List of Contents

When Can You Change Classes?

During the Alltrades Abbey Main Story

Alltrades Abbey HIgh Priestess

You’ll gain access to changing vocations once you reach Alltrades Abbey in the main story and rescuing the High Priestess. The priestess will reward you with the Career Sphere, which enables you to start changing classes.

Alltrades Abbey becomes available after completing the events at Roamer Encampment Region and using the Blue Tablet in the Shrine of Mysteries.

Alltrades Abbey Walkthrough Guide

Best Time to Change Classes

After Mastering Vocations

Vocations

Generally, the best time to switch classes is after fully mastering your current vocation. Once you have mastered a vocation and learnt all the skills it had to offer, it's time to change vocations to get some new ones!

List of All 26 Vocations

Focus on Unlocking the Next Tier of Vocations

Many higher-tier vocations, such as the intermediate or advanced vocations require specific combinations of mastered jobs, so rotating classes helps you unlock stronger options faster instead of grinding aimlessly.

When You Need to Learn New Skills

Support Skills

If a character is missing key spells and abilities like recovery, buffs, or crowd control, it can be worth switching vocations early to pick up essential skills.

This is especially useful if your current party setup is struggling with bosses or longer fights.

While Grinding EXP

Once you’ve mastered your main vocations, grinding EXP is the perfect time to experiment. Since you’re already farming levels and vocational proficiency, you might as well train secondary vocations and work toward moonlighting or advanced job unlocks at the same time.
