Guide: How To Unlock All Basic Secondary Jobs In Octopath Traveler II

As with the previous game in the series, Octopath Traveler II allows players to unlock secondary jobs for their main characters, giving them added abilities beyond their primary job classes.

In order to unlock secondary jobs in Octopath Traveler II, players will have search for the Guilds associated with each basic job, which give out job licenses to equip secondary jobs. Up to three job licenses can be obtained from each guild, with the first one unlocked just by visiting the guild and the second and third ones obtained from completing guild quests.

The Guild for each basic job can typically be found very close to where the primary job holder can be recruited, such as the Hunter Guild being found on the same island where the Hunter character Ochette begins her journey. They are marked on the minimap with a banner icon, meaning players just need to head towards that icon on their minimap when they enter the area where the job is located.

After finding it the first time, the guild’s location will be marked on the world map with the same banner icon:
