Cleric/Priest/Bishop General QandA Thread

This thread was originally started by @Naritta [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/2133819]here[/url]. Unfortunately, it has been locked but I still find that a thread like such would be useful.
Anyway, the point of this thread is to address any common questions about clerics, priests and bishops. Needless be said, there are often times multiple threads in the bishop forum addressing the same topics. If you happen to have a question, you can ask below and hopefully, somebody will respond. (:

Below are some frequently-addressed links:

[quote=DemonSlayer]I have question about hs. If we have hs at lvl 1 it would
give us .1x exp? And 20 2x exp[/quote]

Of course not, we only give 1.5 maxed, what increases is the buff duration and exp won over levels, we never get hs to give us 2x

@Steven522 Buy scrolling service. Trade them your weapon + meso for something of equal value from them for collat, or something like that, while they scroll your weapon. If you feel lucky though you can hunt down those 50% one hand weapon for magic attack and/or 50% staff scrolls and use those instead. The 50% method is what I ended up doing with my emp wand since I was told the GM scrolls were deleted, but apparently they're not according to some people. I haven't been able to find anyone selling GM service though.

[quote=Steven522]i have about 2.3b in pure mesos how much more do i need for a perfectly scrolled empress staff? (no pot no enhancement)
why does playing a bishop make me feel girly ?
does being a bishop make it easier to bag girls? [/quote]
No idea about Beran prices, but if you can still find GM scrolls floating around, they're around 200-300m/each for a staff in Broa. Otherwise, if you plan to 20% it, it's probably going to take a while.
And playing a bishop doesn't make you girly! (: As for bagging girls ... haha idk!

My friend and I do Hilla daily. We'll keep a note of this if we get Angel ray. Price will be 100-150 (depending on which of us has nx to sok it).
No, we will not accept soks and open ourselves to scamming accusations.

Unfortunately, not at the time being. Events do come out where free AP resets are given, however. If you stick around for the next big update, it'll probably come!

[quote=xProHeal]Dumb question time... Can the 3rd Unwelcome Guest shield get %boss on it, or does it have to be lvl 100+ like the Last Unwelcomed Guest and so on?[/quote]
I have a Lv80 Soul shooter with a 20% Boss line (unique), so I guess your shield could get some too.

[quote=mo0o0ody]Does pdr work for increasing bishops damage? I mean is the difference a lot?[/quote]

Depends on the boss, in weak bosses like zakum (40% pdr) the effect is very little, but at chaos pink bean (180% pdr) or chaos root abyss bosses (300% pdr) then its quite noticeable, specially after the pdr system gets nerfed. Bishops have inherit 40% pdr, which is quite a lot. If you get leafre set and Lumi's link skill then you would only need a 18% neb to complete 100% and that would be enough for the time being, some updates later you might want to pump your pdr even further.

[quote=Uhmanda]Playing a bishop now but I don't know whether it's better to get a shield or use the secondary book. Suggestions?

Hi Colour. Famous Broa bishop.[/quote]

In the long run, for funded people, shields are better though a secondary is good if u are poor and can't scroll for magic attack.

Well, i did zakum with some old guildies months ago and i didn't got angel ray, then we tried hilla and i got angel ray in the 2nd try, you know, the skill is awesome and such, but really lacks vertical range

Wait, i don't get my guide's part XD, is it good or is it bad?, the main thing of it is to show how the bishop class works for newbies and to make people know how to advance in this class with not too much trouble
