You’re facing the final boss, adrenaline pumping, when out of nowhere, a crucial Vocation mistake spells defeat. You think back to earlier choices, wondering where it all went wrong. Mastery of your characters isn’t just a bonus; it’s the difference between victory and a game over.
In Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined, Vocations are your allies and your enemies. Each character starts with a distinct Vocation that reflects their personality. As you journey onward, the ability to switch and evolve these Vocations helps craft your dream team of heroes. Navigating through the various options becomes both an art and a strategy.
This guide reveals all Vocation requirements in Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined to elevate your gameplay.

Every Vocation has its unique strengths and weaknesses, acting like puzzle pieces that fit together. Marrying them cleverly is key to mitigating flaws while amplifying strengths. Efficient leveling of these Vocations is an art in itself and should not be overlooked.
Strategies for Leveling Up Vocation Strengths
You can gain Vocation Points in a couple of straightforward ways:
- Winning a battle grants you one Vocation Point. If you’ve mastered that Vocation, you earn three.
- Instantly defeating an enemy earns you one Vocation Point as well.
Adjusting in-game settings allows you to amplify your Vocation Points gained from victories. You can upgrade your rewards from just one point to a whopping seven Vocation Points. This boost is a game-changer for rapid progression. While battling tougher enemies has its merits, it’s often not the most efficient route.
Instead, focus on enhancing Vocation Points from your wins, then challenge opponents in lower-level locales. This tactic rewards you with quicker victories and, consequently, a faster accumulation of Vocation Points—propelling you further in your quest.
