Can we get a BLU level skip potion?

Guess I better report my FC members for helping me level at any point when we weren't in a party, I'll go get the manager. /joke

SE stated when Blue came out that this was an exploit and unintended way to level up Blue. It was due to how the EXP system worked and would be fixed when 5.0 launched. They also went on to say that they would not punish anyone who used it though.

How do you know this is the case?

Almost everyone I know has lvled up blu to at least lvl 50 and only one of those people used an exploit to do it. Everyone else lvled up the class the way SE intended us to. I seriously doubt myself and my group of friends are an anomaly.

I know no one in my FC or my friends FC does it legitimately. No one in my static did it legitimately either. Maybe it's an NA thing?

Edit: I legit no no one who leveled legitimately to 60.

Almost everyone I know used the leech trick.

Leech trick or job swap trick or not, BLU was and still is ridiculously easy to level if you literally just farm enemies above your level (start going Azys Lla for example at lv55 already). Blows my mind how people make a fuss about how certain unorthodox methods allowed people to level their Blue Mage a bit more efficiently, when - and I'm gladly risking a limb here - probably the majority that complains about it levels their combat jobs with Palace of the Dead / Heaven on High on the first few floors, which is arguably as mindbogglingly easy as levelling Blue Mage in general.

This whole conversation imo makes no sense - BLU is easy to level, unorthodox or not and a level skip potion for this job is arguably the most useless thing to add.

Leveling Buemage is pretty fast by just killing mobs that meet your level.
At the beginning when you get 1000 needles it goes really fast up to 40+, afterwards it slows down a little but still.

I agree it gets quite boring after a while but it's not to bad. Just don't overdo it otherwise you risk of getting burnt out.

Skip potion for what, not like you need it for endgame.... ok sure for something two expansions ago.

Because alts are a thing and no one wants to level twice no matter how fast. I'd pay 20 bux to skip to 60 than to redo it any day.

If it was intended intended method for you to level with a friend, they would let you gain exp if they were in the party. What you're doing is abusing a game mechanic which was originally there to prevent kill stealing.

Because Blu is the easiest/most simpleminded class to level. Why should there be a potion to skip the pitifully easy grind? Even without someone helping you it takes next to nothing to level

Calm down y'all

It's not a bug, if it were they'd no doubt be able to fix or change it to be a different way if they wanted to. They were able to patch out the solo leveling thing where you quickly change classes, so I don't think they consider having someone outside your party kill stuff to get you exp a bug.

Edit: Also yeah, with it you can level blu to max in like under 2 hours. Why would you want to spend money to skip such a small grind? Besides, you'll still have to unlock all your spells the normal way.
