There is so much going on right now in Final Fantasy XIV for players like the patch 4.5 patch notes and the upcoming third expansion Shadowbringers this year. As part of the highly anticipated patch 4.5, the Blue Mage job class is a brand new addition. Of course, you will need to know how to unlock Blue Mage in FFXIV before you can play it.
In this guide, we are going to go over how to unlock Blue Mage in FFXIV. The Blue Mage job is significant for a number of reasons. For one, it is the first “limited job” class. It has a lower max level than others and has a lot of restrictions on what it can and can’t do. In addition, it learns its moves through fighting enemies and acquiring their specific skills.

Lastly, the Blue Mage job is only the second new job class to be added post-launch but not with a new expansion. The other being, of course, Rogue and its job Ninja. Given how unique the class is, it’s no wonder that players are anticipating its release (including this author). But how do you unlock it?
Well, as for how to unlock Blue Mage in FFXIV, there are a couple of requirements we need to get out of the way. The max level 50 class requires you to already have a level 50 or higher Disciple of War or Magic. In addition, you must have finished the quest “The Ultimate Weapon”. With that, all you need to do is head to the Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks.
You will need to speak with the NPC Zealous Yellowjacket at (X:10.0, Y:11.0) to get the starting quest “Out of the Blue”. However, one caveat is that Blue Mage doesn’t come out with the rest of 4.5 on January 8. Instead, it is expected a week later on January 15, 2019. We will have to wait until then.
