10) Skill Point Allocation <2nd Job>

Here I have listed two skill paths. One of them is for the Cleric who wishes to
conserve mesos, which means you get MP Eater and Max Teleport earlier (this is
not necessarily a non-funded path). The second is for the Cleric who is leaning
towards being a party cleric, meaning you get Bless and Invincible first.
As was with the 1st job builds, the outcome is identical.

BUILD 1
For the money-saving Cleric (also a path suited for Solo Clerics [clerics
who train mostly on their own instead of partying]).

Level 30: +1 Teleport
Level 31: +3 Heal
Level 32: +3 Heal
Level 33: +3 Heal
Level 34: +3 Heal
Level 35: +3 Heal
Level 36: +3 Heal
Level 37: +3 Heal
Level 38: +3 Heal
Level 39: +3 Heal
Level 40: +3 Heal (MAX)
Level 41: +3 MP Eater
Level 42: +3 MP Eater
Level 43: +3 MP Eater
Level 44: +3 MP Eater
Level 45: +3 MP Eater
Level 46: +3 MP Eater
Level 47: +2 MP Eater (MAX), +1 Teleport
Level 48: +3 Teleport
Level 49: +3 Teleport
Level 50: +3 Teleport
Level 51: +3 Teleport
Level 52: +3 Teleport
Level 53: +3 Teleport (MAX)
Level 54: +3 Invincible
Level 55: +2 Invincible, +1 Bless
Level 56: +3 Bless
Level 57: +3 Bless
Level 58: +3 Bless
Level 59: +3 Bless
Level 60: +3 Bless
Level 61: +3 Bless
Level 62: +1 Bless (MAX), +2 Invincible
Level 63: +3 Invincible
Level 64: +3 Invincible
Level 65: +3 Invincible
Level 66: +3 Invincible
Level 67: +1 Invincible (MAX), +2 Holy Arrow
Level 68: +3 Holy Arrow
Level 69: +3 Holy Arrow
Level 70: +3 Holy Arrow

For those who prefer it in written form:
Teleport > 1, Heal > MAX, MP Eater > MAX, Teleport > MAX, Invincible > 5,
Bless > MAX, Invincible > MAX, Holy Arrow > 11

NOTE: If you would like, you can put your 1st point on Heal and save Teleport
till after MP Eater or after Heal. However, I suggest 1 point on Teleport for
Ludi PQ, which you (probably) will be doing. If you do not plan on Ludi PQing,
I still suggest your 1st point on Teleport, because Level 1 Heal is useless.

NOTE: If you would like, you can max Teleport before MP Eater. Some chose to do
this - it is a good idea if you use teleport frequently (in this case it saves
more MP than MP Eater). MP Eater is better for the solo trainer who likes to
hunt. If you follow my non-PQ path, MP Eater and Teleport are both useful,
MP Eater slightly more so because you will be mob-killing with heal.

NOTE: If you would like, you can finish off Invincible then max Bless.
Personally I did Bless first, because I was in need of some nice Buffs
after maxing Heal/MP Eater/Teleport.

In the end you will end up with:

Heal: 30 (MAX)
MP Eater: 20 (MAX)
Teleport: 20 (MAX)
Invincible: 20 (MAX)
Bless: 20 (MAX)
Holy Arrow: 11

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

BUILD 2
For the Cleric leaning towards being a Party Cleric. In this build, you WILL
use a lot of potions (not many more than other classes would, just more
than other clerics would) because you do not Max Teleport early, and you
do not get MP Eater early. You probably should be funded for this build,
however it is not necessary.

