21:10 the spell name is called "Bristle" and the effect is "Boost" - just as a heads up for any other dummies like me who got it from the first boar but didn't check the skill effect and kept farming for an hour lol

@@WeskAlber bruh I went from 22 to 50 on blue mage today and I'm not kidding that I was listening to this for hours, rewinding to the same spot after Martyn asked for Faze repeatedly. I think I somehow hoped I was doing something wrong between around 30 and 50 cuz uhhh... LMAO. Thanks for the upload though, for real.

im so glad i thought to re-check this again lol i only killed about 12 more boar than necessary cuz of it 😅 and yes the skill name is bristle not boost
very important note for anyone who sees this comment For Diamondback, he is not talking about "Final Steps of Faith" he is talking about a trial called "Steps of Faith" that no longer exists, as it has been replaces with a solo duty you can't easily repeat so stone vigil hard is currently your best option for Diamondback
Here’s what I learned: Let it cast Diamondback a couple of times and cast Doom right before the second cast timer hits. It insta kills and you still get the skill. Just did it last night.
I so appreciate you and the work that it took to make a guide like this. I swear, the Blue Mage guides I see on RUclips all start and end with "Yo get a friend and cheese it like this" and it's so frustrating they don't even bother going into how to do it Solo and when you ask it's just "Yo it's easy to get a friend just do that." You actually put in the work. I can tell it was tedious, but it's SO appreciated, dude.
Hai. Perfect BLU 4/6 Morbol Mount BLU person (no official static so not much prog on A8 and 12) who actually really enjoyed the BLU experience. Doing it a second time just for this video was fucking hell. Which is also why I at least MENTION the cheat way for those who can. But the long way needs to be done.
It is easy to get a friend. It's a lot less easy to be beholden to that friend's play schedule, bathroom breaks, and idle chatter while you're trying to get the BLU shit over and done with.
For solo farming using "The Ram's Voice" and "Ultravibration", set Duty Finder to a low level solo dungeon, hop into the dungeon and leave it. Ultravibration is reset.
So smart. Thanks for the tip lol solo farming this out in one day, half way there already lol. Need my blue to farm some turn 2 for moogle trove and this is a big help to speed me up!
Be careful doing this, the game locks you out of all duties until the daily reset if you exceed 100 duties in a day. I did this trick and got locked out pretty quickly.
This guide helped BLU seem a lot less overwhelming for me and made grinding a lot easier, Blue Mage was one of my favorite classes from 5 and 9 and i appreciate all the guides you make. My entire FC uses your channel to explain classes to the newer members and we appreciate your videos greatly. Keep being awesome. Also I hope your name is a Resident Evil reference xD
Great guide. I'm only at Tam-Tara and was really nervous by attempting to solo it, but by following your guide I managed to get through it with a few deaths here and there!
Thanks for the guide, im just watching it and i allready know i will use it to the full. Only thing i wanted to say as a new player to FFXIV i think people are looking and BLU in very wrong way, ppl say its a joke class or that its pointless. But when i look at it i think that Developers were able to create a job that has its own Endgame content witch for me personaly is fascinating.
Quick tip for the level 40 to level 45 grind if you're doing Mor Dhona; if you go to around X: 12 Y: 11, there are two Lentic Mud Puppies within a couple seconds' walk of each other with really high respawn speeds. Assuming you're using Thousand Needles, by the time you finish killing one of them the other will have respawned or be just about to respawn. You can basically just go back and forth between them almost instantly and grind out XP a lot faster than you could by running around the area.
Man, amazing. So great, especially for people like me who solo everything due to.. lack of friends ingame. Managed to pull up to level 60 on two days. These spells are hilarious. Nothing like finally blowing all those debuffs back into the face of those dang Morbols. :)
the amount of work that went into this is absolutely insane and I can't say I regret the hours I spent jumping around in the video while solo leveling BLU hands down one of the best FFXIV channels on YT
Thank you for this. I soloed until lvl 64 and a poor soul took pity on me. He will forever be my savior. This helped so much and I could never have gotten even that far so easily without this guide.
