Lineage 2 profession quests: 1st, 2nd and 3rd profession
Profession in Lineage 2 changes three times: these are the main milestones of character development. In classic chronicles, each shift requires a quest; in Essence, the profession changes through the interface - so don’t be surprised at the discrepancies in the guides.
- 1st profession - level 19–20, quest in hometown from Guild Master.
- 2nd profession - level 39–40, the quest depends on the branch: Proof of Alliance, Blood or Faith.
- 3rd profession - level 76, long chain of quests (Saga quest).
- In Essence and some of the new builds, the change occurs through the interface at levels 20, 40 and 76 without quests.
Career change levels
| Profession | Level | How to get |
|---|---|---|
| 1st (basic branch) | 19–20 | Quest from the Guild Master in the starting village |
| 2nd | 39–40 | Branch quest: Proof of Alliance / Blood / Faith |
| 3rd | 76 | Saga quest: a long chain of quests, often with raid bosses |
| Essence | 20, 40, 76 | Change through the interface, without quests |
In different builds, the requirement differs by one level: the quest is taken from 19, 39 and 76, and changing profession is available at 20, 40 and 76. If the NPC does not give the task, check the level and whether the previous chains have been completed.
First profession
The task is short: a conversation with the Guild Master and a couple of errands near the village. There is no point in delaying it - the profession unlocks skills, without which the character is much weaker, and some of the equipment is inaccessible.
Second profession
The most important choice in the game: this is where the role and style are determined for dozens of levels ahead. Quests are divided into three lines, and which one you get depends on the first profession. Some tasks require items that drop from specific mobs - it is better to collect them right away, rather than looking for them in a hurry.
- Proof of Alliance - for melee warriors.
- Proof of Blood - for magicians and some warriors.
- Proof of Faith - for priests and support classes.
The names of chains and NPCs differ between chronicles and assemblies, so see the order of steps in the server description or in the database for a specific chronicle. The general scheme is the same: talk to the NPC, bring items, kill the indicated mobs, return for the profession.
Third profession
At level 76, a long chain begins: several NPCs in different cities, rare items, and sometimes a raid boss and a group. The third profession provides the strongest skills of the class, so it is completed almost immediately after the kappa level. At high rates, the administration simplifies some of the steps - check on the server’s website.
Is there any need to hurry?
No, but you can’t delay it either: skills from the profession are not a bonus, but a base. A level 40 character without a second profession is weaker than a level 35 character with one. At high rates, professions are changed in an evening; at x1, the path to the second profession takes weeks.
Questions and answers
What level is the second profession in Interlude?
The quest starts at level 39, changing profession - at level 40. In Essence, the profession changes through the interface exactly at 40, without a quest.
Is it possible to change profession later?
Main profession - no. Later, you can add subclasses (up to three) at level 75 and play as a different class.
What to do if the quest is not given?
Check the level, the previous profession completed and the availability of all items for the task. An unfinished previous task in the same chain often gets in the way.
