Overview

Acolytes devote their lives to serving the church and helping others. They call upon the powers of the divine to aid their allies, heal their wounds, empower them with holy magic, and help weaken the forces of evil. Acolytes begin their training at the Church, located in the north-eastern part of Prontera.

Acolytes are unable to wield bladed weapons, as this is forbidden by the church, so they are limited to using Rods/Staves and Maces as weapons. Acolyte skills are mostly supportive in nature, as they have the basic recovery spells, support and mobility spells, and can remove some status ailments. They also have skills that improve their capabilities against the demon and undead races. Acolyte skills as well consume a lot of SP so it is difficult for them at this point to support large parties.

Acolytes rely on STR for increasing physical damage, or choose to increase INT for a larger SP pool and faster SP recovery and eventually stronger magic damage. DEX will be used for either a better hit rate or lowering cast time of spells.

An acolyte may choose to further specialize in using divine magic as a Priest or engage in a more intensive physical and mental training to become a Monk.

Make your way to Prontera Church (Prontera 234,314), then enter the right portal, the NPC is at the end of the hallway. Confirm your decision to change jobs then he will send you to one of 3 Ascetics. Please note that once you have talked with the Ascetic, your respawn point will move to the place where the Ascetic is.

The Ascetics are found in these locations:

Mother Mathilda - warp to 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).
