Can You Change Jobs?

How to Get a Secondary Job

Obtain Licenses from Guilds

To get a secondary job, you need to use licenses. These licenses can be obtained by doing quests for guilds that are scattered all over the world. Multiple licenses can even be obtained if you fulfill a guild's numerous requests!

Once a license is obtained, you can use them to give a select traveler a secondary job.

Jobs Determine a Traveler's Skills and Weapons

Put simply, your traveler's class or job determines what kind of weapons and skills they can use in battle.

Each traveler has their own default starting job that cannot be changed but you can customize your travelers and make them even stronger by giving them Secondary Jobs.

Secondary jobs can be unlocked by getting licenses from guilds scattered all over the world and unlike the first game, multiple travelers can be equipped with the same secondary job in Octopath Traveler 2.
