How To Solo Level Blue Mage(Check Pinned Comment)

[@TheNastyNamazu]

So while this video does still work there is a faster method which you can find in this updated guide kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4CQo5SnaJiKhtU Also here is a playlist of various other blue mage guides: kzbin.info/aero/PLtV2UIPuQRfn3-aL7fRQxg9aiUtRPaFck

[@dailybugle2147]

Your guide is the most helpful one I can find since you actually tell us spell locations.

[@TheNastyNamazu]

Yeah, I try to make the process as easy as possible. If your looking for a guide you probably don't want me to tell you to look it up. Also Thanks.

[@anierikidemona]

@@TheNastyNamazu well the effort is absolutely noticed. I must have watched like 20 different ones and they all just go 'grab these spells have fun '

[@Bladerune]

Try watching weskAlber bluemage guide

[@melissas4874]

@@TheNastyNamazu Agree - thanks for this. I dropped the entire blue mage quest and class because other guides seem to point to duties more than open world leveling. That's nice if you can find a group willing to help, but for those of us late to the job the open world is more helpful.

[@deech18]

just subbed because of the ease of this guide and how rare it is to find one like it keep it up

[@zacharyhall7466]

Thank you. Everyone else spends too much time talking about nothing. Quick, to the point, and easy to follow. Sick of watching 20 minute videos for something that can be explained in 5 minutes

[@TheNastyNamazu]

Yeah I try to cut out any fluff because I know for the most part people could care less, and just want to see what they came for.

[@ostentenacity5328]

Great guide! One tip that worked well for me: it’s possible to manually re-enable level sync after turning on the unrestricted party option. While this does make instances more difficult and time consuming, it has the added benefit of giving you a 100% spell learn chance. Some instances are too hard to do this way, but Cutter’s Cry and Bowl of Embers are both manageable on-level as long as you have Basic Instinct and Mighty Guard. If you have trouble with RNG not giving you the darn spell even after a bunch of tries-or if the idea of spamming a dungeon that might decide not to cooperate at the last minute doesn’t appeal-it could be a worthwhile alternative!

[@BomJai]

I am late to starting Blue Mage, but this guide is fantastic. Thanks for putting so much effort in editing and presenting this

[@vladimiralvarez6628]

Thanks I didn't want to watch a 52 minutes guides on other channels. Thanks a lot

[@TheNastyNamazu]

Glad it helped. I try to take as little time as I can to explaining things.

[@rp3119]

Been looking for a decent guide since this last event came out, this guide has a lot of really good and precise information. Thank you.

[@TheNastyNamazu]

Glad it helped you

[@maceofbass9295]

So I found this video AFTER I made it to the Ram's Voice / Ultravibration stage, but I can say that it is exactly how I did my solo leveling and it works like a charm! So, great video :) I did manage to kill my kongamato for UV around level 56, but it was SUPER touch-and-go and I got it on my first kill which was lucky.

[@TheNastyNamazu]

Yeah Ram's Vibration saves so much time if you can get it early. It gets bonus point for being a really good spell after leveling as well.

[@craigfunk3453]

Yeah...I did all of the field acquisition spells each time the lvl cap for BLU increased. I usually use aqua breath - northerlies for a much longer freeze than start going ham with everything else after the spell in question is used (not to mention you can prep another aqua breath - northerlies to refresh the freeze if needed before they unfreeze) made it quick to get new spells so I could focus on the lvl grind, either solo (freeze - vibrate is always nice) or finding the train in the higher zones

[@Ofenna]

I'm late to the levelling BLU party. Hit 60 when it was new, sat on it till now. And of all the things I've seen in guides, the marked maps at 6:48 are the exact godsend of quick and digestible info I was looking for. As well as the guide being straightforward and helpful, you have saved me so much time!

[@TheNastyNamazu]

Thanks, glad you found it help. The funny thing is though I literally just made an updated version of this video.

[@alanpk0]

This is by far the most direct-to-the-point guide ive found. Even among written ones. Leveling less than 1h per day I was able to reach 50 in a week

[@TheNastyNamazu]

Thanks, also you'll be amazed just how much the process speeds up when you get ultravibration. I was able to go for 70 to 80 in maybe an hour and a half.

[@MaouNobunaga]

There's a A Relic Reborn: Chimera Trial with only 1 Chimera for the Rem's Voice and the Dragon's Voice Spells which can be done rather quickly. It's unlocked after playing a few ARR Relic Quests. But the payoff is super. Otherwise just let friends carry through a Cutter's Cry in synced, for it is a high ranking Spell and the rate for it to "drop" unsynced is lower than you'd expect.

[@JuhoToivonen]

Great guide! Spells 33 & 34 The Ram's Voice and The Dragon's Voice can be also obtained at A Relic Reborn: the Chimera (50lvl Trial)

[@TheNastyNamazu]

Yeah, but that is harder for a solo player to do and something I have learned after running multiple blue mage events for learning abilities is...no one ever has the arr relic trials we always have to run cutter's Also thanks. Glad you liked it.

