The Acolyte
The Acolyte is a support class, usually found behind the front line fighters,
keeping them standing. It has support skills like healing and can grant stat bonuses to allies.
It's not uncommon to see Acolytes traveling with adventurers, since they're the most skilled
when it comes to giving support.
General class reference guide. ReClassic applies its own rebalance to several skills, so some builds and skills may vary compared to classic Ragnarok.
Standard Builds
The Acolyte's two main paths are Full Support (fully focused on buffing and healing the party) and Battle (focused on combat).

Becoming an Acolyte
Requirements: being a Novice, having learned all 9 Basic Skills and having spent all your skill points.
The quest starts at the Prontera Sanctuary (`prt_church`).
Note: the NPC also offers to change your class right away, with no test. But you lose the Acolyte's Glove (INT +5 and +10% EXP up to level 60).
Step
What to do
1
Talk to Necrus (prt_church,184,41), at the Prontera Sanctuary, and choose Make the pilgrimage. He'll ask if you're sincere: answer Yes.
2
The pilgrimage. Visit the 3 siblings, in this order:
2a
Brother Simão (`prt_fild03,365,255`), northeast of the Prontera ruins
2b
Sister Matilda (`moc_fild07,41,355`), field north of Morroc
2c
Brother Bartolomeu (`prt_fild00,208,218`), field northwest of Prontera
3
Go back to Necrus at the Sanctuary and he'll turn you into an Acolyte.
The order matters: visit Simão, then Matilda, then Bartolomeu.
When people talk about the Payon cave, they mean archers and acolytes. They dominate this part of Payon thanks to their skills and several advantages. Healing undead monsters damages them, so rush to get Heal level 5 or higher; with this skill, you'll always have someone to party with. Next, get Blessing and raise your AGI, and giving support becomes easy. Move up a map once you get stronger to earn more EXP.
Morroc Field
Easy
After finding someone to party with, go kill some Mukas! and then Hodes! You can also come here alone and look for a party. Nobody turns down an acolyte! Keep the party members under control, healing and buffing when needed. Sit down whenever you're standing still, to help regenerate your SP.
Orc Dungeon
Medium
If you're looking for more action and endless grinding, the Orc Dungeon is for you. Monsters respawn as soon as they die, giving you no time to rest. Stay alert, a monster can pop up right next to you. Don't stray far from the front line fighters, stay by their side to draw the mobs that spawn near you. Bring potions in case of emergency and move to the next level once you get stronger.
Juno Field
Medium to Hard
This is a famous spot for archers to level, since Carnivorous Plants don't move. Find an archer to party with and start leveling! Don't forget to save this map as a teleport point; you can offer warp service to people when you're not in the mood to level. Watch out for Punk, Harpy and Deviling, they'll kill you. Sit down when standing still to recover SP fast.
Acolytes are archers' best friends. Find an archer to party with, since they can kill Grand Orcs from range. Use Pneuma against an Orc Archer. Bring potions in case of emergency. The monsters here deal heavy damage, stay alert and don't stray too far.
