At the start, players begin in '''[[Maps#Nevaris|Nevaris]]''', the main town. The first training area is [[Maps#Sunny Meadows|'''Sunny Meadows''']], where most classes learn the basics of combat.   


* Until you unlock '''Holy Light''', rely on basic melee attacks to defeat weaker enemies. 
* Invest a point into Holy Light, you can level in '''[[Maps#Sunny Meadows|Sunny Meadows]]''' or move to the early parts of the [[Maps#Forest Labyrinth|'''Forest Labyrinth''']].
* Focus on raising your Job Level quickly so that you can obtain Holy Light as soon as possible. 
* Once you have Holy Light, you can continue leveling in Sunny Meadows or move to the early parts of the '''Forest Labyrinth'''.

Recommended Maps:
* '''[[Maps#Sunny Meadows|Sunny Meadows]] (Lv 1–10):''' Beginner-friendly map, easy enemies, good for Job EXP.   
* '''[[Maps#Sunny Meadows|Sunny Meadows]] (Lv 1–5):''' Beginner-friendly map, easy enemies, good for Job EXP.   
* '''[[Maps#Forest Labyrinth|Forest Labyrinth]] (Lv 4–10):''' Slightly harder, with multiple levels of monsters. Acolytes can handle it well after unlocking Holy Light.
** Novice Armor and the Pioneer Artifact set are decent early options to help you until you get better options at higher levels.
* '''[[Maps#Forest Labyrinth|Forest Labyrinth]] (Lv 6–10):''' Slightly harder, with multiple levels of monsters. Acolytes can handle it well after unlocking Holy Light.
** Windborne Artifact set is a decent option as it provides Move Spd if you do not need or want the Hp, Mp, Matk, Atk, and Regens of Pioneer.

* '''Heal''' can also be used offensively against [[File:UndeadIcon.png|15px]] [[Elements#Undead|Undead]] enemies once it is leveled. This makes you both self-sustaining and highly effective against mobs.

* Stay in Festering Woods until at least level 30. While here, try to collect useful card and equipment drops that will boost your cast speed and [[File:HolyIcon.png|15px]] [[Elements#Holy|Holy]] damage.

The final part of the early game is spent in '''Fairy Glen'''. This zone is more difficult for Acolytes because most enemies are '''[[File:HolyIcon.png|15px]] [[Elements#Holy|Holy-aligned]]''', and will take reduced damage from both '''Holy Light''' and '''Exorcism'''.

* Invest into '''Exorcism''' for AoE damage. While it is also a [[File:HolyIcon.png|15px]] [[Elements#Holy|Holy]] spell, the ability to strike multiple targets at once makes it efficient despite the damage reduction. 
* Try to gather multiple mobs before casting Exorcism for best results. 
* Several important equipment drops are found here, so it is recommended to remain in Fairy Glen through this bracket even if leveling feels slower.

* '''Important Note:''' Fairy Glen is the first map where you will find monsters with the '''Spell Shield''' skill, which will reflect one spell and deal full damage to the player. This will reflect Holy Light, but not Exorcism.

Recommended Maps:
* '''[[Maps#Fairy Glen|Fairy Glen]] (Lv 26–32):''' [[File:HolyIcon.png|15px]] [[Elements#Holy|Holy-aligned]] enemies resist single-target holy spells, but grouping mobs and using Exorcism makes this map viable. Good for farming key items before moving on.
* '''[[Maps#Fairy Glen|Fairy Glen]] (Lv 31–35):''' [[File:HolyIcon.png|15px]] [[Elements#Holy|Holy-aligned]] enemies resist single-target holy spells. Good for farming key items before moving on.
** Spellthread armor, Spellweaver artifact set, Sun Emblem shield, Multiple Cast Spd and Healing % cards.
* '''[[Maps#Mystic Lake|Mystic Lake]]''' '''(Lv 31-35):''' An alternative option to '''[[Maps#Fairy Glen|Fairy Glen]]''' to farm Spellthread armor.

On floor one, [[File:ShadowIcon.png|15px]] [[Elements#Shadow|Shadow]] mobs are highly vulnerable to your skills, but [[Elements#Holy|Holy]] enemies will resist. Pick your fights carefully. Floor two is a tronger choice due to its smaller size and higher mob density. However, beware of enemies casting '''Spell Shield''' and '''Banishment Field''', both of which are dangerous for casters.