[@JuhoToivonen]

@@TheNastyNamazu That's true. I just wanted to people know it. I did do ARR trial solo at 52lvl with 130ilvl gear. In first try I did die as I run out of mana (forgot Lucid Dreaming). Otherwise I didn't face any trouble. It takes a time to kill it but it also takes time to run dungeon . Those who are looking a bit challenge (and have unlocked ARR trial) will like it. I wouldn't recommend to get ARR trial only for this as Cutter's cry is available for everyone :)

[@bradmadness]

amazing guide! finally took the plunge into blue mage and this made it so much easier. thank you!

[@mrcodez]

Really helpful video thank you! I got started quick with this video and got all the way up to the needles spell really fast. Exactly what I needed.

[@jarzz3601]

I wish this guide existed when I was levelling blue mage the ultravibration tip would of been huge to know

[@TheNastyNamazu]

Yeah, I didn't think of the method until level 68, and I was instantly upset with myself for not thinking of it sooner

[@methylenedioxymethamphetame]

got my blue mage to 70 today using this, thought i'd tell others the issue i ran into. if you're using the rams + ultravibration combo and queuing/leaving dungeons quickly to reset the cooldown, make sure to not do too many at once. apparently you can only do 100 duties a day, and after you've hit that limit you have to wait a full 24 hours before you can do any type of instanced content again. i assume its to prevent bots or something like that, but now i have to wait ages before i can do anything :/

[@CraZZyZEONmONSTER]

to get around this explorer mode aswell, it doesnt class as a ''duty'' as such

[@nafslee]

This is exactly what I needed!

[@TheNastyNamazu]

glad it helped

[@Kidkosmos]

For 1000 needles you can just lure the mob to the Brass Blade NPC nearby and have it attack it with 1000 needles and the NPC will attack it and get emnity and you can sit back and do nothing.

[@jg1009]

“…stubborn like me and don’t wanna ask” YUP THATS WHY IM HERE 🤣

[@phillippepym1560]

That’s for the guide the most simple one to follow

[@jamberry9795]

Great guide! Just made it to 50 following it!

[@TheNastyNamazu]

Glad to hear. The push to 60 can be a bit tedious but after that its a breeze.

[@D3th10rd]

My dumbass out here thinking I had to get hit by the attacks to learn them, that makes this so much easier, thank you so much.

[@mitrikgaduk347]

That "Goodluck" just cracked me up. I'm running through the early Hildebrand stuff from ARR to unlock encounters I don't have to get some BLU spells. There's also some Hard mode dungeons I don't have that I need for some extra spells and some Trials I gotta do (Warring Triad for instance). Yeah, you'll need A LOT of "luck".

[@TheNastyNamazu]

Yeah, I host blue mage events for the fc rather often, and every time there is that moment of "Oh I don't have x hard-mode(usually Pharos Hard)". There is so many hardmodes especially from earlier in the games history that people just don't know exist. Like with Pharos they might unlock the base dungeon and never do it so they can't even see the unlock for the hard.

[@bookwyrm5799]

tysm for this omg also is that a Georgia accent i hear?

[@TheNastyNamazu]

Further south

[@charonib]

I was so lucky to have a friend come with me to get 1000 Needles and Bad Breath under level 20. Coupled with Acorn Bomb and Swiftcast I got to over level 40 in only an hour.

[@SquigglyTheAsianPotato]

Weird how I'm discovering this vid right after thinking about picking my Blu back up

[@garbagedaycleveland]

This is the best class. Really takes me to GW1 days of farming for skills. Im a do nothing and alot of it mmo player this class is HEAVEN inside NIRVANA. Ty for the guide i was a lost kitten stuck in a boat w/o it

[@ffffdsd]

FYI reset your cooldowns using an unsynched trial not a dungeon. There is a limit of 100 dungeons a day to prevent bot farms but trials dont count towards this.

[@MelodyCMoon3331]

Thank you ☺️

[@cheemsdoge]

I found out if you wanna take on higher levels at low levels before choco meteor don't have your bird with you because they will knock off the acorn sleep before you can use 1000 needles, and even then i find myself missing most of my 1000 needles on level 40 and above.

[@ArloMathis]

I have my bird on healer mode because it's kinda useless as a tank and I usually play DPS, I've found it literally never attacks anything and it's generally a help.

[@jude4195]

This guide rules tho an easier to get both ram and dragon voice is by beating the boss of the blue mage quest he drops it as long as you can beat ACT 1 and ACT 2 which are easy

[@emilyspector2728]

This is awesome! I just started BLU and got the Mind Blast spell....still trying to find the damn cactus...grrrrrrr....

[@Chadaragi-san]

What was that big laser beam attack u did at the very start? With all the beams racing down and exploding?

I don't get how do you kill things with Choco Meteor that fast with only two, I use the freezing spell but only do tiny bits of damage with Choco Meteor, am I missing something?

