How to use hidden class specializations in Wartales
Using hidden classes is a relatively simple process once you’ve learned them in Wartales. Having completed one of the previous quests, you will see the new specialization. automatically listed as an option for any companion who has that class (at least either level 2 or level 3, depending on the base class of the specialization). You don’t have to do anything to learn it once you’ve completed the quest (there’s no item to use and no Compendium entry to learn).
What can be trickier is training one of your companions in the new secret class specialization if you don’t want to choose a new companion. It is possible to respect one of your companions, but it is not cheap. You have to go to any of the Brotherhood Training Grounds (there is one in each region) and spend 500 crowns for the ‘Respecialization’ option with the NPC there.
