Knight Online premium features: which one gives what?

2026-09-13 4 min read
Short answer

There are seven premium types and the real difference between them is the EXP rate. Bronze gives 20%, Gold and DC 30%, War 100%. Platinum and EXP Premium give 400% from 1 to 50; above 50 Platinum drops to 100% while EXP Premium steps down (300%, 200%, 120%). Because both cost the same KC, on a character above 50 EXP Premium brings more EXP.

Premium types and the EXP they give

Premium EXP boost Noah boost Notable gift
Bronze 20% (all levels) 50% repair discount
Gold 30% (all levels) Extra Noah on level up 800 bonus + Trina
DC 30% (1-83) 100% Trina, 50% repair discount
War 100% (1-83) 30% Free skill/stat reset
Platinum 1-50 400% · 51-83 100% 100% 800 bonus + Trina
EXP 1-50 400% · 51-60 300% · 61-70 200% · 71-83 120% 100% Golden fishing rod, Trina
Switching All three of EXP, DC and War by the one selected Switch between them at will

The rates were compared across three separate sources and the values that agreed were written down. The EXP loss on death was left out of the table because the sources contradict each other — it's certain that all of them reduce it, the number is disputed.

The real decision: EXP or Platinum

Both premiums sell for the same KC price: 2796 KC. But what they give isn't the same.

Up to level 50 both give 400%, so at low level there's no difference. Above 50 the roads part: Platinum stays at a flat 100% while EXP Premium gives 300% from 51-60, 200% from 61-70, 120% from 71-83. So on a character above 50, for the same money, EXP Premium brings more EXP.

What Platinum gives in return is 800 bonus and Trina. EXP Premium gives Trina too, and adds a golden fishing rod. The decision gets simple: if your character is above 50 and the goal is leveling, EXP Premium; if it's collecting bonus, Platinum.

Which premium suits whom

If you want to level

Below 50, Platinum and EXP Premium are equal, both give 400%; there's no "buy the cheaper one", they're the same price. Above 50 EXP Premium is clearly ahead.

If the budget is tight, War Premium gives a flat 100% from 1-83 and is cheaper. Bronze's 20% and Gold's 30% don't make a noticeable difference in leveling speed; those two aren't bought for EXP.

If you farm

The column to look at is the Noah boost. DC, Platinum and EXP Premium give 100% — so the money per monster doubles. War stays at 30%.

On top come the rise in item drop rate and NPC sale price. To measure premium's real effect on farm income with your own hourly earnings, use the math on the does premium pay for itself page.

If you're PK and war focused

War Premium is built for this: it has the highest NP boost per kill, and with War Flash you can grow that boost further. It also gives a free skill and stat reset right — for someone who keeps changing builds that's a serious item on its own, because the reset fee is 79.5 million coins at level 83.

If you can't decide which to buy, Switching Premium gives all three and lets you switch between them. It's the most expensive, but it's the only solution for someone who wants DC on farm days and War on war days.

What to know before buying

  • What all premium types share is priority login when the server is full; for someone who wants to get in without queuing at busy hours that alone can be the reason.
  • Some premiums activate directly while others land in the in-game mailbox and have to be opened by hand.
  • Some types can't be bought with bonus NP; you may have to pay with cash.
  • The EXP boost works as a multiplier, so you feel the difference more in a zone where you already get fast EXP.
  • Premium's return depends on what you do. If you only PK, the Noah and drop boost does nothing for you; if you farm, that's where the real gain is.
  • More than one premium doesn't run at the same time. Apart from Switching there's no moving from one to another.
The EXP and Noah rates here were compared across three separate sources and the values that agreed were written down; contradicting values were left out of the table. KC prices come from the same source as the list in the site's [PUS calculator](/en/pus-calculator). This site doesn't sell premium.

Frequently asked

Seven: Bronze, Gold, DC, War, EXP, Platinum and Switching. The basic difference between them is the EXP rate and Noah boost they give; gifts and extra rights also vary by type.

Up to level 50 Platinum and EXP Premium are equal, both give 400%. Above 50 EXP Premium is ahead: 300% from 51-60, 200% from 61-70, 120% from 71-83 while Platinum stays at a flat 100%. Both cost the same KC.

Gold gives 30% EXP while Bronze gives 20%. Gold also brings an 800 bonus and Trina gift, and gives extra Noah as you level. Bronze's strong point is its price and the 50% discount on item repair.

The types with a 100% Noah boost: DC, Platinum and EXP Premium. War stays at 30% so it isn't farm focused. On top come the rise in item drop rate and NPC sale price.

It gives all three of EXP, DC and War premiums and lets you switch between them. It makes sense for someone who wants DC on farm days and War on war days; it's also the most expensive type.

It gives a flat 100% EXP from 1-83, has the highest NP boost per kill among the types and includes a free skill/stat reset right. Considering the reset fee is 79.5 million coins at level 83, that right alone is a significant item.

Depends on what you do. If you farm, the Noah and drop boost shows straight in income, so above a certain number of daily farm hours it pays for itself. On a character that only PKs those items have no return. To work it out with your own hourly earnings use the premium payback tool.
