Hey! Gyl here! You guys might know me but anyway that doesn't matter. I've
been an average FAQ writer(I think) and am actually be writing one for a
long time already so it won't be a matter if you're hoping to find the guide
as useful as it would be. I've been trying to bring out the best in every
guide I create and I'm hoping that you not only find the guide comprehensive
but at the same time entertaining. Entertaining to a point that you won't
feel tired of reading them and just keep reading at the same time. The guide
is created for you to freely move around yourself. I won't be ordering you
to do this or do that but merely suggestions as to at least beat a
level/boss/stage/something. BTW, if you've seen my other guides this one
would be fairly different as I'll be using a new way like adding quotes
appropriate to the theme of the part you're reading.
I must warn you before playing, Ragnarok Online is a very addiciting game
though at first you might notice that it's a sensless-hack-and-slash type of
game with no real story line or quests to be taken to be as its backbone.
I must also warn you that if you're not that good with scheduling or managing
your time then you should leave as the game will suck a portion of your
social life if you let it consume you. The game is fairly fun perhaps the
interaction with other people is its charm. Anyway, this guide is designed
not to tackle the whole game itself but would basically be dealing with the
Battle Acolyte build. Why you ask? Basically, people are fond of acolytes as
their walking red potions and they're better of behind the party sitting or
waiting for his/her turn to cast healing/supportive spells. What I'm trying
to do is to create a guide that'll give players an idea to how they should
be raising their acolytes if they wishes to follow this build. Anyway, this
stuff should be on another topic...
ByTheWay: Until the 2-2 alternate job class are implemented I'll only be
focusing onto a battle priest.
Let's roll...

August 27, 2003 (08.27.03) Version 1
------------------------------------
- It's basically what the FAQs is composed of.
September 4, 2003 (09.04.03) Version 1.4
----------------------------------------
The following sections contains an updated:
- Stat/Skill Builds
- Party to choose
- Advantages/Disadvantages
- PvP hints/tips
- Monster Flee Chart
September 8, 2003 (09.08.03) Version 2
--------------------------------------
I was about to come up with a list of skills for certain builds but I
somehow messed up with the planning and all. Anyway a couple of
updates here: I removed the Advantages/Disadvantages section since I
found it worthless as I've already stated them in either on intros or
on some comments the whole lenght of the guide.
September 10, 2003 (09.10.03) Version 2.1
-----------------------------------------
Added a couple more informations or revised comments on certain parts.
Also check out a couple more updates here like corrected a build and
I'm already starting on a Luck based Battle Acolyte that'll master the
art of critical/perfect dodge and deal off with the Undead with the
"Turn Undead" Spell. Overall, simply a few added stuffs and am already
aiming for more updates.
September 13, 2003 (09.13.03) Version 3
---------------------------------------
Another update! I've finally completed the stat builds and added a Luck Type
build as requested. I'm not sure with the build to work 100% correct but
I think it's currently one of the best Luck based BA build. Anyway, I've also
added the skill build/list categorized under different builds as well. I'm
still currently accepting any forms of submissions that has something to do
with the Battle Acolyte job-style. I also stripped the shout-out at the last
part. I also added the end stats. Check out the credit section for the
Stats calculator I've used. BIG UPDATE! I also corrected some uncalculated
builds ^_^
September 17, 2003 (09.17.03) Version 3.2
-----------------------------------------
I just added another new way to level up it's the Card Hunting Leveling Guide
which aims to acquire/try to acquire certain cards while at the same time
leveling up. The section is outlined to focus on what card you should be
aiming for and at the same time leveling/earn experience from that excercise.
Other than that there are no other updates.
September 29, 2003 (09.29.03) Version 3.5
-----------------------------------------
Another little update. Just added a contributed Skill Build. I tweaked a
couple. BTW, I'm aiming for the Monk skill list at the same time get my
self ready for a long day of work for a correct Monk Skill Tree.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
* E-Mail/Contacts Policy -
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Why'd I suddenly summon a E-Mail/Contacts Policy section? Simply to
categorize every mail that I've been recieving from those that are possibly
either a Virus or something bad. I would suggest you follow the following
things below so as to quickly get a reply off the day or two after you
mailed me. Yes! I'm that quick on replying mails as I don't want my Inbox
to be so filled and to make my browser go faster when checking things out.
Anyway here are the list of Do's and Don'ts doing something that is on
either the Do's/Don'ts list will seriously affect the odds of you getting
a reply so I suggest you follow them as simple rules are applied.

nicely and I'll reply ASAP.
6. You must label your mail with the game title whether a submission or a

for questions or inquiries).

