Off Duty

The FFXIV limited-jobs reference. Every Blue Mage spell, and how Beastmaster works.

Blue Mage

124 spells to learn by watching monsters cast them. Then the Masked Carnivale.

Start marking spells, or read the Blue Mage guide.

50 beasts to capture into the Master's Bestiary. Solo, no queue.

Start tracking captures, or read the Beastmaster guide. It unlocks in New Gridania.

No Duty Finder: You can't queue for group content on a limited job. Solo or a pre-formed party; that's the deal.
Capped below the ceiling: Blue Mage sits at 80, frozen until at least the 8.x patches. Beastmaster caps at 50.
Built for after-hours: The job you touch when the raid's done. Collect, farm, sync down, poke at old dungeons.
