How to Level Job Rank Fast

Learn how to quickly level up your Job Rank in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Discover stat gains, permanent bonuses from skills, and essential accessories to boost Job Experience.

When your character level increases, you’ll gain a significant boost to your stats. These stat gains are both significant (averaging around +20 HP and +3-4 in most other stats), permanent (all jobs benefit from these stat gains), and somewhat variable between characters. Increasing Job Rank also improves your stats, but your stat gains per Job Rank are much, much smaller than what you get when your character level increases.

You keep all the stat gains you make when leveling up regardless of what job you have active, but stat gains earned when your Job Rank improves only apply to that job. For example, if Ichiban increases his Hero Job Rank, the stat gains earned will not carry over if he switches his job to Freelancer.

There is one exception to this rule, however. If you check a job’s skill list, you’ll notice the odd stat boost sprinkled in among the skills. After Job Rank 30, the skills dry up and the stat gains dominate the rest of the skill list. For example, this is Ichiban’s Hero job skill list:

Unlike the stat bonuses gained for increasing your Job Rank, the stat bonuses listed on a job’s skill tree are permanent and carry over between jobs. If you add it up, then, Ichiban will gain the following stats for maxing out his Hero job’s Job Rank:

These gains aren’t massive, they amount to around two extra character levels of growth. But when you have 7-12 jobs for each character that can all be maxed, that adds up to quite a lot of stat points. Grinding out all these Job Ranks is a massive grind, but fortunately, you don’t need to do this if you’re on the more casual side of the gaming spectrum - these extra stat bonuses only really become necessary when you’re dealing with postgame content. That said, there are some tricks you can use to expedite the chore of increasing Job Ranks…

You can boost the Job Experience you earn by equipping certain accessories.

One of the easiest ways to increase your Job Experience gains is to equip specific accessories that achieve the desired effect. Most classes have an accessory that increases Job Experience earned to 1.2x when equipped, and since you can equip two accessories on a character, doubling up on these accessories will effectively increase Job Experience you gain from each fight to 1.4x. These accessories are as follows:
