Help changing retainer job

[worldofneil]

But I never assigned my retainer to paladin to begin with. It was gladiator, turned paladin automatically at 50. And the vocate says the retainer has to be level 50 in order to change jobs to dk.

Sorry, but you're remembering incorrectly. You had to pay 40 ventures to convert gladiator into paladin, it's not automatic.

Unfortunately once it has a job you can't change it to another job. If you want it to be a Dark Knight then you need to reset it back to level 1.

To make a gladiator into dark knight you have to level it to 50, then switch. Because Dark Knight doesn't have a base class, any battle class works for this, as long as you don't give it a job, then when it gets to 50, switch to Dark Knight.
