This makes Farming especially easy, something that would be more difficult for IL and an impossibility for any priest.
A IL would come next, because although they can't kill as effectively as a FP, they have the freeze attribute which saves them a lot of money and still allows them to train somewhere with good drops.
The last comes Priests. While they don't use pots, they don't save much money, because a priest's money comes from leeching their party. Being the person who doesn't kill at all, a priest also receives the least monetary split in a party. Since they can't train anywhere else other than heal weak without spending a huge amount of money (because of SR's range), they won't be able to farm. And what kind of party will split something expensive with a priest. At wolf spiders, I bet if a warrior and priest in a party, and the warrior found an ilbi, the priest still gets no split. Partying and leeching just isn't a reliable, fast source of money. The only way a priest can make fast money is by collecting splits from Zakuming, which isn't available to all priests.
During fourth job however, I believe it is reversed. FP = Bishop > IL. The reason is that mist is almost as fast as genesis, however, uses significantly less money. IL however, will be forced to use twice a Bishops money to gain back at the same rate.
I plan to add a farming section.
But WITHOUT farming and just straight training is what I meant.
Your WS guide shows one place where F/Ps stand to make a large amount of potential money though. Really I just need more info on the amounts Mages make in normal training-(not specialized like Pirate exploding etc.)
BUt generally speaking straight training No godly luck- Priests will have the lowest Pot cost- and general revenue.
Also Priests solo/pq until 71- and the first few levels in my opinion should be spent at Voodoos.
