Job Shrine Locations - Octopath Traveler Guide - IGN (2024)

This page contains information on the job shrines in OctopathTraveler and where to find them.

As you begin exploring the world after the introductions to each character, make sure to explore to find 8 shrines you can go to and learn secondary jobs that each party member can take to learn additional skills on top of their initial job. These shrines essentially let your characters take on roles usually held by one of the other 7 party members - but only one person can hold a specific secondary job at a time.

For example, H'aanit has the Hunter as her primary Job. Upon finding the Shrine to learn the Dancer as a secondary Job, H'annit can become a Hunter/Dancer and use both of their abilities and weapons in battle, alongside Primrose who is also a Dancer as her primary job. However, while H'annit is using the Dancer Job, any other character cannot use Dancer as their secondary job. Luckily, secondary jobs can be swapped around whenever you are at the tavern.

Note that when you switch from one secondary job to another, JP will not transfer over, nor will already learned skills. However, any Support Skills can be used regardless of your current secondary job.
