Any generic character that has reached at least level 20 may change their class to any other available class. The sage class is generally unavailable unless the character is a [[Goof-off]] or in possession of a [[Book of Satori]]. This causes the character to drop back to level 1 and lose half of their current stats, though any magic or skills they obtain are kept. The [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|hero]] cannot change class.

Alltrades Abbey (Temple of Dhama) is a recurring location in the Dragon Quest series. It is represented as an abbey, church, or temple where characters can change their class/vocation. It usually appears early to midway through the games in which it appears. Since its primary purpose is vocation-related, it does not appear in Dragon Quest games that do not possess a vocation system. In each game, there are set requirements for when a character can change to another class. The abbey is strongly tied to the overall vocational system and is not uncommonly used as a hub location in the games in which it appears.

The abbey appears just prior to obtaining the ship in Portoga. Characters must be level 20 to change classes. The hero may not change classes.
