== Losing priesthood ==You No priest can remove your priesthood by going unfaithful and doing actions your god does not like[[improving|improve]] items, walls or structures. When you go below 30 faithPriests can however still create, you will lose your priesthood and your faith will be set down to 20. You may also convert to another god continue and your faith will go down to 1 plan items and you will lose priesthoodstructures.

=== Premium =Losing faith ==Once Going against the will of a player no longer has [[premium]] time their faith and favor god will be capped at 20 anger them and as a result the priest will temporarily lose priesthoodfaith, the amount lost depends entirely on the action taken. Once premium time If a priest is purchased all skills, including religion, will revert back to its original state. Faith gain beyond ever drop below 30 is not possible for nonfaith they will be stripped of their priesthood and re-premium accountsjoin the ranks of the followers with an added 10 point loss in faith, leaving them at 20.

== Preparing to Become a Priest ==  === Basic or Premium? === You must have Premium time to be a priest. It is by far the best option to start your priest as a premium character from the outset, the reason being that all your characteristics will then be rising the whole time you are raising your Faith. You will return to being a follower when you lose premium but getting it again will re-priest you. You may perform action as a follower that would not be possible without turning off faithful. ''4-13-2015 {{event|inline|<SerraphineGod> I can mine as a "non-premium" Fo priest, without clicking the unfaithful button.'' Ensure you don't do anything that will change your faith points, such as repeated actions that go against your god. === Become a Follower === # Research each religion's priests abilities and penalties to find which will suit you.# See [[Fo]], [[Libila]], [[Magranon]], [[Vynora]]# Raise your Faith to 30.# As a [[follower]] you cannot raise your Faith beyond 30. === Skills === # Nature skills should probably be kept as low as possible if you are on a basic account, since they generally affect soul characteristics which, in turn, improve spell casting abilities. Keeping them low at the start in that case should help you raise soul faster if you become premium.# Support skills such as [[blacksmithing]], [[carpentry]], [[cloth tailoring]], [[masonry]], [[pottery]], [[stone cutting]] and [[woodcutting]] should all be raised to at least 20, and probably 30, so that you will not be left mostly unable to help yourself or your village in other ways after you become a priest.# You should strongly consider raising [[Mind logic]] to 20.1 and [[Body control]] to 21 for the ability to command sailing boats and to ride horses. These characteristics are much harder to gain without crafting. === Characteristics === Assuming that no longer accepts you start as a premium character or that you intend to become premium around the time you become a priest, it is important to raise your Strength characteristic to at least 21 before you become a priest, since most priest penalties affect skills that raise strength well. When you become a priest you must raise your soul strength/depth in order to improve the outcome of your spells. Libilian and Magranon priests must raise [[soul strength]], Fo and Vynoran Priests must raise [[soul depth]]. == Guides == * [[Priest Guide]]* [[Priest Guide Sincor]]* [[Before priesting]]!}}
