MapleStory Bishop Skill Build Guide

MapleStory Magician Bishop Priest Cleric Magician can advanced as a Fire-Poison Archmage, Ice-Lightning Archmage or Bishop. This specific job route is determined when you reach Level 30. For this job, you will undergo as Cleric (2nd Job Advancement), Priest (3rd Job Advancement) and Bishop (4th Job Advancement). Bishop has the highest amount of supportive skills at their disposal in healing allies, dispelling negative spell effects and buffing their stats to make them beefier. This allows his/her party members to take on difficult challenges that provides better rewards compared to soloing in activities such as boss raids or to effectively speed up leveling progress. However, this job deals the least amount of damage compared to all classes, therefore, it will be a little difficult for them to train alone against powerful enemies with strong defenses. Bishop have some fondness with dark monsters, giving them an edge in dealing extra damage against them.

Bishop Pros and Cons

Pros

  • *Share your pros on this job!*
  • The most important class to have in a party for both buffs and exp bonusses.
  • Holy Symbol makes leveling easy by increasing exp, and gets improved in the hyper sills
  • 2 full screen skills, Genesis at 4th job, Heaven’s Door at lvl 170.
  • Surpisingly decent damage
  • Big Bang does not need to be charged after Genesis is used, and when it needs to be charged, Genesis cooldown has ended and it can be used again, so you will never need to charge Big Bang.
  • Extremely useful buffs for both solo and party play, you will always get invited to parties and people will reserve a party slot for you.
  • Main attacking skill has a hyper skill that adjusts it for bossing, increading the damage lines when focusing on a single target.
  • Main attacking skill also heals you as you use it.
  • Healing turret for party members.
  • Saves a lot of HP potions
  • Shield that makes you invincible for a short amount of time.
  • Skill that allows you to “Dispel” abnormal effects.
  • Skill/shield that makes you less likely to suffer abnormal effects.
  • Teleporter makes them sufficiently mobile.
  • Pretty balanced, decent/good at both mobbing and bossing.
  • Extremely convenient; Mystic door ensures you don’t need return scrolls, and you can go straight back to the map you were grinding at from the town without having to walk back.
  • Can revive party members, making you useful for party play when bossing a boss that does not have a death count.

Cons

  • *Share your cons on this job!*
  • By far the weakest class in 2nd job and one of the weakest in 3rd.
  • Bahamut isn’t very useful
  • Damage is lower than most other classes
  • Have to turn on mana guard. If you forget to and walk into a mob, you’re pretty much instantly dead.
  • Very boring/weak until 3rd job (you use the beginner magician skill until 2nd job), pretty boring from 3rd to 4th job. Gets very fun when you get Heaven’s Door at level 170.
  • For some reason, dispel rarely works when attempting to dispel Skill Lock effect.
  • VERY low stance. You get thrown around a lot in areas with a lot of mobs.
  • Like many other classes, you end up finding no use for your earlier attacking skills once reaching 4th job.
  • Difficult to fund, quite a lot needed to do max damage. (+ But usually you’ll end up leeching, and if you don’t, you’ll do fine with event equips and cubes obtained from event coin shops).

Cleric Skill Build Guide: Everything maxed except Holy Arrow.
0. Blessed Ensemble (MAX)
1. Heal, Holy Arrow, Spell Mastery (1)
2. Spell Mastery (MAX)
3. High Wisdom (MAX)
4. Heal (5)
5. Invincible (5)
6. Bless (MAX)
7. Magic Booster (MAX)
8. Invincible (MAX)
9. Holy arrow (19/20)
10. MP Eater (MAX)
11. Heal (MAX)

Explanation:
Cleric (Magician 2nd Job) primary attacking skill will be either Heal or Holy Arrow. Based on my experience training a Cleric, there aren’t many undead monsters around to use Heal to eliminate them. Therefore, Heal skill will be maxed last. You will be solely relying on Energy Bolt (Magician’s 1st Job Skill) as your early 2nd job primary attacking skill. Once you maxed all 3 supportive skills (Bless, Invincible and Magic Booster), you can start maxing Holy Arrow and use it in areas where the platform is flat and packed with monsters (e.g. Chyrse Questline Training Grounds). Reason being, Holy Arrow has two-thirds (2/3) of Energy Bolt attacking range which makes it inconvenient to eliminate enemies that are escaping from your screen. Begin your Cleric career by maxing Spell Mastery followed by High Wisdom to improve your overall base damage. Next, max the supportive skills, and move on to maxing Holy Arrow (primary attacking skill) and last but not least, MP Eater to siphon enemy MP (Mana aka Magic Points) and Heal (for party healing skill).

8. Mystic Door (MAX)
9. Holy Fountain (MAX)
10. Holy Magic Shell (MAX)

12. Dispel (MAX)

Explanation:
Priest (Magician 3rd Job) primary attacking skill will be Shining Ray. This skill is very flexible, allowing you to hit monsters located at the top and bottom platform if they are close to you. It also hits monsters on your left and right side. Best place to use it is in Monster Park area where mobs just swarm around you and that place have lots of platforms to play with. Add 1 SP (Skill Point) into Shining Ray, Holy Fountain, Dispel and Teleport Mastery so you can use these utility skills in times of need. Begin with maxing Holy Focus to reduce damage gap between your min-max damage while boosting your Critical Chance/Rate and Accuracy when fighting monsters. Next, max Holy Symbol to obtain significant amount of experience points per monster kill. Then, max Arcane Overdrive for the additional damage boost. Proceed to max Teleport Mastery for the added Teleport distance boost and increase teleport damage. Coupled with powerful gears, you can teleport and kill monsters instantly without having to use Shining Ray, which speeds up your leveling experience termendously at Level 70-80. Cap off Shining Ray at Level 14 since there is insufficient SP to max all skills. If you plan to solo-train like me, I distribute some SP from Holy Fountain to max Shining Ray as I used it less often. Another reason I did not max Holy Fountain is most players would rely on their Elixir-Potions to keep them alive during boss raids or Pet Auto-pot during training. After that, max Holy Magic Shell and Divine Protection for the added bonus defense. Finally, max Dispell. Holy Magic Shell is the ultimate Priest protection against all enemy attacks, very useful for collecting boss items (4th Job Advancement) without taking in any damage for a short period of time.

