Level To Obtain

[Regret]

I'm curious, about what other people think so I can create my own opinion. Do you think the Blue Mage quest (assuming you need a quest to get it) will be level 30 like all the other advanced classes. Will it be automatically available with the expansion or will it be a much higher level such as 50?

30 is such a good # why mess with sucess?

Re: Level To Obtain

It could be level 30, but be like SMN in that its pretty well gimped unless you've gotten the other avatars (in this case blue magic spells). I doubt at level 30 you'll be able to do a whole lot of learning the spells since so many more types of mobs become available later on. Ofcourse it could totally depend on how they implement it. It could be like blood pacts and certain ones are unavailable until your blue mage has reached a certain level. It would be like having the level 70 attack BP's at level 10, or hastega, stoneskinga, and blinkga as soon as you hit dunes. It would take a lot of challenge out of it (I'm hypothesising based on what I think blue mage will be like) and also not give the player much to look forward to if he can do all the spells he wants at level 1. I think it would be like rdm's getting refresh at level 15 or something. I haven't played, but it seems like the first levels are spent working on buffs and debuffs, and at 41 you get to incorporate another spell mainstay into your routine. It would be really rough on new rdm's trying to learn to cast 10 spells from the get-go, let alone not having the mp for it.

I'm a bit confused by your post, I was referring to the level requirement for the quest to otain the Blue Mage. From what I read it seems, you were talking about starting at level 30. Please, correct me I'm wrong.

Re: Level To Obtain

so I can create my own opinion

Do you often use other peoples opinions to form your own? Talk about sheep mentality... and do you often use other peoples opinions to form your own opinion on an object/subject that is not avaliable to you or anyone? >.>

Re: Level To Obtain

speaking of blue mage, does anyone know if it will become a begining job in the exspansion pack or if it is going to be a lvl 30 advanced job?

[Ditto]

Re: Level To Obtain

I actually heard hat you will get it at Lv. 60 but tis not concrete evidence.

Re: Level To Obtain

I do when I have no idea where to begin on a certain subject. I understand nothing anyone says here can be fact, but is so harmful to come up with my own personel belief based on small pieces of info that others state?

I'm also curious as to what the primary opinion is, but yes forming an opinion was one of my goals while creating this topic.

Sorry, it was a bit late when I posted that. I meant if you get the job when you have reached lvl 30 with a basic job (like the other advanced jobs). I'm worried if thats the case, then it could become like SMN and not appreciated until you've leveled a job high enough to get all the avatars.

Re: Level To Obtain

Ahh, that makes sense. Thank you for clarifying that.

Re: Level To Obtain

They should make it specifically, "To obtain Blue mage you must have atleast two jobs at level 75."

This will prevent a influx and flood of 300+ people trying to play Blue Mage.

Re: Level To Obtain

oh god, that's mean, I never felt a need to get another job to 75.

I think the coming bluemage rush will be a good thing, more nightmareish dune PTs, and hopefully everyone will be all like " this job sucks, it's hard" and only the good players will be able to get it to 75. <.<

I find that a bad idea, there are better ways of controlling influxes than only allowing 1% of the server to play a class. I hope it will be the standard thirty.

The class should balance itself over the course of a few weeks, people may find the class doesn't suit their personel needs or that they are unable to find parties and therefore quitting it.
