- Tiger, FangBlade, and many other Dark Knights are considered to be some of the most iconic players in MapleStory's history. To this day, we still see some of the most respected players maining this class. So, why is that the case? Today, we take a look at Dark Knight and the impact it had on MapleStory's playerbase from the game's original beta release in September 2004 all the way up until the Big Bang update in December 2010.

WAKE UP EVERYONE, NEW TOGAIN VIDEO JUST DROPPED
IM AWAKE IM AWAKE IM AWAKE!
As someone that played a lot of Pre Big bang and until now , Dark Knight for GMS is huge for us :
- Back then when I was a bishop main , when I train on himes or galloperras or Skeles , I always train with a friend who was a Drk. Most of my friends back then were Dark Knights , which is funny so I can train whenever one of them was online.
- Not only that , they were needed for boss runs since Hyper Body is needed for you not to get one shot or lose your life on a stupid way. Before we have "life counts" , back then you only have "1 life" and bishop will only revive the DPS
- We transition this into the "Big bang era" , and Dark Knights got the aesthetics change as like if you were 120 , your aura was red and when you were 150 it change to purple. At that moment Dark Knights still have dragon theme
- Then Dark Knights got buffed with "Dark Impale" during the Jump patch and while they were not a power house , they were a very solid class
- Later on Dark knight will lose all its "dragon theme" and get replace with "berserker theme" as like a class that "has to tank or take damage" and that can endure a lot. This was reinforced with " final Pact" that gives you cooldown , and they give the "beholder" its own theme and gimmick.
- Dark knights at that time on 2014-2015 were one of the most solid class of the game because of the skill "Cross Surge" , and the skill sacrifice was used for you to be able to spam gungnir , so buff duration and more was needed to keep its up time + having a longer pact
- Then on the Destiny Patch , Dark Knights was one of the winners since pact became a toggle and you can choose the duration of final pact. Not only that , gungnir could be now spam , it improved upon their 5th job , and it became this "middle ground class" that can deal solid damage and have good survival
- Here on GMS , our first lvl 200 was a Dark Knight and it actually inspired many people to pick up the class. Even on 2024 , many people pick it up because of FangBlade or because they like how the class is.
Every time you pop up on my TH-cam home page my heart rate jumps for a second and then i click on it and i just feel euphoria cause I know I'm in for quality shit.
I can't explain the amounts of nostalgia I feel when watching these videos
Man is pumpin out feature length videos on a regular basis jesus
Your videos legit make me cry. I was only a child playing maple, and this game made me the person I am today basically. I still remember the day they closed BMS, I’ve never found a game that could make me feel like home the way OSMS did.
Your videos allow me to taste a bit of my childhood back. Thank you so much for the hard work.
So the game made you a greedy gambler who only cares about profit??? 😂
@@Xhalonick A game dev enthusiast looking to recreate the feelings i just described one day in one of my projects, but with a tiny bit of what you just said also 😂
When the thumbnail is FangBlade and not Tiger
Just discovered ya, what an awesome channel. Recently I’ve been trying to remember random details back when I first played GMS and back when I started making maple story animations. I love the effort you’re putting into archiving and preserving the best era of Maple’s history. Thank you and great work :D
the goat
THE FKNNN GOAT!!!!!
I'm like 99% sure slash blast hit all targets not just 6 in the old days. Somewhere along the line they nerfed it to just 6 targets. It's why all of the hackers were warriors. I know this because I am actually that old and played back then. No warrior maxed Final attack either seeing as it would actually cause a forced animation preventing you from doing anything and slowing your next skill attack. The only warrior that would consider Final attack was a crusader because he was single target anyways and I believe it helped build combo points I think? A to be Crusader would save all of his final attack points till he hit 70 before dumping into it. As for helmets most warriors used dex bamboo hats and tried to scroll the cheap 10% scrolls often obtained from KPQ to apply +accuracy to the helmets. A lucky young warrior could end up with a dex bamboo hat with like +10 accuracy. Between this accuracy scrolling bamboo hat and a blue chainmail scrolled for dex/accuracy warrior would carry around an attack glove and a dex accuracy glove depending on what they want to fight. Sniper pills too.
so grateful you list all your music sources, i heard tekken tag 2 music and nearly had a panic attack trying to remember where it was from
Even tho I haven't touched MS in like 15 years.. these videos are such a joy to watch
Pig Illustrated > Fish Spear dont @ me

Excuse you
Frozen tuna >>
These videos are masterfully done. I played back when they were first going to add Pirates and haven’t played Maple since Phantom came out, so seeing MS in this style again hits home. Thank you for these videos!
This is honestly my favorite video series on TH-cam, thank you :3
Just finished watching the Bishop and Night Lord videos the other day and was itching for more. Can't wipe the smile off my face and I haven't even watched the video yet. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into researching and editing these videos.
Holy, the summon night swordcraft story bgm. Yet another banger milord.
