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.
• Sanguine Blade is only natively available to Paladins, Blue Mages, Warriors, and Dark Knights. Red Mage however must use WAR BLU PLD or DRK as subjobs to access this weaponskill, much like Vorpal Blade and Red Lotus Blade.
• Sword skill level 300 is obtainable without merits by the following jobs at these corresponding levels:

Job	Rating	Level
Paladin	A+	80
Blue Mage	A-	80 with 4/8 meirts and no other armor	82 without merits and without armor