Level 30: +1 Teleport
Level 31: +3 Heal
Level 32: +3 Heal
Level 33: +3 Heal
Level 34: +3 Heal
Level 35: +3 Heal
Level 36: +3 Heal
Level 37: +3 Heal
Level 38: +3 Heal
Level 39: +3 Heal
Level 40: +3 Heal (MAX)
Level 41: +3 Invincible
Level 42: +2 Invincible, +1 Bless
Level 43: +3 Bless
Level 44: +3 Bless
Level 45: +3 Bless
Level 46: +3 Bless
Level 47: +3 Bless
Level 48: +3 Bless
Level 49: +1 Bless (MAX), +2 Invincible
Level 50: +3 Invincible
Level 51: +3 Invincible
Level 52: +3 Invincible
Level 53: +3 Invincible
Level 54: +1 Invincible (MAX), +2 Teleport
Level 55: +3 Teleport
Level 56: +3 Teleport
Level 57: +3 Teleport
Level 58: +3 Teleport
Level 59: +3 Teleport
Level 60: +2 Teleport (MAX), +1 MP Eater
Level 61: +3 MP Eater
Level 62: +3 MP Eater
Level 63: +3 MP Eater
Level 64: +3 MP Eater
Level 65: +3 MP Eater
Level 66: +3 MP Eater
Level 67: +1 MP Eater (MAX), +2 Holy Arrow
Level 68: +3 Holy Arrow
Level 69: +3 Holy Arrow
Level 70: +3 Holy Arrow

For those who prefer it in written form:
Teleport > 1, Heal > MAX, Invincible > 5, Bless > MAX, Invincible > MAX,
MP Eater > MAX, Teleport > MAX, Holy Arrow > 11

NOTE: If you would like, you can put your 1st point on Heal and save Teleport
till after Heal. However, I suggest 1 point on Teleport for Ludi PQ, which you
(probably) will be doing. If you do not plan on Ludi PQing, I still suggest
your 1st point on Teleport, because Level 1 Heal is useless.

NOTE: If you would like, you can max MP Eater before Teleport. However,
MP Eater isn't very useful as a Party Cleric (really the only reason you
get it is for the lack of something better. If you think Holy Arrow is better
refer to Section 16) because you can't absorb MP from your Party Members.
The reason you get it is because later when you ARE soloing
(which you WILL have to do) it comes in handy. Teleport is far more
useful in this case, but if you feel like maxing MP Eater first, go ahead.

NOTE: If you would like, you can finish off Invincible then max Bless. Because
you are a party cleric, this isn't really a great choice (Bless being a PARTY
skill and Invincible being a SOLO skill...) but it's your character.

In the end, you will end up with:

Heal: 30 (MAX)
MP Eater: 20 (MAX)
Teleport: 20 (MAX)
Invincible: 20 (MAX)
Bless: 20 (MAX)
Holy Arrow: 11

11) Training Spots <2nd Job>

Ok, here it really depends on you. There is more freedom during the second job,
and really where you train depends on your style. There isn't a division
between funded and unfunded because by now you don't max attack skills
earlier or later. I also have not listed locations; really you should now
the world of Maple Story well enough now. Hidden Streets that are hard to
find ARE listed. These spots are based on my experiences and my friend's.
Some of the credit here should go to XxXAmandaXxX (no longer actively plays)
because she helped me with a lot of these spots. Thanks! 

-A Little Note About CPQ:
CPQ, or Monster Carnival Party Quest, is one of the very best sources of
experience from levels 30-50. It's simply amazing. Basically, you get yourself
a party of 2-6 members and kill a ton of monsters for 10 minutes. To give you
an idea of how amazing the EXP is... at the earlier levels of CPQ, win 5 and
you'll level up. I was levelling twice a day and I play for an hour and a half
or 2 hours. There's a guide for it on Hiddden Street too, but the best thing
is to get a friend who knows how and let them teach you - it's easy to learn,
and the EXP is amazing from 30-40. At 40, it slows down, but you also get
"Ranks", and a higher levelled party means a higher rank - which means more EXP
for you! It's the best option from 30-40 if you can find a party, and after 40
it retains its top spot, although a little less OMGWTF than before.

TRAINING SPOTS

Level 30-35

Here you can go two ways. You can either chose Ant Tunnel
(I know, you've been here before), which is my personal favorite,
or Wild Boars. Basically, in the Ant Tunnel you can make use of your new
skill Heal, and you should also OHKO everything that is here. Stick to the 1st
Floor at the bottom. You may want to go to a crowded channel such as Channel 1,
because the spawn rate is much higher. For me boars were slower. Let's do
a tiny bit of math here. If I kill boars (consistently) in 2 hits, that would
mean that I get 42 EXP for 2 hits, 40 MP used. When at Ant Tunnel, I get 84 EXP
for 2 hits, because I can kill Zombie Mushrooms in one hit. I also save MP
because I use 20 MP : 42 EXP rather than 40 MP : 42 EXP. Trust me, Ant Tunnel
is better.

