== Dialogue ==

=== Initial dialogue ===
; Armin Saberlin
: ''"Sir Tydus wants you to take on a '''second profession''' before you face the Charr, right? I think he is right to say so. A second profession gives you access to all of the [[skills]] and most of the [[attributes]] of that profession. This is a big decision, not to be taken lightly. You might wish to see trainers for several professions and learn a little something about them before settling on one.''

: ''Not just any trainer can teach you a second profession, but I can direct you if need be."''
{{ Offer dialog
| accept = I'd like a second profession.
| decline = Sounds like too much trouble.
| ask = There are trainers for every profession throughout [[Ascalon (pre-Searing)|Ascalon]]. I can give you directions if need be. Which profession are you interested in?
}}
:::(Listed in order as listed in the game)
::: '''Note:''' The "ask" dialogue above and the following responses are the same, no matter if you talk to Armin or any of the profession trainers throughout pre-Searing Ascalon and it's environs.
:: '''=> Warrior'''
::: Warmaster Grast is at the shrine to Balthazar in Green Hills County. To find him, follow the road northwest from Ascalon City and continue along the road as it curves to Green Hills County.

:: '''=> Ranger'''
::: Master Ranger Nente is near the edge of the woods in Regent Valley. To reach Regent Valley, follow the road southwest from Ascalon City, but turn south across the bridge. Keep an eye out for signs that say Regent Valley and you should be fine.

:: '''=> Monk'''
::: Brother Mhenlo is in Ashford Abbey. To reach Ashford Abbey, follow the road southwest from Ascalon City.

:: '''=> Elementalist'''
::: Elementalist Aziure is all the way up near the tower in Wizard's Folly. To reach Wizard's Folly, follow the road southwest from Ascalon City and continue southwest past the village of Ashford.

:: '''=> Necromancer'''
::: Necromancer Munne can be found in the catacombs behind Ashford Abbey. To find Ashford Abbey, follow the road southwest from Ascalon City.

:: '''=> Mesmer'''
::: Lady Althea is at the Actor's Theatre here in Lakeside County. From Ascalon City, simply follow the road northwest to the Theatre. You can't miss it.

=== Intermediate dialogue ===
When talking to the wrong profession trainers:
;{{w}} [[Duke Barradin]] and [[Little Thom]]
: ''"I only train those who have already learned something about being a Warrior. If you wish to take Warrior as a secondary profession, you should talk to Warmaster Grast in Green Hills. He can generally be found at the statue of Balthazar, near the entrance to Lakeside County."''

;{{r}} [[Aidan]] and [[Ivor Trueshot]]
: ''"I only train those who have already learned something about being a Ranger. If you wish to take Ranger as a secondary profession, you should talk to Master Ranger Nente in Regent Valley."''

;{{mo}} [[Grazden the Protector]]
: ''"I only train those who have already learned something about being a Monk. If you wish to take Monk as a secondary profession, you should talk to Brother Mhenlo in Ashford Abbey."''

;{{n}} [[Kasha Blackblood]] and [[Oberan the Reviled]]
: ''"I only train those who have already learned something about being a Necromancer. If you wish to take Necromancer as a secondary profession, you should talk to Mistress Munne in the catacombs north of Ashford Abbey."''

;{{me}} [[Vassar]]
: ''"I only train those who have already learned something about being a Mesmer. If you wish to take Mesmer as a secondary profession, you should talk to Lady Althea at the theatre in Lakeside County."''

;{{e}} [[Ralena Stormbringer]]
: ''"I only train those who have already learned something about being a Elementalist. If you wish to take Elementalist as a secondary profession, you should talk to Elementalist Aziure up near the tower in Wizard's Folly."''

After taking a second profession:
; {{w}} [[Warmaster Grast]]
: ''"Congratulations. You now have two professions. Balthazar will guide you in using all your abilities to strike down your foes."''

; {{r}} [[Master Ranger Nente]]
: ''"Congratulations. You now have two professions. Melandru will guide you in using all your abilities to the fullest."''

; {{mo}} [[Brother Mhenlo]]
: ''"Congratulations. You now have two professions. May the gods illuminate your way."''

; {{n}} [[Necromancer Munne]]
: ''"Congratulations. You now have two professions. Grenth will guide you in using all your abilities to punish those who get in your way."''

; {{me}} [[Lady Althea]]
: ''"Congratulations. You now have two professions. Lyssa will guide you in using all your abilities to confound your enemies."''

; {{e}} [[Elementalist Aziure]]
: ''"Congratulations. You now have two professions. May your studies teach you the balance between both paths."''

=== Reward dialogue ===
; Armin Saberlin
: ''"Choosing a second profession can be one of the most difficult decisions facing a young soldier, but don't be afraid you've made the wrong choice. There is no right or wrong choice. Every combination of professions has unique benefits and possibilities. Now it's up to you to take advantage of them."''

== Notes ==
* This quest becomes available as soon as you complete your primary profession test. Completing [[Further Adventures]] or [[Unsettling Rumors]] is not required.
* You cannot progress past pre-Searing without taking on a second profession. However, you do not need to accept '''A Second Profession''' to obtain one; simply completing the respective trainer's quest will allow you to do this.
* '''Caution:''' Your choice of secondary profession cannot be changed until [[Ascension|much later]] in the game. Explore the different possibilities and choose wisely.