I'm glad that I found this guide. I have all battle classes on 80 but I didn't want to start leveling Blue Mage because I usually play solo. Started yesterday and I'm now lvl 31 all thanks to this guide. Edit: Just got to lvl 70 today doing everything solo since lvl 1. I'm still working to get the spells to fight Gogo but the guide has been extremely helpful.
Brilliant guide. I have been thinking of level it but put it on hold due to most advices is to do it with group. I am surprised you get so few subscribers despite producing so many excellent guides.
Thanks so much! I can't even imagine how much of a pain this guide was to make for you. I'm also glad you mention having a friend help you is probably more efficient, but there are other options available to do it solo.
It’s a very LONG grind. Both the leveling and getting all the skills. But it’s very rewarding and fun as hell. Be sure you have time to commit grinding for the spells. One advice I have is to use PF for leveling and getting spells.
Thank you so much, this was exactly what I needed! I had a friend level me, but once I hit max, I had no idea what to do, or where to start. This helped prepare me for the fights in the carnivale. Still having trouble on act 2 of gogo, but I'm getting better. Sheesh, all this work for a couple of triple triad cards.
This was so damn helpful, thank you. All the written guides and other videos were either vague or, "Get to 80 in an hour and learn spells." As a BLU main form FF11 I appreciate the work you put in this video.
I wish I'd had this very organized guide when I leveled solo! Would have gone a bit faster, but it was great fun and it is great you are helping people do this. I found the level 70 dungeons ok for soloing, the only boss that gave me a bit of a headache was Myst Dragon in the Burn because I was clumsy with timing at first. I haven't tried it yet but there are a couple Tsukuyomi solo videos out there. Our new spells make us much more OP for solo than we were before.
I think this was a great guide! It lines out everything someone who'd casually like to run through content like this and get to the end of the storyline smoothly. BLU has definitely been some of the greatest solo content I've ran; nothing quite makes me as excited as solo fights like Castrum Fluminis, Deltascape 1, and Sigmascape 1. Nothing quite like barely beating a boss's enrage and learning a skill from it.
so i just happened to find this and only just started my blu mage journey, i want to thank you for making the story portion as easy and steamlined as possible, you really helped me get to 70 and clear it quickly.
ok, i've had an absolute BLAST playing blue mage since this came out. this was exactly what i needed and i love it. will probably take on Gogo this weekend.
Fantastic guide. I had a buddy grind me up to 50 before he had to go to work yesterday using the strategy you suggested, and when I had the rest of the day to myself I still had myself a comprehensive guide on solo content so I could still level and not be miserable and directionless
Additional ram's voice + ultravibration spots: Lvl 63 red kojin in Isle of Zekki (harder to get decent groups, but at least you don't afk, unlike the yumemi in the underwater cave) Lvl 64 lupin bandits in the Glittering Basin south of Namai (can get groups of 5-6, really nice spot) Lvl 65 dzo southwest of Reunion (only in two areas can you sticky tongue a group of 4, may not be worth it) Lvl 67 kiyofusa and magatsu in Monzen (ruins just east of Doma Castle, can easily alternate between here and the ebisu catfish) Lvl 69 specters in the northwest tombs of the Lochs (can only get a group of 4 once/twice, but it's not terribly far from the bhoots to alternate spawns)
I don't recall if he mentioned this but also, the skills don't need to hit you or your companion to be learned. They just need to use them. Also, 1000 Needles was one of the first skills I learned. Makes farming SO easy
A tip for learning skills that you need your chocobo to tank for (e.g. Final Sting): Start the fight with a non-damaging spell, like the Role Spell "Addle". Then just sit back and let your birdy do all the work. It will be easy for him to take aggro, even if he's not built as a tank, since you haven't actually done any damage yet to compete with him for it.
You're a boss bro. Thx for this. 1 fate is worthwhile. Lvl 4 "You call that a toad", Lower La Noscea (24-22): Cane Toad lvl2 - Sticky Tongue skill. Allows you to obtain it far earlier.