Bishop – Magician 4th Job Skills (GMS | MSEA)

Permanently increases Magic Attack and increases the duration of all buffs on you.
Level 1: Permanently Increased Magic ATT: +3, Buff Duration: +5%
Level 10: Permanently Increased Magic ATT: +30, Buff Duration: +50%
Buff mastery only increases self-timing, and screws your rebuff timing for party skills as others do not receive that extended duration. If one chooses to solo, this is the perfect skill for the job.

Arcane Aim
Ignores a portion of enemy Defense when attacking. Damage dealt increases with consecutive attacks. Stacks up to 5 times.
Level 1: Ignores 6% of enemy DEF. When attacking enemy 3 or more times, damage will increase by 2% with 21% probability. Damage increase effect will accumulate up to 5 times.

Bishop Skill Build Guide: Everything maxed.
1. Angel Ray, Genesis, Big Bang, Arcane Aim (1)
2. Buff Mastery (MAX)
3. Advanced Blessing (MAX)
4. Big Bang (MAX)
5. Arcane Aim (MAX)
6. Infinity (MAX)
7. Maple Warrior (MAX)
8. Bahamut (MAX)
9. Angel Ray (MAX)
10. Genesis (MAX)
11. Resurrection (MAX)
12. Hero’s Will (MAX)

Explanation:
Bishop (Magician 4th Job) primary attacking skill will be Big Bang + Genesis. You might be wondering why is it not Angel Ray? Even though Big Bang has this annoying charge delay that Angel Ray doesn’t, casting Genesis will temporarily remove this charge-delay limitation which allows you to spam Big Bang in your heart’s content and Big Bang damage is significantly more compared to Angel Ray and is much more convenient to attack monsters in all directions (top, bottom, left, right) similarly to how Shining Ray works. The only time I used Angel Ray was to heal party members while attacking boss simultaneously but the damage is not on par with Big Bang. First, max Buff Mastery to improve your buff skills duration and magic attack. Second, max Advanced Blessing to obtain better overall boost stats to replace Bless skill. Third, max Big Bang followed by Arcane Aim, Infinity and Maple Warrior to boost your overall damage. You can max Bahamut to have a sidekick to fight alongside with you. Then, max Angel Ray or Genesis depending on your playstyle (solo or party at this level). Finally, max Resurrection and Hero’s Will last as they are the least frequent used skills.

Explanation:
Check this Hyper Stats Guide for more details! Holy Symbol – Preparation aka Holy Symbol – Imbue Body is not a recommended skill because Status Resistance stat has been tweaked to reduce the duration of the negative buff inflicted on your character rather than avoiding it with a certain success rate. This makes it less useful in avoiding negative status (e.g. Seal, Seduce, Blind) inflicted by monster or monster bosses.

    @all: Bishop 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Job Skills are updated to MapleSEA v174 aka GMS v193.

  5. Ayumilove Post author

    @AyumiLOVER2025P: The Bishop Hyper Skill (Level 150) – Righteously Indignant | Angelic Vengeance is used primarily for bossing as it sets the number of targets to 1 but enables it to deal more damage. For Big Bang skill, its best to find a map that has multiple platform. You can use Angel Ray for training in higher level maps because bumping into monsters do reduce a lot of your health. Angel Ray allows Bishop to deal damage and heal self at the same time!

  6. Ayumilove Post author

    @Zelson: The data of the Bishop skills is obtained from official MapleStory 1 server (GMS + MSEA)

  7. AyumiLOVER2025

    Oh! 2nd Question: Do bishops primarily use angel ray as the attack because of the 160 hyper skill?
    Lastly, any training maps good for bishop specifically: Examples at the top of my head are Yellow goblin and poison zombie because big bang can hit so many of them so easily, but other recommended maps are very horizontal, making it hard for bigbang!

  8. AyumiLOVER

    Hello! Is training at Zipangu (Ghosts) or Showa town parking lot better?
    Is training at showa town all the way to 200 viable?

  9. Zelson

    Hi, is this Private server or nexon server? share me link for play this maple story. You’re awesome sis 😀

  10. Ayumilove Post author

    @Jia: Below are some of the places I recommend:
    1. Kerning Tower at Level 145 to 165.
    2. For MSEA Players (funded), Showa Town Parking Lot at Level 160 to 180.
    3. Then move on to Omega Sector from Level 165 to 185.
    4. For more details, visit http://ayumilove.net/best-maplestory-training-spots-guide-v9/

  11. Jia

    What are good training areas for Levels 150 onwards for bishop?

  12. Ayumilove Post author

    @Qriox: May I know how you discovered the Righteously Indignant affects Angel of Libra?

  13. Qriox

    You should add a note to the Angel of Libra, that it’s healing or damage depends on Righteously Indignant

  14. HolyGiraffe

    @Leonard
    No it does not.

    INT takes no part in the amount of MP you gain when you level up.
    In addition to that, I say it doesn’t matter anyway because by the time you’re level 200 the MP you have is pretty much irrelevant because everything is either % based anyway, or the MP cost is too small to notice.

  15. Leonard

    Does more INT = MORE MP WHEN LV rule still applies to every mages??

  16. redfyre

    what should i do if i have mastery book 20 applied to big bang and advanced blessing

  17. Hayashi

    Thanks for skill build guide… Come back to play my cleric after 10 years. it seems everything changed especially holy arrow’s animation not the white bow and white arrow anymore, heal cant be spammed… ;w; it seems luk isnt required to wear gears. @.@ i guess i need AP reset item…

  18. Ayumilove Post author

    @all: MapleStory Bishop 5th Job Skill has been updated! Mastery Level 20 to 25.

    @Rentorock: Thanks for sharing Bishop pros and cons! I have added them into the list above!

  20. Ayumilove Post author

    @J: Thanks for the notice! I have updated Bishop 2nd Job Skill “Invincible” from Supportive to Passive.

    @ChimmyChunga: Thanks for the correction! I have updated Bishop Hyper Skill “Righteously Indignant” Damage 140% to 40%.

  22. Ayumilove Post author

    @Moosh: Thanks for sharing Bishop pros and cons! I have added them into the guide above.

  23. Ayumilove Post author

    @subz: Thanks for the correction! I have updated Bishop Hyper Skill “Righteously Indignant” Damage 140% to 40%.

  24. subz

    “Righteously Indignant

    Required Level: 150

    Fuels your body with the fury of an avenging angel.
    Level 1: When deactivated: Damage: +140% | When activated: MP Cost: 90, Magic ATT: 50, Monster DEF Ignored: 20%, Angel Ray Attack Angel Ray Attack Count: +4 (Angel Ray’s Total Attack Count: 8), Max Damage: 5,000,000; Attack Speed increased by 1 stage, Monster Elemental Resistance: -25%, Recover Amount: 40%. Decreases the number of targets to 1. Can only use Teleport, buff skills and Angel Ray.”

