Visit the Guild Office

The main way to switch your Life in this game is by going straight to the Guild Office. You’ll find it in town; once inside, talk to the NPC running the place — in most cases, it's Auntie Anne. When you speak to her, you’ll see a menu pop up. Select the "Change Life" option, and a full list of unlocked Lives out of 14 will appear. Pick the one you want, confirm the change, and you're good to go.

You can only switch the ones you’ve unlocked

Here’s the catch — the game won’t allow you to select a Life that you haven’t unlocked yet. If the Life you're searching for isn’t appearing, it indicates that you still need to complete whatever is necessary to unlock it. This might involve progressing through the story or accepting a starter quest associated with that particular Life. Until that’s achieved, it won’t appear in your change list.

Some actions automatically switch your Life

You don’t always have to go to the Guild Office to change your current Life, though. The game can auto-switch your Life depending on the activity you’re doing. However, this only works if you’ve already unlocked that Life.

For example:

• If you walk up to a fishing spot and start casting, the game will switch you into Angler.
• Try chopping down a tree, and you’ll automatically switch to Woodcutter.

The same applies to the other 14 Lives in the game.

Combat Lives switch when you equip the weapon

When it comes to combat Lives, you won’t need to talk to anyone or interact with objects. Just equip the weapon linked to a specific Life, and you’ll auto-switch to it. There's no prompt or confirmation required — the Life swap occurs the moment the weapon is in your hand.