[@TheNastyNamazu]

The footage is primarily there to give you a general idea of what I'm talking about since I was already max level when I made this video. Because of this the damage shown isn't going to be whole accurate. Now as for chocobo meteor it is the strongest overworld spam spell if you have your chocobo companion out. Without it does 200p(I believe) with it does 300p comparatively ram's voice is 220p. Also as someone who did level from 1 to 70 solo I always warn that until you get ultravibration it take a good bit of time..

[@Bluemansonic]

​​@@TheNastyNamazu That explains how you can be a level 49 and not die I am level 32 trying to fight level 32 and if I get swarmed I'm dead Also you were wrong about the levels of health that each enemy has in the level 32 Brayflox they each have 2800 health so it takes 3 needles for 1

[@TheNastyNamazu]

@@Bluemansonic The Hp number were referring to overworld mobs as you shouldn't really be doing dungeons to level blue mage.

[@CrimsonRockz]

Can you make a guide without the Endwalker pre order ring? I just started recently to play FF14 and I don't have access to any of the pre order rings.

[@TheNastyNamazu]

You don't need the earring for this method. In fact, I leveled my blue to max doing what I showed before I even had the earring. All the earring, or any of the exp boosting items, will do is shave off some leveling time they are by no means required just nice to have.

[@jamberry9795]

I don't have any of the preorder boosts, just the brand new ring, which everyone gets after leveling to 50 or finishing ARR, I think. It even stops being useful after hitting level 30 anyway. So yeah, I just hit lvl 50 with this guide and it's all good just with food buffs.

[@elielmelo3069]

in 04mino3 you say something about "predatory instincts", i search but i not find anything abou this. Is a buff?

[@TheNastyNamazu]

I meant basic instinct. I have a really bad habit of saying predatory instinct because of a another game(risk of rain) that has an item called predatory instinct.

[@SDunne]

Four times now I've done the Rams voice one & even letting myself get hit with mulitple times & seeing it casted even more times it still won't drop lol. The Dragon one did though so the RNG gods are against me today..... Great guide though Thanks bud!

[@TheNastyNamazu]

Oh yeah. He either doesn't want to drop it or never casts it, but sadly the faster methods are harder to do solo since it require the doing one the harder carnivals or the relic trial.

if only you can give location to the blu gears that you were buying at4:50

[@TheNastyNamazu]

At 4:50 I'm was at the shadowbringers relic replica vender, and then I show the heavensward tome vender. They are right next to every main aetheryte in all major cities. With arr have lvl 50, heavens 60, storm 70 and so on.

[@octapusxft]

It ended up being better exp to make the Cliones OHK the leeches at the the final ShB area

[@bate01071]

Yeah that’s better after level 55 or so.

[@TRNFloyd]

UV is gonna make leveling to 80 when the cap is raised just that much easier.. Unless it gets nerfed. God I hope it doesn't. D: Thanks for the vid man! I was at 61 wondering how tf I was gonna level to 70. As soon as I heard you say it could one-shot stuff, I ran over there, put my chocobo on healing, killed the first one I found and got the spell. I believe I'm halfway to 65 now and its a hell of a lot better now of a leveling experience thanks to that spell combo!

[@TheNastyNamazu]

Yup easily one of the best blue spell, and doubt it will be nerf blue mage is meant to have a stupid power level that's what makes it fun.

@@mitrikgaduk347 The thing is the last fight isn't even the hardest its just beating the time for the weapon is slightly annoying because of down time.

A good puzzle fight is always nice.

[@craigfunk3453]

@@TheNastyNamazu ah yes, the Friar Rush...such a wonderful cosmetic to earn. I definitely sped up my Gogo fights by using a final sting combo around 35%-40%. I did mine before the endwalker star crunch but a DH-crit final sting with whistle, tingle, and moon flute took off just over 50% (I tested it a few times to get a decent idea of when to use it before properly doing the fight to learn mechanics) and the fun in phase 2 is the holy/flare spells and the meteor. But I enjoy my BLU carnival titles and my Friar Rush.

[@culixstar]

for all those saying the trial "A Relic Reborn: the Chimera" is a good way to get "the ram's voice". No. No it is not. I tried it. I won. It took a little over 30 minutes and got nothing (at lv 51). just do "Cutter's Cry". It's faster and easier.

[@demored3017]

very misinformed video...u didnt tell ppl that u cant hit multiple mobs with 1000 needles, or it will divide the 1k dmg distrubution per mob count

[@TheNastyNamazu]

I made the point of noting that 1000 needles does "1000 damage no more or no less" and in the part where I showed 1000 needles being using on multiple enemies I made sure that my battle log was opened so it would display the damage being done(specifically 333 to the 3 enemies). Moreover, I noted that you should only take on multiple enemies if you can survive tanking them(and/or using acorn bomb one of the bonus spells I listed) the damage isn't the important part of that equation its can you survive.
