Acolyte Class Guide

 Acolyte Class

Acolytes are devout followers of the light. Healing and support are their fortes. They are essential to every group. This is the only class that can wield holy elements. They are from the Acolyte guild in Prontera, the capital city of Midgard. 

In this guide, we will look into:

- Possible builds for Acolyte

- Recommended Skill Points Allocation

- Recommended Stat Points Allocation

- Recommended Equipments for each Build

- Acolyte Class Progression

- Leveling Spots

- The Class update

- Tips for the Acolyte Class

Recommend Builds: 

1. Full Support Acolyte - This build is more on aiding your party members during battle by providing sustained healing and buffs like Blessing and Increase Agility. 

2. Holy Light Acolyte  -  This build focuses on the single damage skill Holy Light. This skill deals holy element magic damage to a single target. 

3. Battle Acolyte - This build focuses on sheer attack speed and deals continuous physical damage. The Acolyte's buffs increase Acolyte's battle prowess by taking advantage of the increased Stats and attack speed. You can also use Auto Skill cards when doing normal attacks. 

Skill Points Allocation

> For the Holy Light build, max out Holy Light, Blessing, and Increase Agility. Then allocate the rest of the points to any skill that you need. 

> For the Battle Priest and Support Priest, max out Blessing and Increased Agility. Then allocate the rest of the points to any skill that you need. Like Heal for the support and Demon Bane for the battle priest. 

> Holy Light deals Holy element magic damage to a single target. 

> Blessing adds STR and INT. 

> Increase Agility increased ASPD and move speed. 

> Demon Bane and Signum Crusis to increase damage to Undead property monsters and reduce incoming damage from undead property monsters.

> Angelus and Kyrie Eleison increases survivability. 

> Heal restores missing HP. 

Recommended Stat allocation

For the Full Support Acolyte - Max out INT for increased healing. And Vitality to increase your survivability. A dead support is no support. 

For the Holy Light Acolyte - Put points to both INT and DEX with a 2:1 ratio. This increases both the base MDMG and the casting speed. 

For the Battle Acolyte - Max out STR to increase our Base ATK. No need to add Agility since we have the increased agility buff in the early stage. 

Recommended Equipment

1. Full Support Acolyte:


Weapon: Dea Staff

Armor: Magic Coat or Eden Group Uniform

Garment: Hood or Eden Group Cloak

Shoes: Magic Boots or Vital Tree Shoes

Accessories: Clip

Cards: Since cards that increase healing will most likely be not out yet, you may want cards that either add INT, VIT, or DEX.

Note: You will be using continuous healing and buffing so you need to survive. Survivability and mobility is the key. 

2. Battle Acolyte:

Weapon: Golden Mace

Armor: Combat Uniform or Thief Clothes
Garment: Ancient Cloak or Morrigane's Cloak
Shoes: Bunny Slipper or Morrigane's Shoes
Accessories: Silver Ring
Cards: Picky, Ninetails, Andre, (Racial, Element, Size) Cards. You can also add auto-skill cards when doing normal attacks. 

Note: This is the direct opposite of the Support/Magic-based Acolyte in terms of Damage. This focuses on dealing physical damage instead of Magic damage so your Support capability will be low tier. However, this is a balance build and can deal decent damage for both PVE and PVP.

3. Holy Light Acolyte:

Weapon: Dea Staff

Armor: Magic Coat

Garment: Hood

Shoes: Magic Boots

Shield: Exorcism Bible

Accessories: Clip

Cards: Focus on getting cards that increase MATK or give INT Stats. Desert Wolf Baby is a must.

Note: This is a holy-based Magic build so you will damage to undead and dark elements monsters. Holy Light also removes Kyrie Eleison's buff so this is good in PVP.

Acolyte Class Progression

After graduating from the Novice Academy, you will begin your journey by traveling to Prontera, the capital city of Rune-Midgard Kingdom, to receive your Job Change quest from the Acolyte Guild. 

Congratulations! You are now an Acolyte.

