Blue Mages will start at level 1, and get increased experience from monsters in the overworld. They will have 49 abilities to learn from monsters (24 which can be equipped at any time) and have a unique arena they can enter called the Masked Carnival. Their level cap is 50 for 4.5, but this may be increased in the future.

Blue Mage cannot queue into any party duty unless it is in a pre-made party. I do not believe it can engage in PvP either. It has been heavily implied that Blue Mage will be increased at a different level rate so that it actually never will be able to experience new content with other "normal" jobs, and will rely primarily on overworld monster hunting and the Masked Carnival.

Many liken this to feeling as though Blue Mage isn't an actual job, but a mini-game side content type thing that rehashes old content. As one user put it, "this is just a gathering class in a magic robe".
