Blue Mage: Guide to Weapons and Armor

{| border="0" width="100%"

Starting Note
All weapons in Italics are likely to be expensive while those in Bold cannot be bought at an Auction House and typically can be skipped over. All items are my own personal opinion as to what's the best or most feasible choices at these levels.

Throwing
Note: Since Blue Mage does not have any ranking with this skill, it is probably not really worth getting the best if you only need something to pull the mob. The +1/+2 selections at lvel 43 were selected for their status benefits for the slot rather than their damage.

 * Lvl 43 Junior Musketeer's Chakram +1/Junior Musketeer's Chakram +2
