Unlock requirements
- Level 50 on any Disciple of War or Magic
- The Ultimate Weapon complete (the ARR main story)
-
Quest: Out of the Blue from the Zealous
Yellowjacket,
- You get the soul crystal, the Rainmaker cannon, and Water Cannon. BLU starts at level 1.
How spell learning works
- See the monster finish casting the spell. The cast has to resolve, not get interrupted.
- Tag the monster and be alive when it dies.
- Open world rolls a chance. Higher-rank spells roll worse.
- Duties run with level sync are a guaranteed learn. Unsynced runs roll chance like the open world.
- One roll covers the party: if one BLU learns, every eligible BLU learns.
Leveling notes
Open-world kills carry a 10x experience bonus, and that bonus is the whole strategy: chain mobs in the highest zone you can survive, or bring a high-level friend outside your party to clean up after you tag. FATEs and levequests don't get the bonus. Deep dungeons are closed to limited jobs entirely, so skip any guide that sends you to Palace of the Dead.
Masked Carnivale
32 solo stages in Ul'dah that gate spell rewards behind puzzle fights, unlocked at BLU 50 via The Real Folk Blues. Weekly targets pay Allied Seals and poetics. Stage milestones unlock Moon Flute (10), Doom (20), and Angel Whisper (30). 13 spells come from Whalaqee totems, earned through achievements rather than bought.
