Focus on support, avoid easy mode, and consider hiring a hireling to save time. It's a game-changer!

Introduction

A 'jack of all trades' is a master of none but is often better than a master of one. The Jack of all Trades achievement in Baldur's Gate 3 can be a long and challenging Road. It requires you to play through the entire game, leveling a character up to the maximum level with one level in each class without ever speaking to Withers about a re. We've got a couple of pieces of advice to help prevent some tragedy along the way if you're doing this the long way as well as a super straightforward way to save yourself over 100 hours of a full playthrough to get this achievement, so stick around to the end.

Character Build Strategy

If you're looking to actively use your jack of all trades character, then it's important to think about the fact that your overall damage can be quite low. You still have good options for support even early on. For example, Bard has vicious mockery, which, while very low in damage output, is a cantrip that can impose disadvantage on a creature's next attack roll, which can turn the tide in some fights. There are also support spells and abilities from other classes such as clerics, warlocks, and more. Focus on being a dedicated supporter to keep the group greased up and optimized.

Class Selection Strategy

A crucial tip to prevent tragedy is about the Paladin class. While Paladin is a great class, there are reports from people saying that if you break your oath, it breaks the achievement as it changes it from default Paladin. Even restoring the oath will not reset that flag in-game. Therefore, steer clear of Paladin until your last level up if you don't want your run to end in tragedy.

Tips to Achieve the Jack of All Trades

Remember that while it's tempting to do this on easy to avoid struggling through the game, you cannot multiclass in Explorer mode. It has to be at least balanced. It's been reported that you can change the difficulty mid-game to add the class and then change back, but do so at your own risk.

Time-Saving Tip

The final and biggest tip to save you literally hundreds of hours is that once you have a save file on a level 12 game or are going to do another playthrough to completion, you can go to Withers and hire a hireling that you've never used before. Once you do so, you can sit there and level them up to level 12 with one level in each class, and once you're done, the Jack of all Trades achievement will pop up.

Now that you've got that achievement in the bag in a super simple way, make sure you don't miss out on anything in your new playthrough. Check out some awesome hidden stuff in act one.