*- Introduction to Battle Acolytes -*
*-                                 -*
Battle Acolyte - A term used to refer on people who had take up to be
the divine protector of god but at the same time be on the front line along
side swordsman and thieves a like. They are well versed with melee combat
and is top-notch when facing the undead. They are those who wouldn't be
needing any help from others as they could take care of the problem if not
they always have an option to warp out of it. Though their weapons and
armors might not be good enough compared to other melee fighters, they
compensate this weakness with the variety of supportive spells they could
cast upon them not to mention their ability to heal themselves. Battle
Acolytes are starting to be more popular around the world of midgard as the
aticipation of the Monk Class arises though being a Battle Priest still has
it's edge against all.
Battle Acolytes are designed for killing. They could bash their way against
monsters and still maintain a full bar of HP afterwards. Though the idea of
being a battle acolyte isn't worth it as you can always be a support
acolyte and heal bomb your way till level 99, being one is fairly fun. As I
agree to my fellow players who are more inclined with thieves/swordies with
their melee skills I've tested other jobs and ended up with Acolytes as 3rd
of the best melee fighters in Midgard.
*-                -*
*- Acolyte Basics -*
*-                -*
Acolytes, god's divine knights.
Acolytes are one of the most sought for job in RO. As one party with an
acolyte in it would find themselves non-stop hack and slashing through
mobs or enemies for hours. We are the core of every good party. Anyway,
Acolytes favors fighting the undead as they're well equiped with skills
to fend them off. Though they may look to be shabby they could really be
one of the best melee fighter in Rune-Midgard. They could compensate for
their lack of Battle Skills with their Supportive Spells making them ride
the wind with thieves and swordsmen. The only draw back on choosing to be
an acolyte is the weapon selection. Acolytes could only use clubs and their
fists to deal damage. Until then we'll be only as powerful as a 5 or 10
levels less swordsman or thief.
Acolytes has an option to turn into a Priest or a Monk.
Priests are a higher version of Acolytes as they'll be having more spells
at their disposal and a great SP recovery rate that'll make them go nuts
with their spells. Monks on the other hand are the exact opposite of priests.
They are great melee fighters trained to be the protector of the Church.
Using only their fists, they could dish out damages as much as a swordsman
can do. Though there are 2 options after reaching job level 40. Taking one
over another
So you finally wanted to become an acolyte?
To become an Acolyte you simply visit the Prontera Church and talk to the
Clergy there. He will give you a task. This will be your pilgrimage to
becoming an acolyte. He'll give you one of three pilgrimage and you must
succeed and be back with out dying. After that, you'll be an acolyte. I must
warn you again, the reason why some would fear being an acolyte is the reason
that the pilgrimage itself is tough. As you'll be going through high-leveled
maps simply to see a monk/priest/nun. After completing all that congratulate
yourself then as you've just completed one of the toughest job assignment
there is.
Priest only requires you to be job level 40 or higher to change into one.
Simply return to the Prontera Church and they'll appoint you as one. Easy?
Also keep in mind that we are only able to equip clubs in our job so
affording blades or anything other than clubs/rods will simply fall in vain.

"To be human is to know the fear of death, yet keep on fighting."
-- Gau Ban, Shadow Skill.
Simply to put it: "It's fun", "You'll be original", and "You'll prove people
that acolytes aren't just designed to be on the backline watching".
Battle Acolytes aren't boring characters. Unlike being a supportive acolyte
you simply have to wait for a party or form one of your own to level up.
B.Acos don't have to wait or organize one as they are better of leveling
solo not to mention the fact that they coul actually be successful doing so.
Isn't a swordsman in an acolyte body cool ^_^. Leave them mezmerize with how
you deal with those monsters.
Seriously, being a B.A. will make you utilize your support spells for your
own slowly using your own spell to be your advantage over others. Battle
Acolytes, unlike melee jobs are free of the cost of redz or carrots since
they'll just have to sit for a couple of while for their SP to be relieved.
Spells like Blessing, Agility Up, etc... are fearsome support spell. They
could really turn tides for you and think about leveling solo on tough areas.
With a high leveled spells like that you'll be powerleveling your way
through areas other melee characters can't. The stats bonuses would also
make you look like 5 to 10 levels tougher.

