1. Artifact Progression

As a Holy Priest, for your first 35 Artifact points, there is a very clear path that you should follow, with very little room for alternative choices.

1. Invoke the Naaru
2. Follower of the Light
3. Holy Hands
4. Reverence
5. Words of Healing
6. Hallowed Ground
7. Power of the Naaru
8. Blessing of T'uure
9. Say Your Prayers
10. Holy Mending
11. Serenity Now
12. Light of T'uure
13. Renew the Faith
14. Guardians of the Light
15. Holy Guidance
16. Trust in the Light
17. Focus in the Light
18. Beacon of Light

After placing these initial 35 points, you should distribute future points as follows.

1. Light of the Conclave
2. Caress of the Naaru
3. Times and Measures
4. Cosmic Ripple
5. Say Your Prayers
6. Holy Guidance
7. Hallowed Ground
8. Power of the Naaru
9. Words of Healing
10. Holy Hands
11. Reverence
12. Serenity Now
13. Trust in the Light
14. Concordance of the Legionfall

2. Relic Choice

Both the item level and trait of the relic can have a huge impact on your choice. Each trait is worth a certain number of item levels in terms of performance; below is a list of each trait and how much they are worth in terms of your weapon's item level. When comparing relics, you should compare the combined item level increase provided by the actual relic and the value in the list below, and then choose the relic with the higher combined value.

1. Say Your Prayers (+3 item levels)
2. Words of Healing, Power of the Naaru, Holy Guidance, and Hallowed Ground (+1 item level)
3. Holy Hands, Reverence, and Serenity Now (+0).
