=== Weapon Farm at Goblin Cave ===
''In this map, we get our first shield.''  

* '''Entry Note''': If you are Lv 40+ and look like the example of items above, proceed to Goblin Cave.  
* '''Key Skills for This Zone''':  
** [[Acolyte#Exorcism|Exorcism]] — Lv 5 (no more than that for now)  
** [[Acolyte#Sacred-Aegis|Sacred Aegis]] — Lv 5  
** [[Acolyte#Sanctuary|Sanctuary]] — Lv 5  
* '''Objective 1''': Farm your current best weapon, which drops from Zombie Goblin Giant. ([https://spiritvale.info/equipment/grimoire-of-binding-light Grimoire of Binding Light] — int / matk% / dmg magic %)  
* '''Objective 2''': For endgame we need this card [https://spiritvale.info/cards/zombie-goblin-soldier-card Zombie Goblin Soldier Card], so get 1.  
* '''How to Fight''':  
** Standard: Use Heal + Mass Heal + [[Acolyte#Holy-Light|Holy Light]] to kill mobs.  
** If facing multiple mobs: add [[Acolyte#Exorcism|Exorcism]].  
** After you learn [[Acolyte#Sanctuary|Sanctuary]], use the rotation below.  

* '''Recommended Rotation''': [[Acolyte#Sanctuary|Sanctuary]] → [[Acolyte#Exorcism|Exorcism]] → [[Acolyte#Holy-Light|Holy Light]] (spam).  

'''Note:''' As soon as you finish with Goblin Cave, we'll go to the desert. We need to get an accessory called the [https://spiritvale.info/equipment/obsidian-loop Obsidian Loop] from the Scorpion. This part is easy and doesn't require much attention. Once the accessory drops, we'll move on to the next part of the guide. Don’t forget you need INT for the accessory!
