Portoga Map and Available Items
You can get a Staff of Antimagic from a treasure chest through the damaged floor in Portoga Castle. Using this staff as an item in battle will allow you to cast Fizzle, which is extremely useful against bosses that cast spells.
We recommend purchasing a Spiked Steel Whip from Portoga's weapon shop as it will make future story progression easier. The Steel Whip allows you to attack a group of enemies at once, which is efficient when facing multiple foes.

How to Beat Robbin’ ’Ood (Cave)
From here on, you'll travel around the world collecting six orbs. You can grab them in any order, but it's best to follow the recommended order so you don't accidentally run into fights that are too difficult.
Once you get the ship in Portoga, you'll be able to sail to nearly anywhere on the map. The story will mainly involve collecting orbs, but we recommend stopping by the Alltrades Abbey first to change your party members' Vocations.
| 1 | Talk to the old man in the center of the Alltrades Abbey to change Vocations. |
|---|---|
| 2 | After finalizing your vocations, head north towards the Tower of Transcendence. |
Alltrades Abbey Map and Available Items
You can only change a character's Vocation once they've reached Level 20. The only exception to this rule is the Hero since they cannot change their vocation at all.
If you're underleveled, you may head to the Tower of Transcendence first and farm Metal Slimes for experience.
| 1 | Climb the tower and head to the 5th floor. |
|---|---|
| * | Before heading to the next step, go up to the 6th floor for a treasure chest. |
| 2 | Drop down through the middle of the 5th floor and continue falling down until you reach the 2nd floor. |
| 3 | Grab the Words of Wisdom from the treasure chest. This will allow you to change a character's Vocation to Sage. |
| 4 | Return to the Alltrades Abbey and make any final adjustments to your team. |
| 5 | When you're ready, teleport to Portoga and sail south to Theddon. ▶ Theddon to Orochi’s Lair Walkthrough |
Tower of Transcendence Map and Strategy Guide
Obtaining the Words of Wisdom will allow you to change a character's Vocation to Sage at the Alltrades Abbey. The Sage is a powerful class that can learn spells from both the Mage and Priest spell lists so it's highly recommended to always have a Sage in your party.
Sage Job Class and Best Personality
Defeating Metal Slimes in the upper levels of the Tower of Transcendence will give you a ton of experience. Whenever you change your Vocations, it's recommended to farm here so you can get your party back up to speed.
