Fire Emblem Three Hopes Advanced Seals – Walkthrough
Are you looking to upgrade your character's to an Advanced Class in Fire Emblem Three Hopes? This guide on Advanced Seals will walk you through all the necessary details of the upgrade process.
What Are Advanced Seals?
Advanced Seals in Fire Emblem Three hopes are class-changing items that are used to switch (unlock) different classes for the characters in your roster. All characters come with a default class when they are recruited. However, according to the meta and even your playstyle, some characters excel at a specific class compared to others.
So, once you change a character’s class, you can get new abilities such as combat arts and magic for them. In other words, these seals upgrade your characters from Intermediate class to Advanced Class. The best class upgrade option may vary depending on the character you recruit and your playstyle.
Although this explanation seems quite elaborate, there is much more depth to the requirements, collections, and usage of advanced seals, which will be the subject of the next paragraphs.
- Two of the most defining mechanics in Fire Emblem are the Master Seals and the Advanced Seal.
- Advance Seals increase the class of the characters in your roster.
- After reaching Level 7 there are multiple ways you can get Advance Seals.
- To use your Advanced Seal, you must first go to the Training grounds and talk to the Training Instructor afterward you need to take The Class Certification Exam.
Requirements To Get Advanced Seals
Starting with the requirements, we shall then go over the different sources where you can get advanced seals in the game.
Reach Chapter 7 In The Story Line
Before you even think about getting your hands on advanced seals, you must first get to chapter seven of the main storyline. It is really important because even if you have maxed out the intermediate class for all your characters, advanced seals will not be available unless you have progressed until the seventh chapter of the main storyline.
Once you have gone through the requirements, we can get to the different sources of Advanced Seals in the game.
How To Get Advanced Seals?
You can get advanced seals for your characters from four different sources in the game. These are as follows.
- From the Item Shop Keeper.
- From The S-Rank Rewards.
- Achievement completion rewards.
- Main storyline progression.
In the following paragraphs, we shall discuss the details of acquiring Advanced Seals from each source.
- Item Shopkeeper: You can purchase Advanced Seals from the Item Shopkeeper for 2000 Gold. These seals become available in the shop starting from Chapter 7 of the main storyline. However, the shopkeeper doesn’t restock them until the start of the next chapter, so you have a limited supply in each chapter.
- S-Rank Rewards: Some missions provide Advanced Seals as S-rank rewards. Not all missions offer these as rewards, so you should check the mission rewards by opening the War Map. To achieve an S-rank in a mission, meet the specified criteria, which you can check in the pre-battle menu screen or during the battle. Keep in mind that you can only collect S-rank rewards once, so use your Advanced Seals wisely.
- Achievement Completion Rewards: You can receive Advanced Seals from the Rewards Master as rewards for completing achievements. Be sure to check how many achievements you need to complete to obtain Advanced Seals from the Rewards Master.
- Story Progression (Survey Spots): Survey Spots on the map can provide you with Advanced Seals in exchange for gold. These deals are typically inexpensive and can be a useful way to acquire additional seals for leveling up your characters. Survey Spots reset and become unavailable as you progress to the next chapter of the storyline, so check them out when available.
How To Use Advanced Seals
As mentioned before, Advanced Seals allow you to upgrade your character to one of the classes in the Advanced Class. There are several Advanced Classes to choose from. All of them require you to have a character level of 20 which will require some XP farming. The character must also match the relevant proficiency of the said class. Here is a little overview of the different classes in Advanced Class and their requirements.

To use your Advanced Seal, you must first go to the Training grounds and talk to the Training Instructor. There you can see an option for unlocking a new advanced class for your character.
In case you unlock multiple classes, you will not have to spend any extra seals if you want to switch between them. Thus, there is no cost for switching to a class you have already unlocked.
Taking The Class Certification Exam
Even when you have the Advanced Seals, you will not be able to use them right away. To use the seals, you must complete the Advanced Certification Exam. It will be available in the Expand Facility menu at the training instructor.
To purchase this upgrade, you will need 10 Quality Building Materials and 10 Veteran Training Gear. Once you have the upgrade, you will then be able to use the Advanced Seals.
