What are the priest skill trees in Knight Online?
You start spending points after the 1st job change: 3,000 Noah to [Grand Merchant] Kaishan in Moradon at level 10. The Master tree opens after the level 60 master quest. The game's preset window names the trees Heal, Aura and Spirit; players just say buff and debuff.

|---|---|---|
| Heal | Single and party heals, cures, melee strikes | Group Complete Healing (60), Critical Restore (70), Past Recovery (75), Past Restore (80) |
| Aura (buffs) | AC, HP and resistance buffs, party buffs | Insensibility Peel (60), Imposingness and Bless Of God (70), Massive Binder (72) … Counter Curse (80) |
| Spirit (debuffs) | Defense, attack and HP debuffs, mana burn, resurrection | Massive (60), Subside (70), Superior Parasite (75), Discountis (80) |
| Master | Passive damage reduction, Judgment and Helis strikes, curse protection | Elysian Web (20), Minak's Thorn (23) |

Battle priest vs support priest: what's the difference?
Every tree has unmissable mace strikes: Collision, Shuddering, Ruin and Hellish in Heal; Wrath, Wield, Harsh and Collapse in Aura; Tilt, Bloody, Raving Edge and Hades in Spirit. They open at 12, 21, 39–42 and 51 points, and the 51-point ones hit hardest: 200% damage + 50. Judgment and Helis in Master are the BP's finishers.
The in-game help says STR raises melee power for every class except rogues, while INT sets a priest's mana. Priest maces usually ask for both:
| Mace | Level | STR | INT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Knight Mace | 80 | none | 126 |
| [Steel Lion] Priest Mace | 80 | none | 126 |
| Castellan's teachings | 70 | 111 | 123 |
| Priest Impact | none | 113 | 176 |
| Priest Bone crasher | none | 106 | 162 |
| Priest Cracker | none | 99 | 148 |
- Battle priest (BP): the common player build is STR and INT together; STR for the hits, INT for mana and the mace requirement.
- Support (buff or heal) priest: INT up to your gear's requirement, the rest into HP. A priest who doesn't die keeps the party alive.
- Debuff priest: INT and HP as well, with the skill points stacked in Spirit. None of these splits are official; NTTGame doesn't publish stat advice.
How should a level 83 priest spend skill points?
With 148 points, one tree at 80 and Master at 23 leaves 45. Four setups, our take:
| Style | Heal | Aura | Spirit | Master |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Buff priest | 45 | 80 | 23 | |
| Heal priest | 80 | 45 | 23 | |
| Debuff priest | 45 | 80 | 23 | |
| Battle priest (BP) | 51 | 74 | 23 |
In the BP row, Heal 51 gives Hellish, and Aura 74 gives Collapse plus the party buffs Massive Binder and Round Insensibility. Our take: if you're the only priest in the party, go buff priest; if you roam CZ on your own, BP is more fun.
How do you unlock priest 70–80 skills?
Beyond the points, the 70+ skills need [Priest] Minerva's skill quests. Minerva is inside Luferson Castle (Karus) and El Morad Castle (El Morad). With seven quests, priests do more skill quests than any other class:
| Quest | Level | Spell Stone Powder | Skills unlocked |
|---|---|---|---|
| 70Lv skill | 70 | 5 | Critical Restore, Imposingness, Bless Of God, Subside |
| 72Lv skill | 72 | 7 | Massive Binder |

| 75Lv skill | 75 | 10 | Past Recovery, Superior Parasite |
| 76Lv skill | 76 | 11 | Insensibility Guard |
| 78Lv skill | 78 | 12 | Superioris |
| 80Lv skill | 80 | 15 | Past Restore, Counter Curse, Discountis |
That's 69 Spell Stone Powder in total; you get it by dismantling accessories at Narki (Knight Online Narki: where to find him and what dismantling items gives you). Every class's list: Level 70 and 80 skill quests.