As a BLU 'main' (morbol mount, 1/3 omega) who leveled solo, this guide was great! It's basically what I did with some optimizations. I will say that I farmed Ifrit Normal at around lvl 30 with 1k needles for Eruption, which made farming a little more bearable. It just took several runs...lol.
That was my worry. I put a lot of effort in but I was not up for 50+ Ifrit runs and no eruption. I tried this back when it was new and saw nothing that said Normal was anymore viable.
Ok so i've been using this video for the last couple of weeks and i'm currently grinding to finish my spellbook. I also got some progress on GOGO but i feel like i dont do damage to him, so it may take a while. I just want to thank you for this guide, im going to recommend it to all my friends who wants to level up this side job too!
Thanks to this guide I managed to get from 63-70 in a few hours solo. The ram's voice + ultravibration then popping in and out of a dungeon to reset the cool down did wonders! I just found mobs my level or down one, grabbed 3-4, then popped them and repeat. I found that higher levels the ko got resisted completely so you want your level or below. I also wonder if it will work still in Dec or whenever they let blue mage get to 80. And will be nice to get some more new spells to learn.
Thank you for this guide. It’s very detailed. I want to point out a valuable benefit to the weekly targets. Along with getting upgraded gear with your Allied Seals, they can be used to purchase aetheryte tickets from your hunt master. You can then set a monetary threshold of your choosing and teleport anywhere or everywhere for free. This is a priceless resource as you get higher in levels.
Nice guide, but I want to mention one thing... YOU CAN GRAB ERUPTION (ifrit's skill) FROM NORMAL BOWEL OF EMBERS! Trust me, it will help with leveling. I did it solo synced, thanks to 1000 needles.
@@WeskAlber From what I can tell, the whole "higher level trails have higher drop rates" is myth. Is there some evidence or official statement you have to confirm that they increase drop rates?
Hell yea! I was waiting excitedly for this, THANKS SO MUCH! What an amazing resource, your guides are honestly the best and have let me prepare for each job/class wonderfully
Thank you very much for this guide! I just started BLU today and this made it so much more straight forward and easy for me - especially because i'm doing everything solo at the moment
Thanks for the Blue Mage guide, Wesk. I might try solo leveling my new character in Blue Mage when I get my PS5 and upgrade FFXIV to the PS5 version, since the trophy list for that is much less grindy. :)
Even better for grinding is Sticky Tongue, which is available from Cane Toads in the level 2 FATE "You Call That a Toad?" in Lower La Noscea. If you see it's up while you're in the zone as a BLU, ALWAYS go get it.
When you start farming 60-70 with Ultravibration, I found out you can just queue into normal Ifrit solo unsynced, kill him in 1-2 spells, and when you exit your CD is reset. Takes about 20-30 sec, but way better than 2 minutes. My only issue was finding enough mobs to kill since I was killing faster than they would spawn, which is admittedly a good problem to have.
@@lemonton the benefit though is that you can get eruption from ifrit. it's a low drop chance unsync'd but you'll get it by the time you're done leveling. saves the time so you don't have to find a group or spam later.
I only started FFXIV about a month ago and now got Blue Mage to 50 solo including doing Tam-Tara and Aurum. Also just did Ifrit synced to get Eruption. It is really a fun and powerful class. Next step now will be that Carnival. ^^
At a very low level, you can get the Brass Blade by the west entrance to Little Ala Mihgo to fight the Sabotender for you. There's a Bailaor by that guard, pull it, run back to the guard. The sabo should deagro, but the guard should agro it, then just run spam water cannon while the guard kills it for you. From there, learn 7 more spells for Mighty Guard and off you go(You'll get Off-guard free at 5 spells known). And then a little tip for when you get to 44+ mobs is agro them by auto attacking. 44+ mobs have over 2k hp and the initial auto-attack will get your chocobo attacking immediately instead of waiting on your 1st cast to complete and will help ensure that even if your chocobo heals you, it will do enough damage to save you a 3rd cast. Also by autoing before your cast, the mob won't decide to walk away from you while casting needles... Also, once you get 50/60, remember you can save on Poetics/optimize your substats by mix and matching poetics gear and coil/alex gear. The final raids are easy enough to solo at 90 and this will definitely cut down the amount of poetics grinding you might have to do. I also recommend doing as much of your spell learning after your initial 10 for Mighty Guard at 49/59 as 49-50 and 59-60 are the worst levels to get solo and the free bonus XP from learning can break up the monotony. The XP you get from learning scales with level so might as well do it when leveling is at its worst.
crossworld parties also work for BLU level cheesing, just in case you still wanna have access to party chat. if you wanna make your party a crossworld party just put it up on party finder and then cancel the pf recruitment, it'll still stay crossworld.
