==General Information==

===Roles===
Black Mages are essential for end-game Sortie and extremely helpful for endgame content including Dynamis Divergence and Odyssey Sheol Gaol. BLM is primarily a damage dealer but can save parties in a pinch with a combination of its potent Breakga/Sleepga and Mana Wall to serve as a damage sponge while the rest of the party gets things under control. As a Black Mage, successfully magic bursting (and having the party aligned and able to create the requisite skillchains) is critically important to your damage output. Black mage is one of the most powerful damage dealers in the game when used correctly in the right situations with proper planning and execution.

Black Mage should be expected to:
*Deal elemental damage
**Switching between bursting or free nuking sets.
**Know the elemental weaknesses of the foe.
**Magic Burst, whether solo or coordinating with a group.
**Understanding the gist of magic accuracy and magic damage, detailed in a section below.

*Support
**[[Elemental Debuff]]s - especially [[Burn]] for increasing magic damage for the party - and [[Impact]] are powerful
**Competent curing is very helpful in a pinch, especially if you're running SCH or WHM as a subjob.
**Crowd control with Sleepga, Bind, Stun, and Breakga.
***/SCH provides the potential for Dispelga as well.

*Be frontline or backline
**BLM can and should WS to SC in various situations.
**BLM has Mana Wall, and can use it well.
**BLM has the ability to generate TP without meleeing via [[Occult Acumen]]
**BLM has access to AoE WSs and Spells.
**It is often not appropriate to run just because you have hate.

===Mana Wall===

[[Mana Wall]] should not be ignored - when geared properly, you can be a tanking god for 5 minutes and potentially allow your party to recover or get away safe. The way this ability works, damage against you is halved (after you master, it's reduced by 70%!) and then converted to MP damage instead; this is obviously stupidly powerful with your MP pool but it stacks with other Mana Wall gear and your -Damage Taken gear as well.

Mana Wall caps at 95% potency, meaning that incoming damage is reduced by 95% THEN converted to MP damage.
*By default Mana Wall's ability provides 50% reduction
*When mastered with JP, additional 20% reduction
*[[Taranus's Cape]] from Ambuscade provides another 10% reduction
*[[Wicce Sabots +3]] provides 25% reduction
*[[Archmage's Staff]] Path C provides 20% reduction - as you can see, the SU4 staff suffices as the additional Mana Wall reduction from the SU5 staff is wasted on the cap.

When using Mana Wall, you should ensure your set also has capped -Damage Taken as those stats are accounted for before the conversion to MP damage is calculated. It's also nice to use gear such as [[Archmage's Staff]] and [[Ethereal Earring]] to convert damage to MP, effectively lowering the "damage" even more so.

As an example borrowed from a [https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxi/comments/ztedor/kaumodaki_blm_su%E2%81%B5_staff/j1pzk8h/ very helpful reddit post]:

The Sortie G Boss, Triboulex, uses an ultimate move called '''"Setting the Stage"''' that deals 30,000 damage divided among all party members in range. With only the BLM in range, that 30,000 damage is reduced:
# -DT reduces that 30k damage by ~50% to '''15,000'''
# Mana Wall gear reduces that 15k damage by 95% to '''750''' damage
# That 750 damage is converted to '''-750 MP'''
# If using Archmage's Staff and Ethereal Earring, you receive 7% of that damage back, returning 52 MP so effectively from the entire attack you only took '''698 MP damage.'''

There are big negatives that prevent Mana Wall to be used to fully tank - namely you shed enmity extremely quickly with Mana Wall active, and it's especially tough to hold enemies unless you're super tanking (meaning no other party members are attacking enemies and pulling enmity). It's recommended to use specific +enmity sets for spells like [[Stun]] to pull away NMs and keep your party safe in times of emergency.

Status effects can also still affect you, and Mana Wall is a buff that CAN be dispelled.

==Support Jobs==
{{Guide Support Jobs Table
|Border Color=#51414F
|Support Jobs=
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=SCH
|Notes=Probably the most useful support job overall for Black Mage. Especially when you hit ML10, where you get [[Ebullience]] to boost damage for your bursts. [[Parsimony]] allows for greater MP management, [[Alacrity]] allows for more rapid -ja accumulation or recast spells such as Death or Comet for targets weak to our limited dark nukes, and [[Manifestation]] allows you to cast [[Klimaform]] to your party members and cast single target spells like Aspir as AOEs. 

Dark Arts reduces the cost of, casting time, and recast time of your nukes. It also will improve your C+ Enfeebling Skill to a B+. 
On the flip side Light Arts provides a healing skill you actually need. Meaning you stand a better chance at removing Doom with Cursna. More powerful cures aren't a terrible thing either. 

[[Sublimation]] provides you great MP recovery that could make or break killing a tough Sortie or Odyssey boss, arguably more useful to have a burst of MP accessible than having Refresh cast on you.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=WHM
|Notes=An important sub for not only the White Mage line of spells, especially the eventual Curaga III at ML10, but for Weapon Skills. As this is generally the preferred sub for gaining access to [[Earth Crusher]] and [[Cataclysm]]. 

Otherwise, /WHM gives access to the same enfeebles as /RDM, sans Gravity with more party support. In the form of Barspells, Cuaraga, Haste, -na spells, etc.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=RDM
|Notes=A handy support job for Haste, Flurry, Refresh, Barspells, Silence, Paralyze, Slow, Gravity, Convert, and extra Fast Cast (and by extension extra spell recast). 

Red Mage as a support job feels like a middle ground between the offerings of White Mage and Scholar. However, Convert and Refresh are overshadowed by Dark Arts, Parsimony, and Sublimation of /SCH. Meaning you generally would sub this if you needed the remaining tools it offers over you other subs.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=SAM
|Notes= /SAM is situationally very useful when you'll be spending a significant amount of time in melee, including for soloing. BLM can and should step up to weapon skill and with /SAM, you can pretty consistently self-SC and then magic burst a spell or two (especially recommended for MLing!). This is especially fun with AM3 on Laevateinn where you can three step your own Light or Dark SCs thanks to Hasso. 

