Solo/Party Priest Hime Training Guide
Maple story Forums : Cleric, Priest, Bishop : Talk about the Cleric, Priest and Bishop classes Thread starter
Since a majority of a Priest’s training time is spent at Dreamy Ghosts or as they are called in GMS, Himes, I decided to create a guide for Priests who want to train there with a DK or go solo. Later on this guide may comprise of other training areas for the Priest.

Other Advice Abbreviations Related Links Credits For your information all skill builds in this guide are exclusively thought up of by me, so I am not forcing you to follow them, they are just my recommendations. Also, it is crucial that you max Heal (duh), Invincible, Bless, and Magic Guard in your 1st and 2nd job advancements. It’s very beneficial to max MP Eater as well.

You pretty much do the same thing as a party Priest except you max SR earlier since you can’t solo efficiently until at least level 95+.

There are 3 main ways of training here with a DK that I have encountered. • Recommended Level: 80+ Monster: Dreamy Ghosts (Himes), Black Crow Map: Encounter with the Buddha Training Method #1: Standing DK Hime Training Recommended Attacker: 90+ Spear DK/100+ PA DK Experience Per Hour: 35 - 40% (At levels 90 - 100 this will die down to about 25 - 30%) Pot Costs: minimal About: This is the most commonly used pattern of Hime training. The DK stands on either the left or right side of the map while the Priest rounds up the Himes and brings them back to the DK. Repeat. Instructional Video: MapleStory - Standing DK Hime Training Guide Training Method #2: Sweeping Pattern of Hime Training Recommended Attacker: 90+ Spear DK/100+ PA DK Experience Per Hour: 45 - 50% (At levels 90 – 100 this will die down to about 30 – 35%) Pot Costs: minimal About: This quite similar to “Standing DK Hime Training”, but instead of the DK staying on one side he/she follows you while only the Priest mobs and you would alternate sides on which you kill the mob. Sometimes if the DK is a talkative one with buddies or whatnot, they will not like this way because they don’t get the time of you mobbing for them in method #1 which they can use to talk. =P Instructional Video: MapleStory - Sweeping Pattern of Hime Training Guide Training Method #3: Middle Mob Hime Training Recommended Attacker: 90+ PA DK/ 100+ Spear DK Experience Per Hour: 55 - 65% (At levels 90 – 100 this will die down to about 30-40%) Pot Costs: minimal About: The DK stands in the center while the Priest teleports from side to side healing Himes and when the Priest teleports pasts the middle of the map all of the Himes that are pursuing him/her will be killed by the DK (It’s best to have a strong PA DK for this method). The DK might not like this method due to the amount of pots that he/she has to use. Also, with a spear DK you might have to stand in the middle as you go from side to side because the Himes will follow you. If you have a PA DK who can hit 6 monsters you can proceed straight to the other side because the DK can knockback the Himes. Instructional Video: MapleStory - Middle Mob Hime Training Guide Training Method #4: Middle Mob Hime Training V2 Recommended Attacker: 13x–14x+ Shadower Experience Per Hour: 40 – 45% (This was at level 96) Pot Costs: minimal About: I call it middle mob training, but honestly I believe that you should let the Shadower take advantage of his speed and be able to move around killing Himes whenever he sees them. The Priest will just mob side to side while the Shadower navigates around the whole map and kills the monsters. Skrato also pointed out that doing the side to side method with a Shadower is great experience as well. My experiences show otherwise, but it may be different for you. Instructional Video: MapleStory – Middle Mob Hime Training Guide V2 Overall Advice on the Training Methods: I fiercely advise that you train at Himes without Magic Guard unless you are very well funded and won’t mind spending 1.5 – 2m an hour. Also, keep in mind that these %/hr’s are based on my experiences and you should get roughly the same amount if you do it the same way I did in the movies. The pot costs correspond to what I usually pay. MP eater is helpful to you too, with it you will never have to use an MP pot unless you have MG on. By the way, I took out the pot costs and just made them all say minimal because the amount of money you spend at Himes without MG on is really up to you and your skill level of being able