Day Jobs

[Mageman]

Here is a list of all the 33 day jobs you can earn. Note - there are 6 Hero/Vigilante and 6 Villain/Rogue day jobs - you have to be of the appropriate alignment to receive the badge, although you can earn credit for them while of the wrong alignment. The badge number is the order they appear when listing day jobs earned.

This information was taken from the Paragon Wiki Archive (and sorted in the order on one of my characters). These have all been verified by me:

• Praetorians can get the Architect badge in the AE area of Pocket D.
• Praetorians can earn the Midnighter badge in Night Ward zone.
• I've verified each badge that was listed as 2 in the Archive (for example: logging off in the hospital gave Praetorians the Caregiver/Pain Specialist badge - I verified that Loyalists get the Pain Specialist badge and the Resistance get Caregiver badge).

 

Because Praetorian Loyalists get the same badge as a villain and Resistance get the same badge as a hero, I'm testing if a Loyalist gets the Criminal badge instead of the Patroller badge. This will take some time. I have verified that a Praetorian Loyalist gets the Patroller badge.

 

P.S. I created a list of the Day Job badges in the order they appear in the game - this makes it easier to find which badges you are missing (compared to other websites that lists them alphabetically. This topic is about getting the day job badges. Please - keep comments not on this topic out of it.

Updated Praetorians and seperated Loyalists and Resistance.

I can confirm that Architect and Midnighter badges are available for Praetorians.  The 12 Blue & Red badges are the only ones unavailable.  I'd have to check on the three badges that may be different if Resistance/Loyalist

This information was taken from the Paragon Wiki Archive (and sorted in the order on one of my characters). There are possible problems that I'm investigating:

• Praetorians can get to the AE area in Pocket D. I'm checking to see if they can get the Architect badge.
• Praetorians have access to Night Ward and may be able to earn the Midnighter badge.
• Several of the Praetorian badges are listed as both the Hero and Villain badges. I assume this is due to getting the badge when they convert to Hero/Villain. I'm going find out which one they actually receive as a Loyalist/Resistance member.

So you have to switch from blue to red to get those?  I have a villain dayjob at 100% but no badge.

Yes, once you switch, you get the badge.

Well, this is annoying.  Doesn't look like my resistance member who is level 33 can switch to Loyalist via Oro.  Did a choice mission and while I picked Loyalist, no change after.

Currently, I have the Blue side versions of the Caregiver, Banker, and Day Trader

I'm wondering about some of the badges with Praetorians:

• Chronologist - is there an Ouroboros for them?
• Cimeroran - How can they get to Cimerora?
• Duelist/Predator - do they have Arenas and PvP zones?
• Fashion Designer - do they have a dedicated costume editor?
• Cold Hand of Death - Can they get to Dark Astoria? I can confirm that they can't use a base portal to get there.
• Vanguard Recruit - how do they get to RWZ? I can confirm that they can't via the base portal again.

Unfortunately, Praetorian can not go to Ouroboros, Cimerora, Dark Astoria, RWZ, and PvP zones therefore those badges are unavailable for them. 

They can alter their costume via trainers, Trina in Tiki Room or Rita in Imperial City, but they can't access icon/tailor. So, No Fashion Designer Badge.

 

You can access arena via menu or Pocket D.

I know you can access the arena via the menu (but I've never used it). Where is the arena in Pocket D?

Blue side, on the other side of War Witch, right next to the merit vendor machine.

I've been there - logging out in the arena area of Pocket D gives you the Clubber badge, not the Duelist badge.

Right, you asked where the arena in Pocket D was so I explained it.

I left the arena from my previous post. My bad.

 

Since the gold sider can not go to Port Oakes, Peregrine and Talos, Duelist/Predator badge is inaccessible to them.

[OldPenn]

Praetorians can get the Fashion Designer badge at the Icon in Echo Plaza (from the blue side truck in Pocket D).

 

-edit: Access to Echo Plaza is also available via the TUNNEL Teleport.

There is also a Black Helicopter in Echo Plaza at /thumbtack 399 42.4 -1303 where the Day Job:Pilot badge can be advanced.

Hmm, not sure if I forgot to mention, but it was some time ago.

 

Praetorians can also go to the Atlas park from Null that has a Tram and get the Commuter badge if Resistance.

And Shopkeeper is available in the Winter Village zone at the shack.

I checked Null the Gull the other day and the Winter Village was not available as on option for my Praetorian.

Correct, it's not available at all via Null.  You go thru the door in the ski area to get there.

Goes to show that if you are not learning something, then you're probably dead.
