Talk:Secondary profession

Is there a limit to the number of times you can change your secondary profession after you've completed the "path" quests in the Crystal Desert? For instance, can you change your secondary profession to Ranger, then to Warrior, then to Ranger again? Planning ahead... Rain Over Pebbles 01:31, 24 March 2006 (CST)

 * Okay but what if you change your secondary profession, would you have lost all the skills that you earned for that and if you ever wanted to change back will the skills still be there or are they lost forever and need to be re-earned? --OMGsplosion 05:55, 7 May 2006 (CDT)
 * When you change back, they'll still be there. --68.142.13.105 06:28, 7 May 2006 (CDT)

Switching professions
Say for example you started as a */E. You then complete the quest to become a */Mo. Now you want to change back to */E. Do you have to do the Elementalist quest or will it just change for you? Now say you want to be */Mo again. Do you have to repeat the Monk quest or will it be given to you automatically?
 * In Prophecies, the quests unlock the ability to change to that secondary profession on that character. In Factions, you have to pay Senji 500 gp the first time you adopt a particular profession. Either way, changing to a secondary you have already unlocked for that character is free - just talk to Senji or one of the profession quest ghosts and they'll do it for you.
 * So, for example, I have a N/Me. I did a quest to unlock N/Mo in Prophecies. I can now talk to any of the profession-changing NPC (I usually visit Telius, the ranger trainer, despite the fact that I haven't even unlocked her quest). She lets me change between N/Mo and N/Me instantly by just selecting a button from a menu. Works the same way in Factions, too. &mdash; 130.58 (talk) 21:24, 19 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Basically, talk to a Profession Changer. It's immediate, too! So much more fun than trying to do that quest again, huh? :) &mdash; Rapta  [[image:Rapta_Icon1.gif|19px]] (talk|contribs) 21:26, 19 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Is there a list anywhere of the 6 or so skills you get when you change to each new profession? — 24.211.128.73 20:02, 21 January 2007 (CST)

The question I am struggling with at the moment is this: How do you unlock a secondary profession from a different campaign (Factions/Nightfall) for an ascended Prophecies character? I couldn't find any documentation on this so if anyone has any insight please direct me to the Wiki page I haven't found yet or start sharing some of the information on here... I'll do the same if I discover anything. Thanks!
 * It's even simpler than that in Prophecies (and I can only assume it's the same in the other campaigns now, I haven't ascended any Factions/Nightfall chars yet though). Once you've completed the secondary profession quest you can change to that secondary any time you are in a town/outpost, just bring up your skill list [K] and select the one you want from the dropdown list. Any skills on your bar from the secondary you are switching away from will be cleared from you skill bar and you're ready to go with the new one.
 * You can unlock for a Prophecies character in Nightfall from the profession changer in the Command Post outside Sunspear Sanctuary for the usual 500g. I think the same general idea for Factions, but I don't remember where the changer is off the top of my head. -- Peej 15:39, 28 February 2007 (CST)

 * Probably because it's still Tyrian-centric. How do Canthans get their secondary profession? 134.130.4.46 23:19, 31 July 2006 (CDT)
 * This page now (as of 1/21/2007) needs updating because you can simply change your secondary profession after unlocking it by using the skills and attributes window (no need for going back to a profession changer). — 24.211.128.73 20:03, 21 January 2007 (CST)

Canthan characters in Elona
Just a note: A Canthan character having completed the Hunted! quest (as it reads here) but not having ascended or become "closer to the stars" cannot use the secondary profession changers.
