This is by no means an in depth guide, it’s actually more like a do your quests and do these dailies now kind of guide. It has some decent information.

Leveling a P/K is quite simple. Excruciatingly boring at times but very consistent and quite easy in the 40′s. The worst levels for priests are the 30′s. One runs out of quests and you aren’t strong enough to solo multiple mobs in the DDC (well maybe) Once you hit 40-ish you will be getting so much TP you can max at least 4 skills at all times your main group stuff, I’m talking Grace of Life, Amp, Heal, and Faith.

In all seriousness end-game players will not WILL NOT look to priests for any sort of damage. If you are whacking the boss your group will think you are nooby because most bosses have AoE’s that will strip most of your health and someone will most likely die. I have only ever had one person die on me in Mystic Altar and it was the teleporter boss. He got EVERYONE next to him, AoE’d, then feared us for 10 seconds. luckily I got my 10 minute off with only one death. Stay away from bosses!!! You don’t want to be feared!!!!

Equips: Cloth Armor, Shield, Bludgeon.

Magical Attack does not increase healing by any amount. It is utterly useless for Divine Priests. Strive for Wisdom and Stamina on your armor.

The Very Beginning 1-15

Resist the urge to invest TP into Rising Tide. Enough said. Just don’t do it.

It is very basic to hit level 10 and once you get Bone Chill things will go extremely fast early on. Often you can Bone Chill many mobs at once and run around while they die in your wake of terror. This is the best way to hit 10.

Now once you hit 10 travel north to Varanas with at least the quests talk to Class Instructor, and meet with the Guard outside of town. Do not turn these quests in on your Priest. Pick Knight as your secondary by talking to the Knight instructor in teh class hall and then turn in the quests. You will be around level 3. Switch back to Priest and make sure to the the Rusty Weapons quest from the man outside town. Switch to Knight for all of the experience in this quest chain. You should level from this. After this accept any quests possible in Silverspring or head South back to Howling mountains and finish the quests there. Level your priest this time, hopefully to 11 or 12.

Head then back up to Silverspring and begin to do any quest you can there. Now you probably should do your first 10 dailies. Go to the Varanas bulletin board. Located in Varanas West or the Caravan by the Mine. Search for the highest exp daily possible and accepts it. Now multiply the item needed by 10 and get to farming for them! This is the average daily. Get a certain ammount of items and turn them in somewhere.

Level your priest with these dailies and continue to obtain more and more quests. Just do quests until level 16.

An Alternative

Begin the game with a Knight class. Level this like you would the priest, it goes relatively quickly and you get to do more melee damage. Save the quests as you level and once you hit 10 go onto your Priest side and turn the quests in. This will level you to 6 or 7 at least.

My special 7-10 trick!

Travel to the resurrection point outside Varanas even if you are around level 7 it’s ok. I do not recommend below that or else it will be much to hard to damage the boars.

Begin fighting one of the yellow named boars there, don’t worry about any death penalty, it does not start until level 10.

Just unload all attacks possible on it and if it kills you that is ok. Click the resurrect button as quickly as possible. You should come back to life without the boar’s life going back to 100%

Keep unloading on the boar until it dies. This will give you relatively good experience for your level and it’s a good way to get both classes to 10 quickly!

Still Quite Early 16-30

By now you should have all the quests for the Silverspring set available and you should complete them. This will be useful until you get the Bloody Gallery set and that can last you for quite a long time. (mine lasted me until my early 40′s) In these levels you will still be leveling your secondary quite a bit. You won’t get your Secondary to 30 until level 35 anyway. Get to level 6 on your secondary with any quests possible or grinding if you must and then begin to collect Bat Saliva. You need 90 of these and they drop from the bats outside the Forsaken Abbey. 90 will give you 10 dailies worth 900 exp each. They are level 16 dailies therefore one must be level 14 to recieve the quest and level 6 to turn in it in. Level your secondary to at level level 12 off of these dailies, or the Ancient Stone Slabs. Once level 12 continue to level your priest side off of quests. You will have a steady stream of quests until your mid 30′s.