>ANT TUNNEL or WILD BOARS

(I took out LPQ because it just plain sucks compared to CPQ. There is no
other way to describe it).

Levels 35-41

Here you have quite a few choices. Now you should usually OHKO Boars,
making them a fairly good option. If you're sick of them, you can also
try Jr. Wraiths at the 3rd Map right in the Subway. Your heal is a decent
level now, so you shouldn't have too much trouble. You CAN stick with
Ant Tunnel but I don't suggest this. You will be thoroughly bored of it by now.

> JR. WRAITHS

Levels 41-50

Here you have quite a nice option. Zombie Lupins, which give 90 EXP apiece,
are great. You can mob-heal them too, and if you took the Meso build, you'll
have MP Eater by now and you can efficiently drain the lupins' MP. In terms of
where to fight, any old Tree Dungeon will do. Try going into Monkey Forest I,
then going to the bottom and entering the centre tree. Yes you MISS these
occasionally. No it doesn't REALLY matter. As you level, you will notice less
misses. You will level very fast from level 41-44, at which point you will slow
down a little, but not too noticeably. This is a great place because the drops
(Curse Dolls) are also very valued. You can sell them at 200 apiece which can
easily add up. I love this place for its good EXP and money. If you feel it's
getting just too slow at 48 or so, feel free to switch to Wraiths, explained
in the next section.

> ZOMBIE LUPINS

Levels 51-60

Whether you PQed or not, you're on the same path now. Now is when most people
got to Wraiths. Not the Jr.'s like you may have hunted earlier – the big ones.
Their drops are decent and now that your heal is doing good damage they
shouldn't be a problem. During your upper 50's you have another option.
Teleport is maxed out now (if you used the Meso Build) and this can really
help you out. You can easily teleport up and down the Tree Dungeon at Monkey
Forest, and you can 2HKO the Zombie Lupins here, making this a favourable
option after level 58 or so.

Wizet/Nexon will probably come up with many other PQs and I will NOT update
my guide every time they do. Just judge it yourself - personally I love PQ
so I'd do it at most opportunities, but the decision is yours.

> WRAITHS, and later ZOMBIE LUPINS

Level 60-70

Now is Zombies. Yes you will go here past level 70. I know it's boring,
I know there's tons of KSers here. Tough luck. There's a reason that so many
people come here, and that is because it is such good exp at this level.
60 is the very earliest you should come here, just because otherwise
you'll get KSed. If you feel that you're too weak, stick with Wraiths or
Z. Lupins for another 2 or 3 levels. Yes you are level 70.
It is finally time... to become a Priest!

> ZOMBIES

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

12) Becoming a Priest

It is finally time. Journey to El Nath at speak to Robeira at
"Chief Residence". Head back to Vic and talk to your BFF Grendel.
Go to the Door of Dimension, which is at Forest of Evil II. You will end up at
"Path of Glittering Crystal". Be ready for your first real boss, excluding PQ.
You have to fight your (ex) BFF, Grendel. Apparently this is his
Dark Side (...). He isn't all that difficult, but he's pretty beefy, and can
inflict some good damage, so keep on your toes. Remember to acquire
the Black Charm he drops.

Go back to Grendel (the real one) and give him Black Charm. He will then give
you Necklace of Strength. Back in El Nath, give the Necklace to Robeira.
Mosey over to Holy Ground at the Snowfield (Sharp Cliff II). Remember to bring
a Dark Crystal (refined) Answer the 5 (really easy) questions to get
the Necklace of Wisdom.
Back to Robeira... and you're a Priest! You get some nice skills, more MP...
and the mandatory one SP. Where to use it next.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

13) Skill Point Allocation <3rd Job>

Hi! I cannot say that I have experienced being a Priest personally, so
it is with limited information that I delve into this SP Chart. This path is
the one I believe is correct, and the one I will use when I do become a priest.
For those of you who like it in charts... It's (finally?) here! I've made a
chart! .

