Job Overview

Blue Mage


After finishing the An Empty Vessel quest, a Blue Mage (BLU) can employ the legendary arts of the Aht Urhgan Immortals, a unit of elite imperial special forces. These formidable fighter-mages employ elegantly curved blades for close combat, while decimating their enemies from afar with fell magic mastered from their opponents.

Using Blue Magic

  • Unlike other magic spells, it is not possible to use Blue Magic as soon as it is acquired. First, the spells you wish to use must be set.
  1. Point Total/Maximum. Each Blue Magic spell is assigned a point value (Blue Magic Points). The level of the Blue Mage determines the maximum number of points available for setting spells.
  2. Maximum Number of Set Spells. The maximum number of Blue Magic spells that can be set to be active at one time is also determined by the Blue Mage's level. This maximum number may decrease when the Blue Mage is under a level restriction and so the set numbers are assigned a color for easy reference.

Acquiring Blue Magic

  • Blue Mages may learn special abilities (known as Blue Magic) used by the monsters they, or their party, defeat.
  • Blue Mage must be set as your main job; it is not possible to learn blue magic with /BLU set as your support job.
  • A Blue Magic spell can be learned 29 or less Blue Magic Skill levels below the skill cap of the spell's job level. A capped Blue Magic Skill is necessary to learn Spells as early as possible. See Blue Magic Skill for an in-depth explanation of this game mechanic.
  • The Blue Mage must not be KO'd when the monster is defeated. You can however be alive when move is used, then KO'd, then raised and learn it when the monster is defeated.
  • It is possible to learn spells from monsters that are Too Weak for your level.
  • It is possible to learn spells from monsters that are attacking someone outside of your party if you claimed the monster.
  • It is possible to learn Blue Magic from BCNM's, Besieged (although to do so someone in your party must land the finishing blow on the mob that used your spell), Assault, and Salvage.
  • It is possible to learn Blue Magic from Dynamis, even if a member of your alliance did not land the killing blow. Verification Needed
  • It is possible to learn Blue Magic from Einherjar, even if a member of your alliance did not land the killing blow. Verification Needed
  • It is not possible to learn Blue Magic from a monster while too far away to receive exp, however, you do not have to actually need to be close enough to see the monster.
  • It is possible to learn Blue Magic if Call For Help has been used on the target.
  • It is possible to learn Blue Magic during Campaign(The player cannot have Allied tags on during the battle. There DOES NOT have to be a battle going on to learn a spell.) Verified Sept 4th 2009. See discussion for details.
  • It is not necessary to be the target of a monster's special ability in order to learn Blue Magic.
  • It is not necessary for the TP attack to connect, but it must execute.
  • It is possible to learn Blue Magic from Maze Lurkers in Moblin Maze Mongers, assuming the monster is the correct species and uses the ability to be learned.