-- Koinosuke, Jubei-chan
STR - Strenght
AGI - Agility
VIT - Vitality
DEX - Dexterity
INT - Intelligence
LUK - Luck
STR - affects on character's physical attack strength. Also it enlarges
character's weight limit so the character can carry more items.
AGI - is deeply involved with the nibleness of character. AGI increases
flee rate of character and attack speed of weapons.
VIT - affects on the defence/health of character. VIT increases the defence
of character so it enables the character to deal with less damage
taken from enemies.And it increases the maximum amount of HP and the
speed of HP recovery.
DEX - affects on character's accuracy rate when attack or the use of weapon.
It increases average attack strength of weapons, especially the attack
strength of bows get more affected by DEX.Besides it reduces miss when
attack,also does the magical skill casting time.
INT - is deeply involved with the magical ability of character. INT
increases Magical attack strength/defence and regist against magics.
LUK - It means the fortune of character, affects on various situations.
Besides, the rate of critical attack and perfect dodge are both
affected by LUK.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
* Stats/Skill Builds -
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
* NOTE * The Final Result is calculated with the Acolyte Class only.
e.i. the MaxHP shown below differs/is pumped up once you change job class
a based level 99 Acolyte should only have 4994HP compared to the Priest's
8k. So there, basically the HP/SP doubles once you've changed class.
* NOTE 2 * Until the Monk job isn't out (in pRO) I'll simply be putting up
skill build for Acolyte only. Priests' skill build wouldn't be found here
but I'll try to create one.
* NOTE 3 * Also, you may found the 2nd part of the Final Stats to be
inaccurate as I've only calculated the base level. Though the effect would
only be on the recovery part by 30-50%.

Weight: 4830
SP recovery standing:0.15 SP/sec
SP recovery sitting: 0.3 SP/sec
Time to full SP recovery 1980 sec
HP healed per red pot 59~147
Comments: This build is designed to take the beating. A fairly tough build
with a decent healing ability. Though the Vit/Str combination may not be
good enough for certain monsters as you'll still recieve big damage but with
the INT on you can heal it back anyway. You'll love this build if you like
showing off to people that you can easily fend off mobs or like shock people
how little damage you take. Though this sometimes isn't good as that of
swordies as acolytes could only equip limited equipments.
Gambler's Build

Weight:3900
SP recovery standing:0.19 SP/sec
SP recovery sitting: 0.38 SP/sec
Time to full SP recovery 1823 sec
HP healed per red pot 59~147
Comments: The Gambler's Build is fairly a nice way to be a really-really bad
assed Turn Unead Specialist as well as dodging and dealing off critical
blows. I'm not sure how famous a Lucked BA is but I've already recieved like
5 or so mails for one. Anyway, if you'll be following this build you should
expect to be leveling up on the undead even more. Atleast this' makes a good
build to be leveling or go soloing on Ghast Heim's Graveyard. Though you
should really be patient with things. The High Vit is to make you tough
enough to stand in mobs but then again hasn't AGI affects spell casting time?
You could choose from pumping VIT or AGI though.
Speed Based Build
-----------------
"In the words of my idol Bruce Lee, to win, you must be fast."

Weight:4770
SP recovery standing:0.17 SP/sec
SP recovery sitting: 0.34 SP/sec
Time to full SP recovery 1891 sec
HP healed per red pot 30~74
Comments: I myself ain't fond of Agility Builds. Leveling this build up
to acolyte job is really tough though I assure you that at the later part
you'll be dodging and bashing your enemies all at the same time. This build
are really so-so at the beginning but is really rewarding, trust me.
Excorcist Build
---------------
"Our fighting style has never lost a battle. Because we always run
away, we never have the chance to lose."
-- Grand Master of the Wind Style, Lunar 2: Eternal Blue
Starting stats: 5 STR, 9 AGI, 1 VIT, 5 INT, 9 DEX, and 1 LUK.

