6.22.07 - Cleric Affinities

Updated Fri, Jan 02, 2009 by Ralsu

Guide to Cleric Affinities


By Gossamer

Editor's note: The addition of Affinities gives Clerics a way to differentiate themselves from one another. The player choses a path, which is akin to the worship of a particular god, and does a brief quest. The result is a specialization that helps the Cleric perform better in certain situations. Until we get some submissions with pretty pictures, you can read text-only accounts of the quests to obtain an affinity in our Cleric forum. Most of the quests are fairly easy fetch quests.