Thanks to an e-mail from Simon, I realized I had made a mistake in the build
- too many points were put on Dispel. Thanks for noticing
this - it has been changed.

Level 70: +1 Dispel
Level 71: +2 Dispel, +1 Magic Door
Level 72: +3 Holy Symbol
Level 73: +3 Holy Symbol
Level 74: +3 Holy Symbol
Level 75: +3 Holy Symbol
Level 76: +3 Holy Symbol
Level 77: +3 Holy Symbol
Level 78: +3 Holy Symbol
Level 79: +3 Holy Symbol
Level 80: +3 Holy Symbol
Level 81: +3 Holy Symbol (MAX)
Level 82: +3 Shining Ray
Level 83: +3 Shining Ray
Level 84: +3 Shining Ray
Level 85: +3 Shining Ray
Level 86: +3 Shining Ray
Level 87: +3 Shining Ray

Level 102: +3 Elemental Resistance
Level 103: +3 Elemental Resistance
Level 104: +3 Elemental Resistance
Level 105: +3 Elemental Resistance
Level 106: +3 Elemental Resistance
Level 107: +3 Elemental Resistance

Level 109: +3 Dispel
Level 110: +3 Dispel
Level 111: +3 Dispel
Level 112: +3 Dispel
Level 113: +3 Dispel
Level 114: +1 Dispel (MAX), +2 Doom
Level 115: +3 Doom
Level 116: +3 Doom
Level 117: +3 Doom
Level 118: +3 Doom
Level 119: +3 Doom
Level 120: +3 Doom

Basically: Dispel > 3, Magic Door > 1, Holy Symbol > MAX, Summon Dragon > MAX,
Elemental Resistance > MAX, Dispel > MAX, Doom > 20 (You can put these points
into any skill you want).

Like I said before, I wouldn't rely on this 100%. It is, really, a very simple
build, considering it's 3rd job. Just a few rough guidlines to follow.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

14) Training Spots <3rd Job>

Really, most of the training here is up to you. Unlike earleir sections, I
haven't made a list of where to train for every level. Instead I'll list where
to train, and you decide when you want to switch. After level 78+, you will be
partying and PQing, so there isn't a lot in this section to begin with.

First off, you're going to want to finish off your 5 or 6 levels at zombies.
These are the last few levels of solo-ing for a priest, so for all you
hard core solo-ers, this is (sadly) the end.

At level 76, your Holy Symbol is giving good experience and you'll want to
start partying. Find yourself some Dragon Knights or other warriors
(preferably Dragon Knights, because of Hyper Body, a skill that raises HP).
You can let them chose where to go, because it really is their choice. You're
the tag-along, healer and buffer who is the life force of these walking suits
of armor. Dont kill any of them ;).

Really you can decide when you want to Zakum PQ. You will want to be level
100ish to perform it. You'll have maxed Shining Ray and Holy Symbol by now,
so it shouldn't be too tough. Have fun ZPQing, and have a great Priest-hood.
Pianus and Papulatus (and whatever other bosses Wizet manages to come up with
in the future) are yours to conquer if you so wish. Have a good time beating up
anything you want. Good luck!

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

15) Equipment

There isn't really a need for this section, but I'm putting it in for all you
first-timers our there. I hope you enjoy.

Really for the first 15 or so levels, all you need to do is buy what you need
at Ellinia. If you can afford it, I would strongly suggest a Magic Shield at
level 22. Now I'm going to break things down...

Please note: Why I do not list equips that add LUK when you could get one that
adds INT: think about it. If you get an equip that adds LUK, you will not add
into LUK. Instead, where will those points go? INT. If you get a 3 LUK bonus,
in the end it is a 3 INT bonus. When you change equips though, if your new
equip gives less LUK than the previous one, you'll have to add to LUK, and if
you add AP before equipping stuff, this is a serious problem. In adddition,
you'll just have to put LUK back on anyways, so it won't make a difference.
When given the option, I strongly suggest equipment that adds to INT,
because your damage is directly increased.