    Should it not be +40 damage? 🙂

  25. Moosh

    Pros:
    + Holy Symbol makes leveling easy by increasing exp, and gets improved in the hyper sills
    + 2 full screen skills, Genesis at 4th job, Heaven’s Door at lvl 170.
    + Surpisingly decent damage
    + Big Bang does not need to be charged after Genesis is used, and when it needs to be charged, Genesis cooldown has ended and it can be used again, so you will never need to charge Big Bang.
    + Extremely useful buffs for both solo and party play, you will always get invited to parties and people will reserve a party slot for you.
    + Main attacking skill has a hyper skill that adjusts it for bossing, increading the damage lines when focusing on a single target.
    + Main attacking skill also heals you as you use it.
    + Healing turret for party members.
    + Saves a lot of HP potions
    + Shield that makes you invincible for a short amount of time.
    + Skill that allows you to “Dispel” abnormal effects.
    + Skill/shield that makes you less likely to suffer abnormal effects.
    + Teleporter makes them sufficiently mobile.
    + Pretty balanced, decent/good at both mobbing and bossing.
    + Extremely convenient; Mystic door ensures you don’t need return scrolls, and you can go straight back to the map you were grinding at from the town without having to walk back.
    + Can revive party members, making you useful for party play when bossing a boss that does not have a death count.

    Cons:
    – Bahamut isn’t very useful
    – Damage is lower than most other classes
    – Have to turn on mana guard. If you forget to and walk into a mob, you’re pretty much instantly dead.
    – Very boring/weak until 3rd job (you use the beginner magician skill until 2nd job), pretty boring from 3rd to 4th job. Gets very fun when you get Heaven’s Door at level 170.
    – For some reason, dispel rarely works when attempting to dispel Skill Lock effect.
    – VERY low stance. You get thrown around a lot in areas with a lot of mobs.
    – Like many other classes, you end up finding no use for your earlier attacking skills once reaching 4th job.
    – Difficult to fund, quite a lot needed to do max damage. (+ But usually you’ll end up leeching, and if you don’t, you’ll do fine with event equips and cubes obtained from event coin shops).

    + Overall a decent and balanced class.

  26. Rentorock

    PROS: The most important class to have in a party for both buffs and exp bonusses.
    CONS: By far the weakest class in 2nd job and one of the weakest in 3rd.

  27. J

    2nd job Cleric
    Invincible is Passive now

  28. ChimmyChunga

    I noticed that Righteously Indignant has +140% damage when deactivated rather than +40% damage like it should be

  29. Ayumilove Post author

    @Cruzybecks: It’s alright 🙂

  30. Cruzybecks

    Oh wait no nevermind I got it all wrong sorry !

  31. Cruzybecks

    Hi Ayumi ! I’ve noticed some of the Priest skills have the wrong level (eg. Shining Ray maxes at level 10, it doesn’t go up to 20). Getting a little confused when looking at it. Sorry, thank you !

  32. jk

    @Asyd Infinity is working properly for me (in terms of buffing and healing). Also once you get to fourth job anyway not like healing ever matters since you can just use AR anyway, or have pots on pets like most people do

  33. Asyd

    the infinity skill is broken. it only nullify mana cost instead of healing hp/mp. which is not that great considering its about 30 sec every 4 min. why do bishop always got a downgrade. the other job had easier time lvling. bishop got heal cooldown and broken infinity and a lot of death.

  34. Ayumilove Post author

    @leedokiu: The mastery books (20 and 30) for all classes can be purchased from NPC located at Leafre. The books costs meso in millions. Purchase mastery books to upgrade your skills mastery level cap. Max the 4th job skills according to the guide above (can be use as reference depending on your playstyle!).

  35. leedokiu

    hi! do you have any guide for bishop mastery books? i only follow your guides, and i cant find nothing about the mastery books
    thankyou!

  36. Tim

    Hi. Which skills do you recommend using mastery books on first?

  37. Extragood1

    Hi! May i know what is yr guide on abilities points as well. Do i just max int 5 or put 3 int and 2 luk?

  38. Ayumilove Post author

    @CypherXY: You need to use Mastery Books to unlock those skills which has Level 10 cap limiter. 🙂

  39. CypherXY

    whoops never mind just figured it out 😀 thanks for the guide btw, had it with me from lv 1 – 102 so far.

  40. CypherXY

    I noticed that on some of the 4th job skills (arcane aim, bahamut, advanced blessing, infinity, big bang, gensis, and angel ray) you put their max level as 30 and not 10 as of 4/1/2016. If you need screen shots for proof i’d be more than happy to provide 🙂

  41. soularrow

    sorry i did saw the not the step 0. one and mistaked 2 skills.
    you can delete my comments now since they are now useless if you want to

  42. SoulArrow

    and before invicible we need 5 in heal so that change alot of things

  43. SoulArrow

    you now have to put 5 into invincible before Blessed Ensemble could you modifie the build up with that please it would really help, thank you. i love all your guides sinces many many years now

  44. Bruno

    Is there a good way to get mesos as a Bishop? I just got to lv. 100 and my itens suck so hard. I’m not sure if I can keep up solo with those.

  45. Ayumilove Post author

    @helpme:
    Heal formula:
    MAX = (INT * 4.8 + LUK * 4) * Magic / 1000 * Heal %
    MIN = (INT * 1.2 + LUK * 4) * Magic / 1000 * Heal %

  46. helpme

    How does “heal” work? It obviously doesn’t heal 300% of my hp

  47. JimmyChoo

    yo which 4th job skills do you think are most important for mastery books, because im not sure if i can obtain them all unfortunately. thank you so much

  48. Ayumilove Post author

    @BMansion: Hi, could you elaborate on the part in the hyper skill build is outdated?

  49. BMansion

    Hello! Can you update the hyper skill build??

  50. Ayumilove Post author

    @all: MapleStory Bishop Skill Build Guide is Reboot Ready.

  51. Ayumilove Post author

    @Brendan: Hi, I have updated the “Righteously Indignant” Hyper Skill. When you have this buff activated, you can hit only 1 enemy 8 times instead of 6 enemies 4 times.

