Paladins are the ?White Knights? of Vana?diel. Paladins fight for the greater good and believe that with Altana above to guide them, they will drive the evil from the lands. A paladin?s power is derived from his beliefs, they are granted abilities beyond normal warriors from the divine blessing of Altana. A paladin is capable of casting holy spells that aide him and his partners, in battles against evil.

Unlocking The Job (Must Be Level 30)

Quest Giver: Balasiel
Location: South Sandoria (F-7)
Three quests are needed to be completed to attain the job of the Paladin:

1. The first quest is pretty simple. All that is needed is a revival root. This item can be found from a rare drop from the undead. Try fighting undead dogs to get this item. If all else fails try getting from the auction house. Then trade the item with Balasiel.

2. For the second quest will take you on a journey to Ordelles Cave. There is a pool you need to touch at G-7. Find a "???" and touch the water then somewhere close by there is another "???" touch that too and you will get the item. If you are at low levels monsters are aggressive. Try avoiding them or just do this quest with a group. And again trade this item with Balasiel.

3. For the third quest talk to the two tower guards at the east and west post of South Sandoria. Cahaurme at J-9 and Baurise at H-9. After that go to the well in Davoi. It is located at E-10. Examine the well and the item Knight's Soul will be found. It is best to go to the well with a White Mage using sneak and invisible. This quest would still be hard with a group of level 30s, better to just go with a White Mage. Return this item back to Balasiel and you will be able to become a Paladin.
