So, i'm bored a bit and i decided to make guide, maybe it helps to some poor knights (like me) out there 
Okey let's get started, this guide is for offensive non-casher knights who want to improve themselves in a 50-59 bracket before they go in 60+ carnage.
ATTENTION: Tactic requires at least 1 clothing piece, which is not hard to get with all those events.
ATTENTION 2: I didn't sort steps by relevance, it's only to make it easier.
1) Starting with equipment first, you should be saving socketing rods from the start for lvl 55 set, do all attempts in altar everyday to get them, you need 15 at least.
2) Gems, 1st slot patk, 2nd slot pdef, 3rd slot mdef, 4th slot (once you get legend trinkets/rings) put HP.
3) Slow leveling, very important! Do not finish missions, do not do high lvl campaigns or finish high lvl multiplayer dungeons, only exp you should be getting is from catacombs and thats it, you can easilly reach 80 devotion without getting any exp and 95 devotion daily is not that important as catacombs, with it you'll get enough to finish all your gems to lvl 5 and enough tokens for mount (6000 tokens) and for your legend trinkets/rings (4800 tokens, 1200 for each piece). Also slow leveling will give you enough time to max out your troop lvl (templars ofc).
4) World Boss, do i even need to mention it? Participate in them as much as you can since they are best way to get gold and daru.
5) Astrals and guild skills:
-Guild skills: Priority is Power, defence and hp and max them out asap.
-Astral: Patk, pdef, mdef, will destroyer and block, everyone can afford at least lvl 4 orange astrals. Later upgrade them or swap with red astrals if you are lucky enough to get one.
6) Skill tree: here is what i use at lvl 56.
Enough dmg to be effective in dungeons, world boss and pvp.
7) Road to legend trinkets and rings:
-Tokens needed from catacombs, try to reach lvl 100 catacombs as soon as possible, as a knight with lvl 5x troops you need like 38k br for it, so once you get like 35k br use all your potions, scrolls and runes to kill that big eye thingy.
-Legend stones, if your guild shop is not lvl 9 you'll need to work hard for them. Save all your skeleton keys don't waste them on mystery box, you'll need them for summoner in GoD NM who is activated with 5 keys and always drop at least 1 legend stone (2 if you're lucky). When you are 50-54 you can ask your guildies to kill bosses in god nm and invite you at summoner, where you'll find a team with similar number of skeleton keys and farm summoner. Once you're lvl 55+ with 35k+ br you can start finding team and do god nm but only killing 1st and 2nd boss (do not finish it or you'll get exp), you'll get equips from there so you can recycle them and refine stats on your equipment untill you don't get what you like.
8) PvP in group arena and battleground:
-Arena: Lots of insignia needed for medalions and crusader mount so, find team with similar level of yours, best bracket is 50-54 and 55-59. Tactic: ALWAYS start with slasher in every fight cuz it will give a turn adventage, and since knight skills are slow attacking first is very important, just hold slasher button while you're still on black screen. After that hit WW, ult slasher, holy seal (not only cuz of stun than cuz theres a chance you'll hit backrow target), and then hitting ult slasher and slasher eventually pop up shield if needed.
-Battleground: As lvl 50-54 you should only gathering those blue stones, if someone attack you use holy seal + ult slasher and ww when you can to make some dmg and be annoying, if they lose too much hp on you and get low honor from killing they won't bother to attack you. Once you hit 55-59 you can start fighting, if you're still elite warrior it's not that scarry cuz you won't lose any honor for death, once you get crusader get out of bg untill you have like 36k br. Worst rank to be is crusader and knight crusader cuz you get lowest honor for win but when you die from lower rank you lose like you're imperial commander and thats rly frustrating. Once you get 36k+ br you can start fighting, the key is chasing lower levels, 30k br or below, and run from mages like there is devil chasing you with unlubed trident (if they have lvl 45 set you can attack them, otherwise, run). Tactic: Rush to guards and kill them for some free honor and star points. If you're fighting a lot weaker than you, start with slasher to buy a turn and then pop up shield, that will stop them damaging you and also heal you if you block their dmg, when it's last turn of shield attack with holy seal and stun them to prevent even more dmg, that way i finish rounds against weaker than me with more hp than i started fight. If you fight people with similar br to you (you'll realize if their troop lvl is 50+) Start with slasher and then WW, and spam ult slaser and slasher, the key is to kill their troops before they kill yours while you're gathering rage from slasher. Once their troops down and there is 50% more dmg, use delphic destroyer and kick them out of combat, after that use star points to regain hp, if you don't have them leave bg and reenter in 5 min. IMPORTANT: In last 7 mins of battle stay in base, otherwise there is high risk to get dryad bombed and lose your lovely honor.
9) Runes:
Be on for tank trials as much as possible for runes and runestones. For arena use Brutality rune and blood rune, for battleground use hp and brutality.
Hope this guide will help someone out