While it may seem counter intuitive to cast with Hasso on given the 50% penalty to casting and recasting. You are only likely getting one burst off anyway without a quick magic proc, and [[Elemental Celerity]] helps you to counter the penalty with a desisted Hasso Fast Cast set leveraging it.

==Understanding Magic==
===Magic Accuracy===

*Outside of minor edits please use the discussion page for the guide to discuss any major edits or corrections.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
When it comes to being a BLM it is more an exercise in what you know about the foe and what you know about mechanics than just going boom-booms. It is easier for a DD to flub their way through than for you to. So let's go over the rigamarole so that we might all suck less.

While melee combat skills provide a corresponding boost to accuracy and attack at a rate of less than 1:1. Magic skill+ are a 1:1 skill to accuracy gain, but provide no extra attack.

To determine your magic accuracy total. Add up your elemental skill, magic accuracy skill, magic accuracy+, merits, gifts, food, buffs, debuffs, and then factor in dINT. Which is in the section below.
*A Mastered BLM with a Master Level of 0 will sit at 512 before any equipment or dINT.
:*Adding an Mpaca's Staff R0 would add 40 Magic Accuracy and 255 skill for 807.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
{{:Magic Hit Rate|transcludesection=Simplification}}}}
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
INT also plays a role in the magic accuracy of all nukes and INT based enfeebles. The magic accuracy bonus of INT depends on two things:
#dINT, the difference of INT between caster and foe.
#[[Magic Hit Rate]], which we covered, but factors in here.
{{:Intelligence|transcludesection=dINT Table}}

So, INT has a sweet spot from -10 to +10, but also a no-no spot, and that spot is 70+. Which by that age you don't expect much anyway.
*Ba-dum-tss

{{:Magic Hit Rate|transcludesection=dINT Example}}

{{:Intelligence|transcludesection=Foe INT}}

<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
The [[Resist]]ance of a foe is the final and most important piece of the puzzle. Not only for magic accuracy, but for damage. Though we will only cover the accuracy portion of that here, just like with INT.

{| style="border: 2px solid #3C6A95; text-align: center; margin: 3px; width: 100%; max-width: 788px;" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"

| 5%
|}

First, let me just summarize the resist page here in terms of accuracy. Foes have individual resistances to all elements, and these values are tiered out in the table above. A neutral resistance tier is 100%, where as weakness would be anything above that, and vice versa for resitance. 
Any foe with a resistance status of 50% forces a resist. Resists will be either a 1/2 (-50%), 1/4 (-75%), or 1/8th (-87.5%). So a Skeleton for example, has a {{dark}} dark resistance tier of 50%. This means any dark based spell which lands is not going to either be full damage or full duration.

Now, there are two things players can do to change the resistance, [[Rayke]] and [[Skillchain]]s.
*Rayke reduces the resistance tier to the corresponding element by a tier per rune.
:*E.g. a foe has a 30% resistance tier to an element, and three runes of that element are Rayked. The reistance tier is now 60% for the duration of Rayke, which is a big deal.
*Skillchains will temporarily lower the resistance tier of the damage of the skillchain by one tier for the window of it.
:*Magic bursting also adds a speculated +100 accuracy to a spell.
:*See the [[Resist#Modifying Resistance Rank]] for more explanation on how a SC damage type is determined.
::*It is the lowest resistance tier, but this can change depending on other steps involved.
This becomes very applicable with NMs, which can tend to have different resistance values from ordinary foes of the same family or even other NMs. For example, no tier 3 [[Odyssey]] NM in Sheol Gaol has a weakness above 30% unless their aura is on which then changes it to 100% iirc. With their neutral elements being 25% and their opposing element at the lowest 5% tier. 
This means if you fight a foe like Ongo then the magic defense down from [[Vidohunir]] will not land outside of when the aura is on. Same for defense down effect from a weapon skill against [[Xevioso]]. In fact to finish that thought, they will only really stand a chance to land against Mboze unless Rayke is used.

Further, as a BLM you can uniquely bypass some of the hindrance of Resist tiers while under [[Subtle Sorcery]]. It will bypass the forced resists from a tier 50% or less, but will not solve the next component of elemental resistance tiers.

Second, the remaining factor to resistance to account for is the magic accuracy requirements imposed by resistance tiers. Which is not actually on the wiki currently. Not because I am some rumored gate keeper, but because neither I nor anyone else have gotten around to it, and it involves deciphering Japanese testing through google Translate. Not the easiest for sure, but what is clear is that as resistance tiers go lower and resistance to an element goes higher. It imposes a greater magic accuracy requirement to cap hit rate.
*[https://twitter.com/MBZ2arZNkm174sV/status/1292994041722724352?cxt=HHwWgICjmd_O0fEjAAAA Here] is the testing I am referring to, and one which corroborates the INT magic accuracy/Ongo testing from Lutes blog cited at the bottom references on both of those pages.
:*The red text is confirmed, and the black is theorized.
:*This testing lines up with the observable effective magic accuracy required for [[Ongo]], 1,365.
::*Since you are magic bursting, yes, the resistance rank changes from 30% to 40% for the burst window, and changes the accuracy required to 1,222 before counting the +100 from bursting.
:*Accuracy requirements jump steeply below the 30% tier. The table lacks it for Ongo, but I can make an educated guess based on the data there. Which means you need an effective magic accuracy of ~1,710 to land Burn on Ongo, given it's 25% tier to fire.
Now the testing doesn't go past the 20% tier, but it doesn't need to with how steep it gets. So when it comes to nuking, SC dmg, or enfeebling any iLvl foe around the lowest tiers, forget about it unless you throw the kitchen sink at the foe. Which generally isn't practical.

