How to Change Villager Roles

The ability to change villager roles was something that fans were asking for a long time. With the newest Disney Dreamlight Valley upgrade, it is now a reality, and getting to change villager roles is a unique process you must undertake. While you could think that changing villager roles is as simple as clicking a villager and changing its roles, the reality is that it is a bit more complicated than that. Let’s see.

In order to change villager roles, you will have to craft a Training Manual at any Crafting Station available throughout the map. Before you do that, be aware that you will need at least a rank 2 friendship with the villager whose role you will want to change. After that, go ahead and craft the Training Manual, which will require a specific number of resources. Then, go ahead and gift this Manual to the villager, which will start the assigned role at once. You can find each Manual in the Potion & Enchantments Bar. There are a total of five roles: Digging, Fishing, Foraging, Gardening, and Mining. Here is a table with all the roles with their required resourced.
