How to unlock Warrior in Dragon's Dogma 2
When you arrive in Vernworth a few hours into Dragon's Dogma 2, stop by the Vocation Guild and chat with the counter clerk Klaus. He'll tell you that the guild can't give out Warrior and Sorcerer licenses at the moment, since their supply of archistaves and greatswords was stolen by goblins from the nearby Trevo Mine.
This opens the sidequest Vocation Frustration. You'll need to head over to the mine and get both items. Once you do so, you'll gain access to not only the Sorcerer vocation, but also the Warrior vocation.
To get to Trevo Mine, leave Vernworth via the western gate, cross the long bridge, and follow the road. The mine's not a tough dungeon, and the goblins inside are easily defeatable if you come with a full party of pawns. It's fairly dark inside, so you'll also want lit lanterns on everyone to see what you're doing.
As you explore the mine, you'll probably run into the Warrior's greatsword first. Give our guide to unlocking the Warrior in Dragon's Dogma 2 a read for more details.
To locate the Sorcerer's archistaff, you need to turn right at the fork on the mine's first floor and head to the far northeastern edges of the map. Eventually you'll come across a cavern with a few goblins and a wooden bridge. Dispatch the goblins and ignore the wooden bridge for now, as you want to be on the ground level of the room. You should see a crack in the northern wall. It's a tight squeeze, but you can enter it to find a room with a black chest that contains the archistaff.
Once you have the archistaff, bring it back to Klaus and the Sorcerer vocation will be yours. This advanced vocation is accessible to both your Arisen and your main pawn, and it's a stellar option if you like frying enemies with massive AoE attacks or spells that can break a health meter rapidly.
