Obviously, the fastest way to gear them is when:Ģ.you're always equipping something while training While they were training to 30 or 29 str required I had them equip the rest of the gear.Īnd I ended up almost without replacing any piece of gear. I already had helm, gloves, bow, arrows, boots in this time equipped. Obviously putting the plate in one go was the fastest of all. My knights had str 30 and i filled the other gear slots 1st until they got there.Īnd only the plate was left. and you lose quite a few tactical advantages.Ĭlick to expand.Not necessarly. farming honor up to 350, getting enough nobles to convert. There are a lot of things you can't do in just the 1st year proly. Won't have the renown to field a lot of troups or the quality (600+ prof) of a good CKO so you need to scale the diff. You can still beat the game in 1 year without CKO, with just a KO upgraded or just with Hero Adventurer and factional troups. I doubt all it's doable in 1 year even on the lowest difficulty. And there is no point in training them rly to just his default skills (~400 prof, 8 in ps/iron flesh/ridding), might as well join the phoenix or lion order.Īnd just improve those if you want the game to be faster. Without Qualis training them will take a lot of time with trainer 6. I think you miss a lot of fun from the mod if you rush the CKO.īut unlocking plate, horse and other noldor gear involves farming the uniques and them befriending them (without CKO done) up to 70 and killing the marauding Jatu army.Īlistair starts with 6 in trainer only and will get at most 1-2 lvls in 1 year. Barely doable in a year.Īnd if you want fast just join a KO and improve them. It takes about 3 months for noldor ancient plate to put on them, 2 more for the helmet, 3 more for spirit horse. Create your custom knight order as soon as you can, so you can build it up, but join an existing order, and do the quests for them. The one thing you shouldn't do is join your own order, because that automatically makes you the Grandmaster, and you lose out not only on the stronghold, which is bad enough, but also on three extremely useful NPCs, some special items unlocks, etc. You can create, train and then upgrade your custom knights and sergeants, and still progress in the quests of the order you, yourself have joined. There is no problem if you create a CKO before you finish the Knight Order Quest, as long as you do not join your order, at least in the last version. Originally posted by Esce:if you create a CKO before becoming Grandmaster of another KO you loose a nice building on the map.
