Priest Build Guide
The Priest is an essential support class, the backbone of every dungeon party, MVP hunt, and Guild War. You get three distinct builds, each with its own gear path from level 55 to endgame.
Build Comparison
| Build | Role | Best For | Difficulty | F2P Friendly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full Support (FS) | Pure Healer/Buffer | Dungeons, MVP, WoE, GvG | Easy | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| ME (Magnus Exorcismus) | Holy AoE DPS | Undead/Demon farming, PvE mobbing | Medium | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Battle Priest (Crit) | Melee DPS + Off-Support | Solo farming, PvE, flexible content | Medium | ⭐⭐⭐ |
All three builds share the same Acolyte foundation. At Job Level 40, you choose your path. You can reset skills and stats anytime for free, so experiment.
Full Support Priest Level 55+ Build
The Full Support Priest keeps the party alive. Your job: heal, buff, cleanse, and resurrect. You sacrifice all personal damage for maximum team sustain. Every endgame party needs you.
Stat Priority
| Stat | Priority | Target | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| INT | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 90–99 | Increases healing power, max SP, and M.DEF |
| DEX | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Until -100% VCT after buffs | Reduces cast time — faster Sanctuary and Resurrection |
| VIT | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 70+ | Max HP, DEF, survivability. A dead Priest = dead party |
| LUK | ⭐ | 0–20 | Minor M.ATK and status resistance; low priority |
Allocation order: Max INT first → raise DEX until you hit -100% variable cast time with buffs active → dump remaining into VIT. In PvP, shift more points from INT into VIT as the extra 5% heal is not worth losing 15% HP.
Core Skills
| Skill | Level | Job | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heal | 10 | Acolyte | Your main heal; also deals Holy damage to Undead/Demon |
| Blessing | 10 | Acolyte | +30 STR/INT/DEX, +20 HIT to party within 20m |

| Safety Wall | 1–5 | Priest | Blocks physical hits (not MVP/boss). Optional PvP tool |
Full Support Gear Progression from Level 55 to Endgame
The Full Support Priest gear path prioritizes healing output, cast speed, and survivability. Here is the head-to-toe setup at level 55 and where to upgrade for endgame.
| Slot | Level 55 (F2P / Budget) | Level 70+ (Endgame) | Trait or Special Skill |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weapon | Survival Wand II (Legendary/Royal) | Colosseo Heal Staff or Sanctuary Staff (Red) | Divine Healing (+40% heal), Radiant Healing (+32% Sanctuary), Radiant Cooldown (-5s Sanctuary CD) |
| Head | Angel Wing (MVP event limited) | Any M.ATK headgear with refine | — |
| Face | Any with M.ATK / HP | Upgraded facewear with DEX/VIT | — |
| Mouth | Any with M.ATK / HP | Upgraded mouthwear with DEX/VIT | — |
| Armor | Sprint Mail (Legendary/Royal) | Goibne Armor (PvP) or Red Sprint Mail | Fortified, Unshakeable Guard, Elite Guard (PvE), Duelist Guard (PvP) |
| Cape | Rider Insignia (Sprint Set) | Goibne Cape (PvP) or Red Sprint Cape | — |
| Shoes | Sprint Boots (Legendary/Royal) | Goibne Shoes (PvP) or Bunny Slippers (DEX + INT) | — |
| Shield | Buckler (large DR) / Elemental Resistance (PvE) | Lamor Shield (PvP) / Royal Guard Shield | — |
| Accessory L | Lunatic Brooch (Legendary/Royal) | Red Lunatic Brooch or Recovery Ring II (Red) | Divine Healing, Radiant Healing, Holy Exorcism |
| Accessory R | Recovery Ring II (Legendary/Royal) | Red Recovery Ring or Lunatic Brooch (Red) | Same — do not duplicate the same trait |
Sprint Set (3-piece):
- SP Cap +5%, Magic Damage +2%.
- Each piece: -2% VCT, +12 M.ATK.
Goibne Set (3-piece):
- Elemental skill damage reduction, VIT +6.
- Better for PvP resists Silence, Freeze, and Blind.
Lunatic Brooch vs Recovery Ring:
- Lunatic Brooch gives more actual heal output because the M.ATK multiplier in the heal formula outweighs the flat healing bonus. Test both.
Enchants (Stones)
| Equipment | Enchant | Bonus Stats | Set Bonus (Max Tier) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weapon | Charity | M.ATK, INT, DEX | M.ATK, Healing, Fixed Bonus Damage |
| Shield | Adamant | VIT, HP, DEF, M.DEF | DEF, Max HP, Healing Received, Fixed DMG Reduction, Crit Resistance |
| Armor/Cape/Shoes | Magic Immunity / Physical Immunity / Fortitude | VIT, HP, DEF, M.DEF | DEF, Max HP, Physical DMG Reduction, Crit Resistance |
| Accessories | Charity | M.ATK, INT, DEX | VIT, M.ATK, Healing |
Charity stones are cheaper than the Spell set (which needs expensive VIT stones). Use Charity on weapon + both accessories.
