Yes, stopped playing with it (lvl 12) when i realized its all about mob grinding for levels.

I made it to level 16 before I gave up on it. Super boring.

You can technically set up dungeon runs in PF for XP, but it seems most of the dungeons I ran across were running unsynced in order to try and get the spell. I would imagine an XP party wouldn't take too long to fill up.


But yeah, overall...the mob grind is real. I made it to 50 last night, and now I'm just slowly picking up spells when I feel like it. Due to some farming horror stories, I probably won't push too hard until things are nerfed a bit.

I hit 50, got my gear and will wait and see what they decide to do with it. Spell grinding is kind of awful.

Wonder why they did away the passive buffs from spells. I realize that it sometimes created situations where a skill was picked just for it's bonus but like, right now I have spells picked just because.. because lol.

Beyond that I think it could be part of perhaps an idea Reynhart suggested where abilities become our "ilvl", our staff does nothing already anyways lol. Gearing up via abilities making us more powerful sounds a bit more fun at least XD.

I particularly liked playing blue mage as main in XI, part of why I had really wanted to main it here. Found SMN pretty neat too, well at least much later in FFXI's life span lol, but I only watched my friend play that (SMN takes a bit of prep work with all the avatars, like blue mage getting abilities).

Easiest thing I'd say here is to grab a copy of XI and get yourself a Blue Mage there for your fix.
The Ultimate Edition even gives you 30 days of subscription.

Yes, already deleted it

Playing both FFXI and FFXIV as Blue Mage atm and loving it.

[Fawkes]

FFXIV's lackluster Blue Mage has definitely made me consider going back and playing more of FFXI's Blue Mage.

I was just looking to see what gear I had for my BLU the other day but my FFXI inventory is a mess. Or like, 8 messes.
