{{Quotation|[https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/jobguide/bluemage FinalFantasyXIV.com Blue Mage]|A so-called mage of rather questionable character claims to have mastered an outlandish form of spellcasting that resembles neither black nor white magic during his voyage to the New World. Allegedly, anyone who purchases one of his soul crystals can learn to mimic the aetherial magicks of wild creatures. But can he be trusted, or is he merely a con artist looking to make a quick gil?}}

{{TOC limit RIGHT|3}}
[[Blue Mage]] ('''BLU''') is a [[Limited Job]] specializing in harnessing the [[Blue Magic Spellbook|powers]] of enemy creatures. While it is classified as a {{Magical Ranged DPS|name=y}}, it can adopt the roles of {{Tank|name=y}}, {{Healer|name=y}}, or {{Dps|name=y}} based on the spells the player equips and {{action icon|Aetheric Mimicry}}. With over 100 spells to choose from, Blue Mages have great flexibility in customizing their playstyle.

Its status as a limited job, along with a having a lower level cap (10-20 levels lower depending on the patch) than other jobs, restricts the type of content it can participate in, making many blue mage activities self-contained. However, blue mages using the correct spells have the strongest burst damage of any job in the game. Moreover, their available spells are not affected by level sync. This makes the job popular for quickly "farming" level synced duties or [[FATE]]s for various objectives, such as [[Moogle Treasure Trove Events]]. Some blue mage spells are needed to spawn certain [[Elite Marks|Rank S Elite Mark]]s.

{{clear|left}}
== General information ==
Harnessing the power of blue magic, players can learn to mimic the abilities of wild beasts with this new job. [[Blue Mage]] was added outside an [[expansion]] with [[patch 4.5]].

=== Guild ===
Quest givers hang out in the plaza outside [[Milvaneth Sacrarium]] in [[Ul'dah - Steps of Thal]].

=== Unlock ===
*Complete the [[quest]]: {{i|Out of the Blue}}
*Requirement: Level 50 Disciple of War or Magic
*Starting NPC: [[Zealous Yellowjacket]] in [[Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks]] {{coords|10.0, 11.0}}
*Prerequisite Quest: Players must first complete the [[Main Scenario Quest]] {{i|The Ultimate Weapon}}.
*To switch class to Blue Mage, equip the {{item icon|Rainmaker}} weapon.

=== Equipment ===
'''[[Blue Mage's Arm]]'''

'''[[Blue Mage Only Armor Sets]]'''

And other armor and accessories "of Casting." However, unlike other jobs, a blue mage's weapons do not have any main attributes that enhance their base stats, meaning that a blue mage is weaker stat-wise than other jobs in equivalent item level gear. Instead, blue mage damage is based solely on [[intelligence]] points.

===Leveling===
{{hatnote|See also: [[Limited jobs#Blue Mage|Blue Mage Leveling Guide]]}}

Blue mages gain greater [[experience]] from battling [[enemies]] in the open world than other jobs do. However, no bonuses are granted to experience gained from {{i|FATE}} or {{i|guildleve}} enemies.

==Limited Jobs==
Blue Mage is the first limited job in the game. As such, there are several key points that distinguish it from other [[jobs]].

Blue mage functions independently of other [[classes]] and jobs, starting at level 1 with a '''maximum level of 80'''.

When playing as a blue mage, it is possible to participate in [[duties]] with other players in preformed or undersized parties. However, matchmaking using [[Duty Finder]] is disabled. In addition, the following duties will remain inaccessible:
*{{i|Duty Roulette}}s
*[[File:Adventuring Foray.png|20px|link=Field Operations]] [[Field Operations]]
**It is not possible to change to blue mage after entering these instances.
*{{i|Ultimate Raids}}
*{{i|Deep Dungeon}}s
*[[File:Variant Dungeon.png|20px|link=Variant_and_Criterion_Dungeons]] [[Variant_and_Criterion_Dungeons|Variant and Criterion Dungeons]]
*{{i|PvP}}, including [[duels]]
**It is possible, however, to enter [[the Wolves' Den]] as a blue mage.
*[[File:Stone Sky Sea icon1.png|20px|link=Stone, Sky, Sea]] [[Stone, Sky, Sea]]

*[[File:Trust icon2.png|20px|link=Trust]] [[Trust]], [[File:Duty support icon1.png|20px|link=Duty Support]] [[Duty Support]], and [[Command Missions]]

Blue mage cannot be used to progress through the {{i|Main Scenario Quests}}.

[[Retainers]] cannot be assigned the blue mage job.

{{:List of blue mage traits}}

==Job Mechanics==
[[Blue Mage]] has no [[Job Gauge]] nor any traditional combos. Stacking individual spell effects in creative ways is how Blue Mage deals its most effective damage.

===Active Actions===
[[File:blue mage active actions1.png|400px]]

Before [[#Learning Spells|spells]] can be set to your hotbar, they must first be selected as active actions. You can have up to 24 active actions at any given time.
* Active actions cannot be changed during combat or during certain duties.

===Active Sets===
Active actions can also be saved together as a set. Up to five active sets can be saved.
* The presently selected active set will not affect the layout of your hotbar.

