Blue mage is a waste of potential, change my mind.

Abyssal Transfixion can be picked up from Ash in Haukke Manor (Hard) or from adds in The Great Gubal Library. For the latter, when the final boss summons its last pack of adds (the one that requires three people to stand on the circle), let them come out and then wait for them to cast it.

I recommend the Levequest if you can spare the Leves, though.

Iunno I mostly enjoy the experience of helping other blue mages level and get the spells they need for stuff. Being a mentor of sorts. Its always fun to get them to Costa Del Sol, teach them Flying Sardine, then let them tag a mob as I then delete it with one ability. Their reaction to the level ups is usually wonderful moment. Its also just such a great feeling of, with a few tips of how to use certain spells like loom and what not, to see their joy after being Azulmagia. Even just helping them learn a spell like Inferno from Ifrit and their happiness from finally getting it after how many attempts is just a great reward.

Aside from the quest mandatory spells, I try to teach them: Loom, Sonic Boom, Sharpened Knife, and Abyssal Transfixition.

While I have leveled by myself before, its frankly a tedious process of grinding mobs for a long while. Plus being by yourself instead of with someone whose acting like a coach, Iunno just feels draining and lonely.

I'm personally happy that blue mage is going from 60 to 70 and getting more spells as it allows for more of those moments. Though I understand if not everyone just wants memories instead of being able to just go into a duty roulette as a blue mage (albeit modified for that content).

Wholeheartedly agree with all of the above. Leveling a job alongside someone else in a laid back setting is a lot more fun than going through a roulette dungeon, barely able to talk with anyone since we're focused on killing mobs.
