Introductions

 * Greetings! This is my second guide, and as I am so unoriginal and plain, it'll follow a similar format. This is only because I feel that a guide being broken into bits is the best kind of guide; only reading bits when it is needed.
 * Anyway, my name is Tyson from the Fairy server, and this guide will tell you practically the vast majority of what you need to know when you decide to break out that all-dancing all-soloing job, Blue Mage!
 * Being a guide, I will only be discussing relevant topics and assume you have already got the job unlocked, and will focus more on party-uses, with little soloing content because I did NOT solo past level 20, until level 72 (at least EXP mobs).
 * And questions, queries or complaints feel free to drop me a message. This guide is intended to help those who are either interested or playing the job, and want a step-by-step breakdown of what to expect. BLU is a relatively cheap job, but only by compare to other DD jobs. It focuses more on Rare/Ex equipment, which in a way I guess learning magic can consitute to as well.

Blue Mage: Beast within...?

 * Blue mage is one of the most versitile jobs in the entire game. However, this does not mean that you can sub anything, anywhere and be just as effective. It means that in different given circumstances, you can build around that situation to an advantage, and in many cases, this is only true for HNMs or different kinds of quests or battlefields. For EXP, there is only so many subs you should really use, as with most jobs.
 * Firstly, you'll most likely be a DD. This means setting good DD spells, whilst using well-equipped swords and TP/DoT gear whilst you are not casting spells. You have an A- in sword; take THAT red mages! You'll find that having to 'blink' a lot by changing gear can be annoying, but you should always try and macro in appropriate gear to improve the effectiveness of your spells. This is mainly relevant after you get the Magus Jubbah, but it can be something to consider beforehand.