Fortunately, there is a lower magic accuracy requirement for the higher resistance tiers. Let's tie this together with a practical example using a level 139 [[Apex Draugar]]. Which has a resistance tiers of {{fire}} 130%, {{ice}} 70%, and {{dark}} 50%. Spells would cap hit rate at the following:
*{{fire}} 1,102
*{{ice}} 1,204
*{{dark}} 1,295
:*Due to the forced resist, if you casted sleep. Then you will either not land the spell or it will land for a reduced time.

What is cool about all of this this is that outside of anything that lowers your macc or boosts the magic evasion of the foe, you can better figure out or fine tune a set to cap hit rate.
{{:Magic Hit Rate|transcludesection=Table}}

<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
Practical implications of the write up:
*Gear enfeebles like sleep or break with a focus in magic accuracy and enfeebling skill.
*Magic Hit Rate caps at 95%, and a miss is simply a reist, which has various values.
*The value of macc from INT depends on dINT. It can be as large as +1 or as low as +0.
*Resistance Ranks aka Resistance Tiers dramatically impact magic accuracy.

===Affinity===

Affinity, also referred to as "Elemental Magic Attack Bonus", adds damage in a separate multiplier term from all standard forms of Magic Attack Bonus.

The base value for this term when no Affinity gear is present = 1.0.

For each stat on gear with Elemental affinity listed:
* Damage affinity +1: Affinity = 1.1
* Damage affinity +2: Affinity = 1.15
* Damage affinity +3: Affinity = 1.20
* Damage affinity +4: Affinity = 1.25
* Damage affinity +5: Affinity = 1.30
* Damage affinity +6: Affinity = 1.35

Elemental Magic Attack Bonus from gear is additive with this term. This statistic is found on gear such as [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring]].
* For example, equipping [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] (28%) and [[Archon Ring]] (5%) would make this term = 1.33 for {{dark}} damage.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] uniquely grants this stat for all elements. See its page for details.

Equipment usable by BLM that provides Elemental Magic Attack Bonus include:
* [[Ngqoqwanb]] provides 15% {{Ice}} elemental affinity.
* [[Ossa Grip]] provides 2% {{Ice}} elemental affinity when the user has [[Ice Spikes]] active.
* [[Marin Staff]] and [[Marin Staff +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Wind}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Kaikias' Cape]] provides 4% {{Wind}} elemental affinity.
* [[Quanpur Necklace]] provides 5% {{Earth}} elemental affinity.
* [[Weatherspoon Ring]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Light}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] provides 28% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Archon Ring]] provides 5% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] provides a range of 1-15% elemental affinity bonus for all elements dependent on distance from the target, for a maximum of 15% {{Elements}} elemental affinity if the target is within 1.93' from the player.

Reminder that spells like [[Comet]], [[Impact]], [[Aspir]], and [[Death]] are darkness elemental magic and ARE enhanced by equipment that boosts darkness elemental affinity!

===Cumulative Magic aka -ja Spells===

Cumulative Magic, usually just called "-ja" spells, are a very important part of playing BLM and raising the entire party's damage for a specific element.

Each time a cumulative magic spell is cast, a hidden debuff is placed on the monster which makes the monster take 5% additional damage from damage of that element for 60 seconds. Each successive cast of the same cumulative magic spell on the same target (from any player) will increase this elemental damage boost by an additional 5% of base damage; however, the window is not extended and will end 60 seconds after the first cumulative magic spell hit the monster even if another matching spell is cast, unless you use Empyrean legs (Extends the window all the way to 110 seconds duration if using [[Wicce Chausses +3]]).
*'''The total damage boost caps at 25%.'''

For example, assuming an initial casting damage of 1000 for [[Firaja]], casting [[Firaja]] repeatedly within 60 seconds will result in damage of 1000, 1050, 1100, etc. Other fire damage, such as [[Fire IV]] or [[Wildfire]], will also receive this damage boost (+5%, +10%, etc.) while in effect.

* [[Firaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Fire}} damage per cast
* [[Blizzaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Ice}} damage per cast
* [[Thundaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Thunder}} damage per cast
* [[Aeroja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Wind}} damage per cast
* [[Stoneja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Earth}} damage per cast
* [[Waterja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Water}} damage per cast
* [[Comet]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Dark}} damage per cast

Technically speaking, you only need to have your Empyrean legs equipped on the first cast of Cumulative Magic, but since the [[Wicce Chausses +3]] are BIS for both Free Nuking and Magic Bursting, you don't have to worry much about swapping.

===Death===

[[Death]] is a spell with very different mechanics that are worth knowing more about.

Death has a chance to instantly KO the enemy, though this does not affect NMs. If your enemy is not killed, the damage formula is:

* (Current MP×3 + Magic Damage)×(MAB/MDB)×(Affinity)×(Day/Weather)
** Note that the Magic Damage in the above formula is capped to 32

You need at least 1 MP to cast Death, and using it expends all of your current MP, even if you have Manafont or Manawell up.

Part of the trick to using Death properly is to build specific sets that ensure that you have the highest possible MP prior to use - this is why you'll see BLMs in specific Idle sets that maximize MP, and cast Death using a specific Precast set that retains as much MP as possible so that your MP isn't cut before you even cast the spell.

===Meteor===

Unfortunately, the coolest and most visually spectacular spell that Square-Enix added to the game has very limited use in endgame.

[[Meteor]] is unique in the fact that it's a non-elemental elemental magic spell - meaning that it uses your elemental magic skill to calculate its damage, but it is typeless and cannot be resisted. It does require you to use Elemental Seal before casting, so consider it on a 10-minute cooldown. It also takes eons to cast - consider building a precast set for this spell that crams in as much Quick Magic gear as you can.

* Unlike other nukes, elemental magic skill contributes directly to Meteor base damage, and the damage is independent of the enemy's INT.
** Meteor's base damage can be approximated as: (1+MAB/100)*floor(INT + Elemental Magic Skill/6)*3.5

Meteor is however worth discussing for at least one specific use-case: the Sortie D & H bosses.

If the fight with either of the Sortie D & H bosses go awry, they use a special ability called Vivisection - this is a full dispel on the party that also removes the NM's elemental weakness, meaning that all of your other spells do pitiful damage... with the exception of Meteor, as it's typeless damage! If the boss is low health and gets off Vivisection, consider using Meteor - it could save the run or at least dramatically save time for the fight to recover!

