== Description ==
 +
'''Priests''' are [[player]]s who have completely devoted themselves to their chosen [[god]] (or [[deity]]). The priest is rewarded for their devotion by the ability to cast [[spells]] and the chance to become a [[Champion player|champion]].

 +
{{main|Convert}}
 +
To become a priest a [[follower]] can either make a pilgrimage to the [[white light]]'s '''[[Altar of Three]]''' or the [[black light]]'s '''[[Bone Altar]]''' on [[Chaos]], [[Elevation]] or [[Defiance]], depending on the god they follow or be converted by Another [[priest]] of the same religion if the requirements are right (PvE Servers only). Religious advisors found at starter towns can advance you from follower to priest if you have never been a priest before.
  
−
==Description==
+
* The follower requires a minimum of 30 [[faith]] when to be converted by a priest, and the priest must have at least 40.
 +
* On pvp servers [[Chaos]], [[Elevation]] and [[Defiance]] a follower with 30 faith may visit the [[Altar of Three]] or [[Bone Altar]] to become a priest.
 +
* On Northern freedom isles (Harmony, Melody, Cadence) a follower with 30 faith can visit a religious advisor npc at a starter town to become a priest.
 +
;* Any character wishing to become a priest must have active [[premium]] time.
  
−
At 30 [[faith]] you can go to the [[Altar of Three]] or the [[Bone Altar]] (depending which of the [[Gods]] you follow) and choose "Become a priest".

=== Changing faith ===
 +
If a priest ever feels the need to begin worshiping a different god, they may be converted by a follower of that faith. Doing so will reduce the faith of the converted to 20% of the preaching skill of the converter, meaning they will no longer be a priest. As above, either of the special altars may also be used, but this will result in faith being set to 1.

You can remove your priesthood by going unfaithful, and doing actions your god does not like. When you go below 30 faith, you will lose your priesthood, and your faith will be set down to 20.

# Research each religion's priests abilities and penalties to find which will suit you.

# See [[Fo]], [[Libila]], [[Magranon]], [[Vynora]]
 
−
# Raise your Faith to 30.
 
−
# As a Follower or someone on a basic account you cannot raise your Faith beyond 30.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Skills ===
 
−
 
 
−
# Nature skills should probably be kept as low as possible if you are on a basic account, since they generally affect Soul characteristics which, in turn, improve spell casting abilities. Keeping them low at the start in that case should help you raise Soul faster if you become premium.
 
−
# Support skills such as Blacksmithing, Carpentry, Cloth Tailoring, Masonry, Pottery, Stone Cutting and Wood Chopping  should all be raised to at least 20 so that you will not be left mostly unable to help yourself or your village in other ways after you become a priest.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
'''Note:''' 30 is a much better level to raise your support skills to for all skills except Stone Cutting, though raising Masonry to 30 via Stone Cutting alone would be a good idea.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
=== Characteristics ===
 
−
 
 
−
Assuming that you start as a premium character or that you intend to become premium around the time you become a Priest, it is important to raise your Strength characteristic to at least 21 before you become a priest, since most priest penalties affect skills that raise Strength well.
 
−
 
 
−
When you become a priest you must raise your Soul Strength/Depth in order to improve the outcome of your spells. Libilian and Magranon Priests must raise Soul Strength, Fo and Vynoran Priests must raise Soul Depth.

Main article: Convert

To become a priest a follower can either make a pilgrimage to the white light's Altar of Three or the black light's Bone Altar on Chaos, Elevation or Defiance, depending on the god they follow or be converted by Another priest of the same religion if the requirements are right (PvE Servers only).

  • The follower requires a minimum of 30 faith when to be converted by a priest, and the priest must have at least 40.
  • On pvp servers Chaos, Elevation and Defiance a follower with 30 faith may visit the Altar of Three or Bone Altar to become a priest.
  • On Northern freedom isles (Harmony, Melody, Cadence) a follower with 30 faith can visit a religious advisor npc at a starter town to become a priest.
  • Any character wishing to become a priest must have active premium time.
Altar Text

You will however by very limited in what you can do.
You will for instance not be able to do such things as dig, mine, improve items, or use alchemy.
You will also not be able to steal, pick locks or destroy structures to mention just a few other limitations.
If you later decide to become a Champion of <your god> these restrictions will be lifted.
As a Champion, you may only escape death a few times though.

Do you want to become a priest of <your god> despite the severe limitations it will have on your actions?

No priest can improve items, walls or structures. Priests can however still create, continue and plan items and structures.

Losing faith

Going against the will of a god will anger them and as a result the priest will lose faith, the amount lost depends entirely on the action taken. If a priest is to ever drop below 30 faith they will be stripped of their priesthood and re-join the ranks of the followers with an added 10 point loss in faith, leaving them at 20.

<God> no longer accepts you as a priest!

Premium

Once a player runs out of premium time their faith and favor will be limited to 30 and they will temporarily lose priesthood. Once premium time is renewed all skills and priesthood will revert back. Priests who are no longer premium become followers and are therefore not under the strict limitations described in the table above, meaning there will be no severe faith loss for going unfaithful while non-premium. However sometimes the gods will punish followers for disobedience, so it may be wise not to test the will of the gods.

Faith gain beyond 30 is not possible for non-premium accounts.
