Applying

Visit the Monk Temple (prt_monk), located one map East, one map North and two maps East of Prontera. Talk to Guarding Monk (58,247) then to Sensei Moohae (245,104). If the player qualifies for a monk (being a job 40 or above Acolyte with all skill points used), he will give information of the first test: item collecting.

Item Collection Test

Sensei Moohae will assign the player one of the following quests:

Once the items have been collected, return to Sensei Moohae. The player will be directed to Elder Touha, located at (prt_monk 251, 255), in the top right area, for the memory test.

Memory Test

Elder Touha will have the player remember one of the following:

  • And sheperds we shall be, for thee my lord for thee. Power path decended forth from the hand so our feet may swiftly carry out thy command and we shall flow a river forth thee and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In nomine Patris, et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.
  • I seek the path of enlightenment. We monks shall hold true to what we believe and will help protect others through the teachings we learn through our lives. In nomine Patris, et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.
  • I commit myself to veritas and aequitas. I will follow my path to enlightenment and purity. I will protect my brothers with life. Evil shall never be victorious while I breathe. In nomine Patris, et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.

She will read entire passage out before allowing the player to recite it. There is no penalty for failing; the player can simply retry the test. Once complete, the player will be sent to Boohae, located at (prt_monk 57, 179), on the bottom left side of the map.

Physical Test (Marathon/Mushroom Collecting)

Boohae will give the player an option of two tests: Marathon and Mushroom collecting. Later, the player may return to Boohae to change the test, if it is needed.

Marathon

If the player chooses "Marathon": Talk to the door keeper in front of the Abby at (prt_monk 192,170). After, enter the building and find Bashu. Tell him "Marathon". He will then send the player to another area.

Run around this map without falling into the pits for many laps (about 10) to complete the Marathon test. The map is shaped like a ring, with occasional holes that players can fall into. This test is easier to complete by lowering the camera angle very low, allowing pits far ahead to be seen easily.

Note that disconnecting will send a player back to their save point. After the test is completed with the needed amount of laps, the player will automatically be sent out. It takes approximately 30 minutes with Increase Agility to complete.

Collect Mushrooms

This test is recommended over the marathon, because is less risky.

If the player chooses "Collect Mushrooms": they will be sent to another map and you must hunt two types of mushrooms (Goey & Orange) until the player has enough points. The NPC does not tell the player which Mushroom is worth more points, he just states that he will tell you when the player has enough. A gooey mushroom is 1 point and a net is 3 points: 100 or more points are required.

The mushrooms from the thief test can also be used. While it is possible to have a thief gather the mushrooms, it should be easier to have an acolyte with high agility and buffs to complete this test faster. It is best to do this bare-handed for maximum ASPD (since the damage is 1 even with a weapon).

The Maze

Now locate Tomoon, also found indoors within the Abby (prt_monk 192, 170) inside what appears to be a glowing plus sign. He sends the player to an invisible maze. Be warned that during this test, monsters will spawn, such as Zombies and Mummies. They should not be much of a challenge, but keep in mind that players don't have much maneuvering area here.

It is possible to check if a certain cell is passable by pointing the cursor at it. Walkable cells will have the usual green walk marker; if there is none, then that cell is blocked. Generally, try sticking to a straight line from the door to the exit. If there is a choice of routes, take the one that goes closer to the center line. Patience is highly required. Disconnecting in this test will send a player back to their save point.

Job Change

Talk to Tomoon again and drink the Green Potion he hands over. Then return to Moohae who, after giving a lengthy speech, job changes the Acolyte into a Monk.