A(nother) side note: I always prefer to stick with Staffs (staves?) as oppose
to wands, in general. They look better, and it isn't all that meso efficient to
get a new weapon every 2 or 3 levels. You may want to get a Wand at level 48+
but before that all you need is a Staff.
Despite the above, I just realized that Staves are SLOWER than Wands... and
quite noticeably too. I still use staffs, but wands are probably better now.
Sorry if this was already a well-known fact -.-

Level 30+33

Here you're going to want to get a set to reward yourself for becoming
a cleric. A Brown Jester is almost a must, and a CircleWinded staff is
nice as well. MagicShoes are a good buy, you will be keeping these until
level 40. Another thing you may want to get at 33 is a Black Chaos
Robe. You may wish to get a Lutia (glove) but it isn't really worth it.

Level 35+38

Oh... you've gotten past the low 30's, an annoying little section...
you deserve a reward. Get yourself a Matty as well as new gloves (Noel).
You may want to get new shoes, but it's not worth it because 35-40 goes by fast
enough. In terms of overalls, you will DEFINITELY want to get a Dark Starlight
(note that you need 20 fame to wear it. Why, I do not know...) because you
don't get a new one for 10 levels. Don't get the Crystal Wand, it's bloody
expensive, instead get a Petal Staff.

Level 40 (48)

I love these equips - you get a reward here too! You'll want to update your
whole inventory now. New hat (Guiltian; preferably white), Gloves (Dark Arten,
a nice INT bonus), Shoes (Dark Moon Shoes) and a Hall Staff. In addition, get
Blue Moons and scroll them with 100% Earring INT x 5. It only costs 175kish,
and you get a nice 5matk bonus. Don't get Pansy Earrings at 45, they're ugly
anyways. You will want to get a decently scrolled Cromi because you aren't
getting anything else for 7 levels.

From here on in, you really can do it yourself. Get yourself a nice level
50 set. If you get a really good one it can add up to 15 INT, which is a wicked
bonus. Here on in get what you can really afford. You should be manually
scrolling your Staffs/Wands from levels 55 and up, or buying them pre-scrolled.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

16) FAQs, Skill Details, Etc.

Here is the reasoning behind all of my Skill Builds, along with a FAQ
(mostly on skills). Some good stuff here (my fave section). Please read!

A little side note: I know I say "Monsters with *Blank* Attack" and Monsters
in Maple Story don't always have a set attack (do they...wow I don't know
enough about this game as I should). Anyways, it's only for demonstrative
purposes.

SECTION I - Magic Armor, etc.

-Why don't I get Magic Armor?

The reason is because it becomes useless after a certain amount of levels.
Magic Armor gives a 40 DEF Bonus when maxed. Let's say you're level 20,
and you're training on a monster that has 50 Attack. The monster will do
significantly less damage to you. However, once you start leveling, the skill
becomes less and less useful. At level 30, you're fighting a monster with 250
Attack, and 40 less isn't all that much. At level 40, you'll fight monsters
with over 400 attack, and Magic Armor isn't going to do anything. There are
1st Job skills that are much more useful.

-Well then, what's so much better about Invincible? Isn't it the same thing?

No. When Invincible is maxed, it gives a 30 PERCENT Weapon Damage Decrease.
This way, whether you are fighting a 200 Attack Monster or a 10,000 Attack
Monster, the decrease will still be significant. This skill is useful, and
it stays that way throughout your Cleric/Priest life.

SECTION II - Holy Arrow

-Why don't I get Holy Arrow?

Well, I will tell you why. The normal cleric training path goes like so
(whether you refer to my guide or not): Ant Tunnel > Jr. Wraiths
> Zombie Lupins > Wraiths > Zombies. At NO POINT IN THAT PATH do you EVER
fight a monster that is susceptible to holy, but not Heal. Holy Arrow is
completely useless, especially because by the time you get it, you'll almost
be a priest, and Shining Ray, with a better BA when at level 11 than Holy Arrow
is when maxed, is far better.

SECTION III - Bless

-If I didn't get Magic Armor because it wasn't percentage, then why am I
getting Bless, which isn't percentage either?

I know, I used to think the same way too. You do not get bless for the
Weapon Defense or Magic Defense; you do not get for YOU. You get it for the DKs
and other warriors that you will be partying with later on. They need that
accuracy that Bless gives.

