Factions secondaries - Guild Wars Forums

I read somewhere that you can just buy a secondary in SC in Cantha. Does that mean that you can have your desert secondary, but still have the Factions secondary (ie: R/W gains Mo as a secondary in the desert, but can change into R/Rt as a secondary bought from Cantha)?

No. You can pay 500g to a profession changer who resides in Senji's Corner on the factions map. You retain your other 2nd profession skills (only you can't use them until you change back to that profession)when you revert back that part is free.

I think that's one of the biggest plus's of the game for me at the moment I love capping skills and playing with different builds and can do it all on my warrior

I'm guessing that means if I grab Mo in the desert I can't buy the Rt profession in Cantha.

You can...The other guy misread your question..

YOu can mix and match, gain some secondaries in the desert, some at Senji's Corner. Doesnt matter.

Cool, but are you sure? Does that mean that, technically, I would be R/W/Mo/Rt?

The answer is "Yes". Now, if they only changed the game mechanics, so we can use them all

Nope. When you change secondary professions, you lose access to all of your old secondary's attributes & skills. So, if you're a W/Mo and you change to a W/R, you'll lose all of your Monk skills & will get a few ranger skills. When you change back to W/Mo, you lose all of your ranger skills.

In Cantha, the first time you change to a particular profession, it costs 500g. Start with a W/Mo - Change it to W/E and it will cost 500g. later on, change it to W/Me, it'll cost another 500g. Then change it back to W/Mo (or W/Me) and it won't cost anything & the skills you've gotten in those professions will be made availiable to you once again.

He will still have them, just lost access untill he switches back.

To activate the Profession Changer in Cantha, you Have to pay a one time fee of 500g per profession, that's even if you already unlocked the secondaries in the dessert. It's just easier to do in Cantha because there are no related quests involved.

And to your last question, if you are thinking that the secondaries would stack up, then you are misunderstanding how it would work. Whenever you go with a Prof Changer (Tyrian or Canthan) you temporarily abandon your current secondary untill you switch back to it. So in effect, if you have the professions you mentioned unblocked, you would effectively have R/W, R/Mo, R/Rt as opposed to a stacked R/W/Mo/Rt.
