Equipment for Bluemage 15-20

[Keyblader]

Well, I just got back to FFXI, and I thought I would work on my Blue Mage. It's only around level 15. So I was wondering what equips are good to get for 15-20.

There's nothing to super major unique that's good around those levels. Grab 1 or 2 astrals if Gil isn't a problem.

The first interesting piece you'll see is this guy:

Nadrs - FFXIclopedia - a Wikia Gaming wiki

You can have it at level 24. It's easy to camp yourself, you'll make a bit of cash (good if you don't already have a good bank built up), and it's both visually attractive and a nice weapon to boot. Useful for several jobs in its level range. If you should decide you don't need it anymore, also quite droppable. It's poison does the same damage as the Poison II spell (10/tick), a 43rd level spell, with a better than average proc rate.

Other equipment:

HQ Bone & Beetle Harnesses and earrings.
Optical Earring is nice

Mohbwa Sash: Great resting piece

Flame Sword: Excellent weapon

Rogetsurin: For pulling

Battle Gloves: Very nice

Mighty Ring

Vision Ring

At such a low level, I would worry more about augmenting your melee DPS than your magic DPS--you'll get better mileage. Eat melee food and use physical spells.

hmm... to be honest these levels will fly by fast. My suggestion is to buy equipment that can be shared with other jobs and subjobs you plan to level. Most equipment is nearly universal pre 30 and can be used for other jobs. If you dont plan to level any other job then I would suggest not getting anything HQ or you need to camp because you will burn through these levels quickly.

I personally took the time to get HQ equipment and Rare/EX drops that I know I use again for other jobs and subjobs I plan to level. This way every time I level a new job/subjob, I have 90% of the equipment I am going to use and only have to buy a few more pieces (like +stat rings) for the job. I have created a mule to hold some of the equipment to save space on my main.

Sabaron gave some excellent equipment suggestions like Battle Gloves, Optical earring, Mohbwa Sash, HQ bone harness set, and HQ Beetle harness set. These can be reused by melee and the sash can be reused by mages.

Nadrs is a sweet ass sword for BLU, as well as THF. and in later levels, definetly a nice town piece.

I was 1/13 on Nadrs without TH which is so bad i guess, but i cant complain its definitely a nice sword to have considering its DMG and delay and its look freakin awesome. Its an exact replica of your BLU AF sword you get at 40. Its also a nice sword to use if your like me always helping his friends do the Rank 3 Mission 2-3 Dragon fight and solo it as level capped 25BLU/12NIN lol.
