The Zealot profession (class) is one of strong defense and potentially powerful offense. From [[Tekura]] they gain their main offensive abilities, focusing on limb damage with the ultimate goal of rendering their target prone or otherwise incapacitated so that they can use the backbreaker throw or axe kick to kill them.

[[Category:Classes]]
There are three viable options for a Zealot statpack:
 
* [[Statpacks#Athletic|Athletic]] - Decent 'middle of the road' statpack. Muscular hits harder, resilient is more hardy.
* [[Statpacks#Muscular|Muscular]] - For best damage, and innate resistance to cutting/blunt.
* [[Statpacks#Resilient|Resilient]] - Best survival. Most recommended for those who are trying to reach endgame.

# A necklace of purity - has a chance to randomly remove one affliction from the person wearing it.
# [[Resistance]] rings - increases the resistance of the person wearing it to their specific element by 10%.
# Allsight earring(s) - to see while blind and hear while deaf, two common afflictions often encountered while hunting.

[[Tattoos]] in Aetolia have various effects. Any novice can wear up to six at any one time. The following is a list of tattoos recommended for the Zealot profession:

Overview

Zealots are fiery pugilists, masters of martial prowess who draw upon their inner Spark to incinerate their foes in a flurry of flaming fists. They wear only the lightest leather armor and use only a weighted silver chain to add force to their blows. Zealots are among the most devastating forces in the known world, capable of putting out so much raw damage as to be an overwhelming force even in the midst of a group of others. This makes them excellent hunters, though they must be wary of their lackluster defenses while carving a flaming swathe through their enemies.

A new Zealot is advised to use the typical statpack, though they may change to something else later. Everyone receives one free reincarnation upon leaving novicehood (level 31), and if that is used up, another one upon reaching Tekal (level 99). It is common for people to keep an early statpack until reaching level 100.
