Editing Alltrades Abbey (section)

{{main|Alltrades Abbey (Dragon Quest VI)}}
The abbey appears in both the [[Lower World]] and the [[Upper World]]. However, it has been sealed by the archfiend [[Murdaw]] in the Lower World and cannot be used to change vocations until he has been defeated.

The system in this game differs from that of {{III}} in that a vocation is a kind of accessory to a character rather than the whole of their capabilities. When assuming a vocation, that character's stats are modified via percentage-based increases and decreases and they will learn new abilities as they advance through the 8 ranks within that vocation. This advancement is done by completing a fixed number of battles with monsters that are of a similar level to the character: beating up weaker {{MFamilies}}s will not count towards vocation advancement. This new system allows for more time adventuring and less time leveling up weaker characters to avoid {{Party 6}} wipe outs.   

In addition to the eight starting vocations, a character can take on an advanced, hybrid vocation by mastering two prerequisites. There are also two hidden {{MFamilies}} vocations that require scrolls for {{Party 6}} members to take on the [[Liquid metal slime (vocation)|Liquid metal slime]] and [[Dragon (vocation)|Dragon]] vocations, similar to the older method for becoming a [[Sage]]. This abbey is also the first to house [[Patty]]'s services, accommodating the much larger cast of characters.
