Alltrades Abbey is a large temple where characters can change vocation in Dragon Quest IX. It is the Dragon Quest IX version of the familiar temple which appears in Dragon Quest games that allow vocation changes. It is located in the center of Newid Isle. Similar to its predecessors, the abbey contains amenities such as an inn, shops, and various NPCs.

Synopsis

All is not well when the hero arrives at the abbey. Abbot Jack has gone missing and no one seems to know where he has gone. By speaking to people at the abbey, the hero learns that the abbot ate a mysterious fruit before running out of the abbey. The abbot's colleagues seem to think he went to the Tower of Trades. The hero learns the bow party trick which is necessary in order to enter the tower.

Visiting the tower, the hero battles Master of Nu'un on the top floor. After defeating the monster, Abbot Jack is freed from his bondage and able to return to the abbey.

After being rescued, Abbot Jack remains at the abbey and it can be used normally for the remainder of the game.
