[[File:TKparty.png]] Welcome to Ranked Taekwon Kid!
Practitioners of the art of TaeKwon-Do, Taekwon Kid is a unique class themed around unarmed combat, utilizing their own physical bodies to perform devastatingly powerful physical kick attacks.

Ranked Taekwon: Those who have the endurance to rank with Taekwon Mission, can become one of the elite top 10: The Ranked Taekwon. To join the rankings, you must be a Taekwon Boy or Girl (First Class) and you must be in the top ten with the highest rank points, gained by killing 100x of a monster given by the skill Taekwon Mission. The more points you get, the higher you climb in the list.

Combo Fighters: Like Monks, Taekwon Kids can use kicks in tandem with "stances", which are statuses that activate at either 15% or 20% chance. Using the kick corresponding to the stance gives an additional damage bonus and other status inflictions. Unlike Monks, Taekwon Kids use the right kick within seconds of the stance activating to reap the benefits of the kicks. Ranked Taekwons can chain kick skills in an infinite chain once a kick skill has been used

Elemental Prowess : Mild Wind lets Taekwon Kids change the element of their attacks. This is a simple but potent skill, as a Taekwon can change their element into any element in the game at the touch of a button.

Mechanically Unusual Class: The Taekwon Kid has a mechanic where the majority of their special attacks are only usable at random from auto attack based hits. A prompt comes up in auto attack battles allowing them to use kicks for active stances. The random chance allows them to dish out some large amounts of damage. It is the also the only class to have a skill dedicated to giving missions to complete in order to gain ranking on a server.

Ranked Taekwon Kid Bonuses
Why should you spend countless hours killing mobs to make the top 10 list you ask? To be envied for 3 incredible bonuses at base lvl 90: You can check out your server's current ranked Taekwon List using the command.
 * All Taekwon Skills are unlocked at max levels
 * All kick skills can be spammed in an infinite chain
 * 3x HP/SP Modifier

When Should I begin ranking?
You should begin ranking when you are around Job 39/40 with these skills:

Leveling Up
Leveling up as a Taekwon Kid can be a challenge in later stages as EXP is a bit harder to come by for a class that wears no weapon. The lack of a weapon reduces your overall Attack. Outside of the obvious leech, these typical leveling spots will do:
 * Level 20 and below: Payon dungeon 1
 * Level 20~60: Moscovia dungeon 1
 * Level 60+: Any maps with mobs selected to rank on. At this point, you should already be ranking.

The leveling can be slow, but if you're playing on a well established server, chances are, you have a long way to go to make the top 10, so you might as well level while you rank. Leveling up will be easier or harder depending on your server's features. Servers with a healer and warper make leveling/ranking much easier than those without a healer and/or warper.

OK, I’m Ready to Rank!
The fastest way to rank is to utilize the bonus attack gained when using Flying Side Kick while Running. The power of that gets stronger as your Base Level increases. Use the skill Taekwon Mission to get your first mob mission. In order to move on, you must kill the selected mob 100 times. You will gain [1] point in the rankings when completed. If you are given a mob that is undesirable to kill, you can spam Taekwon Mission endlessly with a 1% chance to be granted a new target. Remember, once you kill 1 of the mission mobs granted, you must complete the mission to move on to the next mission.

Choose missions wisely.

Ranking Tips
Be smart about what mobs you choose to rank on. Rank mobs are chosen at random. There’s a 1% chance to reset the rank mob given when using the skill Taekwon Mission, so if it’s a bad mob, spam until you get a good one! Never choose mobs:


 * with HP above 5500
 * with DEF over 20
 * with no elemental weaknesses and/or which are “formless”
 * too deep in dungeon levels (unless your server can warp you to direct floors)
 * on maps with fewer than 30 mission mobs to kill

''Definitely:


 * Create a slave bard on another account for Poem of Bragi and Assassin Cross of Sunset (Pre-Renewal). This speeds up Taekwon Mission spams dramatically.
 * Use Fly wings or Refined/Infinite Fly wing.
 * Be careful. Event mobs or custom server mobs are usually included. Always check Taekwon Mission to verify kills.
 * Equip DEX/cast reduction gear when mission spamming.
