Octopath Traveler Guide: All Base Secondary Job Shrine Locations and Stat Bonuses


Octopath Traveler lets you choose any of the eight characters' Jobs as a sub or secondary job for another character. For example, H'aanit is the Hunter Job, and can equip Warrior or any of the other Jobs in addition to Hunter.

You can freely switch secondary Jobs, but can only have one of each secondary job active at a time. This means that you can have Cyrus the Scholar in your party and another character with the Scholar secondary job, but you can't have two or more character equip Scholar secondary job at the same time.

Each job also has their own bonuses to stats, so that is something to keep in mind when deciding which Jobs to equip on which characters.

You can't equip these at the beginning though, and must find the correct shrine to unlock them.

This guide will go over the locations of these shrines as well as the stat bonuses each Job gives you.

Base Job Shrine Locations

First, I'll list the maps you can find each shrine, then how to get to each one if you leave from the character's original town.

It is important to note that you will want to level to your 20s-30s to safely travel through these zones.
