=== Choice of meditation path for a priest ===
This is very much a personal decision. I will share the choices I made with my priests.
==== Vyn ====
Vyn priests will spend an incredible amount of time increasing channelling and soul depth knowledge. In many cases far more time then the other types of priests.
For this reason I chose the Path of knowledge since it contains bonouses from faith level and if you reach a high meditation level you also gain an additional 25% permanent skill gain. This path also protects against skill loss on death.
==== Fo ====
Fo works with animals and crops. For this reason I chose Path of love for Fo priests. The ability to enchant grass is a very useful one that comes at a relatively easy meditation level to attain.
==== Mag ====
Mag is about mining. Path of power provided the ability to turn a tile (even an ore I believe) into lava and then later freeze that tile back to rock. This is a great option to have if you will be mining tunnels, cave canals etc.
Some people choose path of insanity for more warlike Mag priests. I understand Shield of the Gone is a very compelling reason for choosing this path.
=== Time to usefulness ===
From least time required to be useful to most time required.
==== Mag ====
Can make light tokens right away and after a relatively quick ascent to 70 faith can also do strongwall
==== Fo ====
The most common uses for Fo priests seem to be genesis, wild growth and courier. All of these are available at low levels of chan and faith.
Life Transfer is popular for weapons. It takes a Fo priest a long time to become Life Transfer effective compared to genesis effective.
==== Vyn ====
Vyns like to shatter things at lower levels and for this reason can be quite frustrating. Opulence does make meals last a lot longer giving them some usefulness at a lower level.
The primary focus for people who own Vyn priests seems to be to be able to do high level casts of Circle of Cunning and Winds of Ages. To be truly effective with 70+ casts will take a lot longer.