===Impact===

[[Impact]] is a very special spell that can only be cast if you're wearing one of two particular and difficult to acquire pieces of equipment - these cloaks must remain equipped both for the precast and midcast periods:

* [[Twilight Cloak]]
* [[Crepuscular Cloak]] - 119 version so has much higher MACC and stats

Impact is an ALL STATS DOWN debuff on the target that deals dark damage and lowers an enemy's Strength, Dexterity, Vitality, Agility, Intelligence, Mind, and Charisma.

* Each of the target's base stats is reduced by 20% of the value at the time of cast.
** Stat values are snapshotted on cast, so Impact will have the highest potency if applied before other reductions such as [[Elemental Debuff]]s, namely [[Burn]].

As you might imagine, this can be incredibly potent and can dramatically raise damage against certain NMs, in particular the Sortie C and G bosses.

Impact's maximum duration is 3 minutes, though if resisted the duration will be cut drastically. Since this is an elemental magic spell, a combination of elemental magic skill and magic accuracy is highly encouraged to ensure that this great spell lasts as long as possible against foes with high magic evasion. It's worth coordinating with a Red Mage in your party to have them cast Frazzle III on the enemy first before using Impact.

====Hachirin-no-Obi====
[[Hachirin-no-Obi]] is absolutely essential and it's highly recommended to have your Gearswap LUA automatically equip it while nuking when the weather conditions are met. It's a tremendous damage boost and should be paired with [[Klimaform]] either you cast as /SCH or cast by a SCH in your party.

Weather Damage bonuses are as follows:
*+10% bonus for the element matching the day
*+10% bonus for the element matching single weather
**+20% when both single weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+20% bonus for the element matching single weather and day
**+30% when both single weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+25% bonus for the element matching double weather
**+35% when both double weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+35% bonus for the element matching double weather and day
**+45% when both double weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*The element that is weak to the day/weather can suffer the same percentage as above as a penalty
**e.g. {{Fire}} can get -10% during {{Water}} weather.

*First real benchmark to aim for, assuming you can grind up in Ambuscade for a nice cape and pieces of armor.
*If you lack access to the Avatar Prime fights, you can use Witchstone instead
*Archmage's Gloves +1 (Relic Hands) are certainly better, but since you don't really need the +3 for endgame up to you if you want to invest to making these.

*If you chose a different TVR ring from Lehko's, substitute with [[Petrov Ring]] or another [[Chirich Ring +1]], and importantly you should use [[Gazu Bracelets +1]] fully augmented if you do not have Lehko's to cap haste.
*The ambuscade back augment shows PDT -10% rather than DT -5% because shell grants varying levels of MDT-, up to 29% with [[Shell V]]. That means with Shell V, you only need MDT -21% to reach the MDT cap of -50%.

==Tips and Tricks==
===Sortie===

Black Mages are extremely valuable for Sortie endgame runs and on top of their usual role of Magic Bursting everything into smithereens, compiled below are a few tips for bringing the maximum utility to your team:

* Most endgame Sortie groups split up at the beginning to accomplish objectives and receive Shard Key Items to gain access to Sortie's bosses. In just about all normal Sortie magic runs, the BLM will be solely responsible for accomplishing the A objectives:
** After buffing, run south from the start, pop [[Mana Wall]], and round up 6 Acuex enemies. If you have a good Mana Wall set, you should be able to tank them with ease and lose minimal MP.
** Cast [[Firaja]], [[Firaga III]], and other AOE spells to get the 6 Acuex enemies down to 20% or so HP.
** Do not kill any enemies with AOE spells; instead, swap to single target Fire magic and kill them one by one.
** You should spawn chests containing [[Ra'Kaznar Shard A]] and [[Ra'Kaznar Metal A]], as well as a bonus blue chest that has a chance to drop an Old Case.
** If you are lucky enough to see the roaming NM Obdella, you'll easily be able to tank it in your Mana Wall set and Free Nuke it to death for another chest.
* After A objectives are done, many parties start the boss order with D. If so, keep going south and join the rest of the party at the D boss.
* For all bosses, it's wise to save your SCH a strategem and use [[Manifestation]] and cast [[Klimaform]] on the entire party. Since Klimaform's duration and potency are set, you're better off using it and allowing your SCH to have a better strat economy.
* Specific tips and tricks for each boss:
** D/H bosses change their elemental affinities, so you'll have to quickly cast the opposite element to proc the boss. However, if the boss uses Flaming Kick or Icy Grasp, you CAN and SHOULD land [[Burn]] on the boss to raise the rest of the party's damage. If you are unlucky enough to cause the boss to use Vivisection, you should [[Elemental Seal]] then [[Meteor]] to either finish off the boss or at least speed up the end of the fight.
** A/E bosses are pretty simple and you should just [[Burn]] and burst Fire or Earth spells (up to your party's preference)
** B/F bosses alternate between electric hands (use Earth magic) and wind hands (use Ice magic). Annoying if you lose stacks of your -ja magic when it alternates, just soldier through it.
** C/G bosses are susceptible to [[Impact]] if you have access to it, and it is extremely potent. Save [[Burn]] until after you land Impact as it'll overall lower more INT in that order. It's recommended to pop [[Elemental Seal]] if you have it up before using Impact on the G boss to ensure it lasts the maximum duration.

==General Information==

===Roles===
Black Mages are essential for end-game Sortie and extremely helpful for endgame content including Dynamis Divergence and Odyssey Sheol Gaol. BLM is primarily a damage dealer but can save parties in a pinch with a combination of its potent Breakga/Sleepga and Mana Wall to serve as a damage sponge while the rest of the party gets things under control. As a Black Mage, successfully magic bursting (and having the party aligned and able to create the requisite skillchains) is critically important to your damage output. Black mage is one of the most powerful damage dealers in the game when used correctly in the right situations with proper planning and execution.