WE EATIN GOOD TODAY BOIS
these are very fun to watch but also very informative. very dedicated old school mapler, I only mained hermit for the most part so there's a lot of things i'm learning just now about other classes. thank you
Thank you for the amazing video! Keep going!
I did not want to go into work today, but now work is a lot more bearable with a new Togain video WOO
Loving this series! would love to see a Chief Bandit video, I used to main them back in Oldschool Maple!
Your music selection is top notch mate
You forgot to mention an important context of SP and AP scrolls costing real money. This is the sole reason why it's important to go low/no dex and hybrid build so you don't brick your F2P character and have to start all over again. Games nowadays have free reset or costing in-game currency so the weight of choices is vastly different back in the day.
Anyway, GJ on covering the stabbing and swinging mechanic. IMO it's the most interesting thing about Drk.
these videos are impeccably researched and professionally crafted. great, great stuff. easily the most comprehensive, high-quality maplestory content on the platform.
Its insane how good of a videos you make, Thank you so much!
before I start watching I just want to say these videos are a complete joy to watch. takes me RIGHT back to 2004. I know these videos must take an incredibly long time to research, record and edit. Thank you so much!!! MapleClassic please!!!!!
Final attack increasing DPS for spearmen is debatable; because of the quirk spears and polearms have with animations, and the unequal distribution of animations can result in a DPS loss with one of the two weapon types. I can't recall which of the two weapon types it was though.
Final Attack was a DPS decrease when using Slash Blast, and a DPS increase when using power strike on all warrior weapons. It was terrible for Spearmen though as your 3rd job skills could not proc Final Attack, making the skill a complete waste of SP past level 70.
The difference between stabbing and chopping did not matter for Final Attack. It did however matter for your 3rd job skills. Dragon Knights got a mobbing skill that was always a chop and a bossing skill that was always a stab. A pole arm Dragon Knight would do less DPS to bosses because pole arms were worse at stabbing than spears.
Great quality video as always!
Dark Knight has been my main ever since I played Maple way back in the days. I love the class! I like their long range melee attacks compared to sword and blunt weapon as well as being able to wield both spear and polearm. I wish we got to keep the Dragon Knight theme in 3rd job.
I remember Drk was on the top spots in DPS chart with the use of Sacrifice and Berserk.
I had many Dragon/Dark Knight friends back in the day and honestly I've always despised that the class was so much better and over played back then. The amount of times I would finally find a bossing or training party and hear the dreaded "Kick the Paladin" because a Dark Knight showed up hurt... and I heard it often.
That said, this was a VERY impressive analysis of the class at that period of time. Incredible work as always.
Thank you again man, great video
Love your series about old MS. Keep up the good work
Awesome video! More please 🙏
Hell yeah, amazing work as usual. You're really shaping up to be the GOAT of MapleStory content creation and I'm here for it. I even started playing an OSMS private server because of you and have been loving it.
Where do we go from here though? At this point I'm anticipating a full breakdown of the big bang update, maybe a look at the history of power creep in MS?
i been waiting on this video. thank you!
Another great osms video. Thanks for the memories!
Love the videos, Great work.
Could you ever do a video and on the lore and story of Maplestory?
I should be working.
But instead I'm watching an hour long deep dive into a class in Maplestory,
a game I played for maybe a month 20 years ago.
Keep it up Togain! Keep giving me an excuse not to file the other 43 forms I need to file today.
Another excellent video, you're one of the best TH-camrs that I've discovered this year :)
love learning about oldschool maplestory through you
Very cool video! Also to mention, Luk was actually really useful for warriors as well, as it gave .5 accuracy per Luk.
such high quality content, thank you pro
I've been waiting for this one, let's go!!!!!!! Thanks Togain
Always a joy when you upload
It's always a good day when i catch your uploads!
imo the Lv80 warrior gear is some of the most memorable and good looking items in Maplestory's entire history and I never even mained the classes. Similar to Ludi's theming it just has a certain charm that almost no other game had managed to achieve.
These videos are the best! I realy like your content! Keep it up my friend :D
I randomly stumbled on this channel, but, I love these looks back at OSMS.
A Togain video a day keeps my brain happy at work all day
>Dork knights' turn finally
MOM, GET THE CAMERA.
this was amazing, ty.
Another banger dude. Subbing for more, your quality is top notch.
I can't wait for the video on the best most popular classes, white knight and sniper!
Love your videos, hopefully we get an old school official server. Nostalgia is unmatched here.
Another absolute banger long-form video injecting nostalgia straight into my bloodstream
I love your vids, i wish you would make a big bang one since im looking for a good vid on it and you are th best
dude seriously how do you pump out such high quality content so quickly
Bro the FlyFF Music is Nostalgic AS FUCK as well. Such a great Era for MMO's! Makes me warm and fuzzy inside thinking about the past simpler times before the world was crazy af, and also a bit sad too because those times can never come back or be replicated. The worst part of growing up is not being able to find stuff you used to enjoy, enjoyable anymore because of how much more complex your brain is and how much more input you need in order to be entertained because of how overstimulated we are now a days. Such is life I guess though :/ Much peace and love to you brotha
I just love your videos so fucking much, you do such an amazing work, thank you so much!
