Tips

  • If you are uncomfortable using the default hotkey setting(F12), try learning Battle Mode. Acolyte skills probably won't fill up more than one hot key bar, but just getting used to battle mode's quirks will make the transition to Priest and buffing much easier.

<!-- -->
- If this is a starting character then one should consider getting Warp Portal early on as they can make a little extra money warping people to places like Luoyang at a lower price than the NPC can (and still make profit since it only costs them 600z for the Blue Gem).

Alternatively, once the Acolyte maxes out their primary buffs(Agility Up, Blessing, Heal) they can start a heal service for those who are out of potions or for players who have noone to assist them.

  • Making a high INT Acolyte isn't recommended for people who don't like to help others. If anyone sees an Acolyte sitting in town they will possibly ask them for buffs, heals, and maybe if they have a warp to a certain map. The Acolyte of course don't have to do any of these things for strangers, but keep in mind that the way a person treats others is the treatment they get in return.

<!-- -->
- Acolytes is commonly misunderstood as a Full Support build, making them prone to get KSed by pure accident. This is due to that players often believe that they are in immediate danger, so they're fending the enemies off of them.

Support Priest (WoE)

Stats

Can be the same as support PvM, if one wants to get lower VIT in order to protect against skills that pierce defense then they should vary their amounts of VIT and DEX.

Starting stats

Rough stats before Priest job change (bonuses not included). This will likely be around base level 65, possibly lower if the Acolyte levels on monsters with unusual base/job EXP ratios.

  • STR: 1
  • AGI: 1
  • VIT: Low, just starting to add
  • INT: Very high, but 99 isn't necessary
  • DEX: 4
  • LUK: 9

Skills

Can be the exact same as PvM FS, but may consider working Decrease Agility into build, and possibly not getting Angelus until Priest or not at all.

Support Priest (PvM)

Stats

Starting stats

Rough stats before Priest job change (bonuses not included). This will likely be around base level 65, possibly lower if one levels on monsters with unusual base/job EXP ratios.

Skills at job 50 (any FS PvM Acolyte not intending to go the entire 50 jobs should not bother making one at all, they can't hold a candle to job 50 Acolytes). These skills can be gotten in any order (outside of the prerequisites), but this is one common way. The number after the skill name indicates how many points to put into it, not necessarily the level to take the skill to.

Skills

Also note that not all of these skills are a requirement for all PvM FS Acolytes, some people have different playing styles, but almost all of them are used as other Acolyte skill prerequisites, Priest skill prerequisites (these will be noted) or are just extremely useful.

Two skills that no two Acolytes turning Support Priest will ever agree on are Cure and Decrease Agility. One should do their research before choosing to get or not get either, as both options have pros and cons. If the Acolyte doesn't get Cure or Decrease Agility then they'll be putting those points into Angelus.
