Overview
Once Acolytes have undergone rigorous spiritual training and have served the Church and the community as a whole, they have the opportunity to be promoted within the ranks of the Church. If the Monk is said to train their body to fight evil and the Undead physically, the Priest does so with magic. As their spiritual journey brings them closer to God, they gain advanced skills in healing as well as new ways to assist their allies and harm their foes. They are able to resurrect fallen comrades, protect them from harm, and bless their weapons. They can create spaces of safe haven where the Undead cannot penetrate and can decimate hordes of Undead with ease.
Most Priests find themselves in company more often than not, typically giving up their offensive abilities in order to further support those they travel with. Even though Priests are typically not on the front lines of battle, they need to be constantly aware of their surroundings and their companions. A Priest that fails to pay attention can cause problems for themselves and their friends. Priests must be able to focus on the situation at hand and also be able to multitask with little difficulty in order to assure their party stays alive.
Job Change Guide
- See Priest Job Change Guide for detailed information.
Once the player reaches the minimum Job Level at 40 as an Acolyte and feels they are ready to advance in their spiritual journey, they can talk to the High Bishop in the first room on the left side of the Church in Prontera. If the High Bishop feels that the player has devoted themselves fully and is ready to prove their faith to the religion, he allows the player to start the test to become a Priest. This test involves not only facing the Undead directly but also proving that the Acolyte has studied and practiced the teachings well. If desired, the player can choose to have a player who has already become a Priest assist them in the combat portion of the test. The accompanying Priest needs to bring a Rosary in their inventory in order to participate with the Acolyte. If the player has reached Job Level 50, the High Bishop will inform them that they do not need to complete the pilgrimages portion of the test as they have experienced enough of the world to advance in the ranks of the Church.
Changing into a Priest from an Acolyte requires the player to complete a number of tasks, including:
- Pilgrimages
- Exorcism and Temptation Trials
- Purity Test
After successfully completing these tests, the player will be transformed into a Priest. The High Bishop will also award the player a Bible [2] if they are at Job Level 50 or a Book [3] if they are lower in Job Level.
