Guide Key[]

  • Italicized names are items classifed as Rare and are likely to be expensive.
  • Bold names are items classified as Exclusive or Rare/Exclusive and cannot be bought at an Auction House. These can be skipped over typically.
  • Alt.Opt. subheadings are literally alternate options.
  • HQ refers to a High Quality item. These are generally denoted by the +# and can usually be a synth/crafted item.
  • NQ, conversely, refers to a Normal Quality item.
  • Blue Mages don't have any stand-out defensive stats, so make sure you have some strong defensive gear if you are soloing.


Weapons[]

Sword[]

Lvl 1 Wax Sword +1/Onion Sword
Lvl 7 Sapara +1/Sapara

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.
