Before you set out.

A free KalOnline server. The classic world returns with reworked skills, new quests, weather, a day and night cycle, mounts and companions.

Yes. Donations are optional and give nothing in the game.

Create an account, sign in and download Kaiko for Windows. Open it and press Play. The first time, you confirm your account in your browser.

They're on the Server page.

Level 110.

You get both when you register, and again in your welcome email. You need the PIN to log in. Keep both private.

Use “Forgot password” on the sign-in page and we’ll email you a link to set a new one.

Never. Anyone who asks is not from Kaiko.

Yes, the built-in Auto Hunt (F7) is allowed. Outside programs that play for you are not.

Only in a duel you accept, or if an Assassin attacks you. Players become Assassins by using a mask, and their names show in red. Towns are always safe, and safe areas protect everyone who isn’t an Assassin.

Below level 30, nothing. From level 30 you lose a small part of a level’s experience, a little more if you die often. You keep your items.

No. Some places need a minimum level, and you can’t teleport while you’re on a caravan.

Trade contracts: you carry goods along the roads to another town, up to 4 a day. Some routes are riskier than others. Players close to your level can escort you, and on the way you may be attacked by other players who hide their names behind masks.

Rain makes monsters take more lightning damage, snow more ice damage and hot days more fire damage. Blossom lowers their defence.

Press F1. It records the monsters you’ve found, where they live and what they drop, and it holds your daily missions and the Kaiko Shop.

You earn them by playing: 1 Mark for your first login each day, 3 more for every 7-day streak, 3 once you finish all of the day's Daily Board missions, and one for every 2 hours you play (up to 2 a day). Spend them in the Kaiko Shop (F1) on looks, pets, mounts, a night light or Premium.

30 days of Premium cost 90 Kaiko Marks. You get one extra bag page (36 slots) and 1 extra Kaiko Mark for each Daily Board mission you finish.

No. Kaiko Marks are only earned in the game.

Kaiko costs around $260 a month to keep running: hosting, infrastructure and development services.

No. Donations will never grant power, progression or ranking advantages in the game.

Yes. It checks your game files after each update. Leave it open; the bar shows each step.

Download the installer again from the Download page and run it.

Restore it from your antivirus quarantine, then open Kaiko again so it can repair itself.

Yes, after a crash, the next time you open the launcher. They hold technical details and the game log, never your password. You can turn them off in Settings (the gear icon).

On our Discord.

In the launcher news after each update.