Blessed. Togain continually giving us the content we need
I was waiting for this!
one thing i noticed you didn't directlymention, which is so silly to think about nowadays but was so MASSIVE back then, was just how freaking HUGE the dragon knight attack range was. Fury had more range than some first and second job magician skills, it was insane. and helped so much in the training. dragon/dark knights were weirdly one of the more complicated classes skill-build wise. some people even recommended going 1 point in spear fury because it had longer range than crusher and a faster animation, so it was useful in certain scenarios to aggro monsters further away into your crusher range.
the Dex thing was also very interesting, as mentioned we never really needed it, only the byproduct of accuracy it could grant, so your level of funding determined how much base dex you'd have since you wouldn't be able to afford all the accuracy scrolls and whatnot... but then post big bang we got 130 and 140 gear which demanded dex since they had the absolute best in slot weapons, and in such quantities that most people actually started adding dex, until a certain method was discovered to allow you to "cheat" the dex.
man, seeing good ol' chickenpoodl videos again almost brought a tear to my eye. one of the truly great OG's along with others like Daniel3B, the original holder of the basilmarket spearman guide who helped cement the hybrid build as THE right choice. all in all, so much nostalgia for a simpler time.
honestly, thank you very much for this video. you have no idea how happy it makes me to revisit all this.
My day gets better when togain uploads
Maaaaaan, this series is so rad, I miss the glory days of being 12 and having no clue about any of the major dynamics of each class and just picking what was cool.
Id LOVE a retrospective on the pirate class, because even though it was a late addition, it was the first major class added to the game and I think represents when it started to shift from OSMS into the Big Bang era. Corsairs and Buccs were so different from anything else, but not necessarily better - mechanically OR technically.
I have to stop consuming nostalgic maplestory content.. the urge to play is getting stronger, but I know it’s a trap. Great video, as always.
You'll play for a couple weeks then realize that this game is a relic of the past, even with improved rates
I am so happy these are coming out as frequently as they are.
Do you think we'll ever get into classes beyond the "explorers" and how they impacted the game, either good or bad? I played that era as a kid and I'd love to know what was actually going on lol.
Here waiting for MapleWorlds Global. Thanks for the video and the memories. :)
yet another masterpiece, thank you goat
The best oldschool maplestory content in the internet for sure !❤🎉😊
We grabbing popcorn with this one 👌
THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO I'M SPENDING THE ENTIRE DAY WATCHING
We do not deserve the amount of effort that this man puts into these long form vids. Kudos once again Togain
Togain lore master blessing on a wednesday. Its a good day
The last time I got this excited for a new maplestory series was a Dray86 vid
I dont know much about current maplestory but I watch all of Togain's OSMS videos
I remember how we noob players rely so badly on Dark Knight’s Dragon Roar in Henesys Hunting Ground. That’s my fondest memory about Dark Knight. Free loots were the best LOL 😂
Great Video
Niiiiice!!
PD: Still waiting for your blaster vids :D
YESSSSS! NEW VIDEO!! LETS GOOOOOOOO
this was probably the most awaited
I've never played Maplestory, but I do enjoy these videos.
I was chasing Korwyn's spot as Broa's top DrK for a bit, what a time to be alive
I MISSED OLD MS, I WAS ONE OF THE OG DK MAIN. Back then dragon roar was one of the coolest AOE 😢
I would love a video like these on Paladins or Bandits or lesser used range classes. I feel like I never really knew what they were about and still dont cuz they were less popular and uncovvered back then
Togain uploads, I click and like. LETS GO!
Berserk: play under 40% HP to deal 100% more damage
Me maining DA in current maple: 👁👄👁
overall str/int/luk scrolls were added with the omega sector update
Way back then, I was one of the top 10 highest leveled Dark Knights in Mardia. I also had base 100 DEX. Ah, to be young and stupid.
Another 1 hour video about ogms LESGOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i have never played ms but i still love the videos
IT'S TOGAIN TIME LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The red snowboard wasn't the best to use, the moment NLC released crimson wood keep, the crimson arcglaive was way superior due to normal atk speed and a 102 base atk and also included with the +5 speed buff. It wasn't easy to get which meant a huge grind in a cwk, but eventually to have the BiS pole arm it was worth it.
lets go! new Video
Ty
babe wake up new togain
So, tons of people commenting on the nostalgia and how much we miss this. Is anyone scratching the itch with one of the osms private servers or are we all just committing the good old days to memory? Just curious cause if everyone was having a blast in osms still I wanna know 😆
Did watch yet but gotta show love to the dark knights
Time to relive my childhood once again
Togain quickly became everyone's favorite maple story youtuber
man i miss OSMS
god damn every time i watch one of these i miss old school maple story
Yayyyy new video
