Note that unlike ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'', there is no "hero" class; the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IX)|Hero]] starts out as a [[Minstrel]] and can freely change into other classes.

Classes can only be changed at [[Alltrades Abbey (Dragon Quest IX)|Alltrades Abbey]] at [[Newid Isle]]. This is not available until after a specific plot point, and the player must find Abbot Jack in the [[Tower of Trades]] before he will be available to change a character's vocation.

Once the [[Sage]] class is unlocked, characters can learn "Jack's Knack," which enables changing jobs on the field.