1. Once you change your job to Acolyte, focus on completing the "Twilight Lotus" quest.
2. You will be Base Lvl 15 and will be able to unlock the daily commission quest. Do not spend your daily tickets here and hunt monsters outside the town first. Until you reach Base level 17 where you can complete the "Traces of Baphomet: Sub quest."
3. Once done, hunts some Rockers and Thief Bugs until you reach Base level 22.
4. Continue the Main quest "Spirit Pieces."
5. And complete the rest of your battle time grinding in the following leveling spots.


Leveling Spots:

If you go the Holy Light build, target undead and dark element monsters to deal more damage. 

If you go to the Battle build, you can target medium and large-size monsters since we will be using a mace. 

1. Prontera West Gate - For Base levels 10 to 20. Target Rockers and Thief Bugs.

2. Desert Crossroad - For Base level 20 up. Target Desert Wolf Baby for the card.

3. Payon Cave - For Base level 20 up. Target Zombie and Skeleton and maximize your increased damage against them. 

4. Byalan Island - For Base level 40 up. Target Vadon and Hydra for Card.



The Update: 

Once they reach Job Level 40, Acolytes can change their class into either a Priest or Monk. 

Since Monk is not yet released, let's check the Priest class. 


Priests are divided into 3 builds: Full Support, Battle Priest, and Exorcist. 

Weapon: Dea Staff

Armor: Magic Coat or Eden Group Uniform

Garment: Hood or Eden Group Cloak

Shoes: Magic Boots or Vital Tree Shoes

Accessories: Clip

Cards: Since cards that increase healing will most likely be not out yet, you may want cards that either add INT, VIT, or DEX.

Note: You will be using continuous healing and buffing so you need to survive. The buffs you provide are now enhanced and can revive fallen allies. Survivability and mobility is the key. 

Weapon: Holy Stick

Armor: Magic Coat

Garment: Hood

Shoes: Magic Boots

Shield: Exorcism Bible

Accessories: Clip

Cards: Focus on getting cards that increase MATK or give INT Stats. Desert Wolf Baby is a must.

Note: This is a holy-based Magic build so you will damage to undead and dark elements monsters. You can go with the Massive AoE holy Skill "Magnus Exorcismus." Or the Single Target "Turn undead" skill that can instantly kill an undead monster. 

Weapon: Golden Hammer or Judgement of the Holy Hammer

Armor: Combat Uniform or Thief Clothes
Garment: Ancient Cloak or Morrigane's Cloak
Shoes: Bunny Slipper or Morrigane's Shoes
Accessories: Silver Ring
Cards: Picky, Ninetails, Andre, (Racial, Element, Size) Cards. You can also add auto-skill cards when doing normal attacks. 

Note: This is the direct opposite of the Support/Magic-based Priest in terms of Damage. This focuses on dealing Physical damage instead of Magic damage and can provide physical enhancement like "Impositio Manus" and "Gloria." This is a balanced build and can deal decent damage for both PVE and PVP.

Leveling Spots:
For levels 40 - 50 - You can grind in Shipwreck Labyrinth and target Pirate Skels and Megalodons.

Or you can grind in the Pyramid 1F and target Skel Soldiers, Mummies, and Skel Archers.

For Levels 50 - 60: You can grind in Payon Cave 2F and target Skel Archers, Bonguns, and Munaks.


For levels 50 - 60: Or you can grind in Pyramid 2F and target Skel Archers, Mummies, and Verits.


Or you can spend your time targeting the Skel worker in Mjolnir Abandoned Mine. 

Special Tips for the Acolyte Class:

- For Battle Acolyte/Priest using Concentration increases your Attack Speed. 

- This class will start really slow so you will need to rely on all of your self-buffs. 

- Always brings "Blue gemstones" as soon as you change your class to Priest. Grabbing the Illusion Mistress card solves your "Blue gemstones" problem but you need to increase your Steamed Crab consumption. 

- Always prioritize your safety and positioning to increase your survival. Always remember that "dead support is no support."

- For grinding, target monsters that are weak to Holy Elements (Undead, Shadow, Poison).
