    Hey everyone, I've been playing for a bit more than a week now and currently have a 73 Priest and ~100M.

    From the info I've gathered, Bishop books are extremely expensive in comparison to Archmage books (namely their ultimate skills).

    Right now I'm torn between two decisions:

    1) Continue to level the Priest to a Bishop and sell GS2 leech until Gen 20 is achieved
    Points to consider:
    - Do Priests have an easier time reaching 120? (Possibly free leech sometimes due to HS)
    - Saves time from creating and levelling another mage
    - Expensive
    - Weaker damage? unsure

    OR

    2) Stop at 81 to use as an HS Mule and make a I/L or F/P Mage to sell leech
    Points to consider:
    - Much cheaper
    - Difficult to reach 120 compared to Priests?
    - Higher damage?

    If option 2) seems to be a better choice for me, would I/L or F/P be a better choice?

    My ultimate goal is to have a steady, reliable source of leeching income

    Thanks in advance for any advice and opinions

    I am a 200 bishop and 192 IL mage
    so ill leave u the pros and cons i've found in both classes

    Bishop pros:
    -Earlier access to money 12x by low lvl leeching / Can leech in low lvl places
    -Can go to bosses and get drops >this is important<
    -You dont need to use mules at all
    -People still thinks skeles is better for leeching
    -Has more utility than archmage in general(door op)
    can farm goobies ez due aquaroad mobs being neutral to holy (and strong to fire and ice) this is also important
    Can use any wand
    Bishop cons:
    -Gen is expensive
    -Cant onehit petris until 19x and well funded, damage a bit lower in general
    -Harder than archmages onehit mobs that arent skeles

    Archmage Pros:
    -Books are cheaper >Important one <
    -Higher damage in general, easier to onehit ulu maps, petris
    -Easier to find training spot, skeles is always crowded
    -Petris (your endgame training spot) gives a lil bit more exp per hour than skeles
    -The ability to sell leech in the 2 best leeching spots (petris and skeles) earlier than bishops due their higher damage
    Archmage Cons
    -No bossing at all
    -Higher mana usage >minor<
    -Depends of HS mule
    -Limited to sell leech to "high lv" training spots starting from ulu1 >minor<
    - The only source of money is leeching

    Ill be editing this if needed but in general Bishop has more options in terms of money making, but archmage is cheaper, if u want to sell leech only, id say archmage is better, but if you want to do more things ingame, bishop.