Psh! Blue mage Isn’t a job, it’s a life style! 🤣 I love blue mage it’s so much fun to walk into a dungeon at level and just destroy everything. #powertrip
8:30 i picked up Blue Mage with only knowing you pick up skills by killing enemies. When i went get Final Sting it took me about an hour because i didn't use my chocobo and obviously i kept dying. Finally i came to terms with myself and had to use my very first potion
Thanks for putting this guide together! It's been very frustrating trying to find a decent guide to leveling Blue Mage and where to learn spells. Almost everything I've seen online has been completely useless, at best just a list of all the Blue Magic spells with no regard for the order you could realistically learn them as you level up. The best one I could find was still kind of bad, as I had to scroll past pages of material to find the actual learning order. Incidentally, it is completely missing Basic Instinct (I used Ctrl+F on the page, it literally is not mentioned anywhere in the guide), so that is the kind of "quality" that is out there. Although, Basic Instinct doesn't seem like it would help that much as long as you are using 1000 Needles for damage and White Wind for healing. Both of those spells do their standard amount, regardless of any buffs. I got through Tam Tara without it, anyway, although the movement speed increase would have been very nice.
this was a fantastic help- one minor note I might say, is do NOT try to do Aurum Vale for glower Synced. that did not go well for me lol. Didn't realize being synced down one level would be such a massive downgrade.
This guide has been super helpful. My only thing i wish was added is exact locations for some of the targets for learning skills or grinding levels. Its hard to see the map co-ords and some of the areas are huge to search EDIT: Turns out i had the video quality really low at 360 for some strange reason. Maxing it allowed me to see mini map coords
I discovered this roation by accident. In the level 48-50 area (Bluefog) if you put Toad Oil on yourself, then apply Bad Breath to the target they have a low chance of hitting you, even if you stand in their AoE. I then apply Bristle then Drill Cannon( if you have it already) and reapply Bad Breath as needed. Toad Oil lasts 2 minutes.
21:10 the spell name is called "Bristle" and the effect is "Boost" - just as a heads up for any other dummies like me who got it from the first boar but didn't check the skill effect and kept farming for an hour lol
Oh did I say the wrong name? Damnit
A small price to pay for content this dense with useful info. It's on me for not checking what Bristle does when I got it, just helping other people avoid a mindless mistake I made lol

I also wonder if it will work still in Dec or whenever they let blue mage get to 80. And will be nice to get some more new spells to learn.
Very helpful guide thank you for taking the time to do this for the FF14 Player base!
Thank you for this guide. It’s very detailed. I want to point out a valuable benefit to the weekly targets. Along with getting upgraded gear with your Allied Seals, they can be used to purchase aetheryte tickets from your hunt master. You can then set a monetary threshold of your choosing and teleport anywhere or everywhere for free. This is a priceless resource as you get higher in levels.
Also, I learned Diamond Back from Stone Vigil Hard. You really just have to make sure you keep at least one NPC in that fight alive.
For the Abalathian Wamoura just cast sleep on a mob next to it and it will guarntee to cast the spell the ai treats it like esuna.
You are the first person to ever suggest this. That's somehow genius

Want Blu for Fate Grinding and getting my Relic Pieces for the weapons much easier.
Nice guide, but I want to mention one thing...
YOU CAN GRAB ERUPTION (ifrit's skill) FROM NORMAL BOWEL OF EMBERS!
Trust me, it will help with leveling. I did it solo synced, thanks to 1000 needles.