Black Mage should be expected to:
*Deal elemental damage
**Switching between bursting or free nuking sets.
**Know the elemental weaknesses of the foe.
**Magic Burst, whether solo or coordinating with a group.
**Understanding the gist of magic accuracy and magic damage, detailed in a section below.

*Support
**[[Elemental Debuff]]s - especially [[Burn]] for increasing magic damage for the party - and [[Impact]] are powerful
**Competent curing is very helpful in a pinch, especially if you're running SCH or WHM as a subjob.
**Crowd control with Sleepga, Bind, Stun, and Breakga.
***/SCH provides the potential for Dispelga as well.

*Be frontline or backline
**BLM can and should WS to SC in various situations.
**BLM has Mana Wall, and can use it well.
**BLM has the ability to generate TP without meleeing via [[Occult Acumen]]
**BLM has access to AoE WSs and Spells.
**It is often not appropriate to run just because you have hate.

===Mana Wall===

[[Mana Wall]] should not be ignored - when geared properly, you can be a tanking god for 5 minutes and potentially allow your party to recover or get away safe. The way this ability works, damage against you is halved (after you master, it's reduced by 70%!) and then converted to MP damage instead; this is obviously stupidly powerful with your MP pool but it stacks with other Mana Wall gear and your -Damage Taken gear as well.

Mana Wall caps at 95% potency, meaning that incoming damage is reduced by 95% THEN converted to MP damage.
*By default Mana Wall's ability provides 50% reduction
*When mastered with JP, additional 20% reduction
*[[Taranus's Cape]] from Ambuscade provides another 10% reduction
*[[Wicce Sabots +3]] provides 25% reduction
*[[Archmage's Staff]] Path C provides 20% reduction - as you can see, the SU4 staff suffices as the additional Mana Wall reduction from the SU5 staff is wasted on the cap.

When using Mana Wall, you should ensure your set also has capped -Damage Taken as those stats are accounted for before the conversion to MP damage is calculated. It's also nice to use gear such as [[Archmage's Staff]] and [[Ethereal Earring]] to convert damage to MP, effectively lowering the "damage" even more so.

As an example borrowed from a [https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxi/comments/ztedor/kaumodaki_blm_su%E2%81%B5_staff/j1pzk8h/ very helpful reddit post]:

The Sortie G Boss, Triboulex, uses an ultimate move called '''"Setting the Stage"''' that deals 30,000 damage divided among all party members in range. With only the BLM in range, that 30,000 damage is reduced:
# -DT reduces that 30k damage by ~50% to '''15,000'''
# Mana Wall gear reduces that 15k damage by 95% to '''750''' damage
# That 750 damage is converted to '''-750 MP'''
# If using Archmage's Staff and Ethereal Earring, you receive 7% of that damage back, returning 52 MP so effectively from the entire attack you only took '''698 MP damage.'''

There are big negatives that prevent Mana Wall to be used to fully tank - namely you shed enmity extremely quickly with Mana Wall active, and it's especially tough to hold enemies unless you're super tanking (meaning no other party members are attacking enemies and pulling enmity). It's recommended to use specific +enmity sets for spells like [[Stun]] to pull away NMs and keep your party safe in times of emergency.

Status effects can also still affect you, and Mana Wall is a buff that CAN be dispelled.

|Job=SCH
|Notes=Probably the most useful support job overall for Black Mage. Especially when you hit ML10, where you get [[Ebullience]] to boost damage for your bursts. [[Parsimony]] allows for greater MP management, [[Alacrity]] allows for more rapid -ja accumulation or recast spells such as Death or Comet for targets weak to our limited dark nukes, and [[Manifestation]] allows you to cast [[Klimaform]] to your party members and cast single target spells like Aspir as AOEs. 

Dark Arts reduces the cost of, casting time, and recast time of your nukes. It also will improve your C+ Enfeebling Skill to a B+. 
On the flip side Light Arts provides a healing skill you actually need. Meaning you stand a better chance at removing Doom with Cursna. More powerful cures aren't a terrible thing either. 

[[Sublimation]] provides you great MP recovery that could make or break killing a tough Sortie or Odyssey boss, arguably more useful to have a burst of MP accessible than having Refresh cast on you.

|Notes=An important sub for not only the White Mage line of spells, especially the eventual Curaga III at ML10, but for Weapon Skills. As this is generally the preferred sub for gaining access to [[Earth Crusher]] and [[Cataclysm]]. 

Otherwise, /WHM gives access to the same enfeebles as /RDM, sans Gravity with more party support. In the form of Barspells, Cuaraga, Haste, -na spells, etc.

|Job=RDM
|Notes=A handy support job for Haste, Flurry, Refresh, Barspells, Silence, Paralyze, Slow, Gravity, Convert, and extra Fast Cast (and by extension extra spell recast). 

Red Mage as a support job feels like a middle ground between the offerings of White Mage and Scholar. However, Convert and Refresh are overshadowed by Dark Arts, Parsimony, and Sublimation of /SCH. Meaning you generally would sub this if you needed the remaining tools it offers over you other subs.

|Job=SAM
|Notes= /SAM is situationally very useful when you'll be spending a significant amount of time in melee, including for soloing. BLM can and should step up to weapon skill and with /SAM, you can pretty consistently self-SC and then magic burst a spell or two (especially recommended for MLing!). This is especially fun with AM3 on Laevateinn where you can three step your own Light or Dark SCs thanks to Hasso. 

While it may seem counter intuitive to cast with Hasso on given the 50% penalty to casting and recasting. You are only likely getting one burst off anyway without a quick magic proc, and [[Elemental Celerity]] helps you to counter the penalty with a desisted Hasso Fast Cast set leveraging it.

==Understanding Magic==
===Magic Accuracy===
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
*Outside of minor edits please use the discussion page for the guide to discuss any major edits or corrections.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
When it comes to being a BLM it is more an exercise in what you know about the foe and what you know about mechanics than just going boom-booms. It is easier for a DD to flub their way through than for you to. So let's go over the rigamarole so that we might all suck less.