Rune Engine
Target Holy Resonance (yellow, 7 crystals): +12% healing done/received, -10% damage taken, +15% all status resistance, +8% P.ATK/M.ATK on heal. Pair with Wind Resonance (green): +15 all stats, -25% fixed cast time, GCD reduction. Key runes: Healing Nova, Instant Healing, Healing Assault, Warding Halo, Healing Amplification — aim for level 3+ on each.

ME (Magnus Exorcismus) Priest — Level 55+ Build
The ME Priest is a Holy AoE specialist. Magnus Exorcismus creates a ground field that deals heavy Holy magic damage to everything inside Undead and Demon monsters take extra. This build farms faster than Full Support and still carries enough heals and buffs for party content.
Stat Priority
| Stat | Priority | Target | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| INT | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 90–99 | Holy damage scaling, heal power, max SP |
| DEX | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Until -100% VCT | ME has a long cast — you need instant cast for safe farming |
| VIT | ⭐⭐⭐ | 50–70 | Survivability while channeling ME in mob packs |
Core Skills
| Skill | Level | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Magnus Exorcismus | 10 | Main damage skill. AoE field, Holy property. Max this |
| Demon Bane | 5–10 | Passive damage boost vs Undead/Demon |
| Turn Undead | 5–10 | Single-target Holy nuke; chance to instant-kill Undead. Spam between MEs |
| Signum Crucis | 0–10 | Lowers enemy M.DEF. Better than Holy Light for PvP. Optional |
| Safety Wall | 5–10 | Protects you while casting ME. Does NOT work on MVP/boss damage |
| Sanctuary | 5 | Unlock Resurrection. Keep at 5 if you have heal traits |
| Resurrection | 4 | You are still a Priest — parties expect this |
| Heal | 10 | Core heal; also damages Undead |
| Blessing / Increase AGI / Kyrie / Angelus | Max | Standard support kit — take them all |
| Impositio Manus / Gloria / Aspersio / Suffragium | Max | Party buffs |
Gear Progression
| Slot | Level 55 | Level 70+ | Trait |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weapon | Grand Survival Staff (Legendary/Royal) | Red Grand Survival Staff | Holy Exorcism, Holy Damage, Reincarnation Lightning |
| Armor Set | Rider Set (VCT reduction + M.ATK) | Sprint Set or Goibne Set | Fortified, Unshakeable Guard |
| Accessories | Lunatic Brooch ×2 (M.ATK stacking) | Red Lunatic Brooch ×2 | Holy Exorcism, Holy Damage (not healing traits) |
Key difference from FS: ME Priest prioritizes M.ATK and Holy damage over healing bonuses. Lunatic Brooch beats Recovery Ring for damage. Use Grand Survival Staff, not Survival Wand. For PvP, swap one accessory trait to healing if you need to off-support.
Rune Engine
Target Holy Resonance (yellow, 7): healing + damage boost. Pair with Brown Resonance (4): 10% Max HP shield every 15s + enemy ATK reduction keeps you alive while channeling ME. For pure damage PvE, use Red Resonance (4) to cut enemy healing and boost burst.
Farming Maps
ME Priest excels at: Payon Cave (Undead-heavy), Glast Heim (Undead/Demon), and any map with dense Undead/Demon spawns. Stack M.ATK, set up Safety Wall, drop ME, and rotate Turn Undead between casts.
Battle Priest (Crit / Bonk) Level 55+ Build
The Battle Priest trades healing output for melee damage. You whack things with a mace, crit hard, and still carry enough support skills to off-heal and buff. This is the solo-friendly Priest build you can farm without a party.
