How To Create A TechKnight

Applications for new AR/Dev TechKnights are always welcome!

We are not currently accepting applications for non-Blaster TechKnights.

Prospective members that feel they have a compelling reason to play a different Archetype or Power Set should contact the TechKnight leadership with their proposal.

The specific process of creating a TK is shown below. Please review this process before starting the game, so you are familiar with the available choices.

For Origin, Architype, Primary and Secondary Power Sets, please see the links in the process described below.

1. Start the COH game
   (Currently under revision to suit new client.)
2. Pick a server.

   Currently, the only active TechKnight Chapter House is on Excelsior. (If you'd like to start a Chapter House on a different server, please start a discussion thread on the mailing list.

3. Pick an Archetype. (See TK Power Sets.)

   Preferred: Blaster

4. Pick an Origin. (See TK Origins.)

   Preferred: Technology

5. Pick a Primary and Secondary Power Set. (See TK Power Sets.)

6. Costume:

   You can skip this step by downloading the costume file, putting it in your <City of Heroes>/costume directory, and loading the file in the cosume generator.
