The Blue Mage Limited Job is Now Live in Final Fantasy XIV

Final Fantasy XIV's Patch 4.5 launched last week, which means its time for the official reveal of the highly anticipated Blue Mage limited job. Blue Mage is the first "limited job" to be introduced to Final Fantasy XIV and is available to players who have a level 50 disciple of war or magic class and have completed the main scenario quest "The Ultimate Weapon" for A Realm Reborn. You can pick up the job by taking on the quest "Out of the Blue" from the Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks.

Unlike other jobs introduced into FFXIV post launch, Blue Mage is designed as a solo experience. Players learn job actions by fighting monsters, mimicking their abilities in battle. Players can even take abilities from major bosses like Shiva, which makes Blue Mage a pretty devastating, but versatile combat class.

Blue Mage will initially be limited to a max level of 50 and can learn 49 unique monster abilities, though the level cap and number of abilities players can learn will increase in future game updates.

If running around smacking monsters alone isn't quite enough for you, Blue Mage players can challenge themselves in the exclusive Blue Mage instance called The Masked Carnivale. The instance challenges players to complete a total of 25 unique stages with weekly rewards available for those who choose to re-enter the Carnivale. Players can enter the instance upon reaching level 50 as a Blue Mage and completing all Blue Mage job quests.

Blue Mage isn't the last thing to come to FFXIV before the summer expansion, though it does come close. The finale of the Stormblood storyline will arrive in late March with Patch 4.56, which will set up the Shadowbringers expansion.

You can check out the Blue Mage reveal trailer below.
