Well there's probably about 500 threads like this, but i'm seriously about to pull my own hair out because i can't come up with a decision. Whether or not to go f/p, i/l, or cleric... btw, i've made a thread like this in the i/l and f/p section aswell This is just to clerics/priests/bishops though, a couple questions. 1)Is your mage fun/enjoyable? 2)Do you do solo training often, or mostly pt training, and is pt training fun, or boring? 3)Is the training decent? Those are my 3 main concerns, feel free to add anything else that might help influence my decision.

1) My cleric is very enjoyable. Cause I hold lives in the process of PQing, which I get invited to without even asking most of the time. I can solo by mobbing at MP3s or party in any PQ I want (LMPQ, OPQ, EPQ and soon PPQ) 2) I mostly party training cause I like the thought that it's not pure grinding at that you get good EXP most of the time, doesn't take long and has a good chance of getting good rewards at the end which I can merchant. 3) If by training, you mean by solo training, then yes because clerics are one of the fastest to level because of the dozens of great EXP places. Plus, undead monsters drop the BEST equips and items out of all the monsters (not bosses).

1) Fun is subjective, For me it's kinda fun, I dont know about you. 2) I solo train most of the time and occasionally party trained to overcome the priest hell levels. 3) Yes

1)Is your mage fun/enjoyable? Yes it is. I love being a priest. You never get bored because you are usually training with someone. 2)Do you do solo training often, or mostly pt training, and is pt training fun, or boring? PT train MOSTLY, but you can solo. PT training is fun as rolling in pudding and not getting dirty trust me you wont get bored either 3)Is the training decent? Decent + decent = AWESOME You can EASILY get 4 lvls a day at lvl 77-90 with himes. (matters on att and how long you play) also, at lvl 86 i got 1 lvl per 1 hour with 2xp

1) as long as I don't grind alone yes (I hate to see the heal animation for 30 min. straight) 2) party training and PQs are the way to go 3) the training is pretty good

1) Frankly, I don't think so. I just do it cause I'm hoping to be able to buy leech when I get enough money in order to get him to priesthood, then use him as a HS mule. I wish I had made him an I/L 2) I'm at the level that I'm doing CPQ, but generally, I prefer training in parties. 3) Depends. NEVER go to Platoon Chronos. It'll kill being a Cleric for you. It's too darn slow. (Note that I did this before CPQ came out. Long story, and I don't feel like explaining)

1)Yes, my mage is quite enjoyable to play because I get invited into parties a lot for my skills. Enjoy this while you're in the last few levels as a cleric, once your a brand new priest you'll have to level a bit to make people appreciate you again. xD 2)I do SOME solo training at MP3, or if some of my friends want cheap/free MP3 leech then they're welcome to join me. Up until level 68, I OPQ'd and I quit LMPQ'ing at around level 63 because of how tedious and boring it was. I prefer parties, though. 3)Training can be decent if your dedicated to it; MP3 is quite good at level 60+, and I find it's good exp at level 70+, too. Otherwise, just go to OPQ, LMPQ, MPQ and what-not. :P

1)Is your mage fun/enjoyable? define, "fun". one of the things that good about clerics that every1 wants to be friends with them. on the other hand, you kinda being used. I never got post lvl 60 with a mage, but I KNOW THEY ARE LEVELING FAST. do you define this as fun? 2)Do you do solo training often, or mostly pt training, and is pt training fun, or boring? personly, I HATE SOLO TRAINING. thats why I am a pq hore. clerics do mostly pt. and again. THEY LEVEL UP FAST. do you define this as fun? 3)Is the training decent? Nina - il mage. did 114~120 in one day at firebanders elle - not really training person, but a priest. did 93~98 in few training hours at himes Nikki - leveled 86 ~ 89 I think. everyday, one lvl. idk where she trained. robert - 100~120 in less then a week. newts (priest). sam - another bishop. I seen her one day and she were 101, about a month late she was like 135 Mango - he doesn't spam train much. he just use his bishop to leech, but he did 120~165 in 2.5 months. (and he didn't really train it) mike - wow. my ex bff. did 90~100 in about 6 days at red kents I think. (il mage) Will - il arch mage. I met him out one month ago. he was like 189 then. today he is like 194. those were my mage friends O__O;;

1 ) It's very enjoyable, thank you. I would recommend making a cleric if you're of the social type, and there's always a guarantee that you will be added into parties 2 ) I prefer PQing, better enjoy it while I still can =p And training with a party is fun if your party members are fun 3 ) As you certainly must know, our damage sucks , so at lower lvls ( 5x-6x, perhaps ), if you solo and grind, you will have to go to weaker monsters to b able to train effectively ( few hits, faster EXP than many hits, more EXP ) But of course, undead monsters are your friends Go heal !

1) Yes, I find my Priest to be very enjoyable and can't wait to get to 4th job. 2) I like solo training but I do party quests whenever I get bored. 3) Yes. Clerics level really fast for 51-70 because of MP3. Priests level really fast at 80 - 110 (?) because of Himes. Bishops level really fast 120+ because of Skeles.

1) totally. i love it. but it's all up to you, different ppl have different preferences. i love being one tho. 2) mix of both. party more tho, since i lk to chat and stuff. 3) yea, its pretty good.

1)Is your mage fun/enjoyable? It was until 45 but according to my friend after the 45-50 slow down its all up hill. 2)Do you do solo training often, or mostly pt training, and is pt training fun, or boring? I CPQ and Solo train equally and I CPQed for like 15 levels so tha got boring but I don't mind training alone its not bad. 3)Is the training decent? From 30-45 its great at CPQ or Chronos and such but once you hit 45-50 it slows down then begins to pick up.

1)Is your mage fun/enjoyable? I love my Bishop to bits. 2)Do you do solo training often, or mostly pt training, and is pt training fun, or boring? I party train more often, simply because I get better EXP, and it is way more fun then soloing. 3)Is the training decent? We are one of the fastest trainers in the game 120+, due to our AWESOME Genesis that can hit up to 15 Monsters at once.

In second job i solo'd most of it, considering i hated CPQ and LMPQ. 3rd job however, solo training is very difficult. Easiest and cheapest way is to party with someone, especially DKs (so you don't need to use mg). And, it's crazy fast levelling both priest and bishop. Cleric was nothing. Training isn't "fun" to me . But i spose that could change once i hit bishop.

1)Is your mage fun/enjoyable? Heck yeah. Pretty easy to train too :D 2)Do you do solo training often, or mostly pt training, and is pt training fun, or boring? I only party trained like, 4 times in my whole MS career o_O I normally don't interact with strangers, so I prefer soloing, which can be as fast as pting. 3)Is the training decent? The best. Pretty godly %/hr compared to my friends.
