The Priest
The Priests, one of the Acolyte's advanced classes, are the perfect choice for anyone who wants to follow the support path. But don't be fooled: they're feared by undead monsters and demons. With their advanced skills, they can resurrect fallen allies, protect them from danger, and bless their weapons. And don't forget: they can kill undead monsters in a single hit.
General class reference guide. ReClassic applies its own rebalance to several skills, so some builds and skills may differ from classic Ragnarok.
ReClassic Exclusive: Priest Soul Link
In ReClassic, the Priest Soul Link (the buff granted by the Herald of the Soul) boosts Corrupted Heal: while Soul Link is active, Corrupted Heal deals double damage.
Corrupted Heal is the offensive version of Heal, unlocked by Vorgaroth's Wings [1] refined to +7 (it grants the skill at the same level as your Heal). With Priest Soul Link active, it becomes a much stronger damage tool, so it's worth coordinating with a Herald of the Soul in your party. This boost is part of the server's own class rebalance.
Becoming a Priest
Requirements: be an Acolyte, have at least job level 40, and have spent all your skill points.
Required item: you need a Rosary in your inventory. Without it, Bishop Paul refuses to send you to the testing area (2nd exam).
Note: Bishop Paul also offers to turn you into a Priest right away for 100,000z, no test. But you lose the rewards: the 100,000z bonus, the Book, the Bible, and the Platinum Skills.
The Priest guild is in the upper right corner of Prontera (Sanctuary). There are 3 exams.

What to do
1
The Priest guild is in the upper right corner of Prontera.
2
Once inside the Prontera Sanctuary, talk to Bishop Paul (at the back of the cathedral) to start the test. Sister Cecilia, who handles your questions during the exams, is nearby.
3
He'll ask you to go on a pilgrimage, visiting three priests in this order: Brother Simão (northeast of the Prontera ruins), Sister Matilda (north of Morroc), and Brother Bartolomeu (northwest of Prontera, near a lake). Visit them in that order. Tip: anyone who reaches job level 50 is exempt from this trip and goes straight to the next exam.
4
After the pilgrimage, go back to Bishop Paul and he'll teleport you to the spiritual training room. Talk to Brother Pedro to begin. You have 5 minutes to clear the stages: first, kill all the zombies (they appear with the names of sins, like Theft, Envy, Arrogance). Then, cross the room of tempters (Deviruchi, Doppelganger, Dark Lord, and Baphomet): they try to convince you to give up the priesthood, so refuse everything they say. Finally, defeat the mummies and reach the end of the room.
5
After the spiritual training, talk to Sister Cecilia, inside the Prontera Sanctuary, for the Priesthood Oath. Note: the answers are NOT all "yes". Answer exactly like this: 1) give your life to God? Yes. 2) will you use your powers only for yourself? No. 3) use your powers to help others? Yes. 4) would you sacrifice yourself for another person's life? Yes. 5) will you bother people by repeating the same words? No. 6) will you bring large numbers of monsters for others to kill for you? No. 7) will you live and die for divine glory? Yes. 8) for the final oath, answer I swear. Getting any question wrong restarts the interview. Once you pass, go back to Bishop Paul to become a Priest.
The 2nd exam in detail: the spiritual training
Bishop Paul teleports you to `job_prist`. Talk to Brother Pedro to begin. There are 3 rooms and you have 5 minutes total.
Room 1: the sins.13 Zombies named after sins: Theft, Desire for Virtue, Jealousy, Wrath, Envy, Arrogance, Lust, Sloth, Gluttony, Greed, Despair, Distrust, and Fear. They appear in waves as you advance. The portal at the end of the corridor only opens once all 13 are dead: there's no running past and skipping the room.
Room 2: the temptations. Four demons approach you in sequence: Deviruchi, Doppelganger, Dark Lord, and Baphomet. Each one offers you something (a rare card, a deal, sparing your life) to make you give up the priesthood.
The rule is simple: refuse everything, always. For all of them, the first option is to give in: and giving in gets you kicked out of the test on the spot. Always choose the second one:
Deviruchi → Begone, demon! and then Silence!
Doppelganger → I will not negotiate... Doppelganger. and then I will never listen to you!
Dark Lord → God will protect me. and then Demon, be gone!
Baphomet → No, Baphomet. You have lost.
Room 3: the mummies. Six Mummies with Egyptian names (Khamoz, Amocsis, Mentuhoteph, Akenaten, Mehnes, Snepheru). Here you don't need to kill them: just reach the portal at the end of the room. Run.
If the 5-minute time limit runs out, you're sent back to Prontera and have to redo the exam.
Tip: at job level 50 you're exempt from the 1st exam (the pilgrimage) and go straight to this one. A real Priest can also enter the room to help you.
The Grand Orcs give a lot of EXP to newly promoted advanced class characters. Take advantage of that.
Pyramids
Medium to Hard
The Pyramids offer great EXP with great drops. Just stay alert so you can save your party members.
Beach Dungeon
Medium to Hard
Find an Assassin to party with and hunt some Stalactic Golems. It's a literal leech for you, since Assassins have high Flee and take almost no damage.
Clock Tower
Medium to Hard
The Alarms drop Brooch [1], which is a valuable piece of equipment. Party with a Wizard and start pulling mobs to maximize your leveling potential. There are also Grand Orcs at the pink marker.
Magma Dungeon
Medium to Hard
The Magma Dungeon, the holy grail for zeny farmers. Grab a Knight with Bowling Bash and watch your EXP bar explode! Use fire armor (Pasana Card).
Glast Heim
Medium to Hard
Party with a Wizard and attack the GH castle. This map has high density, so every Storm Gust from your party member is worth it. You can also party with a Hunter and hunt Raydrics in the GH Chivalry. If you have a melee party member, remember to use Aspersio on them.
Turtle Dungeon
Medium to Hard
Another famous spot for high levels is the turtle dungeon. Monster density here is high, so you don't need to worry about running out of monsters to kill. Head to the next floors for more EXP and monsters.
Niflheim Fields
Medium to Hard
Grab a Wizard and start pulling mobs. Undead monsters don't freeze, so your party member's Storm Gust is maximized. Remember to wear armor with Bathory Card/Evil Druid to nullify the dark-element Spiritual Strike. Make sure you can tank!
Sphinx
Medium to Hard
Anubis is your main target here, grab an Archer and start hunting. Its EXP is incredibly high, so don't pass it up. Remember to wear armor with Bathory Card/Evil Druid to nullify the dark-element Spiritual Strike. You can also enter the center portal if you want to level with Pasanas.
