order with non-negative standing, one order skill at 22 and a second at 4. All knightly orders share one membership slot, so joining another order replaces the previous membership. Ranks run from 0 to 9 and follow the same reputation-and-skill promotion law as the other guilds.
Online, personal rank stops at 7; ranks 8 and 9 are chapter seats. Earned promotions are applied immediately when you open the order's services. A chapter seat does not count as personal rank for the permanent gifts.
What the order offers
| Service | What it does | Access |
|---|---|---|
| Quests | Order work, including hunts and rescues | Open |
| Receive Armor | Choose the order's armour gift | Knightly member; one claim per personal rank |
| Receive House | Claim the order's house | Personal rank 9; once per order |
| Training | None | The order offers no training |
The armour gift is a choice from the order's set. The house is a one-time claim at personal rank 9; online, chapter seats grant no house. For quest work, see Knightly order quests.
Orders do not sell potions, spells, magic items, soul gems or summoning, and they do not offer the Mages Guild teleport. Those are temple or Mages Guild services. See Temples and Mages Guild services.
Common mistakes
Expecting a knightly order to train a skill.
Counting a chapter seat as personal rank 9 for the house.
Joining two orders and expecting both memberships.
Looking for spell or potion services at an order hall.