Is it actually a good drop rate now? My research told me the drop rate was so piss poor it wasn't even worth mentioning
@@WeskAlber i got it first try, so I'm either lucky, or yes.
I don't know if it's true or not, but I heard that if you do a run synced, it is a garenteed drop.
@@WeskAlber Drop rates are 100% when level synced.
@@WeskAlber From what I can tell, the whole "higher level trails have higher drop rates" is myth.
Is there some evidence or official statement you have to confirm that they increase drop rates?
This guide was pure gold! Sped me through to 60 in an incredibly fast pace. Can't thank you enough.
I dont know if anything for blue mage has changed with Endwalker but thank you for this. It was so helpful
You know when you said: "blue mage isn't a job". I thought you would follow with: "it's a lifestyle". This video still helped me tons, ty!
Hell yea! I was waiting excitedly for this, THANKS SO MUCH! What an amazing resource, your guides are honestly the best and have let me prepare for each job/class wonderfully
Thank you very much for this guide! I just started BLU today and this made it so much more straight forward and easy for me - especially because i'm doing everything solo at the moment
im starting to level blue mage, solo, this guide is perfect, following it step by stap, not having any kind of issue. Still valid in Endwalker. Tyvm
This video helped me finally get my BLU to level cap. Thanks for the awesome guides!!
Just finished this entire guide over the weekend. Thank you very very much for this!
Thanks for this video, I've been following this for the past week or two while lvling BLU when I felt like it. Currently lvl 64, almost done xD
thanks for this, a lot of old guides just tell you to do have a partner.
After three days grinding, I finally reached 70 following your guide. Thank you!
I've been leveling blue mage for the past 2 weeks, its been pretty fun managed to level 1 - 70, thanks for the guide :)
The Kooloo Limpah sent me when you brought up the Tingle spell. XD
Thanks for such an amazing and detailed guide!
Dude this has been so helpful. Thanks so much.
Thank you so very much for this guide it was so much fun playing along with you
I'm just watching this as a loyal fan. My blue mage was already done lol
incredible video man, feels good to get to the end of it :D followed this from level 1 all the way to 70
Thanks for the Blue Mage guide, Wesk. I might try solo leveling my new character in Blue Mage when I get my PS5 and upgrade FFXIV to the PS5 version, since the trophy list for that is much less grindy. :)
Your guides are the best! Thank you so much.
Even better for grinding is Sticky Tongue, which is available from Cane Toads in the level 2 FATE "You Call That a Toad?" in Lower La Noscea. If you see it's up while you're in the zone as a BLU, ALWAYS go get it.
When you start farming 60-70 with Ultravibration, I found out you can just queue into normal Ifrit solo unsynced, kill him in 1-2 spells, and when you exit your CD is reset. Takes about 20-30 sec, but way better than 2 minutes. My only issue was finding enough mobs to kill since I was killing faster than they would spawn, which is admittedly a good problem to have.
@@lemonton the benefit though is that you can get eruption from ifrit. it's a low drop chance unsync'd but you'll get it by the time you're done leveling. saves the time so you don't have to find a group or spam later.
Tysm for this, made it so much easier, i love all ya guides too
subscribed viedos are long but on point and informative shows alot of work done on each video
Thank you very much for your guides man! Really amazing help.
Great guide, made me actualy enjoy bluemage
I only started FFXIV about a month ago and now got Blue Mage to 50 solo including doing Tam-Tara and Aurum. Also just did Ifrit synced to get Eruption. It is really a fun and powerful class. Next step now will be that Carnival. ^^
Btw, if you want to quickly reset the CD on thing like Ultravibration you can join an instance and instantly leave.
At a very low level, you can get the Brass Blade by the west entrance to Little Ala Mihgo to fight the Sabotender for you. There's a Bailaor by that guard, pull it, run back to the guard. The sabo should deagro, but the guard should agro it, then just run spam water cannon while the guard kills it for you. From there, learn 7 more spells for Mighty Guard and off you go(You'll get Off-guard free at 5 spells known).
