Would you guys be able to let me know what are the benefits of rebirth and what are the cons of not-rebirth character?
I am currently using a Knight and my goal is to create a Lord Knight, but I heard that in order for me to become a LN I need to reborn my character. I also heard that I can skip the reborn steps and go straight for the Rune Knight class. If I do this will I loose out on any stats/skills? If so please let me know what the pros and cons are for a non-reborn character. Thank you.

All classes get 25% more hp and SP if they rebirth first. This is a BIG DEAL for both RK and RG, as both are tanking characters with skills that directly depend on max or current hp.

You also need the skills from trans to be useful:

RK:
Spear Dynamo - Spammable endure, and a very large hit bonus in one skill.
Clashing Spiral - Godly leveling skill well into third job.
Frenzy - Good to have.
Aura Blade, Parrying, good if you want to end up as a sword build.

RG:
Rapid smiting - this actually does good damage now.
Gloria Domini is a Good Skill.
Some people like getting BC as well.
Moreover, Crusader/Paladin need every skill point they can get. The second job skill tree for sader/pally forces you to make hard choices about where to put your skills. The skill tree for knight/LK on the other hand only has you make easy choices.

There are no cons to transing first, nor pros to non-trans, other than that they're faster to make - but leveling below level 99 isn't hard anymore, most of the time is in 100-150, not 1-99-1-99.

Do you mind telling me what RG stand for?

[DrAzzy]

Royal Guard, the third job paladin.

Sader -> Pally -> RG
Knight -> LK -> RK

[DieNasty]

Thank you for clearing that up. I really like your advice. Do you mind if I ask you more?
I planned on building a pure AGI/CRI LK/RK, but was told that this build sucks. Would you point me to a link or let me know which built is best for killing monsters?

Thanks again.

Just 99d an LK and i have to say bowling bash for mobbing and clashing spiral for single monsters = fast levelling. If you are going to kill monsters singly then one shot them with clashing - dun waste time meleeing them.

On my RK i did pure dex/int/vit, and just spiral'ed everything with kingbird hunting spear and rideword hat. 1-shot stuff 10 levels higher from when you get CS to 115 or so, by which time you'll have a third job AoE you can use.

You need only 1 reason: Clashing Spiral.