  52. Brendan

    How come I see people hit 8 times with Angel Ray with the hyper skill

  53. Ayumilove Post author

    @Brendan: Angel Ray does 5 hits per enemy when you have the “Righteously Indignant” Hyper Skill Buff active. Without that buff, it deals 4 hits per enemy.

  54. Brendan

    How many hits does Angel Ray do with the hyper skill?

  55. Ayumilove Post author

    @MiracleMan1Half: Yup, the Advanced Blessing overrides Bless. This concept same applies with other enhancing skills in other jobs such as Final Attack and Advanced Final Attack. However, the Advanced Final Attack provides higher weapon attack boost (top up) instead of starting lower than the non-Advanced Final Attack. Perhaps MapleStory Nexon overlooked this Bishop Skill XD

  56. Ayumilove Post author

    @MiracleMan1Half: Those popups are ads which supports this website hosting fees. You can ignore them instead of closing it so it does not pop up again. This way, they just refreshes the same pop up window. 🙂

  57. MiracleMan1Half

    one more thing, whats with all the popups on the site?

  58. MiracleMan1Half

    Ayumi what is up with bless vs advanced blessing? bless ends with 15 att/m.att and advanced blessing starts with 11 att/m.att and you and up starting with less. i thought it added to the 15 making it start with 26 but when i checked it (using bless then advanced blessing) i notice that advanced blessing overrides bless and i gain w/m defense and accuracy and avoid but lose dmg. i got 11 dmg at lvl one advanced bless vs 15 from bless. why doesnt it build on top of it or be a new spell to work together?

  59. Halpplss

    Thanks for your wonderful guide! Just a quick question, where do I go to do the 4th job advancement? They as for the Forest of the Priest in Leafre. I’m currently in Leafre now and I can’t find the map. Is it a hidden street entrance? Thanks!!

  60. Narutolv1000

    Nevermind, disregard my previous comment.

  61. Nicholas

    Where can I train Bishop at early levels???

  62. Narutolv1000

    I think that the hyper skill Epic Adventure got changed to level 150 as a req. and maybe there was a change for Heaven’s Door I wasnt paying enough attention :c

  63. bakhe

    @henry

    1. i think it really depends on what you’re lacking / what you want the most. if you want damage, you could invest in damage, or INT. or boss damage, if you’re lacking that.

    2. the lvl 150 RA ‘Root Abyss’ Set can be obtained from root abyss, or you can just buy them at FM.

    3. For now, the RA set is the end-game for most of us. you should focus on your weapon first. that’s what i do for the maximum damage.

    I was just looking around and had time to answer your questions!

  64. Henry

    First of all, huge huge thanks for you hard work Ayumi.

    Im kinda new to MS so i have a few questions.
    1/Which stats should I invest my Hyper statpoints in ?
    2/Where can i find the lv 150 set that everyone told me about?
    3/ If I get a chance to collect the entire lv 150 set, should I use cubes on them or wait for a better one. I mean from which set that I should start cubing.
    4/ I kinda like how you have not changed your profile picture in a long time, now it’s like a signature of Ayumi to me xD

    thanks in advance and have a good day.

  65. Narutolv1000

    Hey, I am having a major mana problem while playing BS (not sure if this applies to other Magician classes), what should I do?

  66. John

    I can’t find the forest of priest can u help me please urgent !!!!, now me at leafre and I can find the priest.

  67. Ayumilove Post author

    @Vivek: There is no need to spend NXCash/@Cash for that matter since Bishop does require “Hyper Int” for better damage. The Hyper Skill Guide skills are not prioritized in any order but as reference to selected skills recommended to add SP (Skill Points). You can’t max out all the Hyper Skills available for the active and passive ones as you have limited Hyper SP.

  68. Vivek

    Hey, just wondering about the Hyper Skills, it says you can only have one each 10 lvl, how do you max everything out if you only get one SP ? and i MAY have messed out ( meaning i did messed up ) i already put one hyper skill point on * Hyper Int * is there a way to take that off if i need follow your guide ?

  69. Ayumilove Post author

    @mushimushi: Thanks for the correction! I’ll be updating Bishop 3rd Job Skill Build Guide. (Adding 3 SP into Dispel before Holy Symbol)

  70. mushimushi

    hi there! for you to start adding SP to holy symbol, you must first at dispel at level 3 (or atleast in maplesea its like this)

  71. Ayumilove Post author

    @Abrakhan: Thanks for stopping by and letting me know that you have resolved your question 🙂

  72. Abrakhan

    EDIT: Nevermind my last question, I just resolved it I’m going to do it as you point out in the guide, thank you! – A.

  73. Abrakhan

    Hello Ayumi,

    First off I wanna thank you for your comprehensible guide, amazing work you do for us maplers 🙂
    I was wondering that for the 3rd job skills what if I just leave “Mystic Door” at lvl 5 and MAX “Shining Ray” instead (plus taking 1 SP from Holy Fountain), do you think would it work?

    I know it’s a matter of personal taste but I would love to hear what you think 😀 thanks in advance. – A.

  74. Rob

    Thank you for replying 🙂

    I’m also wondering if its normal for a lvl 150+ Bishop to have a damage range of about 29,000-30,000 since my lvl 153 Bishop has that range in the stat window without applying active buffs (with most skills maxed and some equipment enhancements)?

  75. Ayumilove Post author

    @Rob: Battle Mage deals much more damage compared to Bishop as its tuned for combat whereas Bishop is more focus on support.

  76. Rob

    Which has higher damage, Bishop or Battle mage?

  77. Pierre

    Any equipment guide?

  78. Ayumilove Post author

    @Celestine Khor: Hi, Bishop does not have link skill. However, you can get link skills from other jobs. The list of jobs that has link skill can be found at http://ayumilove.net/maplestory-link-skills-guide/ Does that answer your question? Thanks for dropping by 🙂

    I didnt see any thing talking about the link char ayumi. love your blog <3

  82. Ayumilove Post author

    @william: You can advanced as Bishop (4th Job) when you reach Level 100. Talk to the Magician Job Instructor aka Gritto who is residing in Leafre Forest of the Priest

  83. william

    at what lvl change to 4th job

  84. Rob

    Hey Ayumilove, How would the Bishop compare with the Battle Mage?