SECTION IV - Teleport

- Why do I max Teleport?

The reason is this. You will use Teleport throughout your life; it will never
become useless or overshadowed by another skill. Teleport, when at level 1,
uses 60 MP, and while at level 20, uses 13 MP. It is so necessary to max this
skill, otherwise you will be using MP 5 times faster. It's a HUGE MP saver,
almost (or surpassing, depending on your style) MP Eater in how much MP
you will save.

Please remember, additional questions, please contact me in game
or email me (listed at top).

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

17) Suggestions Corner

You may have noticed that I already have one of these in my assassin guide -
unfortunately it's not very full at all. This guide still seems to get WAY more
suggestions, so I thought it'd be better if I did this.
I meant this as a section you just read through, so I'm not going to categorize
them in anyway right now (they're in the order in which they appeared in my
guide). If you feel there's a better way, feel free to e-mail me (contact at
the top).

Also note that I did capitalize/correct some words, but I kept the same meaning
so don't worry about that. Also stopped listing e-mails, instead just names.
I don't want these people getting the spam I get -.-

-SurfieRox833: You should advise people to stay at training camp until level
4-5 at least. It will take about 15 minutes to level from 1-5 there and you
can't die either making things much easier and the monsters in training camp
die with 2-3 hits for a mage while the ones on Maple Island take at least 5-15+
shots since you are only able to do about 1-2 damage on them.

-Anonymous: When you are level 7+, travel to Lith Harbor and answer a number
of questions from a guy on the right hand side (Olaf). This gives you a certain
amount of exp and you get a quest. To finish this quest, just talk to the
Grendel the Really Old. Careful on this quest, as if you do it at Level 8 and
80%, you'll probably level up to 9 before advancing, which would NOT be good.

-Marks: When my friend tried to use the MAX MP build he only got 9 MP extra so
I don't think it's worth it.

-Joey: If your a funded mage, level 8 to 13 is a great place to train in the
slime tree. Near levels 14 to 17, I trained at the Pig Beach. Finally, I
trained at the Mushroom Dungeon in Ellinia (with the horny and green mushrooms)
until level 20 before switching to the Ant Tunnel. If you're funded, leveling
up should be much faster, and you wouldn't use too much pots either.
I personally used about 300 orange potions and mana elixirs, which
isn't a lot for the funded.

-Garrett: Have you tried leveling in Ant Tunnel at level 18? I was able to
train there quickly and easily with the level 15 equips and not
many potions, and on my own.

-Elliot: Third job clerics go REALLY well with Dragon Knights, but I've
just experimented and found out second job clerics do too. If a cleric wants to
power-level and he has a Dragon Knight friend who's willing to help,
he's in a lot of luck thanks to this new patch, which makes clerics gain
EXP from healing. You'll need max Heal for this, or close. Have your DK spam
Dragon Roar on a small map, which will make him lose huge amounts of HP. You
spam heal to recover him. My DK friend is lvl 134, I am 46, and in addition
to the minor experience from the enemies, (I got 20+2 party xp per Panda he
killed,) I got roughly 60 xp every time I recovered my friend from his
Dragon Roar, which was basically every two seconds. In I think a half hour
I gained 25% experience, which for lvl 46 is not half bad.
At my level a full Ludi PQ will get you maybe 6-8% in 45 minutes or so, so this
is much better.

-SurfieRox833: You should mention that you can either Orbis PQ or Ludi Maze
PQ. Orbis Smug PQ is faster, but if you want to Maze PQ, feel free. They both
give quite good exp. The only bad thing about Ludi Maze PQ is that the exp you
get ranges from 0-15000+ exp per 7 mins or so if you only do rooms 6 and 7.
However, Orbis PQ assures you that you will get 21000 exp every 11 mins or so.
So in the end, Orbis Smug PQ turns out to be better. The bad thing is that
Orbis Smug PQ will probably be patched with the next patch.

-Sanyishka: Ludi Maze PQ Runs usually take 1-2 minutes to complete when you
do just rooms 6 and 7. If you're in a slow group runs are still under
5 minutes. On average I get 7500 xp per round. Getting 0 xp is VERY RARE.
I've lost count of the times I've gotten 15,000 xp in a round, but I've
only received 0 exp twice. So really, expect to get between 2,500-15,000
xp every 1-2 minutes. Seriously.

