Preface
In the same vein as my Farming guide, this guide is intended to be helpful to people learning to be a priest for the first time.
Starting Out
It is extremely important to research the various restrictions of each type of priest before you decide to create a priest character.
You must have a premium account to become a priest.
Followers
You need to become a Follower before you can become a Priest and you need to have 1.5+ Body to become any sort of Follower. You also need 1.0+ Alignment to become a Follower of Fo, Magranon or Vynora.
Champions
If you later want to become a Champion you will need to bear in mind that:
- Priests of Libila and Magranon need 25 soul strength to become a champion.
- Priests of Vynora and Fo need 23 soul depth to become a champion.
Preparation
Before you start your priest it will be helpful to have a few things ready:
All Priests
- Altar
- Bed
- Rake and easy access to at least 50 tiles of farmland planted with Cotton, Potato and Wemp plants
- Rope Tool
- a couple of Dog, preferrably penned in adjacent locked pens
Fo & Vynora
- Fine Fishing Rod and easy access to a fishing spot
- Sickle and plenty of trees nearby
Libila & Magranon
Important Skills
The skills below are important because they raise the important characteristics for the various types of priest.
Because the lower levels in these skills seem to give the fastest increase to the characteristics. I would suggest raising as many of these to 20 as possible before you become a priest.
All Priests
Channeling which can only be raised after you become a priest, Praying, Taming (not Libila)
Fo & Vynora
Soul Depth based skills are most important though, I assume, that all Soul raising skills are useful.
Botanizing, Farming, First Aid, Fishing, Foraging, Forestry, Gardening, Hot food cooking, Pottery, Tracking
Libila & Magranon
Soul Strength based skills are most important though, I assume, that all Soul raising skills are useful.
Masonry, Mining, Paving, Tailoring
Being a Follower
You need to raise your Faith to 30 before you can change from Follower to Priest.
The fastest way to do this is to pray 5 times daily at intervals of at least 20 minutes. Praying more often will not affect your Faith but will help to raise your Soul characteristics.
While you are waiting on your Faith to rise, your best use of your time is to concentrate on the appropriate skills listed above.
Bear in mind that Priests are severely limited in what they can do so you may want to postpone becoming a Priest until your Soul Strength is 25 or your Soul Depth is 23 if you think that you may want to become a Champion later.
Also remember that, once a priest, you can create almost everything, even though they cannot improve things, so it is handy to have basic ability in most skills where you can complete things in a single action.
It can be useful to raise Mind Logic to 30 before becoming a priest so that you will have 4 actions. A good way to do this is to work hard at carpentry skills.
Becoming A Priest
Note: Priests of Libila should find it much easier to get to the Black Light so the following is for White Light priests only and only if you are on Wild.
When are ready to become a priest (at least 30 Faith and enough points in the appropriate Soul characteristic) you will need to be initiated at the Altar of Three.
When you are ready to do so it is important to make sure that you have at least two prayers left for that day (see later).
The fastest way to get to the White Light (Altar of Three) is to /suicide, choosing your rebirth point as the Altar of Three.
After you actually become a priest, by clicking on the correct deity, you should pray at the altar (thus the reason for keeping prayers available). After you pray, you should see a new purple bar appear below your food and water bars.
Having converted to become a priest of the god of your choice you may then /suicide back to the home town of your kingdom.
If you choose not to /suicide, finding your way to the White Light overland is your own task. In that case, the Maps page may be useful to you.
Being a Priest
The most important things to do are to Pray regularly and to raise your Channeling skill.
Channeling is raised by casting spells and benefits from sleep bonus. The fastest way to raise Channeling is to have a large supply of valuable items to Sacrifice, so that you have more favour in a shorter time and to sacrifice especially while you have sleep bonus.
Initially, Bless raises Channeling fastest and getting to 15-20 Channeling using only Bless is fairly easy. About a week.
For Vynora priests. You should start casting Opulence at around 15 Channeling for slightly faster skillgain.
Farming (not Libila) and making Rope is one way for priests to get high value items to sacrifice. It is certainly going to be faster to have village support to make you other high value items, such as jewellery, for you to sacrifice.
Making ropes is also a valuable skill its its own right and ideal for priests.
Priests can be somewhat frustrating characters to have as alts, since they cannot do an awful lot, though see below.
Be aware though that a priest can create stuff in every skill that is not prohibited so they do still have some potential to learn skills and be of use.
Other Useful Priesting Passtimes
These suggestions are all based on the idea that some things are time consuming but easy to create at low skill, thus being an ideal use of your priest's time, expecially if you can dual client.
- making String of cloth, Square piece of cloth and Sheet
- making Shafts and Planks
- making Pegs, Tenons and Hull planks
- making Fletching parts prior to imp
- all basic blacksmithing, such as making Small nails and other simple items
- all lock making is ideal for priests since they dont have to improve anything
- basic pottery
Prospective Champions
If you intend to become a Champion, then, as well as the requirements mentioned above, it is advisable to first raise at least Channeling to 30 (and perhaps all religious skills) since these will all be immediately boosted by +50 to a maximum value of 80.
Be aware that a champion may not leave Wild.