While melee combat skills provide a corresponding boost to accuracy and attack at a rate of less than 1:1. Magic skill+ are a 1:1 skill to accuracy gain, but provide no extra attack.

To determine your magic accuracy total. Add up your elemental skill, magic accuracy skill, magic accuracy+, merits, gifts, food, buffs, debuffs, and then factor in dINT. Which is in the section below.
*A Mastered BLM with a Master Level of 0 will sit at 512 before any equipment or dINT.
:*Adding an Mpaca's Staff R0 would add 40 Magic Accuracy and 255 skill for 807.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
{{:Magic Hit Rate|transcludesection=Simplification}}}}
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
INT also plays a role in the magic accuracy of all nukes and INT based enfeebles. The magic accuracy bonus of INT depends on two things:
#dINT, the difference of INT between caster and foe.
#[[Magic Hit Rate]], which we covered, but factors in here.
{{:Intelligence|transcludesection=dINT Table}}

So, INT has a sweet spot from -10 to +10, but also a no-no spot, and that spot is 70+. Which by that age you don't expect much anyway.
*Ba-dum-tss

{{:Magic Hit Rate|transcludesection=dINT Example}}

{{:Intelligence|transcludesection=Foe INT}}

<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
The [[Resist]]ance of a foe is the final and most important piece of the puzzle. Not only for magic accuracy, but for damage. Though we will only cover the accuracy portion of that here, just like with INT.

|}

First, let me just summarize the resist page here in terms of accuracy. Foes have individual resistances to all elements, and these values are tiered out in the table above. A neutral resistance tier is 100%, where as weakness would be anything above that, and vice versa for resitance. 
Any foe with a resistance status of 50% forces a resist. Resists will be either a 1/2 (-50%), 1/4 (-75%), or 1/8th (-87.5%). So a Skeleton for example, has a {{dark}} dark resistance tier of 50%. This means any dark based spell which lands is not going to either be full damage or full duration.

Now, there are two things players can do to change the resistance, [[Rayke]] and [[Skillchain]]s.
*Rayke reduces the resistance tier to the corresponding element by a tier per rune.
:*E.g. a foe has a 30% resistance tier to an element, and three runes of that element are Rayked. The reistance tier is now 60% for the duration of Rayke, which is a big deal.
*Skillchains will temporarily lower the resistance tier of the damage of the skillchain by one tier for the window of it.
:*Magic bursting also adds a speculated +100 accuracy to a spell.
:*See the [[Resist#Modifying Resistance Rank]] for more explanation on how a SC damage type is determined.
::*It is the lowest resistance tier, but this can change depending on other steps involved.
This becomes very applicable with NMs, which can tend to have different resistance values from ordinary foes of the same family or even other NMs. For example, no tier 3 [[Odyssey]] NM in Sheol Gaol has a weakness above 30% unless their aura is on which then changes it to 100% iirc. With their neutral elements being 25% and their opposing element at the lowest 5% tier. 
This means if you fight a foe like Ongo then the magic defense down from [[Vidohunir]] will not land outside of when the aura is on. Same for defense down effect from a weapon skill against [[Xevioso]]. In fact to finish that thought, they will only really stand a chance to land against Mboze unless Rayke is used.

Further, as a BLM you can uniquely bypass some of the hindrance of Resist tiers while under [[Subtle Sorcery]]. It will bypass the forced resists from a tier 50% or less, but will not solve the next component of elemental resistance tiers.

Second, the remaining factor to resistance to account for is the magic accuracy requirements imposed by resistance tiers. Which is not actually on the wiki currently. Not because I am some rumored gate keeper, but because neither I nor anyone else have gotten around to it, and it involves deciphering Japanese testing through google Translate. Not the easiest for sure, but what is clear is that as resistance tiers go lower and resistance to an element goes higher. It imposes a greater magic accuracy requirement to cap hit rate.
*[https://twitter.com/MBZ2arZNkm174sV/status/1292994041722724352?cxt=HHwWgICjmd_O0fEjAAAA Here] is the testing I am referring to, and one which corroborates the INT magic accuracy/Ongo testing from Lutes blog cited at the bottom references on both of those pages.
:*The red text is confirmed, and the black is theorized.
:*This testing lines up with the observable effective magic accuracy required for [[Ongo]], 1,365.
::*Since you are magic bursting, yes, the resistance rank changes from 30% to 40% for the burst window, and changes the accuracy required to 1,222 before counting the +100 from bursting.
:*Accuracy requirements jump steeply below the 30% tier. The table lacks it for Ongo, but I can make an educated guess based on the data there. Which means you need an effective magic accuracy of ~1,710 to land Burn on Ongo, given it's 25% tier to fire.
Now the testing doesn't go past the 20% tier, but it doesn't need to with how steep it gets. So when it comes to nuking, SC dmg, or enfeebling any iLvl foe around the lowest tiers, forget about it unless you throw the kitchen sink at the foe. Which generally isn't practical.

Fortunately, there is a lower magic accuracy requirement for the higher resistance tiers. Let's tie this together with a practical example using a level 139 [[Apex Draugar]]. Which has a resistance tiers of {{fire}} 130%, {{ice}} 70%, and {{dark}} 50%. Spells would cap hit rate at the following:
*{{fire}} 1,102
*{{ice}} 1,204
*{{dark}} 1,295
:*Due to the forced resist, if you casted sleep. Then you will either not land the spell or it will land for a reduced time.

What is cool about all of this this is that outside of anything that lowers your macc or boosts the magic evasion of the foe, you can better figure out or fine tune a set to cap hit rate.
{{:Magic Hit Rate|transcludesection=Table}}

<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
Practical implications of the write up:
*Gear enfeebles like sleep or break with a focus in magic accuracy and enfeebling skill.
*Magic Hit Rate caps at 95%, and a miss is simply a reist, which has various values.
*The value of macc from INT depends on dINT. It can be as large as +1 or as low as +0.
*Resistance Ranks aka Resistance Tiers dramatically impact magic accuracy.

