Levels

 * At the current time, neither WAR, RDM nor BLU are able to natively attain this Weapon Skill without additional skill coming from gear or merit points.
 * With 8/8 sword skill merits, Fortitude Torque, and Suppanomimi BLU can get Sanguine Blade at 76.
 * It is possible for BLU to obtain this weapon skill at lv. 80 with 3 sword merits or +6 Sword Skill gear.
 * RDM or WAR will require a combination of merits and sword skill equipment totalling 25. So with full merits a RDM or WAR can obtain 300 skill using 2/3 of Suppanomimi, Fortitude Torque and the new Kensho Hachimaki. With all 3 pieces and max merits RDM or WAR can achieve 300 skill as early as 79.
 * Sword skill level 300 is obtainable without merits by the following jobs at these corresponding levels:
 * Sanguine Blade is only natively available to Paladins, Blue Mages, Warriors, and Dark Knights. Example RDM/WHM with 303 skill does not have access while RDM/WAR does.