Once level 18 you can turn in Ant Eater Scales in Silverfall for 2200 exp each Daily. This is the best possible daily until level 26 in which you can do bear claws.

Once level 25 you are ready to do Abbey, Bloody Gallery and the Ancalon quests. Until then you should save these quests in your quest log. These quests will give you an amazing set of armor that can last you for quite awhile if you aren’t willing or able to update your armor.

Level your secondary up to 18 off the Ant Eater Dailies then continue on with your dailies up to level 26.

Farm Sharpclaw Bears and Shaggy Bears for their claws. You need 50 of each. Watch out for Borrofar!!! At such a low level you will get hit and it will be hard.

Once you hit level 28 you ought to start collecting for your first 15 item daily. Antlers! Kill lots and lots of Khandor Reindeer and if you don’t hit level 29 from farming 150 Antlers, attempt to do some quests. Once 29 you can turn in 10 dailies in Ystra Highlands for over 6k each.

By level 30 you should have a few items that you really shouldn’t miss. The Vahtos’ Apprentice lines give a set of jewelry that is worth a ton. you should have 3 pieces from Crafty Bernok, Crazy Kiosade, and Joblid. When you get the Earrings attempt to + them to at least +1 each. You will get much more health for it.

Continue to do Antlers up until level 31 at which point you can do the Fed-Ex daily!

The Middle Levels 31-40

At level 30 you will get a reskill which I recommend you use and change Instant Heal to Heal. Your Attack skills are most important currently. Get Amp Attack and Bone Chill both up to 30! Then Regen! Then Heal! Then Wave Armor! Don’t worry if you lack the TP it gets much easier later on. Continue to do dailies and quests every day! Level your secondary to 21 off of Bear Claws, 23 off Reindeer, then level your Priest.

The minute you can start doing Ferrets ask for Ferret Groups in Ystra Highlands. Then advance your secondary to 10 levels below the turn in for Ferrets. Off of Ferrets get your secondary to level 30 and continue to level to 40.

These are the boring levels…. Just Ferrets and quests whenever you can. You can’t begin Necropolis of Mirrors until 35 because of other players expectations. Once you have all your Elite’s though you will the the epitome of Divine Priest’s. The 3/30 Elite should stay on at all times for it does not effect Bone Chill’s damage yet it reduces every single spell’s mana cost.

Keep up the drag to level 40 where the game will get quite fun. (I’m talking Mystic Altar, DDC, and almost Cyclops)

Right as you hit 40 you get Dailies in the DDC!!!! Do not buy the Harpy Claws and attempt that daily! I know its the highest experience daily but it is uselss, the turn in is far away and by some level 50 mobs! you will die on the way to turn it in.

Get Cactus stuff or scorpion stingers. These are worth 25k ea and will get you to 41 easily.

The Early 40′s 41-42

Do whatever quests possible in Ystra, finish the Epic up to Hawk Cliffs and try to find that damn Scorpian Blackie (you won’t ever find him!!! I still haven’t)

Do anything and everything in your power to hit that magic level 43!

The Becoming Levels 43-50

You officially aren’t a newb, hopefully you aren’t a noob, you should have some good gear, some amazing heals, and you should be instancing with fun people whenever you can. Once you hit 45 you can call yourself a high level! No less than that!

Just finish up your Epic, finish all the quests possible (besides blackie! honestly where is the scorpian?)

At 43 you begin your Ant Dailies. In DDC you often just yell in Local, Ant Party please, or something along those lines and you are invited to a raid that is killing ants just outside of Obsidian. Just do your quests and do your dailies every single day and you should be level 50 in around a week. Or if you are lazy 2 weeks.

Alternative Secondary Leveling 1-30

When playing on your main you can travel to Sacilia Steppes and Dragonfang Ridge. There are quite a few quests up there for your main to pick up and finish then turn in on your secondary. I personally do not recommend killing mobs on your K side. This is inefficient and will require another set of armor and another weapon. It is more expensive and time consuming than it would be to grind dailies or quests however I do agree that questing in the Steppes or Dragonfang is a great option for your Knight.
