[Asthe]

Oh my...

How did such

a young Acolyte

manage to reach

this remote place?

This convent is always quiet and peaceful. Sitting on the benches and feeling the almighty presense all around you is such a relaxing, meditative experience.

Priest Praupin?

He's a very kind man

who's always thinking

about others. So he's

sent you to me for training?

Before we begin,

why don't you rest

for a little bit? You must be tired after traveling all the way here. When you're ready, just come

see me, okay?

This castle, Saint Capitolina Convent, is a beautiful and peaceful place that brings

calm to any heart.

Well then...

Shall we begin

the lessons?

have you thought about what kind of Acolyte you would like to become? It's very important that you plan for the future that you want.

Ah, you have such

a generous heart!

Healing the pain of others and supporting your comrades in battle. You must have become an Acolyte in order to become a Priest.

Priests have great supportive abilities and the power to battle evil. They use weapons to battle monsters like other fighters, but are forbidden from using blades.

We call those who use their fists as tools of divine punishment Monks. They deliver our message

of love and peace in a more... colorful manner.

But the path towards becoming

a Monk will require great patience and self-restraint. You'll often see Monks training their minds

and bodies throughout the land.

Well, you still have a long way to go. The best thing to do would be to take your time planning and consider your future seriously.

Now,

What do you think

is the most necessary

skill for an Acolyte?

Ah, yes.

Heal is a basic, yet important skill for people like us. It can recover your own health as

well as that of others.

Aqua Benedicta blesses

normal water and turns it into Holy Water. This is an important skill, but not considered one of the essentials that all Acolytes

should know.

In my opinion,

Heal is the most important

skill that an Acolyte can learn. It's a special ability that can save others and defeat the

monsters borne of darkness.

Teleport allows you to instantly move to another place. It is a great skill, but it's difficult to consider it necessary for all Acolytes.

Heal is the most important skill that an Acolyte can learn. It's a special ability that can save others and defeat the

You can use the holy power

in the Heal skill to attack Undead monsters (Shift + Heal). The light of truth protects the righteous and destroys the wicked.

Just gather the

strength within your

heart into your hands...

HEAL !!

I would like to give you an assignment, but what do you

think? I believe learning the basics is your most important

task for now.

Well then, learn

the Heal skill up to

Level 3 and then

return to me.

Your strength is undeveloped,

so fight weaker monsters for now.

I will lend you a Mace from the church, so use it well and return it when you're done, alright?

First start fighting monsters around each town such as Prontera. It'd be more convenient to fight the monsters here, but they might be too strong for you right now.

I'll change your Save Point so that you will respawn in the convent. Once you've learned Level 3 Heal, you can use a Butterfly Wing to return here.

You can also speak to Priest Praupin at the Prontera Church

and he will send you back here.

He takes special care in helping young Acolytes.

Well then,

I hope you

have a safe trip.

Oh my!

You've already

learned how to

properly use the

Heal skill. Very good!

I believe you're

ready for me to discuss

the next subject. Now,

let's see... Hmm...

Welcome back~

I see that you've

completed the assignment

already. Good work!

Now, I would like to have the Mace back, if you don't mind.

By any chance, do you carry any other Mace with an elemental Property?

If so, please store the mace somewhere first.

I am afraid that my sight is too bad to distinguish the difference...Hoho.

Would you like me to take the mace away from your inventory now?

Okay, no problem.

Please make sure that you do not carry any Mace with an elemental Property.

Thank you so much.

You have returned the Mace.

completed the assignment.

But you must have forgotten the Mace I've lent you. Would you bring it back so that I can return it to the church?

Are you having

a hard time training

to learn Level 3 Heal?

Please don't be discouraged.

The basics are crucial to gaining mastery of the more advanced skills that you'll learn later. Just keep in mind that all of your efforts and suffering will become glory

and happiness.

I suppose I can tell you a little more about the Acolyte job. You already know that Novices must train and go to Prontera Church to become an Acolyte, your First Job Class.

After you become an Acolyte

at Job Level 40, you will have the opportunity to change to a more specialized Second Job Class.

When changing

to the Second Jobs,

Acolytes can become Priests,

the apostles of mercy, or Monks

who carry out God's wrath.

Priests and Monks can

change to the Transcendent Class

by visiting Valkyrie in Valhalla. Priests can become High Priests and Monks can become Champions.

Did you undertand all that?

Ho ho ho~ No need to try to remember everything right now. You'll get the hang of it.

I just received this letter, but it seems to have been a mistake.

It's actually addressed

to Priest Gardron.

However, I'm a little busy with

my work right now, so would you deliver this to Priest Gardron in the next building for me?

Would you please

deliver this letter

to Priest Gardron for me?

You can find him in the

building nearby.

You went to

Blessing!

Now I'm going to teach you

about Blessing. This is a holy skill that delivers the blessing of God. Blessing will temporarily raise STR,INT,DEX and remove Curse.

Like Heal,

Blessing can be used

against Undead monsters.

(SHIFT + Blessing)

Blessing will actually

place a curse on the Undead.

Blessing can be learned after you learn Level 5 Divine Protection. That's the skill that will increase your resistance to damage from Undead and Demon monsters.

Being able to serve God and

bless others with his glory is a great honor. Well, that's all for this lesson.

Oh, yes...!

In the cemetary northwest

of here, I've been taking care of a lost dog. Right now, it's time to feed him.

Sorry for the hassle,

but would you go and

feed the dog for me?

Sister Asthe gives

you some dog food.

How to expel

an evil spirit?

Why, it's the same

way that you would

remove a curse...

Ah...

I believe

this is a test

given to you by God.

You already

know the answer.

Think carefully

and it will come.

