Idea: Blue Mage Exclusive Mini Zones

[Styrmwyda]

Basically, these zones would be various locations in The New World, including Lapis Canyon, home of the Whalaqee tribe. This zone would be similar to Eureka, though instead of Elemental affinities over enemies heads, it will show their weakness to a certain type of damage. Physical attack weaknesses are also added, with a symbol of a Hammer for those weak to Blunt damage, a symbol of a Lance for those weak to Piercing damage, and a symbol of a Sword for those weak to Slashing damage. Some enemies will have no weaknesses, and while this means you will be able to use any type of spell, it also means you won't be able to do extra damage to them.

It'd be nice. But why not just start by opening Eureka and Bozja to BLU? That lets them re-use existing content.

That can work. They can set a BLU-exclusive quest narrative on those zones, while designing something unique to them, maybe the zones have an exclusive BLU spellbook to be used and filled?

Same logic for Deep Dungeons. While I think it would be awesome to have BLU as DD soloers, it would be even better if it had an actual unique system to it.

How do I delete the blue mage soulstone?

This would be even more work than egi glamours, a very easy type of content that would be available to serve only a niche subsection of the playerbase, and they never even went ahead with that. Blue mage is in a weird position where to be better it needs specific content made for it since they are too scared to integrate it with everyone else's content, and yet they can never justify setting aside the resources to MAKE that content because it would be too niche for the amount of effort required. It's a catch 22; won't become big the way it is if you don't make content for it, and won't make content for it because the playerbase isn't sufficiently big.
