Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined features an updated version of the job system from the original game, where each character’s stats, skills, and bonus effects depend on their current class. Every character starts with one vocation, and later, they can unlock 19 more to expand their abilities.
Vocations are divided into three levels: basic, intermediate, and advanced. All characters can learn the ten basic vocations as soon as you gain access to Alltrades Abbey. To unlock an intermediate vocation, you need to have mastered at least two basic vocations first. Moving up to an advanced vocation requires mastering two intermediate classes.
While technically any vocation can be assigned to any character, each person’s base stats, starting vocation, and chemistry with the team mean some characters are better suited to certain jobs. Here’s a simple guide on choosing the right vocation for each character in the game.
How to Change Vocations
Unlocking the Vocation Switch
You can only change vocations after you’ve made significant progress in the story. Once you complete the Alltrades Abbey scenario, you’ll be able to change vocations immediately.
You don’t need to visit Alltrades Abbey every time you want to switch classes. Once you get the Career Sphere, you can change vocations any time—except during battles—by pressing down on the D-Pad.
Later in the game, after returning to the present and recruiting Aishe, a new mechanic called moonlighting becomes available. Moonlighting lets you hold two vocations at once. If one is maxed out, gaining levels in the other is faster. It’s best to have one character with a mastered vocation and another with an unmastered one to keep them flexible.
Best Vocations for the Hero
Starting Class: Fledgling Fisherman
The hero is designed to be versatile in many roles. His stats are balanced, so you can change his class to fit your needs. For example, starting as a Fledgling Fisherman, then advancing to Sailor and Pirate (which requires mastering Thief too), gives him many offensive options.
Once he masters three intermediate vocations, you’ll unlock the Hero class. This special vocation offers a good mix of attack, healing, and support skills, making it ideal for endgame battles.
Best Vocations for Maribel
Starting Class: Mini Mayoress
Maribel begins with supportive magic and healing abilities. As she levels up, you might want to train her as either an offensive Mage or a healing Priestess.
By mastering both vocations, she can become a Sage, which offers powerful spells and healing skills. Then, progressing through classes like Troubador, Dancer, and Jester unlocks the Luminary class—another support-focused vocation with charm and healing skills.
Finally, by mastering both Sage and Luminary, she can evolve into the Druid class. This is the strongest magic class, unlocking a wide range of powerful offensive and healing spells for late-game battles.
Best Vocations for Ruff
Starting Class: Wolf Boy
Ruff begins with a basic job that emphasizes high attack power, making him a strong melee fighter. His agility also makes classes like Martial Artist and Thief suitable, as they allow him to inflict status effects and damage enemies efficiently.
In the end, he can master Priest and Warrior, then move into advanced jobs like Paladin and Gladiator. When fully leveled, he can switch to the Champion class for maximum offense and durability in late-game fights.
Best Vocations for Aishe
Starting Class: Destiny’s Dancer
Aishe is naturally a performer, so her starting class focuses on charm and support. As she levels, switching her to the Dancer class unlocks better intermediate options.
Mastering Dancer, Troubador, and Jester enables her to become a Luminary, boosting her charm and support skills further. Later, if she masters Luminary and Pirate or Sage, she can become a Druid, with access to some of the best offensive and healing spells in the game.
Switching her to support magic early on and shifting to offense later can make her a flexible and powerful spellcaster.
Best Vocations for Sir Mervyn
Starting Class: Chevalier
Mervyn arrives late but is well-prepared. His starting class emphasizes physical attacks with some support skills. It’s best to focus on building his melee strength early while also using his decent magical abilities.
Master classes like Warrior, Martial Artist, Mage, and Priest will enhance his versatility. Eventually, switch to advanced classes like Gladiator, Sage, or Paladin to strengthen his attack and defense. In the end, he can switch between Hero and Champion depending on whether support or offense is needed.
This guide should help you choose the best vocations for each character, making your team more effective for all stages of the game.