And then a little tip for when you get to 44+ mobs is agro them by auto attacking. 44+ mobs have over 2k hp and the initial auto-attack will get your chocobo attacking immediately instead of waiting on your 1st cast to complete and will help ensure that even if your chocobo heals you, it will do enough damage to save you a 3rd cast. Also by autoing before your cast, the mob won't decide to walk away from you while casting needles...
Also, once you get 50/60, remember you can save on Poetics/optimize your substats by mix and matching poetics gear and coil/alex gear. The final raids are easy enough to solo at 90 and this will definitely cut down the amount of poetics grinding you might have to do.
I also recommend doing as much of your spell learning after your initial 10 for Mighty Guard at 49/59 as 49-50 and 59-60 are the worst levels to get solo and the free bonus XP from learning can break up the monotony. The XP you get from learning scales with level so might as well do it when leveling is at its worst.
That Ape-Lion race looks like they gotta take a fat sh*t when they're standing still. Awesome guide btw! Thanks!
"There's going to be a lot of grinding you have to do to come." Hmm.
I love you, buddy
Soon!
crossworld parties also work for BLU level cheesing, just in case you still wanna have access to party chat. if you wanna make your party a crossworld party just put it up on party finder and then cancel the pf recruitment, it'll still stay crossworld.
im having a blast following this guide, thnq so much!
Carnival Guide this next week ;P
Psh! Blue mage Isn’t a job, it’s a life style! 🤣 I love blue mage it’s so much fun to walk into a dungeon at level and just destroy everything. #powertrip
Great guide. My blue mage is still under 20 but one of my favorite side jobs to work on.
That Zelda reference with Tingle made me very pleased.
Jesus that friend lvl strat brought me from 25-55 in just about 10 mins. That saved me hours of killing mobs. Glad i found out about that.
8:30 i picked up Blue Mage with only knowing you pick up skills by killing enemies. When i went get Final Sting it took me about an hour because i didn't use my chocobo and obviously i kept dying. Finally i came to terms with myself and had to use my very first potion
My god he actually did it
Thanks for putting this guide together! It's been very frustrating trying to find a decent guide to leveling Blue Mage and where to learn spells. Almost everything I've seen online has been completely useless, at best just a list of all the Blue Magic spells with no regard for the order you could realistically learn them as you level up. The best one I could find was still kind of bad, as I had to scroll past pages of material to find the actual learning order. Incidentally, it is completely missing Basic Instinct (I used Ctrl+F on the page, it literally is not mentioned anywhere in the guide), so that is the kind of "quality" that is out there.
Although, Basic Instinct doesn't seem like it would help that much as long as you are using 1000 Needles for damage and White Wind for healing. Both of those spells do their standard amount, regardless of any buffs. I got through Tam Tara without it, anyway, although the movement speed increase would have been very nice.
You're confusing quality with "release date." Basic Instinct didn't exist until they increased BLU's level cap.
@@WeskAlber Ah, okay well that explains some things then.
Thank you so much for this guide, helped me get into blu mage solo amazing alone ^^
THIS GUIDE IS AMAZING
this was a fantastic help- one minor note I might say, is do NOT try to do Aurum Vale for glower Synced. that did not go well for me lol. Didn't realize being synced down one level would be such a massive downgrade.
Tingle doesn't give over 1mil xp anymore. Tried getting and only got 70k+ xp.
Huge video, thank you so much! Made it all thanks to you!
Using your strats I just earned the "Perfect Blue" title. :D
Thank you for this guide. It helped so much😇
This guide has been super helpful. My only thing i wish was added is exact locations for some of the targets for learning skills or grinding levels. Its hard to see the map co-ords and some of the areas are huge to search
EDIT: Turns out i had the video quality really low at 360 for some strange reason. Maxing it allowed me to see mini map coords
I also do speak the locations. "Right outside Little Ala Mhigo" etc
I discovered this roation by accident. In the level 48-50 area (Bluefog) if you put Toad Oil on yourself, then apply Bad Breath to the target they have a low chance of hitting you, even if you stand in their AoE. I then apply Bristle then Drill Cannon( if you have it already) and reapply Bad Breath as needed. Toad Oil lasts 2 minutes.
Thank you for the guide now I can finally do bluemage