  85. Ayumilove Post author

    @DedicatedBishop: after getting the Level 150 sets, you can use Star Force to upgrade those equipment. Next, you can potential it using Cube from Cash Shop till it becomes Legendary (I kinda regret though spending so much NX Cash for 100+ Cubes per equip just for the sake of high damage ~ my word of advice: damage is not all the fun things in MapleStory, spend it for something much more enjoyable). Then you can do the random stat rolling on your character (it has its own potential). Next, create lots of character slots in 1 single account/server (e.g. Scania), and point the link skills to your main character. Then, get extra items such as Totems, special medals from Events (e.g. Sword Art Online) that has high stats, then catch-them-all monster familiar card to gain additional stats. next, you can add Nebulite crystals to your equip, hammer it for more slots. Quite time consuming. But once you get all those done. Your damage will hit the cap and everything will be 1 Hit KO except for bosses (e.g. horntail, pink bean, chaos boss).

  86. DedicatedBishop

    AyumiLove,

    I am a high level bishop. What are the last best mage equips out there? I know there are tyrants and level 150 sets, but what else do I need to become stronger? How can I get them? I know they cost a lot of money and selling nx isn’t always an option for me. Please advise! Thank you.

  87. PapaGrimly

    @Tigger: The Bishop, Paladin, and Beast Tamer (Cat) can all revive directly, while the Bishop and Evan can use a party buff that gives allies a self revive, allowing them to revive themselves once. Other than that, certain classes have a self revive as a passive skill, like Night Walker, Zero, and Beast Tamer (Bear).

    If a Kaiser revived himself, he had either been recently buffed to gain a self revive, had Eunwol’s link skill (provides a low chance of self revive), or had the NX item “Wheel of Destiny.”

    @-: The attacker level and your level must be within 20 levels.

    Hi ayumi, if I want to leech from others, what requirements must I fufil? What is the maximum level gap between players, and players and monsters?

  90. nc4228

    Holy Magic Shell – Persist is probably the most useless hyper to get. Do NOT get it, adv bless boss rush is infinitely better both for yourself and for your party.

  91. Tigger

    Ayumi, is it possible for other jobs excluding bishop and paladin to revive party members? because today i just saw one kaiser reviving i think or was it cash item I’m not sure.

  92. Ayumilove Post author

    @Panda-Chan: Yes you can use Mastery Book for skills other than Maple Warrior. Use the Mastery Book to max the 4th job skills as shown in the guide above. Don’t max Maple Warrior as your first 4th job skill as the damage increment is way lesser than others.

  93. Panda-Chan

    Ayumi, do i need to use mastery book on the 4th job skills other than maple warrior because when i used the mastery book 20 on it and said that i could use the mastery book for most of the skills. please reply this is urgent!!!

    Thank you Ayumi!

  94. RamenPanda

    Ayumi, I accidently maxed Shining Ray instead of. Will this decrease my damage ratio? I am concerned because Dispel won’t be maxed. Please reply.

  95. RamenPanda

    Ayumi, I messed up and maxed Shining Ray on accident, will it decrease my damage ratio? I am concerned now because Dispel won’t be maxed. Please respond.

  96. Ayumilove Post author

    @Eomin: Only the Advanced Blessing – Experience its said to be non-party effective.

  97. Ayumilove Post author

    @seah: I appreciate your constructive feedback on Bishop HyperSkills. I’ll revise the Bishop hyper skill build again based on those important points you have mentioned 🙂

  98. seah jeremy

    i disagree with ur explaination of the hyperskills.

    1. Plus, Holy Magic Shell doesn’t last quite long when the enemy attacks you rapidly, extinguishing the protective shell very quickly. it is for this very reason y u should get holy magic shell cooldown cutter.

    2. Reason not to max “Holy Symbol – Preparation” is you can use Dispell skill to remove all negative buffs inflicted on your character at 100% success rate. there are certain negative buffs that dispell can’t remove like stun and most imptly seduce. hero’s will can remove those but problem is its cd is 6 mins. that extra 10% status resistance is more impt than the extra 1k hp/mp imo.

    Advance blessing hyper skills affects party members also?

    Dear Ayumilove,

    I just wanna said thank you for your hard work giving details for every class and guide deepest from bottom of my heart, well especially, Tamyoun Cooking Class guide for party quest and elaboration for skill at each class. I can fell the dedication and passion of you when you explaining it. It helps me a lot.

    Do you have suggestion or advise or at least where i can find guide
    regarding equipment guide or for every class ?

    Thanks again Ayumilove.

    You are the best.. (two thumbs up)

  101. Ayumilove Post author

    @Kazuko: (MAX) refers to maxing a particular skill mastery level. For example, Bishop 4th Job Skill “Advanced Blessing” has a cap of Level 10. Once you add 10 SP (Skill Points) into it, you will not be able to add any more SP until you purchase a mastery book Level 20 to unlock Advanced Blessing Level 20. Upon maxing that skill up to 20, you will reach the true (MAX) mastery level. Some other skills such as “Bahamut” has Level 30 mastery level. Therefore, you will need to purchase Level 20 Mastery Book (to unlock Level 20 Bahamut) and Level 30 Mastery Book (to unlock Level 30 Bahamut) before you can distribute SP into that particular skill.

  102. Ayumilove Post author

    @Basil: I believe that the Bishop Hyper Skill “Holy Symbol – Extra Drop” affects the entire party as opposed to “Holy Symbol – Experience” that only applies to self.

  103. Kazuko

    Hey Ayumi,

    Thank you so much for this awesome guide!! Your website has helped me out so much! Sorry if this sounds like a bit of a dumb question, but when you say “(MAX)” for the 4th job skills, do you mean including mastery book enhancements? Or is there a certain level in which we stop receiving skill points?

    Thanks!

    Kazuko

  104. Basil

    Hi Ayumi, I am just wondering if the increase drop rate from HS affects party members too?

  105. Basil

    Hi Ayumi, I am just wondering for the Bishops increase drop rate, does it affects party members too?

  106. Ayumilove Post author

    @merc: Teleport Mastery only adds a very slight increase in distance and its useful for 1 Hit KO monsters at lower levels. It wouldn’t inflict serious damage against higher level mobs. Therefore, you do not need to worry much having not maxing the Teleport Mastery. I think the requirement for those Hyper Skills for Holy Symbol is it needs a maxed Holy Symbol skill. Perhaps you can use SP Reset Scroll to transfer some SP from Shinning Ray / Holy Fountain (depending on the skill which you least use) to Holy Symbol skill.

