In this guide, we will take a look at how to change villager roles in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
Each character has a unique story and personality that players get to know through friendship quests. A notable reward for increasing friendship with a companion is the ability to assign them a role in the village. Previously, once a role was assigned to a villager, it could not be changed. Fans asked for a way to change the assigned roles, should they want their villagers to try new work. Finally, there is a way! Here's how it works.

How to change villager roles in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Once you reach rank two in friendship with a villager, you can assign them one of five roles. These are Digging, Fishing, Foraging, Gardening, and Mining. Each of these roles offers additional benefits when hanging out with a villager and completing various activities within the village.
To assign villager roles in Dreamlight Valley, you need to craft a Training Manual at a crafting station. Here are the recipes you’ll need to craft each type of training manual:
- Digging Manual - 5,000 Dreamlight, 20 Pebbles, 20 Sand, and 30 Soil
- Fishing Manual - 5,000 Dreamlight, 2 Swordfish, 5 Bream, and 10 Herring
- Foraging Manual - 5,000 Dreamlight, 30 Banana, 20 Blueberry, and 10 Basil
- Gardening Manual - 5,000 Dreamlight, 40 Corn, 60 Tomato, and 20 Carrot
- Mining Manual - 5,000 Dreamlight, 2 Topaz, 2 Aquamarine, and 2 Peridot
Once you've crafted the relevant manual, you will need to give it to the villager whose role you want to change. It is important to note that the villager must have friendship level 10 before they can accept the role change. If you have fulfilled these requirements, then the villager will be assigned the new role immediately.
You can craft training manuals at any crafting station in Dreamlight Valley. They require a variety of materials gathered using their respective activities. Recipes for the manuals can be found in the Potion & Enchantment tab, and are consumed when used on the villager. Crafting each manual requires a significant amount of Dreamlight, so if you want to change a villager’s role a second time, you’ll have to craft another training manual.
There you have it, that’s how you can make a training manual to change villagers roles in Disney Dreamlight Valley! If you’re looking for more guides, make sure to check out how to get Olaf in the game, as well as how to upgrade your house in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
