The next Knight after {{MonsterIcon|Steel Knight|Steel}} is {{MonsterIcon|Black Knight|Black}}, but should skip it, as the drop chances are very low, and the next tier is not much harder anyway.
The next Knight after {{MonsterIcon|Steel Knight|Steel}} is {{MonsterIcon|Black Knight|Black}}, but should skip it, as the drop chances are very low, and the next tier is not much harder anyway.


Your next step, therefore, is {{MonsterIcon|Mithril Knight|Mithril Knights}}. Because they only drop gear a quarter of the time when killed (on average), it can take quite a while to get a full {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platebody|mithril set}}. You will probably get {{ItemIcon|Mithril Boots|boots}} (25 in 268) and {{ItemIcon|Mithril Helmet|helmets}} (15 in 268) quite often, and the eventual {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platelegs|platelegs}} (5 in 268). The {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platebody|platebody} has quite a low drop-chance (1 in 568). This is quite the trend on these knights. Before getting the {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platebody|platebody}} you will probably get both a {{ItemIcon|Mithril Scimitar|scimitar}} (1 in 67) and a {{ItemIcon|Mithril Shield|shield}} (5/134), too, so equip these once dropped, for a decent upgrade. You may equip the {{ItemIcon|Mithril Sword|sword}}, too, but I’d stick with the {{ItemIcon|Mithril Scimitar|Scimitar}} for now, to efficiently level up your {{Skill|Strength}} skill before practically perma-equipping the {{ItemIcon|Ice Sword}} for a long while.

As mentioned, you will want to get the {{ItemIcon|Ice Sword}} after getting full {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platebody|Mithril armor}}, or even before getting the {{ItemIcon|Mithril Platebody|platebody}}, as it is a really good upgrade at this point. It is practically a cold {{ItemIcon|Rune Sword}}, in stats, except it is slightly better defensively than offensively. The drop rate is 10% at the {{MonsterIcon|Ice Monster}} over at the {{ZoneIcon|Icy Hills}}. Huge. If you’re around level 30, you will use around 80 {{ItemIcon|Potatoes|tarters}} per monster. Because of variance, you might get it on your first kill or your 20th, but don’t be discouraged. Also, the {{ItemIcon|Ice Sword}} is better at grinding {{Skill|Strength}} than all weapons from a lower tier, meaning that the next best strength weapon after.
