A rudimentary guide to Cleric

E. 2nd Job
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part A: Noobie Island
A mage needs intelligence as well as a little bit of luck. To be exact, a mage needs (His/her level) + 3 LUK.

For Hackers: You might want to use Unrandomizer to get 4/4/13/4 stats.

On noobie island, you should kill green snails until level 8, which is when you go to Victoria to get the Job Advancement. The most common hunting ground for snails is the first map past all the get-to-know-maplestory quests. Whether it be by Vaccing and Godmoding, or training legitimately, getting a noobie to level 8 is pretty annoying. Each level, or at level 8, put skill points into INT and LUK so that LUK is 3 plus your level and INT is the rest of the points. Your skill build once at level 8 should be 4 STR/4 DEX/41 INT/11 LUK. As for Noobie skills, I'd recommend 1 point into snail shell toss, 3 points into speed, then put the last two points into snail shell toss AFTER reaching level 8. This is so you can use the snail shells recieved from killing Green Snails. Once you reach level 8, you should head to SouthPerry (the quickest way is to die). The first job advancement is to Magician. Talk to Grendel the Really Old on top of Ellinia to advance.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part B: Knowing your Skills
Improving Mana Recovery (16): [Passive] Each level in this increases the user's ability to recover mana by 1. The user's ability to recover mana is also affected by Level and INT.

Improving Max Mana Increase (10): [Passive] Each level in this increases the Maximum MP gained per level by 2, so at level 10, user gains 20 extra Maximum MP per level. Also, if AP points are applied, Maxixmum MP is increased by 3 per level in this skill. (Requires 5 Improving Mana Recovery)

Magic Armor (20): [Supportive] Each level in this increases the user's ability to add weapon defense as well as the duration of the skill. Each successive level increases Weapon Defense by 2 and Duration by 14, starting with 54. (Requires 3 Magic Guard)

Magic Guard (20): [Supportive] Each level in this increases the user's ability to substitute damage to HP with MP as well as the duration of the skill. Each successive level increases the ratio of damage to MP total damage and Duration by 21 seconds, starting with 111.

Energy Bolt (20): [Attack] This skill is an attacking skill that does not follow a steady pattern of increase in damage and mana cost, so I put the following: (Uses One Attack with Basic Damage)
Level 1: MP -6; Basic attack 20, mastery 15%
Level 2: MP -6; Basic attack 21, mastery 15%
Level 3: MP -6; Basic attack 22, mastery 20%
Level 4: MP -6; Basic attack 23, mastery 20%
Level 5: MP -7; Basic attack 26, mastery 25%
Level 6: MP -7; Basic attack 27, mastery 25%
Level 7: MP -7; Basic attack 28, mastery 30%
Level 8: MP -8; Basic attack 31, mastery 30%
Level 9: MP -8; Basic attack 32, mastery 35%
Level 10: MP -9; Basic attack 35, mastery 35%
Level 11: MP -9; Basic attack 36, mastery 40%
Level 12: MP -10; Basic attack 39, mastery 40%
Level 13: MP -10; Basic attack 40, mastery 45%
Level 14: MP -11; Basic attack 43, mastery 45%
Level 15: MP -11; Basic attack 44, mastery 50%
Level 16: MP -12; Basic attack 47, mastery 50%
Level 17: MP -12; Basic attack 48, mastery 55%
Level 18: MP -13; Basic attack 51, mastery 55%
Level 19: MP -13; Basic attack 52, mastery 60%
Level 20: MP -14; Basic attack 55, mastery 60%

Magic Claw (20): [Attack] This skill is an attacking skill also does not follow a steady pattern of increase in damage and mana cost, so I put the following: (Uses Two Attacks with Basic Damage) [Requires 1 Energy Bolt]
Level 1: MP -10; Basic attack 11, mastery 15%
Level 2: MP -10; Basic attack 12, mastery 15%
Level 3: MP -10; Basic attack 13, mastery 20%
Level 4: MP -10; Basic attack 14, mastery 20%
Level 5: MP -11; Basic attack 16, mastery 25%
Level 6: MP -11; Basic attack 17, mastery 25%
Level 7: MP -11; Basic attack 18, mastery 30%
Level 8: MP -12; Basic attack 20, mastery 30%
Level 9: MP -12; Basic attack 21, mastery 35%
Level 10: MP -13; Basic attack 23, mastery 35%
Level 11: MP -13; Basic attack 24, mastery 40%
Level 12: MP -14; Basic attack 26, mastery 40%
Level 13: MP -14; Basic attack 27, mastery 45%
Level 14: MP -15; Basic attack 29, mastery 45%
Level 15: MP -15; Basic attack 30, mastery 50%
Level 16: MP -16; Basic attack 32, mastery 50%
Level 17: MP -17; Basic attack 34, mastery 55%
Level 18: MP -18; Basic attack 36, mastery 55%
Level 19: MP -19; Basic attack 38, mastery 60%
Level 20: MP -20; Basic attack 40, mastery 60%

Part D: Job Advancement and Cleric Skills
The second job advancement involves fighting (durrrrr). Upon reaching level 30, talk to Grendel the Really Old, and he'll give you a letter to take to his find. Go to the top left portal in Ellinia, and follow the maps until you reach His friend (at the top of Forest North of Ellinia). He will take you to a map full of Horned Mushrooms and Cursed Eyes. Kill until you get 30 marbles, then exit the map, via Grendel's friend's friend. Talk to Grendel's friend after obtaining 30 dark marbles, head back to Ellinia and talk to Grendel.

Advantages of Becoming a Cleric: Everyone wants you in his/her party due to Heal and Bless, and later on Holy Symbol.
