How to Change your Job to Trader

Most beginners will often want to experiment with other job classes. In fact, it is pretty much expected that you change jobs a lot in UWO. Example: You can be in a maritimer job class right now and change to a trader job or be an adventurer and change to trader at any time.

But how do you do it?

If you want to change job to trader, you will need a job card. There are basically three ways to get it:

• Completing the quest for the job.
• Using the Letter of Appreciation of Seafarers.
• Receiving the job card from another player.

Once you have the job card just go to any Merchant Guild and talk to the GM (Guild Master):

If you don't have a job card in your inventory (or if you don't have another job you can change to from the same job class) you won't be given an option to change job:

Please note that when you use the job card you can change to that job anytime without the need for another job card. You just pay a LOT more than you would if you had the card.

Quest or letter?

Most people will think that using the letter is the fastest way. The problem is, you need to use it in a specific fleet NPC at sea... and they might take a lot of time to show up. The letter can also be very expensive for beginners.

If the job quest is not complex, time consuming or require high level of skills, you are better off completing the quest.

Quest

If you are looking for beginner's trader jobs, you need to get the Merchant's Guild Card. To get this card you should complete the The Merchant Guild's predicament. It is available in major cities (Including Sagres) and gives access to the following trader's jobs:

• Trade Learner
• Accountant
• Chandler
• Foods Dealer
• Yarn Dealer
• Mineral Trader
• Medicine Trader
• Animal Trader

You can also obtain this card from the quest "First job for the Guild".

And of course, there are other trader jobs, so be sure to check my complete trader's UWO job list.
