Jobchange Guide

Requirements Base Level: None Job Level: 10 Class: Novice Rewards Quest Reward(s): Jobchange to Acolyte Note: click the coordinates to copy them, and paste them into the game chat to be directed to the location. 1. Go to Prontera's Church in the northeastern corner of Prontera. Go to the room to the right hand side and talk to the male Cleric (Father Mareusis) prt_church18441 . Tell Mareusis "Father, I want to be an Acolyte". He will ask you to go meet one of the following Ascetics: Location of Prontera's Church Important: Once you talk to the corresponding Ascetic, you will be saved at their location. So if you die or use a Butterfly Wing, you will return to the NPC's spot instead of your previous save point. 2a. Mother Mathilda in North Morroc moc_fild0741355 : This is the longest distance one has to travel but is actually relatively easy to get to. Use the Kafra teleport service to go to Morroc, and go out the exit to the north. You will then be on Sograt Desert 07. The Ascetic is located in the northwestern corner of the map. Location of Mother Mathilda 2b. Father Yosuke in East Geffen prt_fild00208218 : Use the Kafra teleport service to warp to Geffen and walk 2 maps to the east to arrive at Prontera Field 00. It is also possible to reach this location by traveling 1 map west, 1 map north, and 1 map west from Prontera. The Ascetic is located in the center of the map. Location of Father Yosuke 2c. Father Rubalkabara in East Prontera prt_fild03365255 : Travel 1 map east, 1 map north, and 1 map east from Prontera to arrive at Prontera Field 03. This option is actually one of the hardest of the three choices due to the Mandragora map (Prontera Field 02) you must pass through. Try not to hit any of the Yoyos and Fly Wing from any Chocos: they will kill most Novices. The Ascetic is located in the northeastern corner of the map. Location of Father Rubalkabara 3. Return to the Church and talk to Father Mareusis again to change into an Acolyte. Builds See Priest Builds or Monk Builds for build strategies. 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 Louyang 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 STR: 1 AGI: 1 VIT: 5 INT: 9 DEX: 4 LUK: 9 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 AGI into build, and possibly not getting Angelus until Priest or not at all. Support Priest (PVM) Stats Starting stats STR: 1 AGI: 1 VIT: 9 INT: 9 DEX: 1 LUK: 9 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. STR: 1 AGI: 1 VIT: Low, just starting to add INT: Very high, possibly 99 DEX: 1 LUK: 9 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 AGI. 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 AGI then they'll be putting those points into Angelus.
