Of the advanced vocations inDragon’s Dogma 2, the Warrior and the Sorcerer are the easiest ones to get. All you have to do is visit the Vocation Guild in Vernworthand complete the quest “Vocation Frustration.”
Because of how easy this is, and because pawns can become Sorcerers, some players may think that Sorcerers aren’t as good as other advanced vocations. However, this is far from being the case. Players who focus on sorcery can deal stunning amounts of damage by the end of the game, especially if they unlock one of the ultimate skills.
Sorcerer Basic Attacks and Core Skills
The two basic Sorcerer attacks and core skills are mostly the same as the Mage’s. This means that if you bought the Mage core skills, you don’t have to buy them againwhen you change vocation to Sorcerer. In fact, you can use them right away as a rank 1 Sorcerer. But if you didn’t invest any points into Mage first, here’s what to expect:

Sorcerer Weapon Skills
Sorcerer weapon skills are all about dealing damage. While Mages have access to damage and support skills, Sorcerers have replaced those support skills with even more ways to deal damage. In fact, Sorcerers can use most of the damage skills Mages get, except Empyrean. While Mages can wield Holy damage, Sorcerers can’t. On the other hand, Sorcerers can use spells that deal Physical damage, while Mages can’t.
Unlike with core skills, you’ll need to buy Mage weapon skills as a Mage for them to show up on your Sorcerer skill list.

Complete “Spellbound” and read Conjurer’s Jottings
Something players should know about the Sorcerer ultimate skills is thatit’s very hard to finish both Maister quests in a single playthrough.Both Sorcerer Maisters want the same set of books, and most of them appear to only have one copy in the entire game. Myrddin, the Maister in Checkpoint Rest Town who gives you the quest “The Sorcerer’s Appraisal,” appears to accept forgeries, but you’re out of luck if you complete his quest before finding Trysha in the wilderness north of Melve, or if you complete her quest before creating forgeries for Myrddin.
Sorcerer Augments
Like other vocations, Sorcerers get five augments you can applyto any vocation after you’ve changed to a new one.

Sorcerer Weapons, Armor, and Upgrades
Sorcerers use archistaffsinstead of the shorter staffs of Mages. Other than that, most of their equipment list overlaps with Mages, with robes, hoods, and tiaras available to both vocations. A few items are Sorcerer-exclusive, but even some of the best robes inDragon’s Dogma 2are available to Mages, Sorcerers, and Tricksters.
If you play a Sorcerer, you’ll want to find Sacred Arbor as soon as possible. Sacred Arbor is the elven town, and it has great items for Sorcerers.You can find the elf town northwest of Vernworth: look for the white treetop surrounded on three sides by water that has a branching path that leads straight up to it.
You may find it hard to communicate with the elven merchants, but keep in mind that the shopping choices are in the same order as every other shop. you’re able to also hire a pawn with Woodland Wordsmith to translate for you. If you can manage to explore the menu,you’ll find archistaffs that deal elemental damageand can compete with the archistaffs you’ll find on the volcanic island.
The other reason to visit Sacred Arbor is that the elves have their own way of enhancing equipment. This method favors Magick and Magick Defense over Strength and Physical Defense, which is especially useful when improving an archistaff. You may want to stick with the Vermundian style for your armor (most enemies deal Physical damage, after all), but you should always have elves enhance your archistaffs.
