What\u2019s a Blue Mage?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blue mage is a job where they use \u201cmagical points (MP)\u201d to reproduce an attack of the enemy. We can say (350mp is required to reproduce 1000 needles \/ to cast 1000 needles). There are two types of blue magic: \u201cPhysical\u201d Blue Magic and \u201cMagical\u201d Blue Magic. All these blue-magic will not give you any TP-return.<\/p>\n

Physical blue-magic are just like any other physical weapon, you need accuracy to land them. Since blue-mage uses MP to \u201creproduce\u201d that attack, rather that attack lands or not depends upon your accuracy. Its very simple to prove this, equip a staff and start casting spell. Since you do not have staff skill (as blue mage), you will even miss the spell with the help of Chain Affinity. This proves accuracy helps. Attack is still on debate, but imo, it does not do ANYTHING to damage output, please refer to advanced blue mage knowledge in the explanation.<\/p>\n

Magical blue-magic are just like a black mage. Skill \/ magic accuracy matters. Using the right staff also matters, but this requires you to un-equip your sword so usually its not necessary or preferred to do so. A simple test would be trying to cast 1000 needles. Without light-staff, it becomes impossible to land on exp mobs. Also, I realize I have greater success in draining MP when I was exping on Colibri with another Hume blue-mage. Its because TaruTaru (myself) got higher INT plus I got 5 INT merit, which puts me in a very advantage position.<\/p>\n

So how do you get Blue-Magic?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No you don\u2019t buy them off the shop. You learn them. To learn blue-magic, you<\/p>\n