  107. Ayumilove Post author

    @Josh: Sure you can restart your Bishop. It would take about 3-6 days to reach Level 100 with EXP Coupon or Party Questing. Before you delete your character, move all your important assets to your mule character (a secondary account to hold your equipment, potions, etc). 94 LUK is kinda a lot. If it was like 3-5 SP, it wouldn’t make much difference 🙂

  108. Ayumilove Post author

    @Kevin: Sure, its worth it when you wish to level up faster 🙂 Once you reach Level 200 where you obtain all Hyper Skills, then you can reset your Hyper Skill stat for something else such as Holy Magic Shell – Cooldown Cutter.

  109. Kevin

    Hey Ayumi, im just wondering if its still worth to put points in The Holy Symbol Experience hyper skill as it is changed to 20% additional exp to only yourself

  110. Josh

    Hi Ayumilove, love your skill builds. They help me out quite a lot especially the dark knight build. I was just wondering if you can help me. My bishop is level 120 and has a base luck of 94. Do you think I should restart it? I don’t want to spend money on cash to get a ap reset scroll but my damage is really low and it’s really frustrating. Do you think I should restart or just go with it? Any advice is appreciated thanks =)

  111. merc

    i managed to clear all the AP backto zero because maplesea nopw having the nut coin event to get kuro equip . so i spent some coins on getting Ap reset scroll but my skills i added wrong because i max holy fountain and shining ray for my 3rd job instead . will it affect because i never really use teleport mastery much . i feel weird my hyper skills for the holy symbol that add drop rate is not available for me to add and i am 156 now . so weird maybe is the SP points have problem

  112. merc

    @ayumi i managed to clear all the AP backt o to zero ebcause maplesea nopw having the nut coin event to get kuro equip . so i spent some coins on getting Ap reset scroll but my skills i added wrong because i max holy fountain and shining rayfor my 3rd job instead . will it affect because i never really use teleport mastery much . i feel weird my hyper skills for the holy symbol that add drop rate is not available for me to add and i am 156 now . so weird maybe is the SP points have problem

  113. Ayumilove Post author

    @Jeremiah Tan: I have added the analysis/explanation below each skill build 🙂

  114. Jeremiah Tan

    Hi Ayumilove, just wanted to say thank you for all these skill build guide. They make adding sp easier and more correct.

    Do miss all those little analysis you wrote on every job skill.
    Example, why u max certain skills 1st…what skill will be the primary trainging skill… etc.
    When you got the free time, just do some simple write-up analysis, to those section you miss out.

    Happy mapling 😀

  115. Ayumilove Post author

    @merc: Cast the Genesis first, so you can spam Big Bang without any cooldown. On my side, Big Bang deals much more damage when they are both Level 1. Purchase Mastery Book from NPC at Leafre to unlock Level 10 cap to Level 20 (7 million meso) and Level 30 (10 million meso).

  116. merc

    AYUMILOVE i based on the old built where you have tp add luk into the account. so i guess for safe. somehow for me if eel like the attack of angel ray is higher compare to big bang , but big bang sometimes you have to charge and it is quite troublesome.so i always use angel ray when hunting but angel ray will have lag time whne it is use. what about the bahamut drafgon do i have to max it? i currently max arcane overdrive, buff mastery,hero will,advance blessing,bless harmony.the rest the skills are only till 10 .which skil should i max yet? now i am 146,so i have like about 15 sp left do not know which skill to be added? dragon or bigbang or angel ray

  117. Ayumilove Post author

    @Pang: Personally I use Big Bang for training as it deals much higher damage compared to Angel Ray and it has lower activation/casting delay. If you are in a party, Angel Ray can be quite useful to heal allies/party-members while attacking the enemy, but they have to remain in the Angel Ray shooting path to be healed by it.

  118. Pang

    should i use bigbang to lvling or angel ray?

  119. Ayumilove Post author

    @skyy: Are you referring to Epic Adventure and Heaven’s Door? Both skills are Hyper Skills. Epic Adventure is unlocked at Level 200 and Heaven’s Door is unlocked at Level 170.

  120. skyy

    hey, ayumi can I ask what is the last two skills? Why my character don’t have?

  121. Ayumilove Post author

    @Thugles: No worries though. If you are solo mostly during training or bossing, then you can skip the Holy Fountain and have all the SP (Skill Points) distributed into Mystic Door. Also, once you reach 4th Job, you can switch to a different sub job (example: Ice/Lightning Archmage or Fire/Poison Archmage). You can switch into that and switch back to Bishop to have all your SP reset. This method costs a lot of meso but does not cost you any real money to purchase NX SP Reset Coupon from Cash Shop.

  122. Thugles

    Ayumi, I maxed Shining Ray by mistake in EMS(I was confused with the old build D: ) and I’m lvl 98 now, I have everything maxed except Mystic Door(3) and Holy Fountain(5). Is I keep going with this character, will I have trouble with 4º job skills? Can I keep with him normally? I was planning to max Mystic Door and leave Holy Fountain since I barely use it… I really don’t want to delete my character… do I need to?

    Thanks in advance!

  123. Ayumilover

    Thank you.

  124. Ayumilove Post author

    @Ayumilover: Mastery 20+30 books is used to unlock the following Bishop Skills (Angel Ray, Genesis, Big Bang, Infinity, Bahamut, Advanced Blessing and Maple Warrior).

    Purchase mastery book from NPC at Leafre based on the sorted 4th job skills in the 4th job skill build. In short, max Buff Mastery (Level 10), then moved on to purchasing Mastery Book 20 to fully unlock Advanced Blessing, max that skill, (rinse and repeat) for the other skills that requires mastery book.

    Regarding the Hyper Skill, you could grab the ones that are first available to you. The skills listed in the recommended Hyper Skill Build isn’t sorted from lowest-to-highest unlock skill level 🙂

  125. Ayumilove Post author

    @Eric: You’re welcome 🙂

  126. Ayumilover

    This is the only trust worthy site that I use for guides.

    One thing I can’t figure out. Which mastery 20 books should I get first? Buff Mastery then Advanced Blessing or are bishops limited to only maxing out Maple Warrior with master books.

    Also Holy Symbol – Item Drop (MAX) has a lower level requirement. Would it be okay for me to pick up say, Holy Symbol – Item Drop then Righteously Idignant then Holy Symbol – Experience?

  127. Eric

    Hey Ayumi have to say this guide really helped me out and I just became a Bishop which is awesome, thank you for this amazing guide and your hard work 🙂

  128. Ayumilove Post author

    @Chong: Shining Ray will be replaced with more powerful skills in 4th job such as Angel Ray and Big Bang. Mystic Door is very useful when you want to return to town quickly to re-pot (purchase potion) or sell junks (equips that aren’t suitable for your job), and quickly return to your training ground before it gets taken by someone else, or just save time instead of walking or using teleporting scrolls.