Stat Priority
| Stat | Priority | Target | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| STR | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 80–99 | Melee ATK, weight limit, and HP |
| AGI | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 70–90 | Attack speed — hit the 184–193 ASPD range |
| VIT | ⭐⭐⭐ | 40–60 | Survivability in melee range |
| LUK | ⭐⭐ | 0–30 | Crit rate — but Blunt Weapon Mastery + Gloria already give you crit. Optional |
Core Skills
| Skill | Level | Job | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Renovatio Hammer | 10 | Priest | Main burst damage. AoE Holy hammer slam. Max this |
| Blunt Weapon Mastery | 10 | Priest | Passive — gives crit rate. Your crit source |
| Demon Bane | 5 | Acolyte | Damage boost vs Undead/Demon |
| Holy Light | 10 | Acolyte | Early ranged Holy damage; used to unlock Demon Bane |
| Blessing | 10 | Acolyte | +STR/INT/DEX — directly boosts your melee damage |
| Increase Agility | 5 | Acolyte | ASPD boost |
| Angelus | 10 | Acolyte | Survivability in melee |
| Gloria | 5 | Priest | +30 LUK = more crit |
| Impositio Manus | 5 | Priest | +60 ATK for you and party |
| Aspersio | 3 | Priest | Holy element weapon vs Undead/Demon |
| Duple Light | 10 | High Priest | Double-hit proc on basic attack — massive DPS boost (adv. 2nd job) |
| Assumptio | 5 | High Priest | DEF buff; advance 2nd job skill |
| Heal / Kyrie / Sanctuary / Resurrection | Varies | Both | Keep enough to off-support. Res 4 is non-negotiable in parties |
Gear Progression
| Slot | Level 55–57 | Level 70+ | Trait / Special |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weapon | Grand Cross +10~12 (Legendary/Royal) | Red Grand Cross or Mace with Sanctified Hammer | Sanctified Hammer: Normal ATK +10% at Refine 10. Heretic Judex: 25% chance to treat target as Undead. Revidation Hammer Lv3: 200% Holy AoE proc |
| Head | Angel Wing (MVP event) / Beard | Upgraded headgear | Hornet Card |
| Armor | Kail Robe +10 | Red armor with STR/VIT | Rocker Card, Savage Card |
| Cape | Eagle Wing +12 | Red cape | Dragon Fly Card, Nine Tail Card |
| Shoes | Black Leather Shoes (Lv 55/57) | Bunny Slippers or STR/DEX shoes | Chonchon Card, Matyr Card |
| Shield | Royal Guard Shield +11 | Red shield | Thara Frog Card ×2 |
| Accessory L | Rogue Treasure +10 | Red accessory with DEX/P.DMG | Auto Duple Light proc (chance to trigger double attack) |
| Accessory R | Cold Heart +11 | Red accessory with Ignore DEF | Revidation Hammer Lv3 |
Key mechanic: Battle Priest damage comes from basic attacks triggering Duple Light (double hit) and Sanctified Hammer procs. Stack attack speed (target 184–193 ASPD), STR for base damage, and crit from Blunt Weapon Mastery + Gloria. Cold Heart’s Ignore DEF lets you punch through tanky targets.
Rune Engine
Target Wind Resonance (green, 7): +15 all stats, +8% ASPD, -25% fixed cast time. Pair with Earth Resonance or Water Resonance. Key runes: Agile Defense (damage + ASPD), Lumina Crystal (bonus damage chance), Deadly Finale, Indomitable Wheel (12% HP restore).
Leveling Guide — Acolyte to Priest to High Priest
Levels 1–10: Novice
Follow the main quest through the tutorial. Equip whatever drops. Use basic attacks — your skill kit unlocks after the Acolyte job change.
Levels 10–40: Acolyte
Max Heal first. Heal-bomb Undead monsters in Payon Cave — Heal deals Holy damage to Undead, so you can both survive and kill. Party up whenever possible — you clear slower solo than DPS classes, but every party wants a healer. Complete all main and side quests for XP.
Skill upgrade order: Heal 10 → Blessing 10 → Increase AGI 5 → Angelus 10 → Kyrie 5.
Levels 40–55: Early Priest
After the job change at Prontera Church (Job Level 40), branch into your build. For FS: max Sanctuary → Resurrection 4 → Impositio Manus → Suffragium → Gloria. For ME: max Magnus Exorcismus → Turn Undead → Demon Bane. For Battle: max Renovatio Hammer → Blunt Weapon Mastery.
Farm Payon Cave (Undead), Glast Heim (Undead/Demon), and join MVP parties. Use the Job Freedom System to swap classes for efficient farming — farm with a DPS class, swap to Priest for dungeon runs.
Levels 55+: Mid to Endgame
Gear up with your build-specific equipment at level 55. Focus on refining your weapon and accessories first — they give the biggest stat returns. Run daily dungeons (Time Corridor for royal outfit chests), participate in MVP hunts, and join a guild for WoE and GvG content. Priests are mandatory in all endgame group content.
Priest Farming Guide Zeny & Materials
Full Support Priest
FS Priests are the slowest solo farmers. Your best approach: party up. Join MVP trains, dungeon carries, and guild farming groups. Use the Job Freedom System to swap to a DPS class (Mage, Gunslinger) for solo farming sessions, then swap back to Priest for group content.
ME Priest
The best solo-farming Priest build. Drop ME on dense Undead/Demon packs in Payon Cave and Glast Heim. With Safety Wall, you can solo large pulls. Prioritize maps with high mob density and Undead/Demon property — Holy damage gets bonus multiplier. Use Grand Survival Staff for maximum AoE damage.
Battle Priest
Solid solo farmer with auto-attack sustain. Buff up (Blessing, Increase AGI, Gloria, Impositio Manus, Aspersio), turn on auto-battle, and let Duple Light + Sanctified Hammer procs clear packs. Effective on non-Undead maps too — Heretic Judex gives 25% chance to treat any target as Undead, triggering your bonus damage.
General Tips
- Auto-hunting: the game has built-in offline auto-battle. Set your skill rotation, find a good spawn, and let it run overnight.
- SP management: Use Magnificat for party SP recovery. Equip SP regen cards early (Elder Willow). Carry SP potions for long sessions.
- Card farming: Target mini-bosses that drop valuable cards (Rabbit Card from cape slot, Thara Frog from shield). Farm during off-hours when competition is low.
- Multi-character: Use the free class swap to maintain a farming alt. Level a Mage or Gunslinger for pure farming efficiency, keep your Priest for group content.
