Hi, just tried playing for a few days and can't figure out how to get enough XP for the temporary runners that I get from Los V. After one leaves I hire again but keep getting a different runner. When I hire a mercenary for a day it says I need 10 XP for the runner to be recruited. How is that possible for one day rental? Please help. Thank you.

There are mercenaries. You get them from ganger HQ.
There are runners. You get them from VIP rooms of factions.
There are allies. You make them out of runners.
It is also possible to make a mercenary into a runner .... this seems to be what you are doing. Having made the mercenary into a runner you have to get to ANY VIP lounge, look at your network, and try to 'locate runner'. Then you can rehire the same one you made out a mercenary -- or any you have hired from any VIP lounge.
Hope this makes sense, write back if it is not working.
Best of luck.

Yes. Thank you.
Also, can I spend the XP points to train the runners and still qualify to convert them, or do I have to save 50 XP to convert them? Thanks again!

You and the runner both need 15 xp free and available when you convert and you will spend it on conversion.

The 50 points they need before they can convert can include 15 unspent which they can then use, or if you put all the 50 points into their XP you will need to get an additional 15 XP for them.

If an ally dies do you lose him? Seems an awful lot of work to turn a runner into an ally if he goes when killed... especially since they start so weak.

Hi all,
I just picked up CK Elite a few days ago and can't put it down. This genre is a personal favorite and this title really hits it out of the park ;D
I'm playing the Made, Not Born storyline as a CyberSword and now that I'm out and about in NBZ, I've decided that I need a partner after some unlucky run-ins with Predator Drones...
So far, after checking the VIP lounges in Fennian and BraveStar territories, I've only been offered fellow CyberSword runners. I'd like to get a Gunslinger or Sniper as backup.
Is this random and I should keep checking back with them, or are the ranged combat specialists only available from certain factions?
Thanks in advance!

Different groups offer different runners.

strega15 - each Faction and even each PersonaFixer offers a different Runner. There is a data file floating around that you can loot from battles that explains who is hiring what from which Faction's backrooms. Otherwise, try some other factions, or try other Persona Fixers within the same faction. There are a lot of different Runners out there already! Welcome to the forum and we are really glad you are enjoying Cyber Knights!

I tried BraveStar again and was offered the services of a Hacker and after getting a Face offer from the Yakuza, I finally landed my Gunslinger  Next up is upgrading my 2-job comp to a 4-job one so I can more efficiently build up rep and train my future ally. Thank you Swarmi and Fallen for the replies! |