You remember that

you can learn Divine

Protection after learning

Blessing, right?

When you open the

Skill Window, you'll see that you can also learn Demon Bane and Angelus, depending on your level of Divine Protection.

Now, Demon Bane increases your Attack Strength against Undead and Demon monsters, so it's useful for those of us who serve God by expelling evil.

Once you have learned Level 3 Demon Bane, you can learn Signum Crucis which decreases the defense of the targeted Undead or Ghost monster.

Angelus increases the defense in your party, including yourself. It is affected by the VIT stat, so the higher your VIT, the better it works.

That's about it

for Divine Protection.

Let's take a break before

we proceed to the next lesson,

alright? I'll be right here.

Now it's time

for your next lesson.

Let's talk about the

Increase AGI skill which is

part of the Heal skill tree.

You can learn Increase AGI after you learn Level 3 Heal. True to its name, Increase AGI temporarily increases the agility (AGI) of its target.

Increase AGI

also increases

Dodge Rate,

Attack Speed,

and Movement Speed.

Try it for

yourself, okay?

Once you learn

Level 1 Increase AGI,

you can begin learning

Decrease AGI.

Like you'd expect, Decrease AGI slows down enemies, reducing their agility, Movement Speed, Dodge Rate and Attack Speed. Its effect is the exact reverse of Increase AGI.

The last skill in the Heal skill tree is Cure. You can learn Cure after learning Level 2 Heal.

Cure can remove irregular

statuses like Silence, Curse,

and Stone Curse. When used on Undead monsters, Cure will

actually curse them.

For now, don't forget that the Increase AGI, Decrease AGI and

Cure skills can only be learned

by learning the Heal skill.

You've been learning

really quickly. I'm glad

that we've gotten to this

point already.

Once you become

an Acolyte, you can

learn the Ruwach skill.

Ruwach is used to detect hidden enemies. Mages have a similar skill called Sight, but only it can only detect enemies. Ruwach will simultaneously detect and

damage hidden enemies.

After you have learned Ruwach,

you can learn Teleport. Teleport will instantly send you to a random spot on the map or to your Save Point.

After learning Level 2 Teleport, you can learn Warp Portal which will allow you to warp to a Memo Point, or saved destination, by consuming 1 Blue Gemstone.

Once you have mastered Warp Portal you can remember three Memo Points. You can't save Memo Points in most fields or dungeons, but you can use the /memo command in

towns and certain fields.

Was that confusing?

Just think that Teleport

and Warp Portal allow servants

of God to move swiftly from place

to place.

I have my home and the convent saved as Memo Points, so I simply warp back and forth between work and home.

Now...

The last skill

of the Ruwach tree

is called Pneuma.

Pneuma shields characters

within a 3*3 block, or a 9 cell area, from long range attacks. If you party with Archers or other Bow users, be careful since you might accidentally block their attacks.

There are some Undead monsters

that can attack from a distance, so protecting yourself with Pneuma and attacking with Heal would be a good strategy.

Now, we've covered some

pretty complicated material in this lesson. Would you like to hear this again?

Alright,

give me a moment

to catch my breath~

Ho ho!

What a smart Acolyte~

Oh dear...!

All of these things were delivered to me by accident! And some of these packages were supposed to

be sent to the Prontera Sanctuary!

Would you do another favor for me again? Please distribute the mail here and to Prontera Church since

I simply don't have the time.

It seems that some of these are more urgent than others, so would you please deliver them in a certain order?

The first is a package to a worker in the north. His name is Veiner. The next delivery is for Hedrick, who's near the convent entrance.

The third one is from the Blacksmith Guild to the Blacksmith who makes weapons and armor for Monks. The fourth delivery goes to Priest Karven in the next building.

Oh, and this last delivery is a receipt for Priest Praupin, the priest who told you about me.

Here you go, the letters and packages...

Oh...!

You don't seem to

have enough space

to carry everything.

Why don't you put some of your things in Kafra Storage first?

Okay, don't

forget the order

in which you need

to deliver the letters

and packages. That's

very important.

Oh, and this last delivery is a receipt for Priest Praupin, the priest who told you about me. Alright, have a safe trip~

Ah, you're finishing

making all of those deliveries? Thank you very much! How was it meeting Priest Praupin after such

a long time?

We make relationships with other people throughout our lives and our memories of them live on in our hearts, you know.

When you feel lonely, let those memories shine through your dark gloom. Just thinking about the people you care about can heal your emotional wounds when times are rough.

Those who can cherish the present can form lasting relationships. They're the first who will embrace happiness in the future. Remember that.

I get the feeling that you have become a good friend to Priest Praupin. I hope that Priest Praupin continues to be a good friend to you as well.

Alright then,

the next time we

meet, I will give

you my final lesson.

I will teach you

about is Aqua Benedicta.

Water is so commonplace that

we forget that it's at the center of nature. It's very basic, but essential.

Place the water into a cup like so and focus all of your holy energy like this... And then...

Aqua

Benedicta!

This is how you create Holy Water. Remember that your feet must be touching water in order to use the Aqua Benedicta skill.

Ho ho~

Well, that's all

I have to teach you.

It may have been rough,

but you did a good job.

Oh! If you go back to the Prontera Sanctuary, I believe you can learn a secret skill. It couldn't hurt to stop by and check.

Well, please don't forget what I've taught you. I hope you look back with fondness at our time together amongst these beautiful flowers. May God bless you~

If you get into an

argument with someone,

talk it over while sharing

a nice, warm meal.

With such warm delicious food in your body, all angry feelings will melt away like the snow.

I'm not joking!

If you happen to get in a fight with someone close to you, this might help. I'm speaking from life experience, you know.
