Dialogue[edit]

Initial dialogue[edit]

Armin Saberlin
"Sir Tydus wants you to take on a second profession before you face the Charr, right? I think he is right to say so. A second profession gives you access to all of the skills and most of the attributes of that profession. This is a big decision, not to be taken lightly. You might wish to see trainers for several professions and learn a little something about them before settling on one.
Not just any trainer can teach you a second profession, but I can direct you if need be."
Yes Accept: "I'd like a second profession."
No Decline: "Sounds like too much trouble."
Ask Ask: "There are trainers for every profession throughout Ascalon. I can give you directions if need be. Which profession are you interested in?"
(Listed in order as listed in the game)
Note: The "ask" dialogue above and the following responses are the same, no matter if you talk to Armin or any of the profession trainers throughout pre-Searing Ascalon and it's environs.
=> Warrior
Warmaster Grast is at the shrine to Balthazar in Green Hills County. To find him, follow the road northwest from Ascalon City and continue along the road as it curves to Green Hills County.
=> Ranger
Master Ranger Nente is near the edge of the woods in Regent Valley. To reach Regent Valley, follow the road southwest from Ascalon City, but turn south across the bridge. Keep an eye out for signs that say Regent Valley and you should be fine.
=> Monk
Brother Mhenlo is in Ashford Abbey. To reach Ashford Abbey, follow the road southwest from Ascalon City.

Intermediate dialogue[edit]

When talking to the wrong profession trainers:
Warrior Duke Barradin and Little Thom
"I only train those who have already learned something about being a Warrior. If you wish to take Warrior as a secondary profession, you should talk to Warmaster Grast in Green Hills. He can generally be found at the statue of Balthazar, near the entrance to Lakeside County."
Ranger Aidan and Ivor Trueshot
Monk Grazden the Protector
"I only train those who have already learned something about being a Monk. If you wish to take Monk as a secondary profession, you should talk to Brother Mhenlo in Ashford Abbey."
Necromancer Kasha Blackblood and Oberan the Reviled

Reward dialogue[edit]

Armin Saberlin
"Choosing a second profession can be one of the most difficult decisions facing a young soldier, but don't be afraid you've made the wrong choice. There is no right or wrong choice.
