How to Unlock Warfarer

Warfarer is Unlocked After The Sotted Sage Quest

The Warfarer vocation, often mistaken as Wayfarer, is unlocked after finishing the quest The Sotted Sage in the Volcanic Island Camp. If you've completed the quest Put a Spring in Thy Step to get the Magick Archer vocation, you should be in the vicinity of this quest.

Simply head up the wooden ramps and up a ladder to find Lamond who will give you the quest regardless of your dialogue choice. Proceed on finishing the quest by giving him 3 Newt Liqueur and he will grant you access to the Warfarer vocation. Speak to Lamond again to get the Grandmaster's Path, the Maister's teaching for the Warfarer vocation.

Warfarer Skills Build

Recommended Warfarer Loadout
Rearmament (Warfarer)	Palladium (Mage)
Goring Lunge (Warrior)	Levin (Mage)

The recommended skill loadout above makes sure your Warfarer has covered both ranged combat with Mage and melee combat with Warrior. Switch to a Warrior's Greatsword with Rearmament to attack head-on, then switch to a Mage's staff to deal with flying enemies or attack from a distance. Also, when your HP decreases you can use the Mage's core skill, Anodyne.

The above list is just an example but is something we recommend highly. Warfarers are extremely flexible and enable you to mix and match different skills from different vocations to match your playstyle. The biggest tip we could give though is to always have both ranged and melee skills in your arsenal to cover all bases and situations.

Don't forget to upgrade the skill to their improved versions as you unlock them!

Warfarer Augment Build

Augment	Vocation / Description
Sustainment	Magick Archer Required Rank: 2 Augments the physical Defense and Magick Defense of pawns in your party.
Endurance	Archer Required Rank: 4 Increases your maximum Stamina.
Zeal	Warfarer Required Rank: 6 Reduces the Stamina consumed when performing a weapon skill.
Sagacity	Sorcerer Required Rank: 9 Augments your Magick.
Exaltation	Mage Required Rank: 9 Augments your Stamina recovery speed.
Verve	Thief Required Rank: 9 Augments your Strength.

Warfarers should adjust their augment pool depending on the main weapon that they want to use. If your Warfarer is more of a Fighter or Warrior, try to use the augments for either. Then, if your Warfarer is more of a caster you probably want to use the augments for Sorcerers. It all depends on what you identify as your main weapon from those that you can equip!

For our build, this focuses on dealing damage with either Goring Lunge (Warrior) and Levin (Mage). The augment list is a mix of durability and stamina management as that would help both playstyles.

Warfarer Pawn Party Composition

Arisen	Main Pawn	Hired Pawn	Hired Pawn
Warfarer	Mage	Fighter	Fighter

The best party composition for a Trickster has their main pawn as a Mage, and two front-line Fighter pawns to get the attention of enemies.

As a Warfarer, your main task is to be as flexible as you can be and flip-flop between supporting and dealing damage! In any case, the pawn loadouts will make sure your party is well balanced and ready for any situatioon.

To support you in battle, the Mage will be valuable as its healing capabilities. For recruited pawns, you can use the Fighter pawn as the meat shields to soak all the damage for you.

How to Play the Warfarer

• Switch Weapons Consistently with Rearmament
• We Recommend Having a Mage Staff for Healing

Switch Weapons Consistently with Rearmament

Warfarers playstyle revolves around switching weapons to get the most out of all available vocations. The weapon skills you can use also depend on the weapon you have equipped so make sure to switch weapons first before using a skill. If you want to play as a Warfarer, you have to get used to this playstyle.

Can Customize Weapon Switching Order

Thankfully, you can change the order in which you change weapons when you press the Rearmament button. You can do this in the Equipment menu so take advantage of this. Also, you do not have to worry about your carry weight - only the heaviest weapon is counted on your carry capacity! Sweet!

Have a Mage Staff for Healing

When using the Warfarer, we recommend to always bring a Staff for a Mage. This enables you to use the Mage's core skills for healing like Anodyne.

Warfarer for a Mixed Playstyle in Combat

The Warfarer vocation mixes playstyles of other vocations, allowing it to adapt to any situation during combat.

The downside is that Warfarers have lower base stats compared to the other vocations, requiring them to fully utilize the strength of other vocations during certain situations.

Best Weapons and All Weapons List

Quite Difficult to Use Because of the Required Weapon Switching

Though Warfarer's boasts flexibility by being able to use skills from different vocations, it would still require you to switch weapons mid-fight. This may be confusing for some players and can even cause unnecessary deaths if not timed properly. Also, you need to have unlocked a certain vocation to use their skill.