-Yoshimichi: I was just reading your guide, and I have some Priest training
suggestions.
70~73 Continue Zombies
74~78 DT's, even without HS warriors are still begging for you to come with
them.
78~83 MDT's with a DK that can kill rather fast is about 15~20% an hour.
84~100 Heres the real freedom. You can either start at gobies, which is
extremely good exp, or you could go to spirit vikings and squids. Recommend
Gobies though.
100~120 I've heard that Grim Phantom Watches are nowhere near as good exp as
gobies are, so you either stay their or find a party at those new undead
monsters all the way at the end of Mu Lung.

-BawangLover: So I tried out your max mp build and just from getting from lvl 9
to 10 was driving me insane. I thought I would never reach it. Then I realized
I actually had a way around not having bolt. From lvl 9 on I just spammed
three snail shell skill from beginer's book. I had maxed it lvl 3 and then just
began hording red shells, as well as asking people for their spares. For the
most part, it deals 40 dmg per shot which is enough to easily farm again
slimes. My suggestion is just farm acctual red snails with it for a while
and move on when you want to. It made the process so much easier and
acctually made the little extra you get worth it.

-Loopiez: Around level 18 or 19, Magicians can start making their way out
of Orange Mushrooms and towards "Over The Wall". You should know that Over
The Wall can be reached by going into the middle of the three doors in The Land
Of Wild Board 1. You can find Stumps, Axe Stumps, Dark Stumps and Dark Axe
Stumps. It's not a very big map, and the experience : # of hits it takes to
kill ratio is quite good, for me at least. I breezed through my late 1x's
over here.
Once you hit 20, instead of sticking to Ant Tunnel or pig beach., you can also
head to Dungeon, Southern Forest IV, the famous Horny/Green mushroom dungeon.
Each should take around 2-3 hits to kill. Another option is to head to Shanghai
via the world tour guide for 3,000 mesos and go after Roosters and Ducks. The
experience is around the same as Horny Mushrooms, and they have some
awesome drops as well.
At level 25 or 26, I tend to head towards PQing alot, but I get bored and head
back to *sigh* Ant Tunnel. The new Excavation Sites show that Wooden and Rocky
Masks are and EXCELLENT source of income. The drops are brilliant, the best
I've seen in an under - 30 monster. More adventurous late 2x's can head to Aqua
Road for some Masked Fish and Krips. These two are known for being the bearers
of the Petal Staff and Circle-Winded staff respectively. 26 onwards are some of
the funnest times in your Maple Career, because as Magicians you are recognised
as being the strongest 1st -jobbers and thus your opportunities are endless.

Another thing I would like to suggest is this interesting build I followed a
couple of times. I like to think of it as a build for the "semi-funded".
Basically, you Max out Max MP increase as always, then put seven points into
Magic Claw, Max out MP Recovery, Max out Claw, then Magic Guard.
It's basically to help speed the 1x's.

-SecksyDemon: At slime tree and in ant tunnel 1 (and probably other places),
there are weakened bosses that are worth it to kill. They're not that hard
and they drop cakes which sell for about 2k each. I got to 2mil from them,
and i didn't kill many, because they drop so much.
--Note: SecksyDemon plays MapleSEA - these bosses may not be out in Global yet.

-Yue:I have another way to build up a priest, this only work if you have a lot
of high level "trainers" to level you. Personally, I have 1 lvl 120+ DK, 2 lvl
110+ sader and a lvl 100 ice mage to lvl me, also a handful of random trainers
from guild, so I don't need to kill anything >.< basically. OK, back to topic,
for me I lvl HS to lvl 20 first, since it give 140% exp for party at lvl 20,
and only add 1% each lvl after it, so lvl 20 is ok for start. Then go for
Elemental Resistance, add it to lvl 10, since it decrease 30% of mdmg at lvl
10, and only add 2% ea lvl after lvl 10. In this way its much easier to start
training at gobies at lvl 80, the exp is godly there for lvl 80 priest, I did
around 15~20%/hr most of the time, and if they kill faster it's around 25%/hr,
which is really nice. And those 30% less mdmg save me a lot of money! With a
nice skill of hidden from the att of horse and bone fish, it only cost around
100 mp pots a lvl (I use 60% mana from NLC). And for lvl 80~90 max HS then ER,
coz at lvl 90 you can start to train at himes. After that max SR > Dragon >
Dispel > Door(or Doom). And by lvl 105 I think you can start at Jr.Nest at
leafer. That's my way of training, just for the suggestion.

