==Altar Text=Changing faith ===If a priest ever feels the need to begin worshiping a different god, they may be converted by a follower of that faith. Doing so will reduce the faith of the converted to 20% of the preaching skill of the converter, meaning they will no longer be a priest. As above, either of the special altars may also be used, but this will result in faith being set to 1.

== Losing priesthood == You can remove your priesthood by going unfaithful, and doing actions your god does not like. When you go below 30 faith, you will lose your priesthood, and your faith will be set down to 20. You may also convert to another god and your faith will go down to 1 and you will lose priesthood. == Losing Premium ==Upon losing premium your faith and favor capped at 20 and you temporarily lost priesthood, all of these will revert back to its original state when you purchase premium. Faith gain beyond 30 is not possible for free accounts. == 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-No priest you. You may perform action as a follower that would not be possible without turning off faithful. ''4-13-2015 <Serraphine> 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, improving|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 30items, so that you will not be left mostly unable to help yourself walls or your village in other ways after you become a prieststructures.# 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 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 priestPriests can however still create, 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 continue and Magranon priests must raise [[soul strength]], Fo plan items and Vynoran Priests must raise [[soul depth]]structures.

== Guides Losing faith ==Going against the will of a god will anger them and as a result the priest will lose faith, the amount lost depends entirely on the action taken. If a priest is to ever drop below 30 faith they will be stripped of their priesthood and re-join the ranks of the followers with an added 10 point loss in faith, leaving them at 20.