  129. Chong

    Why dont max shining ray but mystic door ?

  130. Ayumilove Post author

    @Yuiko: Thanks for the note! I removed that one point into Bless first, since down the road, there is the add 5 SP into Invincible 😀

  131. Yuiko

    For second job, it says to put one point into bless as one of the first things to put points into but you don’t get bless until you get level 5 invincible, just pointing that out.

  132. Ayumilove Post author

    @Arceland: Thanks for your feedback! I have corrected the required level for the Hyper Skills based on your list.

  133. Arceland

    It seems that your listed required levels for the Hyper Skills may be slightly jumbled up. For your convenience:

    Holy Magic Shell – Extra Guard (Req Lev : 183)
    Holy Magic Shell – Persist (Req Lev : 162)
    Holy Magic Shell – Cooldown Cutter (Req Lev : 143)
    Holy Symbol – Experience (Req Lev : 168)
    Holy Symbol – Preparation (Req Lev : 189)
    Holy Symbol – Item Drop (Req Lev : 149)
    Advanced Blessing – Ferocity (Req Lev : 195)
    Advanced Blessing – Boss Rush (Req Lev : 177)
    Advanced Blessing – Extra Point (Req Lev: 155)

  134. unknown

    hi,can you please refer me to a build that statesat what level,you have to up which skills please.i cant seem to find on your page a build which says which lvl up what skill.it would be great if you could do it thou.

  135. Unknown

    Do u have any suggestions or guides on which skills to up first and stuff like that,cause I definitely will not reach lvl200, and I’m not sure which skills should I up,and which to not.

    @Mee: Thanks for your feedback regarding the buggy Angel Ray in MapleSEA 😀

  137. Meee

    Thanks alot ayumi.
    Angel Ray seems to be bug though.
    It does not seem to heal my party members.

    @MapleSEA

  138. Ayumilove Post author

    @nickson: Bishop pros (has the most supportive skills, followed by Beast Tamer Cat, able to heal themselves so save meso from purchasing HP potion, highest defense compared to other magicians, so they don’t die that easily, demanded more in party for its Holy Symbol EXP skill) Bishop cons (lower damage compared to Ice-Lightning and Fire-Poison magician, low variety of offensive skills, slow leveling as most enemies are non-zombie/undead to take full advantage of their damage)

  139. nickson

    i means pro and cons of the bishop…sorry for double posting

  140. nickson

    hi what is the pro and cons or the bishop?

  141. Ayumilove Post author

    @meee: Only few powerful boss monsters such as Pink Bean are able to inflict Undead status to you and your party members. If they are in Undead status, if they were to receive healing skill, instead of having their health replenished, it drains their health according to the portion being heal by the skill. Holy Fountain negates that effect. Also, Bishop have an arrow skill that heals allies while damaging enemies, and that skill is called Angel Ray (4th Job Skill)

  142. meee

    Holy Fountain
    Summons the Holy Fountain to recover party member’s HP using holy power. Even a party member in Undead status can use it. Go near the fountain and press the up arrow key to recover. Cannot be summoned near a portal.

    Sorry for not being clear, i was asking about this. Undead status party member

  143. EdwardLimChinShen

    @py You max teleport mastery because you usually use teleport to travel around and at 4th job, you usually would be buffing a lot of other players and probably resurrect. And what’s more, Teleport Mastery increases distance of the teleport and does damage so you would probably need it a lot.

  144. py

    Hi, may i ask why max teleport mastery instead of Shining ray for 3rd job? Is it because 4th job you no longer use it?

  145. Ayumilove Post author

    @Meee: Undead as in Zombie Mushroom, Zombie Lupin (prefix Zombie). These undead enemies will get damage from Cleric’s Heal. For Dark enemies (e.g. Malady, Dark Yeti, Dark Pepe (prefix Dark)), they are immune to this Heal, but they are weak against Holy.

  146. Meee

    hi. may i know what does undead status means? Thanks alot for your site.

  147. Ayumilove Post author

    @ramubottle: You can try out using a Cleric. If you do not like the job, you can switch to Ice/Fire at 4th Job Advancement. So no worries about having to recreate another character and starting over from Level 1. Fire-Poison is geared towards dealing high damage, whereas Ice deals lesser damage but compensated with freezing effect (stops enemies from retaliating) while Cleric has the ability to perform variety of supportive skills to aid and your party members from status ailments and boosts EXP rate.

  148. ramubottle

    Hi! I really find your website very helpful however, despite your thorough guide, I’m still unable to choose between Cleric, Fire-Poison and Ice-Lightning. Any recommendations? I’ve played other classes before, but this is my first time training a Magician. Thanks!

  149. vizer33

    master magic is missing

  150. Ayumilove Post author

    @lifeless: Thanks for the note on the missing specialized skill. Will be adding in later.

  151. Ayumilove Post author

    @midend: Thanks for your comment on the Buff Mastery skill. I’ll add that note below the skill 🙂

  152. midend

    buff mastery is no longer a good skill since it only increases self-timing, and screws your rebuff timing for party skills as others do not receive that extended duration. that being said, if one chooses to solo, this is the perfect skill for the job

  153. lifeless

    missing specialized skill as well

  154. Ayumilove Post author

    @AvalonXion: Yes, once your MapleStory region has RED applied, dump all stats into INT for Magician. When you reach 999 INT (max), you can dump in other stats (e.g. LUK) secondary stat for boosting damage. I think KMS has removed the cap for 999 INT but for us, we still do not have this privilege.

  155. AvalonXion

    Just wondering what are your thoughts on the APs. I’m a returning player and wondering if i should just go auto assign or just put everything into INT.

  156. Ayumilove Post author

    @David: Thanks for the notice. Made the necessary correction 🙂

  157. David

    I think the description for Big Bang was copied exactly from Genesis? 😛

  158. Ayumilove Post author

    @A Friendly Priest: Thanks for your feedback! I have added your correction to the guide 🙂

  159. A Friendly Priest

    I have noticed something off about the skills in your guide.

    Bishop 3rd Job
    1. Magic Critical –> (SAME)

    should be

    Bishop 3rd Job
    1. Magic Critical –> Arcane Overdrive

  160. Ayumilove Post author

    @Zanjox: If you are playing GMS RED, they have somehow changed how Genesis works. You can’t spam Genesis like last time. Try casting Big Bang. It will allow you to spam Gensis afterwards. Also, make sure you have sufficient MP to cast the spell and have a wand/staff equip to cast offensive skills. And try to have all your 1st, 2nd and 3rd job SP (Skill Points) allocated.