to dodge the Himes when you cast buffs. • Recommended Level: 95+ Monster: Dreamy Ghosts (Himes), Black Crow Map: Encounter with the Buddha Solo Training Method: Telecasting SR Back and Forth Hime Training Experience per Hour: 28-32% (Will slowly go down as you level) Pot Costs: 500-600k About: In solo training for Himes you telecast backwards to avoid the Himes attack. It is the most expensive since you must use MG. The only way you would not have to use MG at level 95 is if you have HP equips or have HP washed in the past. Using HP equips while soloing is highly unfavorable because you won’t hit nearly as much damage leading to getting only 10% an hour. Instructional Video: Isilies Hime Solo and How to Solo Himes as a Priest Training Method #1: Left or Right Mob Training You can perceive in this training method that you hardly ever get hit while casting HS thus making it the most money-friendly way to train. Once again, the DK just stands on one side of the map and you teleport to the other side and back gathering the Himes. Once you get back to your DK you cast your buffs and kill the mob, then repeat. Training Method #2: Left to Right Mob Training It’s evident that this training method is a lot faster in terms of experience, but has the downfall of you and your DK not having that “special” time to cast buffs before the mob comes. In the video you might be able to notice that I am casting HS near the end when there aren’t many Himes around. If you get hit by one of the Himes just make sure you use one of those trusty Barbarian Elixirs! Training Method #3: Middle Mob Training This is the most expensive training method for the DK and Priest if they are partying. The Priest teleports from side to side healing Himes and when the DK can he/she kills them. Again, if you get hit by one of the Himes use a Barbarian Elixir. Solo Training Method: Telecasting SR Back and Forth There is only one way to solo Himes efficiently as a Priest and it is high-priced. Get over it! By the time you are level 95 the experience per hour with a DK is getting slooooow and soloing is a great option. For this to work to the full potential it is conclusive that you have at least average equips, if not, scrolled. Hopefully the video is self explanatory and I don’t need to explain it further. It’s perfectly understandable if you’re not sure what pots you should use to get the best meso to MP ratio so I’m determined to make a section that will help many of you. I am going to sort this not by your level, but by the total MP you have. Another nice thing is that, as a Priest, you don’t have to worry about the amount that pots heal to HP because we have Heal. XXX - 1499 MP: Waffles = 300 HP and 300 MP for 600 mesos. It’s a 1:1 ratio for MP and HP healed for each meso spent (At this MP you won’t have a good heal yet so you need these for a while) 1500 – 4666 MP: Sorcerer Elixirs = 1500 MP for 1500 mesos. It’s a 1:1 ratio for MP to each meso spent. Now you don’t need HP pots anymore so use these. 4667 – 30000 MP: Mana Bulls = 60% MP for 2800 mesos. It’s a 1:1 ratio for MP to each meso spent to start and at 30k MP it’s a .156 meso to MP ratio. It seems like I made a mistake earlier on. Mana Bulls are actually the best pots to be using from 4667 MP all the way until max MP(30k). Keep in mind that these are only the pots to use while you are training at Himes. By the way you should always have Barbarian Elixirs at Himes (Remember? When you get hit while casting HS you need to use one of these). I know that you won’t be going to Himes with 1xxx MP, but I still included those pots to help clerics earlier. As someone mentioned, you can also use the Ramen drops instead of Barbarian Elixirs. Apparently they heal 1500 HP as well. *The Golden Rule:* “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” This basically means treat the DK with respect if you want respect returned. If you don’t want the DK to shout commands out at you, then don’t shout commands out at him/her. Use as much common sense as you possibly can (Think before you act). Before you enter a map it’s wise to have MG on until you check the whole map to make sure it is clear of Black Crow. Be courteous to other Hime trainers…we don’t want to start fights. If you are training at Himes with anyone but a DK or yourself get enough HP from equips to be able to take a hit from them and then use the “Standing DK Hime Training” method except with whatever class you have.

