Discover the location of a hidden Mini Medal on Floor B1 of Alltrades Abbey in Dragon Quest VI. Learn about vocations and shop items while you're there!
Alright, so you've made it to Alltrades Abbey! If you Zoom there from the world map, you'll appear right outside the restored Abbey. Head on in and start chatting with everyone; they've got a lot of info about the new Vocation system. After you've spoken with the nun behind the desk, she'll offer to let you read about all the trades available – but we'll get to that in a bit.
First, let's grab a shiny! Head down the stairs and through the double doors into a big room. You'll see pillars and some empty pots, which will later glow blue once you start leveling up your Vocations. Just keep walking straight up the middle, following that orange path, until you reach the platform at the far end. Look down – see that sparkle? Yep, that's a [MINI MEDAL] for you!
While you're on this floor, you'll also find the shops, a Bank, and Patty the Party Planner. Don't worry about Patty just yet, but feel free to chat with the old guy nearby for his take on her. Oh, and that well on the south side? It's a shortcut back to the Ruins in the other world.
Before we dive into the shops, let's check out that bookcase. The right shelf has a joke book called "1001 Jokes for Adventurers" – prepare for some groans! Next to it is "The Philosophy of Men's Dreams," which has a pretty relatable comment if you spoke to that old man at Patty's bar earlier. The middle shelf is empty, but the one after that holds a diary hinting at a Hero. Interesting, right?
Now, let's talk about Vocations. If you chatted with everyone, you've probably picked up some good advice. Here's the lowdown:
- You can always check your Vocation progress in the Attributes Menu.
- Giving up a Vocation won't erase your progress; you can always pick it up again later.
- To become a Hero, you'll need to master Gladiator, Sage, Luminary, or Ranger first.
- You can only change your Vocation and accept a new one here at the Abbey.
- Everyone keeps their original stats, spells, and abilities, and they'll continue to learn them even after changing Vocations.
- To unlock advanced Vocations, you need to meet specific requirements. For example, mastering Warrior and Martial Artist is needed to unlock Gladiator.
- Each Vocation comes with its own unique abilities and stats.
- Don't forget, characters in the Wagon still gain Vocation points from battles!
My advice? Pick five Vocations and go for it! You can always change them later, but keep those higher-tier requirements in mind. Try to pick Vocations that complement each other. For instance, if you want Carver to become a Paladin, he'll need to start as a Martial Artist or Priest. If Nevan is going to be a Sage, he'll also need Priest, plus Mage. You don't want two characters stuck as Priests when you need a fighter! If you're unsure, just pick the first five and get started. I went with Martial Artist for Hero, Warrior for Carver, Mage for Nevan, Dancer for Milly, and Thief for Ashlynn. Ashlynn leveled up her Thief Vocation quickly, so I switched her to Merchant next – another fast one!
Head into the Attributes menu to see your characters' new Vocation titles, which will change as they level up. Press 'A' again to see the basic Vocations and the star indicating your current level (x1 for the first level).
As you win battles, you'll earn Vocation points. The 'Mastery Speed' (Slow, Normal, Fast) tells you how many battles it takes to level up. Faster speeds mean fewer fights. Once you've chosen your Vocations, talk to the priest on the left. He'll tell you exactly how many battles are needed for each character's next level and warn you that fighting weak monsters won't cut it!
There might be level caps for gaining Vocation points in certain areas, but the game doesn't really explain it, so don't stress too much. Just keep an eye on your progress by checking back at the Abbey. If you're not seeing those points rack up, it's time to find some tougher monsters!
Once you're done here, switch back to the real world to continue your adventure.