  161. Ayumilove Post author

    @Leu: No worries. You will need Level 5 Bless to unlock 4th Job Advanced Blessing.

  162. Zanjox

    Hi can someone help me i am a bishop with maxed genesis but i cant use it since 2012 it says you may not use this skill yet. It has nothing to do with the cooldown. Who can help me?

  163. Leu

    hey ayumi! i accidentaly didnt raise Skill Bless (adv, 2) to its max. I have 9 points on it. Do u know if this is going to affect me somehow in supperior lvls?
    Thanks!!

  164. Luu

    I’m shocked; majority of the players here are english educated BUT their english isn’t up to standard. DAT ENGLISH THOU!
    But thanks for the skill build guides. ever thought of trying Dragon Nest?

    ayumi can u pls add a training spots for cleric? thank you

  166. Ayumilove Post author

    Hi Darian, I don’t think skill book are required for Adventurer once the RED patch has been implemented. All the skills are made available. However, the skill level cap (Level 20 and Level 30) for some skills are unlocked by using mastery books purchased from an NPC located in Henesys and Leafre (7m, 10m). It can be use on any skills that requires unlocking.

  167. Ello

    @darian: Pre Red: Yes, Post Red: No

  168. Darian

    hey Ayumi, will you need a skill book for angel ray?

  169. HeroezMastazz

    I saw on cleric skills, to save up for “pre-requisite” skills. What does pre-requisite mean by that???

  170. Exi

    Hi Ayumi,

    I have heard that the mastery book system will be changed/removed, but how is it changed, and as a player, should I sell all my mastery books prior to the patch to prevent losses? Or are they still useful after?

    Thank you!

  171. dvdemon

    The cleric bless add bonus exp can stack with holy symbol and enjoyable winter? If yes i am going to train bishop~

  172. Ayumilove Post author

    Hi Sam, the skill described that Angel Ray only hits 1 maximum target (not 6) but additional 4 more hits (total 8 hits vs 1 enemy) when Vengeance of Angel buff is active.

  173. Ayumilove Post author

    Thanks for the notice Pillr! I was wondering why Bishop is missing 3 passive boosting skills, usually there are 9 of them but here there is 6. I have added the 3 Holy Magic Shell Hyper Skills above.

  174. Sam

    Vengeance of Angel: damage boost to Angel Ray has been removed, Angel Ray’s number of hits boost has been increased from 1 to 4, in addition to existing effects Vengeance of Angel now decreases Angel Ray’s number of monsters hit to 1 and reduces its HP healed by 40%, you can now use buffs while Vengeance of Angel is active, while this skill is not active your total damage will be increased by 40%

    Source: Orange Mushroom

    So which is correct? Yours mention that this hyper only gives +1 line to Angel’s Ray whilst the other says its +4 lines now.

  175. Pillr

    Hi,are all holy magic shell hyper skill removed after RED patch?

  176. Ayumilove Post author

    Hi Concerned Mapler, you can create priest for Holy Symbol as it will provide additional EXP for faster leveling. If MapleSEA implements the RED patch update, it will be the same with RED, unless they perform a nerf if they see its OP and vice versa.

  177. Concerned Mapler

    Hi ayumilove!

    Just wondering, before I create a priest for the sole purpose of Holy Symbol, is mapleSea’s version exactly the same as RED? In other words, if i create a priest in mapleSea, will the Holy Symbol buff, at max level, be an increase of 50% exp?

    Please reply. Thank You!

  178. Ayumilove Post author

    Hi Coixon, the revamp makes most of their skill much more practical for training purposes. Stronger or weaker is more or less the same (balance) 🙂

  179. Coixon

    Hi xinyi, Magician teleport skill has moved from 2nd job skill to 1st job skill in MapleStory RED (Revolution Evolution Delight) Update.

  181. xinyi

    Hi, did you miss out teleport in 2nd job skill? Should also max right?

  182. omar

    really the skill angel revenge will low me of speed attack???

  183. Ayumilove Post author

    Hi Brian, all skills will be made available in MapleStory RED. Therefore you do not need to hunt skill book from bosses such as Hard Hilla or Chaos Zakum. However, they have kept the need for mastery books for all jobs except Cygnus Knights. In MapleStory RED, they have simplified the Mastery Book System, which makes all Mastery BOok Level 20 applicable to any skill. So now, the mastery book that is unrelated to your class are converted via NPC/automatically (not sure which 1) you can use it on your skill.

  184. Brian

    Will bishops still need the angel ray skill book???

    Hi Jared Rainey, I spend approximately 30 minutes to an hour updating this site, replying commentators and/or correcting mistakes found on the guides. The ad is sufficient to pay my website hosting fees but doing this for a day-job is kinda wishful thinking. Are you planning to create a website to earn money or out of hobby?

  186. Jared Rainey

    Hey Ayumi, I really love how much dedication you have with this website. Whenever I’m looking for something related to a class build or training, I see you on the first page in Google! I really want to make a successful website myself, not MS though, I enjoy playing the game occasionally, but nothing I’m passionate about. Could you share some of the statistics for your site with me possibly? I’m really interested in how much time you spend to update/maintain the content, and possibly a ballpark range of what you make on ad revenue? Knowing these things would help me find the motivation to act I think. 🙂 I totally understand if you don’t want to share these things in public, but maybe you would be willing to email me? You should have that from this form I’m filling out…

    Thank you!

    @Lee Shao Wei- I’m no Ayumilove but i believe you can train at mp3 as i think they are undead so that you holy skills and heal will be great againts them and people would want you for hs, bless, maybe heal, door, etc

  188. Lee Shao Wei

    Ayumilove , do you know where to train when my priest is at level 95? Cause I have no idea where to train my priest.

  189. Lee Shao Wei

    Thanks for the help .

  190. Ayumilove Post author

    Hi Lee Shao Wei, KMST has just launched the new explorer/adventurer reorganization. As a result, MSEA is still using the old Tempest Explorer skills. We will need to wait approximately 6-8 months after KMS has finalize the skill changes, but this also depends on how well MSEA can deliver them. MSEA has been slowly launching patches, moving towards 1 big patch instead of giving out in intervals.

  191. Lee Shao Wei

    On MSEA , there’s no holy fountain and divine protection in my priest . May I know why ?
