Knowledge Ranks

Monster Knowledge is helpful in more than one way as it is not only showing you your enemies detailed HP bar and increasing your maximum energy. Monster Knowledge is also granting additional benefits while fighting your foe:

S Rank
Increases the Chance for Rare Items

A+
Increasing your damage even further

A
Increasing your damage

B
Reduce the damage taken

C
Detailed HP Bar

Ranks are downwards compatible which means you gain all the benefits of the lower ranks – e.g. as A Rank you gain the increased damage and the reduced damage taken in combination with the detailed HP bar.

HP Bars

If you do not have any Knowledge about from your target you can still “read” the HP Bar depending on the color of it.

Knowledge & the Cashshop

While gaining Knowledge in general and the Ranks in specific are completly RNG – you can basically S Rank on your first kill ever – there are two items from the Cashshop now only increasing your chance to gain Knowledge but to increase your chance on getting higher Rank Knowledge.

Both items costs 500 Pearls each and take up the costume slot (Eye / Ear).

Do you recommend those items?
On this I can only give you a simple and clear yes – at least your main character should use those two items, the increased speed is really noticeable and in combination with the higher chance on S Rank knowledge you will save so much time grinding for the S Rank and then for the actual item you are farming for e.g. the Ogre Ring.

Free Glasses

For those of you that don’t want to spend money of those items: I have good news! For a total of 3000 hours of playtime (125 days worth of playtime) you will be gifted with glasses that increase your chance on getting knowledge.