MaxHP: 4994
SP: 841
Hit:129   Flee:109+0
Weight:3900
SP recovery standing:0.28 SP/sec
SP recovery sitting: 0.57 SP/sec
Time to full SP recovery 1450 sec
HP healed per red pot 59~147
Comments: The Excorcist Build is well of fending the undead and at the same
time dealing with pesky monsters. Though the build is completely contrasting
the idea of a battle acolyte, this build start of only as a support but
later on grow to be a battle-type. The Excorcist build gives you a better
and a wider variety of leveling places and perhaps even Ghast Heim as your
Heal Bomb would be strong enough to kill a Ghoul after another or Munaks,
Sohees, Bonguns in the Payon Cave. Later you can be well off without a meat
shield, that's the use of the high Vitality.
Hardcore Battle Acolyte
-----------------------
"I am invincible! No one can defeat my shadow skill!
My one single blow is... Invincible!"

Time to full SP recovery 1823 sec
HP healed per red pot 54~133
Comments: I believe this is by far the best build I've used and this is
actually one of my favorite. This build will make you as tough as a
swordsman, gaining good amount of HP per potz/healing items and decent stats
bonuses from spells at the same time healing yourself! The Cons are very
minimal as this build could make you power level-up.

Comments: Hybrids are nice Battle Acolyte builds ^_^. This is great build as
well. Matching this build with the right skill you'll be invincible to the
undead. This build makes you tough even against other enemies. Even go
bare hand if you please.

Comments: A fairly nice build with a good mix of AGI, INT and STR. This is
perhaps a good way to start off with a monk if you're planning to get one.
This isn't proven to be the best build for monks yet but they're fairly
decent at a high level. I can't say that this is the build to follow if you
want to be a monk merely a wanna-be build.

Comment: If you'll be using or be going for a monk build I say you
max out the Demonsbane and Divine Protection instead of maxing either
Angelus or Agility Up first. They're essential for the Monk Build,
other than that I find this build to be just fine that is if you could
persevere that long.
.< kiddin' they're just as good as swordies though they don't have
much battling skills. Though I suggest you simply invite a Mage/Archer or a
Thief/Swordie other than Merchants. (Peace my merchant brothers! ^_-)

PvP hints/tips section is basically a guide (or at least that's what I think
of it ^_^) for those PvP enthusiasts ^_^. These are merely tips on either how
to make PvPs exciting and how will you be facing your opponents. BTW, I'll
be disregarding the use of any special equipments/cards just to be sure.
Swordsmen - Fighting a swordsman would be the toughest one to face. They're
brute warriors that don't have anything good to do other than using their
swords ^_^. Swordsman are awfully offensive and at the same time be
recovering their HP per 10 seconds. Though you can clearly fight fairly
against them. The trick into defeating them relies on how much your SP could
hold. Start off summoning supportive spells (Blessing etc..) then fight them
normally though you may want to heal yourself occasionally and heal after
every bash/magnum breaks/etc.. The only way swordsmen are defeated is by
means of squaring up on them.
Thieves - Thieves are nimble creature who can evade and deal twice the damage
in return. Expect much AGI from them and expect a hard time hitting them
though surely ones you've connected it'll be almost over. I only find the
Blessing spell to be the most effective as it'll raise your DEX up. A good
status ailment attack from them is "Envenom" the higher the level of it the
harder and the bigger problem it'll cause. I simply suggest you carry a
couple of status restoring items along to counter them. Simply heal yourself
Whenever necessary.
Acolytes - Battle Acolytes are taken care of proper healing time and the
level of support spell. The one that'll prevail is mostly those who have a
better stats/spell level. Support Acolytes mostly wouldn't want to PvP even
so they'll be as frail as an old man so no problems there.
Mages - The only way to defeat this elemental dudes is to move fast. You
should use "Agi Up" spell to walk faster and be sure to sneak up on them
first though a surprise attack is almost countered with their Soul Strike
but if you managed to sneak up on them head on instantaneously beat them up.
Casting "Agi Down" is necessary if they try running away. You should maintain
a high HP level as a good blast from this fiends would be as close as death.
Archers - Same as Mages though you have a slight edge against them "Pnuema".
"Agi Up" yourself first and try to catch them. A flinch from this long ranged
antagonists would spell trouble. Though they have a couple of offensive power
like Blitz Ace, Double Strafe and the likes a good Pnuema would be it. Expect
a loooooong match.
Merchants - Same strats with either Battle Acolytes/Swordsmen the only
difference is if they use a cart. This means that they'll either be having
500+ healing items up their sleeves so be careful ^_^.