===Affinity===

Affinity, also referred to as "Elemental Magic Attack Bonus", adds damage in a separate multiplier term from all standard forms of Magic Attack Bonus.

The base value for this term when no Affinity gear is present = 1.0.

For each stat on gear with Elemental affinity listed:
* Damage affinity +1: Affinity = 1.1
* Damage affinity +2: Affinity = 1.15
* Damage affinity +3: Affinity = 1.20
* Damage affinity +4: Affinity = 1.25
* Damage affinity +5: Affinity = 1.30
* Damage affinity +6: Affinity = 1.35

Elemental Magic Attack Bonus from gear is additive with this term. This statistic is found on gear such as [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring]].
* For example, equipping [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] (28%) and [[Archon Ring]] (5%) would make this term = 1.33 for {{dark}} damage.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] uniquely grants this stat for all elements. See its page for details.

Equipment usable by BLM that provides Elemental Magic Attack Bonus include:
* [[Ngqoqwanb]] provides 15% {{Ice}} elemental affinity.
* [[Ossa Grip]] provides 2% {{Ice}} elemental affinity when the user has [[Ice Spikes]] active.
* [[Marin Staff]] and [[Marin Staff +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Wind}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Kaikias' Cape]] provides 4% {{Wind}} elemental affinity.
* [[Quanpur Necklace]] provides 5% {{Earth}} elemental affinity.
* [[Weatherspoon Ring]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Light}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] provides 28% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Archon Ring]] provides 5% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] provides a range of 1-15% elemental affinity bonus for all elements dependent on distance from the target, for a maximum of 15% {{Elements}} elemental affinity if the target is within 1.93' from the player.

Reminder that spells like [[Comet]], [[Impact]], [[Aspir]], and [[Death]] are darkness elemental magic and ARE enhanced by equipment that boosts darkness elemental affinity!

===Cumulative Magic aka -ja Spells===

Cumulative Magic, usually just called "-ja" spells, are a very important part of playing BLM and raising the entire party's damage for a specific element.

Each time a cumulative magic spell is cast, a hidden debuff is placed on the monster which makes the monster take 5% additional damage from damage of that element for 60 seconds. Each successive cast of the same cumulative magic spell on the same target (from any player) will increase this elemental damage boost by an additional 5% of base damage; however, the window is not extended and will end 60 seconds after the first cumulative magic spell hit the monster even if another matching spell is cast, unless you use Empyrean legs (Extends the window all the way to 110 seconds duration if using [[Wicce Chausses +3]]).
*'''The total damage boost caps at 25%.'''

For example, assuming an initial casting damage of 1000 for [[Firaja]], casting [[Firaja]] repeatedly within 60 seconds will result in damage of 1000, 1050, 1100, etc. Other fire damage, such as [[Fire IV]] or [[Wildfire]], will also receive this damage boost (+5%, +10%, etc.) while in effect.

* [[Firaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Fire}} damage per cast
* [[Blizzaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Ice}} damage per cast
* [[Thundaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Thunder}} damage per cast
* [[Aeroja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Wind}} damage per cast
* [[Stoneja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Earth}} damage per cast
* [[Waterja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Water}} damage per cast
* [[Comet]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Dark}} damage per cast

Technically speaking, you only need to have your Empyrean legs equipped on the first cast of Cumulative Magic, but since the [[Wicce Chausses +3]] are BIS for both Free Nuking and Magic Bursting, you don't have to worry much about swapping.

===Death===

[[Death]] is a spell with very different mechanics that are worth knowing more about.

Death has a chance to instantly KO the enemy, though this does not affect NMs. If your enemy is not killed, the damage formula is:

* (Current MP×3 + Magic Damage)×(MAB/MDB)×(Affinity)×(Day/Weather)
** Note that the Magic Damage in the above formula is capped to 32

You need at least 1 MP to cast Death, and using it expends all of your current MP, even if you have Manafont or Manawell up.

Part of the trick to using Death properly is to build specific sets that ensure that you have the highest possible MP prior to use - this is why you'll see BLMs in specific Idle sets that maximize MP, and cast Death using a specific Precast set that retains as much MP as possible so that your MP isn't cut before you even cast the spell.

===Meteor===

Unfortunately, the coolest and most visually spectacular spell that Square-Enix added to the game has very limited use in endgame.

[[Meteor]] is unique in the fact that it's a non-elemental elemental magic spell - meaning that it uses your elemental magic skill to calculate its damage, but it is typeless and cannot be resisted. It does require you to use Elemental Seal before casting, so consider it on a 10-minute cooldown. It also takes eons to cast - consider building a precast set for this spell that crams in as much Quick Magic gear as you can.

* Unlike other nukes, elemental magic skill contributes directly to Meteor base damage, and the damage is independent of the enemy's INT.
** Meteor's base damage can be approximated as: (1+MAB/100)*floor(INT + Elemental Magic Skill/6)*3.5

Meteor is however worth discussing for at least one specific use-case: the Sortie D & H bosses.

If the fight with either of the Sortie D & H bosses go awry, they use a special ability called Vivisection - this is a full dispel on the party that also removes the NM's elemental weakness, meaning that all of your other spells do pitiful damage... with the exception of Meteor, as it's typeless damage! If the boss is low health and gets off Vivisection, consider using Meteor - it could save the run or at least dramatically save time for the fight to recover!

===Impact===

[[Impact]] is a very special spell that can only be cast if you're wearing one of two particular and difficult to acquire pieces of equipment - these cloaks must remain equipped both for the precast and midcast periods:

* [[Twilight Cloak]]
* [[Crepuscular Cloak]] - 119 version so has much higher MACC and stats

Impact is an ALL STATS DOWN debuff on the target that deals dark damage and lowers an enemy's Strength, Dexterity, Vitality, Agility, Intelligence, Mind, and Charisma.

