Overview

Acolytes who are successful in honing their spiritual powers and enhancing their contracts with the divine are promoted to Priests. Priests have an enhanced repertoire of divine spells that improves their allies or their own abilities to fight and banish the evils with exorcism spells. Priests are an essential support class to any venturing party, once the Priest dies, the rest may more or less follow.

Priests are one of the few classes who will be using numerous skills in battle, and must be flexible in any situation, advancing from acolytes it is easier for them to support larger parties but this would still drain the spiritual energy of the Priest. Having more spells to cast, it is up to the Priest which to prioritize first, with a main goal to keep the party up and going. Priest roles can range from going Full Support, or going all out with exorcising the Demons and Undead or just be a self sufficient killing machine. The support role however is always a part of the priest whichever path the priest would decide upon.

Priests have an access to use books as a weapon, but more or less Priests would still stick to using either a Rod/Staff or a Mace. INT is still one of the most important stats to have a large SP pool and better SP recovery rates to keep using spells. STR will be the option for priest who would prefer to wield Maces in battle and do the killing themselves.

Job Change

Requirement: Acolyte Job level 40 (50 is recommended due to the numerous skills of the Acolyte Class)

Head to the Prontera Church, enter the left portal and go to the end of the hall to speak with Bishop Paul (prt_church 16, 41). After confirming your decision to become a Priest He will instruct you to do 3 main tasks:

1) First will be to talk to all 3 Ascetics this time (From the Acolyte Job Quest) in a sequence given, else they will refuse your visit. But if you are Job 50 this part of the quest will be skipped and you will proceed with the 2nd part.

Mother Mathilda - warp to the the the town of Morroc and move to the north portal, she is located at the northwest corner (moc_fild07 41, 355).

Father Yosuke - you can warp to the City of Geffen then move 2 maps east or from Prontera go to the west portal, go north (either portal will do) and enter the west portal. He is located near the center of the map by the pond (prt_fild00 208, 218).

Father Rubalkabara - from Prontera go to the east portal, then head north, then east. This map has a miniboss Choco, you might die if caught unguarded. He is located close to the east portal on the map. (prt_fild03 365, 255)

2) Next Paul will direct you to the test room, you will be greeted by Peter S. Alberto, you will need to wait for a minute before you can formally speak to him, he will ask if you are ready to enter the room where your faith will be tested, a Priest can accompany you if the Priest has a rosary in the inventory. In the first room you will be killing zombies within a time limit, all must be killed in order to proceed. Next you will be greeted by various Demon monster NPCs who will tempt you into not changing your job, the response would always be to resist their offers, but if you do accept their offers you will be warped elsewhere and will have to redo the test from the first part. The last room will be full of mummies, but there is no need to kill any, just run past them and enter the portal.

3) Paul will congratulate you then instruct you to talk with Sister Cecilia for your oath taking into Priesthood. Recite the oaths bearing in mind the teachings of the church, a mistake will prompt to you redoing the oath. once you are done go back to Bishop Paul and he will initiate you into Priesthood.

You will be given a Bible [2] if you are Job 50, or a Book [3] for those who complete it with a lower job level.
