Professions

There are over 150 professions in Uncharted Waters Online. In game they are called jobs. Unlike in other MMORPGs in UWO you are not bound to your job (profession) forever. Jobs can be changed anytime during game.

There are different jobs for adventurers, traders and maritimers.

In Uncharted Waters Online job defines who your character is in terms of abilities. Various jobs favour various skills and therefore make your character stronger in certain areas when you have certain jobs. For example Tailor job makes you an expert in Sewing and among others boosts your textile and fabric trading skills. Same logic applies for all jobs.

How to get and change a job?

In order to get job you need to have job card. Job card can be used in respective guild depending on type of job. There are two types of job cards:

1) Guild cards - allow you to get one of beginner jobs. You will choose which one at Guildmaster. Guild cards can be obtained from quests available in each major city.

2) Specific job cards - allow you to get only one specific intermediate or advenced job it is meant for. This means that if you want to become eg. Naval Officer you need to get Naval Officer job card. Intermediate and advanced job cards come as rewards from quests. Some of them are quite long chains of quests eg. Alchemist

Once you get and use job card you get job you want. Once you got the job it is always going to be available for you at respective guild. However changing to job you have on your job list without job card wil cost you 20 times more money than if you have the card. This can be very convenient if at some point you want to  change to some beginner job and you dont have card. However changing to top advanced jobs without job card can be very costly eg. Master Alchemist will cost 100 million ducats to change to if you dont have the card.
