- After you’ve arrived at the Vocation Guild or an Inn that offers the service, interact with the NPC at the counter and choose the ‘Change vocation’ option from the menu.
- Once in the menu, you can acquire a new Vocation at the cost of Discipline Points which can be earned by defeating enemies and completing side quests. Starting Vocations cost 100 Discipline while more Advanced Vocations will cost 150 Discipline to unlock.
- Select the Vocation you’d like and pay the required amount of Discipline.
After you’ve acquired a new class, you’ll be prompted to go to the Equipment screen where you can change your gear if needed.
You can also change your Main Pawn’s Vocation at the same time which may be handy if you want to synergize your party with your new class e.g. if you’re switching to a Mage, you may want to make your Main Pawn a Fighter so they can focus on holding the frontline in combat while you attack and heal your allies from a distance.