AznAriez: You should try monster carnival when your level 30~50.

Rank          Win Exp           Lose Exp
  A           30,000            10,000
  B           25,500            8,500
  C           21,000            7,000
  D           7,000             1,000

While your fighting, you can earn maple story mesos.  You can exchange
them for great rewards.

Myrakio: noticed that you mentioned we should max SR after HS, but that
isn't necessary. Unless your planning to be a solo priest in the later levels,
SR isn't necessary until 10X areas. I suggest maxing Elemental Resistance
instead after HS, because it will save you pots and save you from dying where
it be of training with DK's/sins/etc. Most high-leveled monsters you train on
with a DK/sin/etc. will have magic attack, so ER would effectively negate some
damage done from that. (Except for Himes/Dreamy ghosts where ER isn't necessary
because there magical attack is actually physical.) Anywho, a quick summary is
that SR can be maxed after ER, because most of the time your going to be
following around a person of higher leveled healing and HSing them.

Maze69: From lvs 76-82 you should go to MDTs with a dk that use a spear not
pole arms(spear is much stronger)
u can also go to squids and train with a sniper/ranger-even without max hs
theyr always happy to party a priest because u can heal them
82-95 u should be at gobis-try to get a party with at list 1 dk for hb- you
lose alot less potions, and if the attakers are less than lvs 140 u should have
4 atakers in your party u can get around 30% an hr at lv 82
at lv 95 u should go to himes with a DK-himes are at mushroom shrine and the
monsters are called dreamy ghost they give around 3.5kexp wich is alot it works
the same as mdt only thr spawn is ALOT better
in order for u to train at himes u need a dk for hb and u need max invincble,
max element resitance. himes are the best exp u can get until lv 120 where u
become a Bishop and u can go to leafre and own any map with genesis if u can
find a 4th job mage with maz blizzard than gobis are sti good exp as the
mage can breake the goby houses of half the map with 1 blizzard and kill the
gobis with the next blizzard.

WazuStrife (Khaini): At level 11+, you should buy your armour from lith
harbour. It gives you more weapon defense than mage equipment. I myself am
level 26 and still use it, though at what level you should switch to mage
armour is up to you; when you start fighting enemies that use magic attacks
instead of physical is the most viable. At level 25 or so there is a starry
bandana available in the Kerning city armour store. This gives 18 weapon
defense, a significant amount more than mage caps.
--
At level 70 until a bit later Priests may want to try windraiders with some
friends; the leech exp is great, and windraiders is an excellent spot for a
healer; repotting and getting back there can be trouble for some, substantially
enough that they will give up a bit of experience. The good thing about this
place is the terrain isn't as dull as some other maps, so for those who
absent-mindedly jump about sometimes it's a bore breaker. On the subject of
jumping, if you fall off the map you get teleported back to the (easy) second
part of the jump quest. To avoid this, spam any potions whilst you're falling
and you will be teleported to the map entrance.

LightCelbi: I think you should add in V/Hoodoos I am doing that from 55 to
probably 70.
Then another good training spot from 60-70 is Master Soul Teddy and Soul Teddy.
If people get sick of Wraiths then they can go to Ludi and train on Master
Chronos I liked the set-up of the map alot better and now with the jump down
you don't have to waste mp on teleporting down.

JJ:From levels 20-30 for all classes, the quests in Ariant give REALLY good
experience. The monsters there aren't bad either.

CaptainEagle: Have you tried training at Henesys PQ from level 10-20? i was
able to level quickly with a few friends and without many potions. Its hard to
get accepted however from 10-15, but if you have problems just make your own.
It works well and its often empty.