==Learning Spells==
{{see also|Blue Mage Spells Learning Guide}}
Rather than gaining new actions by increasing in level, blue mages learn them from enemies. In order to do so, you must first witness an enemy perform a special attack in battle. Once it is defeated, you have a chance of acquiring the ability. You do not have to be hit by that spell. After defeating the enemy, you have a chance of learning that spell. The chance is determined by the rank of the spell. ★ is the easiest to learn while ★★★★★ is the hardest.
* You don't need to be hit by the spell, only to see it cast.
* If you're dead when the enemy is defeated, you will not learn the spell. This also applies to deaths due to {{action icon|Final Sting}} and {{action icon|Self-destruct}}.
* If one person in a party learns the spell, everyone in the party will also learn it, provided you get kill credit (even in instanced duties).
* Out of a duty, job level has no influence on when an action can be learned. There is no minimum level to learn a spell unless it is inside a [[duty]]. If a duty is level-synced (even when undersized), there is a 100% chance of learning the spell. If unsynced, the spell learning rate is dependent on the number of stars (estimates put ★★★★★ spell learning rates at 5%), but is not 100%.
* There are two exceptions to the rule that spells learned unsync do not have a 100% drop rate: these are {{action icon|Mind Blast}} (from {{i|The Tam-Tara Deepcroft}}) and {{action icon|Glower}} (from {{i|The Aurum Vale}}). These two are required by job quests, and will thus always drop.
* You are also not guaranteed to learn a spell from a monster that uses it in a [[Masked Carnivale]] fight, even though they are synced duties.

===[[Blue Magic Spellbook]]===
[[File:blue magic spellbook2.png|350px|right]]
All spells you have learned are recorded in the [[Blue Magic Spellbook]]. The book also contains hints on how to acquire other spells.

===Whalaqee Totems===
{{:Whalaqee Totem}}

==Blue Mage Activities==

===[[The Masked Carnivale]]===
A series of solo battles exclusively for blue mages, the Masked Carnivale offers a range of opponents on which to test their skills, earning rewards in the process. Completing certain Masked Carnivale stages is required to progress in the blue mage job quests.

===[[Blue Mage Log]]===

The blue mage log allows you to form parties with other blue mages and participate in specific duties.

'''How to Unlock'''

Requires Blue Mage Level 60

Complete the blue mage quest {{i|Blue in the Face}} and learn the blue magic spell {{action icon|Frog Legs}}.

'''How to Participate'''

From the log, you may view a list of available duties, recruit party members, and commence duties. Please note that the completion of duties will only count towards blue mage log progress if the party meets the size requirements. For this reason, it is recommended that you avoid using the "Undersized Party" option.

'''Available Duties'''

Successfully completing duties listed in the blue mage log will mark them as complete, provided that you fulfill the requirements.

Various rewards will be granted upon completion of these duties. Greater rewards are earned the first time a duty is completed via the blue mage log.

'''Weekly Targets'''

Greater rewards are given for completing duties marked as weekly targets, which are marked with a silver star.
* The additional rewards for a weekly target can only be earned once per week.
* Weekly targets are reset every Tuesday at 12:00 a.m. (PST).

'''Prime Targets'''

In addition to the standard weekly target, marked with a silver star in the list of duties, there is also a prime target, marked with a gold star. While the prime target offers increased rewards, the difficulty is significantly higher. The duties selected as prime targets are not otherwise accessible via the blue mage log.

===[[Extreme Trials]] and [[Savage Raids]]===
Completing extreme trials and the final encounter of a savage raid tier with a full party of blue mages, Silence Echo turned on, and Unrestricted Party turned off, will fulfill [[Battle Achievements (Achievements)|achievements]] that reward exclusive [[titles]] and the {{item icon|Morbol (Mount)}} [[mounts|mount]].

==Achievements==

===A Blue Mage's Panoply===
====Form & Function====
{{quotation|[[Encyclopædia Eorzea]] Volume III, p. 254|While similar in many ways to the garb of other magical practitioners, the dress of a blue mage is most notably informed by its eponymous color. This is thought to be of considerable significance to the Whalaqee originators of blue magic practices, as it is associated with ceruleum—"lifeblood of the planet"—the bountiful Lapis Canyon, and the garb that their people typically wear. Ever zealous in his mission to import Whalaqee traditions to Eorzea wholesale, Martyn has therefore adorned both himself and his protégés in the azure preferred by his mentors. While the finer cultural details may not be conveyed to those of us an ocean away through appearance alone, the blue mages' flamboyant apparel has at least left an impression, as those who frequent the Masked Carnivale can attest.}}

== Trivia ==
* Although the blue mage homeland, [[Tural]] (i.e. the New World) became accessible during the [[Dawntrail]] expansion, there are very few references to this job aside from the [[Wachumeqimeqi Deliveries]] sidequests. Lapis Canyon remains inaccessible, and there are no blue mage / Whalaqee settlements in Dawntrail zones. In addition, the job did not receive an update during that expansion due to resources being focused on the new [[beastmaster]] limited job, although there are planned to be blue mage updates in the future.

{{Quotation|Elenyate, Hhusatahwi, [[Shaaloani]]|''The Eshceyaani Wilds are lousy with snakes. Getting bitten out there is just a part of life─or part of death, if it happens to come at the jaws of the silver-scaled Uktena. It isn't venomous, so far as we know. It's just enormous─swallowing unlucky travelers and their rroneek whole. Soon it'll be big enough to qualify as a full-fledged tural vidraal...unless we have anything to do with it.''}}

==Lore==

==Trivia==
In Cherokee folklore, the Uktena is a [[wikipedia:Horned_Serpent|Horned Serpent]] which represents the underworld and is associated with storms.
