Rewarding Job to play
So with some down time before the Ranger job adjustment update I thought I try to level Blue Mage some more, if anything at least to 37 for Drg subjob.
At first I thought leveling Blu was going to be a daunting task, as there was so many spells you have to learn as you progress in level, I didn't think I would like it since I'm so used to the usual exp grind.
But as it turned out, Blu is by far one of my favorite jobs to exp on.
For starters, the aspect of farming spells is actually really fun. It's SE's way for forcing players to fight monsters where you normally wouldn't if you were exping on another job. It also forces players to go into zones where they normally wouldn't.
I also love the decision aspect to Blu in terms of setting spells. Not only you have to decide which spells works best in the situation/camp you are in, you also have to consider the Stat and Job trait bonus a certain combination of spells set together will provide. This is very unique since pretty much all the mage or dd jobs I've leveled so far pretty much all have something in common.
Last but not least, I love seeing the message "You have learn XYZ spell!" in my chat log! It is a very satisfying thing in this game. Almost better than seeing skill ups and almost as good as seeing skill level ups.
I'm enjoying exping this job so much right now that I might consider rearranging my exp plans. I was planning on finishing Rng to 75, follow by THF and WHM at the same time. Now I'm thinking I should just finish Rng after the update, and then move to Blu.
Some other goals which still needs attention:
- Need to save up for Zahak's Mail for Drg, I'm about half way there, and can't wait to get it since I've been really enjoying meriting on Drg at Bird camp, I decided to cap my merits for it.
- Still working on Parry skill up. Currently at 256, so still a ways to go. But ever since I broke the 250 barrier, I seem to be getting them more frequently in Dynamis. I was really hoping to have this capped before Maat's Cap or Fishing..
- I also need to spend more time in Whitegate, as it seems to be the only place to find event Linkshells for Einherjar/Salvage/Nyzule. I'm still interested in doing all 3, I have a couple shells I read about in mind, but so far, I haven't been able to track down the Sacks on the game yet, so no idea if the timezone will even work out.
