====Attacking====
As a Priest, you have plenty of party skills at your fingertips, coupled together with Doom, Shining Ray and Summon Dragon.
It is recommended that you train with parties, as you are will be sought after, and constant experience coming in from party members will help you to train more efficiently. Going to bosses in a party is also an available option. If possible, try to attack the boss, as you will gain more experience points from it this way. Always cast Holy Symbol for them to boost more EXP.
;Summon Dragon versus Doom
Summon dragon is quite weak and costs a Summoning Rock (or Magic Rock in some versions), which is why you only want to spend a maximum of 15 SP on it (the pre-requisite for Bahamut). Although Summon Dragon is much weaker than Bahamut, which you'll gain when you reach 4th job, casting Doom can also be expensive as it also consumes one Summoning Rock. If you're using Doom in a casting rotation, as a typical way to deal with enemies, you will end up using many more Summoning Rocks than you would with Summon Dragon. The other downside to Doom is that even when you have maxed it (30 SP), it only has a 90% chance of success.
;SR-Healing combination
While training on undead monsters (weak to Heal), utilize a combination of Heal and Shining Ray to attract enemies and then destroy them quickly as a group. This method is most effective if you are able to master it without using Magic Guard. Using heal, you should be able to regain any life that small amounts of health that you lose. The downside to using Magic Guard is that you will consume many MP Potions when it's not necessary. Please note that Shining Ray has a limited vertical range, so you will not be able to attack monsters slightly above you. In this case, fighting enemies that respawn quickly on a single, large platform is best. Remember to always cast Invincible and Bless first for safety as the touch damage of higher levels of undead monsters can be high.
;Holy Symbol
In training areas, please be noted that casting Holy Symbol in parties is rather slow. During the animation run time, you can only consume potions, loot or just Teleport to the left/right. It is recommended to cast it when you're hanging on a rope or ladder(if available) to overcome the delay.

As some of you might have noticed, monsters like Pac Pinky, Slimey, Selkie Jr., Mr. Anchor and voodoos and hoodoos are not available in all versions. For versions who lack this exp efficient monsters, another option is to train on mixed golems at the Forest of Golem in Sleepywood, a hidden-street accessible from Sleepy Dungeon 5, press up under a blue flower.

===Priest===
As a Priest, you have plenty of party skills at your fingertips, coupled together with Doom, Shining Ray and Summon Dragon. Summon dragon is quite weak and costs a Summoning Rock (or Magic Rock in some versions), thus, having 15 points in it as a pre-requisite for Bahamut is enough.
Notice: Although Summon Dragon is much weaker than Bahamut which you'll gain in 4th job later, casting Doom can be expensive as it also consumes one Summoning Rock but does not even have 100% Success Rate when you max it to turn monsters into snail.
While training at undead(Heal-Weak) monsters, utilizing Heal and Shining Ray<ref>[SR-Healing method][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWLX5OLhgy8 Priest at MongLong]</ref> can help you attack much faster although this method requires some time for you to master if you choose not to cast Magic Guard as it will drain your MP Potions. Please note that Shining Ray has a limited vertically upward range, so you will not be able to attack monsters slightly above you. Always cast Invincible and Bless first for safety as the touch damage of higher levels of undead monsters can be high.
It is also recommended to train with parties at this stage, as you will be sought after, and constant experience coming in from party members will help you to train more efficiently. Going to bosses in a party is also an available option. If possible, try to attack the boss, as you will gain more experience points from it this way. Always cast Holy Symbol for them to boost more EXP.
Notice: In any training areas, please be noted that casting Holy Symbol in parties is rather slow. During the animation run time, you can only consume potions, loot or just Teleport to the left/right. It is recommended to cast it when you're hanging on a rope or ladder(if available) to overcome the delay.
