Black Desert Npc Knowledge Rank Bonus
Gaining knowledge increases your max energy on your account. It also gives bonuses, like being able to see how much health the enemy has, and some damage bonuses at higher ranks.
I've heard conflicting information that you can get better knowledge by just continuing to kill, or you have to reset it at some book in Calpheon (or reset it with an Elixir of Oblivion in the loyalties shop) and try again to get a better rank. I don't know which is true.
Any grade will increase my max energy? Or do i need S or some high grade?
I'm not sure.
...Man, I wish this game wasn't so vague with its information sometimes. I want to help people, but it's giving me nothing, lol.

You can also get the reset potions from the cash shop with 25 loyalty points. Most people park an alt character at the NPC though.

A higher rank does seem to affect loot drops and damage done.
Once you reach a rank with a monster, the only way to get another is to reset it. Killing the same mob won't improve the score. You can also get a worse rank than you had before, if you reset an A+ you can go down to a C.
I think it's a dumb system, but thats the basics of it.

As you earn any knowledge your max energy goes up. To reset monster knowledge at the Calpheon library it also costs you around 10 energy per monster.
Resetting monster knowledge basically means you are forgetting what you learned, so it can lower max energy till you kill them and learn it again.

I think he's asking if having Rank C knowledge will give less energy exp than having Rank S would.
Well any grade will increase max energy, I haven't noticed any difference with higher ranks myself.
Why would you reset knowledge if you lose the corresponding energy exp in the process? Or does the text of the item only refers to possible completion energy, and you always keep the exp itself?

I haven't noticed any XP loss but if you do it will only be a small amount. When you learn that monster knowledge again you get the energy and stuff back anyway.
You just get a new RNG shot at getting a better rank. Although, if you're anything like me you'll get rank C 95% of the time anyway, lol.
Oh. I through you just keep killing till it gets upgraded to Rank S.

That would be the logical way to do it. Sadly it doesn't work that way. I have killed thousands of the same mob, never got another rank after the first. I always had to reset.
