In this guide, you learn how to change vocations in Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined and which ones are the best classes to use in this RPG.
In Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined, vocations are classes your characters use, each with a unique set of skills. Following the game’s theme of one finding their purpose in life, a vocation is meant to represent one’s path. This is why characters can be a classic mage, but also a shepherd and a sailor.
Although vocations are a key feature of the game’s battle system, you need to wait a while before you can enjoy its full potential. Once you learn how to change vocations and which are best vocations in Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined, you will have the complete experience.
How to change vocations in Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined
Although the main cast of characters begins the game already having one vocation each, you can only change to a new one by progressing the main quest until you reach Alltrades Abbey in the past — which can easily take more than 15 hours. In this region, there are two main stories, « A Sense of Powerlessness » and « Restoring the Abbey! » During the latter, you unlock the function to change the characters’ vocations by talking to High Priestess Jacqueline.
After completing both quests in the past, you can visit Alltrades Abbey in the present and talk to the High Priestess Jacqui to change vocations. She will also give you the Career Sphere, a key item that lets you talk to her from anywhere in the world (past or present) and change your characters’ vocations.
Right off the bat, you have access to 10 basic vocations. To unlock the next tier of classes, the intermediate vocations, you need to master a certain combination of the basic ones as indicated in the intermediate vocations’ descriptions. For example, Warrior and Mage are required to unlock the Armamentalist vocation. For the three advanced vocations, the process is similar but focused on mastering intermediate vocations.
To master a vocation, you need to level it up by earning vocation points from battles. After the « An Encounter with Aishe » main story quest, you unlock the Moonlight system. It allows characters to use two vocations, making the mastery process faster.
Best vocations in Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined
Aside from the advanced vocations, picking the best ones among the basic and intermediate vocations is a matter of personal preference. However, there are some you should consider based on how valuable they can be, thanks to the skills they grant.
In most RPGs, it’s difficult to go wrong with the Warrior class, and in Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined, it’s no different.
