FAQ
When can you become a Cleric in Classic World?
At level 30. Grendel the Really Old in Ellinia starts the 2nd job chain; you collect 30 Dark Marbles in the Magician Job Instructor's test (The Forest North of Ellinia), bring The Proof of a Hero back and choose Cleric.
What weapons does a Cleric use?
Wands and staves. Spell speed ignores weapon speed, so the class guides say to take the highest Magic Attack you can equip.
How many SP does it take to max every Cleric skill?
140 SP across 6 skills (MP Eater 20, Teleport 20, Heal 30, Invincible 20, Bless 20, Holy Arrow 30). Our class guides count 121 SP from the advancement to level 70, so something is still unfinished at 70.
Is there a 3rd job after Cleric?
Not yet. Classic World launched with 1st and 2nd job only, so Cleric is your job for now. Nexon hasn't given a date for 3rd job.
Can I plan a Cleric build before spending SP?
Yes. Our skill planner has the Cleric skill tree with every level's stats and prerequisites, and you can share the build as a link.
