List of Jobs and Vocations

Warrior

Old Class	Level	New Class
Warrior	21	• Thief Reclass if you want more Speed
	21	• Merchant Reclass if you wish to learn more useful skills
	21	• Martial Artist Reclass if you want a plain Strength upgrade

Warriors will learn the skill, Mercurial Thrust at level 21, so we recommend learning that skill before reclassing to other vocations.

Which vocation you choose to reclass to depends on what you need for your Warrior. If you wish to increase your speed, pick Thief, for more skills to learn, we recommend reclassing to Merchant, and if you just want a plain upgrade of Strength, we recommend reclassing to Martial Artist.

Warrior Job Class and Best Personality

Martial Artist

Old Class	Level	New Class
Monster Wrangler	44	Martial Artist (Final Class Pick)

Martial Artist is the ideal final class for characters leaning towards a Physical vocation, such as Warrior or Monster Wrangler.

Since Martial Artist's critical rate increases with their level, it's ideal for them to continue leveling up to increase this stat.

We recommend only reclassing later to Martial Artist and not starting with it, since players can learn more skills from other classes and then reclassing for the late game campaign.

Martial Artist Job Class and Best Personality

Mage

Old Class	Level	New Class
Mage	21	• Thief Reclass if you want more Speed
	21	• Martial Artist Reclass with Oomph skill

We recommend that all Mages should reclass to Sage when possible, to gain access to more powerful offensive and support skills.

Normally, Sages are only available naturally throughout the Gadabout class but with the item, Words of Wisdom, Mages can reclass to Sage.

Reclass to Warrior After Learning Oomph

Mages who have learned the spell Oomph, a spell that doubles a party member's attack, can reclass to Warrior to benefit from the attack buff.

This means that the party will have less magic users so only reclass when you think you need more physical attackers.

Mage Job Class and Best Personality

Priest

Old Class	Level	New Class
Priest	23	• Warrior Reclass if you want more Strength
	23	• Thief Reclass if you want more Speed

Priests learn the skills Midheal, which restores a moderate amount of HP, at level 22 and the revival spell Zing, at level 23 so it's recommended to reclass after learning these spells.

Priests can reclass to Thief or Warrior depending if you wish to build more Speed or Strength onto your character.

Priest Job Class and Best Personality

Merchant

Old Class	Level	New Class
Merchant	20	Move From and To: • Gadabout • Sage Reclass if you want more Magic
	20	• Thief Reclass if you want more Speed
	20	• Warrior Reclass if you want more Strength

We do not recommend staying in the Merchant vocation as a party member's final vocation, so we recommend reclassing at level 20 after learning the ShopCall skill at level 17.

Depending on how you want to build your Merchant, you can reclass to Warrior for a Strength build, Gadabout to Sage for a Magic build, and Thief for an Agility build.

Merchant Job Class and Best Personality

Gadabout

Old Class	Level	New Class
Gadabout	20	Sage

The Gadabout is a class that doesn't have good combat-oriented skills so reclassing immediately to Sage as soon as you hit level 20 would be recommended.

Since Gadaboiut is the only class that can naturally reclass to Sage, there is no need to use the Words of Wisdom item when reclassing,

Reclass at Level 45 For Channel Anger

The Gadabout has access to a spell, Channel Anger, that buffs all magic attacks at Level 45, so it might be best to wait until then before reclassing to Sage.

Having Channel Anger in your character will have great synergy with Sage as the best magic caster in the game.

Gadabout Job Class and Best Personality

Thief

Old Class	Level	New Class
Sage	20	Thief (Final Class Pick)

Another final Vocation candidate, it's good to reclass to Thief after mastering the Sage class to be the fastest healer in your party.

Reclasing into Sage Is Viable

Old Class	Level	New Class
Thief	20	Sage (Final Class Pick)

It is also possible to reclass to Sage with Words of Wisdom from the Thief class, if you wish to have a higher Magic stat.

Thief Job Class and Best Personality

Sage

Old Class	Level	New Class
Sage	40	• Martial Artist Reclass for a well-rounded DPS
	40	• Thief Reclass if you want more Speed

Sage is another final Vocation candidate, but reclassing to Thief is viable to build up your Agility or reclass to Martial Artist for an all-rounder DPS unit.

It is also possible to stay as a Sage as your final class but since this vocation levels up slower than other vocation, we recommend mastering other classes first before reclassing into Sage.

Sage Job Class and Best Personality

Monster Wrangler

Old Class	Level	New Class
Monster Wrangler	44	Martial Artist

After your Monster Wrangler learns the skill Wild Side, which allows them to attack twice, you can reclass them into a Martial Artist to increase their DPS for the team.

You can opt to master this class and learn all the skills as well, then reclass to the Martial Artist vocation.

Best Final Classes

Sage For Magic Users

For party members with a high Magic stat, we recommend the Sage Vocation as their final class.

With the Sage class, your party members can learn both attack spells and support and healing spells to help the party out.

The downside is, unless you have the Gadabout class, you will need the Words of Wisdom item, which is obtainable in the Tower of Transcendence dungeon, to reclass into Sage.

Sage Job Class and Best Personality

Martial Artist for Physical Users

For physical attackers, we recommend the Martial Artist Vocation as their final class.

The Martial Artist has the ability to hit easy Critical hits which deals a lot of damage. Coupled with mastering skills from the Warrior or Monster Wrangler class, this is a Vocation you wouldn't want to miss out on in your final party.
