Getting Started
Many players will help you,
either from your race or guild. Politeness goes a long way, especially
if you are the one asking for services and aid.
Rearrange
Welcome, newbie! To begin
your journey on becoming a priest, you will need to rearrange first.
You'd want to have the highest wisdom that you can get, high strength and
constitution, (wisdom is needed to have a high ability to learn and perform
your spells, strength to be able to carry heavy objects, and a high constitution
for better health, more hit points) 20 is the highest possible in the rearrange,
so you will want to shoot for 20 in wisdom, and as high as you can get
in strength and constitution.
Newbie Guild
Once you have successfully
rearranged, you will want to join the newbie guild. Depending on what race
you are, the newbie guild will be in different locations. Join the
newbie guild, and max out fighting and faith. Then leave the newbie guild.
Priests Guild Location
The Priests Guild (or Treeth
Cathedral) is located in Treeth (one west, south of Gods Way and
Main Street)
Head east from there, and
join at Maynard. After joining, go west, and two south, you'll be inside
the guild. Look around, the guild shop is south of you, and where you advance
at, Harold, is west, north from the Parlor.
Note:
*-Excluding-
'Outside of the Priest Cathedral' everything east of that is a safe room.
Meaning that no other players can cast any type of spells, and the priests
can only cast defensive spells on themselves and others. Repeated casting
of spells while walking into the Cathedral will result in you being tossed
for 3 real life days.
*South of 'Outside
of the Priests Cathedral' is also a safe room, the Flower Garden is used
mostly for wedding ceremonies. A priest can 'prepare' the room for a wedding,
(disables souls from other players in the room) and 'allow <name>'
(to grant certain players the ability to soul while at the Flower Garden
after you prepared the room)
Exping/Advancing
Exping, killing NPCs (non
player characters, monsters generated by the game) and getting experience
points, and then you use those experience points to advance at the guild,
to raise your skills so you will be able to learn more spells.
To make exping easier and
faster the following are a few tips:
1. Get a good weapon
and some armours. This will help you kill the monster quicker and protect
you against from their attacks more. Some of the most popular newbie weapons
are a Great Maul, Halberd, Claymore and a Rod of Chaos (RoC) The Great
Maul saves at level ~90, Halberd 200, Claymore saves at level 15, RoC is
random. All of these weapons can be found in Treeth, but it is advised
to just ask someone guild (guild <message>) to help you get one.
Armours, I would suggest get someone to help you get a Steel Breastplate
down in Eternia, or a Knight's Mail in the Treeth Stronghold. These are
the two basic armours, I would suggest on getting. (Keep in mind there
are plenty of other options available, and many other armour types that
you can wear) There is also the option of buying guild armours and weapons
and using those, here is some information about
the Priests Guild Shop. Also, before going out and exping, you can ask
for defensive spells from the guild. Holy Shield, Bless and Holy Armour
will help greatly for newbies and through the rest of your exping days.
Just ask on the guild channel, politely, for someone to assist you with
spells.
2. A exping place.
NPCs are scattered all around RoD, some popular areas to exp in are the
Encampment, Hylar, and the Goblin Caves. These areas generally are over
populated with players and npcs would be difficult to come by. Some more
other areas to exp is the Greywynd Castle, and Yikaria & the city of
Hirwaun. These places are designed for newbies to low levels. Middle
level priests should consider continuing in Hylar, or travel to Madagor,
an island northwest of Treeth. High level priests, can consider going to
Raven Island (need to be at least level 200) or Madagor. Both places requires
sailing, or taking a ferry.
Once you have gathered enough
exp, (remember to keep watch of your exp cap. The cap means that you can
only get up to that amount of exp before you need to advance, if you go
over that cap, you will loose that exp when you advance at the guild) you
will need to travel back to the guild and advance it. I have collected
a good variety of advancement plans here, that you can use, here.
As you advance and raise your skills you will learn more spells, here
is a list of our spells and a brief description of what each does.
To advance, go to Harold,
and type 'say what spells' this will give you a list of the spells that
you can learn, 'say spell list' this will list all the spells that
you can learn right now, and 'say teach me <spell name>' will
teach you that spell. Continuing exping and advancing, and soon you will
be done and maxxed (takes about 350 million exp, to fully max this guild.
It's not -that- much *grins*)
