At Alltrades Abbey, speak to the Abbot to access the vocation change menu. Initially, you'll have access to basic vocations like Warrior, Priest, Mage, Martial Artist, Thief, and Minstrel. As you progress through the game and complete specific quests, more advanced vocations like Paladin, Armamentalist, Ranger, Sage, and Gladiator will become available. Each vocation has unique stat growths, weapon proficiencies, and skill trees. For example, a Warrior excels in strength and resilience, while a Mage focuses on intelligence and magical offense.
When changing vocations, consider the long-term benefits. Characters retain skill points earned in previous vocations, allowing them to invest in weapon skills or class-specific abilities that carry over. For instance, a character who masters the 'Sword' skill tree as a Warrior will retain those sword proficiencies even if they change to a Priest. This system encourages experimentation and allows for highly specialized and powerful character builds. Don't be afraid to try different combinations to find the most effective party for your playstyle. Remember to re-equip your characters with appropriate gear after changing their vocation, as their weapon and armor proficiencies will change.
