      Beastmen's seals are Exclusive. They cannot be sold or traded or bazaared. Their sole use is to purchase Rare/Ex Orbs to instance BCNMs.

      Because of the large number of seals required to purchase orbs it is always recommend that you save any seals you come across.

        My luck isn't extremely good, but I think I've made about 3 million Gil from Beastman Seals since I started playing back at NA release. I've probably used about 500 seals and still have several stacks.

        In today's economy, they should be worth over 2k Gil each if you use them all on Star Orbs for BCNM40 Under Observation or Royal Jelly. The scroll of Utsusemi: Ni, Peacock Charm, and Archer's Ring are all still worth a lot of Gil. You will need to collect several stacks and do tons of BCNMs to finally see a return, but they are definately worth keeping.

          I'd say you could get a much better rate of return than the one cited above on the BCNM20s, but that does require a skilled trio with rather good 20-cap equipment and the right jobs, not to mention the patience to spend weeks bazaaring unauctionable items.

            I prefer to do the 60's pesonally. You can shoot for either the K-Club BC (low drop rate but insanely rewarding) or Jungle Boogey Man which always drops 2 Torques (enfeebling torque is still worth a lot of gil) and other misc. drops.

              Soloing is a bit boring, IMO; duo'ing and trio'ing are much better.

              Our little group of BLU x2 + RNG had a fun time killing IT rabbits while spell hunting last night; Lv.28 x3 party vs. Lv.34-38 Island Rarabs.

              Blue Mage in small groups means good times. ^_^

                  It's very possible. THF doesn't give much to a party until 15; therefore, /THF doesn't give much to a party until 30. Because of this, MNK is usually considered a better newbie sub for someone using WAR as their first to 30. (It's not shabby past that either, but most demand WAR/NIN exclusively.) -- Pteryx

                    i've actually soloed the majority of my BLU levels so far since I enjoy being able to solo when and where I can, plus it lets me re-use my knowledge of monster correlation, which would otherwise just be used for BST.

                    You can get parties as a BLU, but you'll be up against every DD out there while seeking, which is what makes the advantage of being able to solo all the better.

                          Yeah, /RDM will always give you less MP than /WHM or /BLM. That's been the case since forever.

                          Of course, at certain times, it may make more sense to sub /RDM, but it's not because you're going to have more MP.

                            Blm for MP and Int, Whm for Mnd, and Rdm for Int and Mnd. I believe that's the general rule. Smn if you have Diabolos and want to run around Al Zahbi as a straight up G.

                              Well, /SMN actually gives better INT and MND and MP than /RDM. A lot more MP, as a matter of fact. Not that I'd want to use it, of course.

                              For low level Blue Mage, I find these support jobs all acceptable:

                              Lv.1-9: /WHM
                              Lv.10-19: /WHM, /WAR, /BRD
                              Lv.20-29: /RNG, /WAR, /WHM, /NIN, /BRD
                              Lv.30-??: /THF, /NIN, /WAR, /WHM

                              My little static party is usually set up as:
                              RNG/NIN, BLU/WHM, BLU/(whatever--normally /WAR for tanking.)
                              Bamboo shadows sweep the stars,
                              yet not a mote of dust is stirred;
                              Moonlight pierces the depths of the pond,

                                Most recently I've been playing as Blu/War and then unlocked Nin so I could go as Blu/Nin, although I haven't been in a party with that yet. Not because of no invites, but because I need to take some time to farm. >_<

                                Blu has certainly been an enjoyable job for me. It starts out pretty slow since you need to worry about learning spells since you start with none. I recommend Windurst for starting out since you can get Pollen and Foot Kick from the start (both good for getting your blue magic skill up) and then Cocoon and Metallic body a few levels higher. Cocoon will be your best friend for a long time. It's probably one of the key factors that makes Blu soloable. It's fun looking at an Even Match goblin and taking it out as if it were Easy Prey. Blu also gets pretty fair invites. For the early stages you will be playing the role of damage dealer or tank. (Blu/War makes a very nice tank at early levels.) But if you're not going to tank, Blu/Nin would be the way to go. Early on the only thing /War has to offer Blu is Provoke, which is pretty useless when soloing. >_>
