Priest Question

[acesman]

How do you increase the skill level of priests? I have not seen an increase when priest unit gain a level. I tried searching the forums, but got no good result.

[Taqwus]

Two ways:

1. Becoming prophet; prophets get +1 holy, or H3 -- whichever is higher.
2. Wielding the Sword of Justice, an artifact that gives +1 holy.

There's no empowerment of holiness.

[Humer]

Combat only:
3. have your priest wield a Crystal Shield
4. Communion raises priest levels, IIRC

[Daynarr]

5. Ring of Wizardry
6. Ring of Sorcery (Still need to confirm this one though)

[Folket]

I doubt that Ring of Sorcery increase holy level. If it does chances are good that elemental staff does as well.

[Daynarr]

Elemental staff increases elements (fire, water, earth, air). Sorcery increases sorcery levels (nature, astral, death, blood). The only question is if holy falls under sorcery in game or not. I'll be in postition to test it soon anyway.

In such case it must be buggy, because in my recent Atlantis demo game I've seen my Basalt Queen prophet casting Word of Power.
Basalt Queen has base priest level 3, prophet gives +1.
I'm pretty sure no items were involved. I could've gotten some from random event, but I doubt it.

If it's a mage-priest with Astral, cast Power of the Spheres.

Word of power is a H4 spell, so there's no bug there.

[Daynarr]

Ok, just tested it - Ring of Sorcery doesn't increase priest level.

So strike no.6.

Another item that increases priest level is Sword of Injustice. It used to increase unholy levels in Dom2 but since there is no more unholy it incrases holy now.
