“A faithful healer who channels holy light to protect allies and banish the undead. Ideal for players who enjoy support roles with a touch of offense.”

Description

Acolytes embody faith and support, channeling holy power to heal and protect allies. Perfect for players who enjoy supportive roles, Acolytes excel at keeping parties alive through healing magic while also banishing undead foes with holy attacks.

Their spellbook grants them access to both defensive and offensive light-based abilities, allowing them to adapt to many situations. Though not as durable as a Knight or as damaging as a Mage, their value lies in enabling their team to survive even the harshest encounters.

As a Base Class, the Acolyte is the cornerstone of supportive play, offering stability, healing, and guidance to groups venturing into dangerous battles.

Attributes

Primary Attributes
INT	The primary stat for Acolytes. Boosts healing and damage of all skills, increases MP, and raises magic defense.
VIT	Adds scaling to some healing skills and increases survivability. Provides higher HP and physical defense.
DEX	Reduces cast time (CTR). Helps Acolytes react faster in combat, making healing and support smoother.
Secondary Attributes
AGI	Increases attack speed and dodge chance. Has little value to Acolytes since they do not rely on melee combat.
STR	Governs physical attack power and melee damage. Not useful for Acolytes who rely solely on magic.
LUK	Boosts critical chance and critical damage. Does not benefit Acolytes, as their spells cannot crit.

Early Game Leveling

Levels 1–10

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

• Until you unlock Holy Light, rely on basic melee attacks to defeat weaker enemies.
• 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:

• Sunny Meadows (Lv 1–10): Beginner-friendly map, easy enemies, good for Job EXP.
• Forest Labyrinth (Lv 4–10): Slightly harder, with multiple levels of monsters. Acolytes can handle it well after unlocking Holy Light.

---

Levels 10–30

During this stage, Acolytes gain their foundational class abilities that affect specific targets, namely the Undead. Festering Woods is the best choice for leveling.

• Most enemies here are Undead or Shadow type, meaning they are weak to Holy Light.
• Heal can also be used offensively against 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 holy damage.

Recommended Maps:

• Festering Woods (Lv 19–25): Challenging when you first enter, but Acolytes thrive here thanks to their Holy skills.

---

Levels 30–40

The final part of the early game is spent in Fairy Glen. This zone is more difficult for Acolytes because most enemies are Holy-aligned, and will take reduced damage from both Holy Light and Exorcism.

• Invest into Exorcism for AoE damage. While it is also a 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 until Lv 40 even if leveling feels slower.

Recommended Maps:

• Fairy Glen (Lv 26–32): Holy enemies resist single-target holy spells, but grouping mobs and using Exorcism makes this map viable. Good for farming key items before moving on.

Mid Game Leveling

This section is where a player has gained an understanding of the game mechanics, and has access to most of their skills, and a sizable amount of attributes. There should be a focus on aiming to get better gear for higher levels, farming for specific helpful items, and aiming to set them on the path to success when getting into end-game content.

This section will eventually be the end of the document when advanced classes are released, as players will move onto the next class page for their specific specialization.

Levels 40–80

Work In Progress  

Late Game Leveling

This section is the last part of the leveling section of the page, and it should focus on providing the best possible avenues for leveling, places where the best possible gear can be found, and further goals to aim for.

Levels 80–90+

Work In Progress  

Endgame Overview

This section goes into depth on how the class will play, and how it should function at the highest level. While this is temporary as advanced classes will replace this completely, it is still useful for players at the current time so that they can test out the higher levels.

Tips and Tricks

Just the usual section where miscellaneous bits of info can be provided that doesn't fit anywhere else in the guide. Sections aren't probably needed, and instead bullet points can be used. Most likely the most customized part of the guide, as each class will handle their tips and tricks differently. Aco, for example, would probably mention things about killing undead, buff timers, and the current healing meta.
