Blue Mage Job Guide for FFXIV - Endwalker 6.45 (2024)

FAQs

Why is Blue Mage a limited job? ›

The point of Blue Mage is that the job is, in the context of the series as a whole, very well known. It'd be kind of odd not to have Blue Mage, but it's hard to make Blue Mage work in the context of the game because of how it's designed. Ability learning and balance just don't support it, so they exist in parallel.

The leveling process for Blue Mage is dramatically different from the rest of the jobs. Since Blue Mage gets massively increased experience from enemies in the open world (10x) and is unable to queue for roulettes using the Duty Finder, the most effective way to level up is just by killing enemies in the open world!

Final Fantasy 14: How To Get Every Blue Mage Spell

In-game the Blue Mage is considered a "Limited Job". This means Blue Mages can't queue for content like other jobs can, they can't access competitive PvP modes, they can't go higher than level 80, and they can't progress the Main Story Quest.

Blue mage functions independently of other classes and jobs, starting at level 1 with a maximum level of 80.

To get into dungeon Solo you have to activate the undersized party option. To get any skills with 100% chance you also have to activate the Level Sync option. You can run without Sync option but with vastly reduced chance of learning the skill.

Joining a party with other Blue Mages will increase the chance to learn a spell. In synced dungeons, that is, playing a dungeon at the intended level, you will have a 100 percent chance to learn the spell, as long as you still see the enemy use the spell.

You do NOT have to get hit by the ability to learn the spell! You just have to see it cast. If you are partied with other Blues trying to learn spells, either all Blues get it or none do.

5 Death and L5 Doom, is a recurring Blue Magic spell in the Final Fantasy series. It instantly kills all enemies whose level is a multiple of 5 (ending in 5 or 0). One difficulty in obtaining this spell is that the learner must not die from the spell, which may pose problems for players who have an even-leveled party.

Uniquely, they do no carry any bonus attributes apart from materia slots, and their base attributes never increase, making blue mages less reliant on their weapons than other disciplines. They are treated as being two-handed, preventing use of the off-hand equipment slot.

Can Blue Mages learn from other Blue Mages? ›

Blue Mages cannot learn abilities from Morphers or allied Blue Mages; they must be learned from either the original monster or an opponent Blue Mage. Blue Mages are best used as a support job, especially due to the wide range of healing and support magic they can learn.

Charisma increases the damage and accuracy of some magical Blue Magic. Mind increases the effect of debuffs and healing Blue Magic. Attack does not affect the damage of physical Blue Magic, but does improve mêlée damage and weapon skills. Evasion is good for soloing.

In addition to adding new areas, the expansion pack increases the level cap to 90 and debuts two new jobs, Sage and Reaper, among other changes. As with it's predecessor, Shadowbringers, Endwalker received acclaim, particularly for it's satisfying conclusion to the storyline begun in A Realm Reborn.

In order to unlock Reaper, you must be at least Level 70 on one Discipline of Magic or War job and own the Endwalker Expansion. Once you meet those prerequisites, head on over to Ul'dah, Steps of Nald (X: 12.8, Y:8.6) and speak with the Flustered Attendant and accept the quest "The Killer Instinct".

To unlock Blue Mage on your character, you have to be a Disciple of War or Magic above the level 50 and you have to have “The Ultimate Weapon” quest completed. (This is the last quest in the main part of the story line for A Realm Reborn.)

Much like the name suggests, Limited Jobs have more restrictions than normal job roles. They have lower level caps, and they can't participate in Main Scenario Quests, Ultimate Raids, Deep Dungeons, PvP, and more.

In some games, Blue Mages benefit greatly from the ability to control monsters allowing the player to manipulate monsters to use their skills on the Blue Mage. In some games, Blue Magic is a Limit Break command usable by particular characters.

Blue Mage, as a Limited Job, cannot use LB.