Ah, thank you ghostie. I'll have to fix that.Edit: it turns out that Mana Bulls are actually the best forever. You see, I was figuring out when the pot became a 1:1 ratio so then I added it in, but forgot that Mana Bulls would have a better ration as your MP got higher.
Very nice guide.Argh, I wish I was the only one who had a stickied cleric thread. But that aint ever coming back. Anyways nice guide. New Blog: Do you feel this summer flew by?
Why did you want yours to be the only guide stickied in the cleric section?
ILike24 said: "All that work just to see how it is being a funded Priest? And being able to solo Himes earlier?" I wouldnt call it work as much as taking advantage of an entire month of 2x events. Also I wouldnt call 91 levels in 2 weeks time work. Anyway Im enjoying the lower levels again, and its nice to see the progression.
Well, atleast you took advantage of the 2x exp.
Ilike24 just curious what your mp is being level 97, MP another reason i restarted almost too many to list but if you could get bored being a l158 bishop i guess anything is possible.
I think I have 6800 MP. Not completely sure though. I'll check later and edit this.
Strange....This reminds of something I think I wrote a while ago. The details of it escapes me though. Good job in any case, although there are a lot more possible ways to work the Himes map than you have listed, depending on the classes you party. If you think they're worthy of putting on the guide, PM me I guess.PS: Oh and for solo, it is entirely possible to do so without using MG after 100 or so , because that's how I went from 104-120. PSS: I don't understand why you only listed partying with DK's in your guide, there are many other jobs out there that you can party with, and HP isn't exactly a problem with basic HP equips. For example, I went to Himes with a Crusader friend of mine at 8x without any problems. PSSS: The old ER build is rather outdated in GMS v.55, because the only map where max ER was really needed was Grims, which did 2k magic damage. Nowadays, noone goes there, and for partying with other jobs at MDTs 1 ER is sufficient. For any other place, be it Himes, Gobies, or any map in Leafre, ER does not function, and so is a far less important skill to max than before.
FatTurtlez, I am adding a way on how to train with shadowers. It's only good with 13x+ shadowers who have better than average equips.
ILike24 said: "FatTurtlez, I am adding a way on how to train with shadowers. It's only good with 13x+ shadowers who have better than average equips." Ooh, I did some training with shadowers, in fact I got many levels with one ... he was level 137-140 and he was a great shadower. We did side-to-side, worked the best for him.
Skrato I disagree with you, because 13x Shadowers are generally very strong with BS the best way is to mob the Himes side to side and let him or her go wherever he wants.
ILike24 said: "Skrato I disagree with you, because 13x Shadowers are generally very strong with BS the best way is to mob the Himes side to side and let him or her go wherever he wants." "worked bist for him" doesn't necessarily mean it was the fastest possible xp. ;)
KataMaster said: " "worked bist for him" doesn't necessarily mean it was the fastest possible xp. ;)" True. I'm sure the way I stated would be the best for everyone though if the shadowed has BS.
ILike24 said: "Skrato I disagree with you, because 13x Shadowers are generally very strong with BS the best way is to mob the Himes side to side and let him or her go wherever he wants." No actually, it is the same for all characters that have mob attacks that do not hit more then 4 monsters, side-to-side is better. We tried boomerang mobbing but it didn't work so well ... about 3% / hr less. Yes of course he has BS, hits at least 15k + 15k each time.
There's no point in going side to side if the Shadower kills them really fast. It's just a waste of time. With BS most funded Shadowers are 2-3hkoing the Himes. When I train with my friend(14x Shadower) he goes where ever he wants and when I pass him he does 2 BS hits and they all die. If it's a lower level Shadower who doesn't have as much funding then side to side may be the only option. Register / login