* Each of the target's base stats is reduced by 20% of the value at the time of cast.
** Stat values are snapshotted on cast, so Impact will have the highest potency if applied before other reductions such as [[Elemental Debuff]]s, namely [[Burn]].

As you might imagine, this can be incredibly potent and can dramatically raise damage against certain NMs, in particular the Sortie C and G bosses.

Impact's maximum duration is 3 minutes, though if resisted the duration will be cut drastically. Since this is an elemental magic spell, a combination of elemental magic skill and magic accuracy is highly encouraged to ensure that this great spell lasts as long as possible against foes with high magic evasion. It's worth coordinating with a Red Mage in your party to have them cast Frazzle III on the enemy first before using Impact.

'''Note that ALL of the Empyrean Armor +3 is BIS for Free Nuking not only because of the stats on them but also because of the Empyrean Armor Proc wherein when Conserve MP is proc'd, extra damage is calculated based on double of the MP conserved.'''

===Other Essential BLM Gear===
====Hachirin-no-Obi====
[[Hachirin-no-Obi]] is absolutely essential and it's highly recommended to have your Gearswap LUA automatically equip it while nuking when the weather conditions are met. It's a tremendous damage boost and should be paired with [[Klimaform]] either you cast as /SCH or cast by a SCH in your party.

Weather Damage bonuses are as follows:
*+10% bonus for the element matching the day
*+10% bonus for the element matching single weather
**+20% when both single weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+20% bonus for the element matching single weather and day
**+30% when both single weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+25% bonus for the element matching double weather
**+35% when both double weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+35% bonus for the element matching double weather and day
**+45% when both double weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*The element that is weak to the day/weather can suffer the same percentage as above as a penalty
**e.g. {{Fire}} can get -10% during {{Water}} weather.

==Gearsets==

'''WIP to create new sets and recommendations for subjobs, Ambuscade capes, and other sets. Edits welcome but should not be unilaterally deleted without replacements in place.'''

===Precast Sets===
'''Note: BLMs receive the Elemental Celerity trait, which provides 30% faster casting (38% when mastered) for specifically elemental magic. However, this does NOT grant faster recast after you're done casting this spell. If you'd like to take advantage of this, you can only have 42 Fast Cast in your Elemental Magic Precast set and fill in the other slots with -DT and Magic Evasion gear.'''

*Requires further testing, but the community has theorized that elemental magic skill disproportionately affects the effectiveness of Impact. Aim for maximum magic accuracy and elemental magic skill.
*Impact can also be cast using the non-ilvl Twilight Cloak if you lack access to the Crep Cloak!
*Impact is dark elemental so can be hard to land on certain mobs.

==Tips and Tricks==
===Sortie===

Black Mages are extremely valuable for Sortie endgame runs and on top of their usual role of Magic Bursting everything into smithereens, compiled below are a few tips for bringing the maximum utility to your team:

* Most endgame Sortie groups split up at the beginning to accomplish objectives and receive Shard Key Items to gain access to Sortie's bosses. In just about all normal Sortie magic runs, the BLM will be solely responsible for accomplishing the A objectives:
** After buffing, run south from the start, pop [[Mana Wall]], and round up 6 Acuex enemies. If you have a good Mana Wall set, you should be able to tank them with ease and lose minimal MP.
** Cast [[Firaja]], [[Firaga III]], and other AOE spells to get the 6 Acuex enemies down to 20% or so HP.
** Do not kill any enemies with AOE spells; instead, swap to single target Fire magic and kill them one by one.
** You should spawn chests containing [[Ra'Kaznar Shard A]] and [[Ra'Kaznar Metal A]], as well as a bonus blue chest that has a chance to drop an Old Case.
** If you are lucky enough to see the roaming NM Obdella, you'll easily be able to tank it in your Mana Wall set and Free Nuke it to death for another chest.
* After A objectives are done, many parties start the boss order with D. If so, keep going south and join the rest of the party at the D boss.
* For all bosses, it's wise to save your SCH a strategem and use [[Manifestation]] and cast [[Klimaform]] on the entire party. Since Klimaform's duration and potency are set, you're better off using it and allowing your SCH to have a better strat economy.
* Specific tips and tricks for each boss:
** D/H bosses change their elemental affinities, so you'll have to quickly cast the opposite element to proc the boss. However, if the boss uses Flaming Kick or Icy Grasp, you CAN and SHOULD land [[Burn]] on the boss to raise the rest of the party's damage. If you are unlucky enough to cause the boss to use Vivisection, you should [[Elemental Seal]] then [[Meteor]] to either finish off the boss or at least speed up the end of the fight.
** A/E bosses are pretty simple and you should just [[Burn]] and burst Fire or Earth spells (up to your party's preference)
** B/F bosses alternate between electric hands (use Earth magic) and wind hands (use Ice magic). Annoying if you lose stacks of your -ja magic when it alternates, just soldier through it.
** C/G bosses are susceptible to [[Impact]] if you have access to it, and it is extremely potent. Save [[Burn]] until after you land Impact as it'll overall lower more INT in that order. It's recommended to pop [[Elemental Seal]] if you have it up before using Impact on the G boss to ensure it lasts the maximum duration.

==General Information==

===Roles===
Black Mages are essential for end-game Sortie and extremely helpful for endgame content including Dynamis Divergence and Odyssey Sheol Gaol. BLM is primarily a damage dealer but can save parties in a pinch with a combination of its potent Breakga/Sleepga and Mana Wall to serve as a damage sponge while the rest of the party gets things under control. As a Black Mage, successfully magic bursting (and having the party aligned and able to create the requisite skillchains) is critically important to your damage output. Black mage is one of the most powerful damage dealers in the game when used correctly in the right situations with proper planning and execution.

Black Mage should be expected to:
*Deal elemental damage
**Switching between bursting or free nuking sets.
**Know the elemental weaknesses of the foe.
**Magic Burst, whether solo or coordinating with a group.
**Understanding the gist of magic accuracy and magic damage, detailed in a section below.

*Support
**[[Elemental Debuff]]s - especially [[Burn]] for increasing magic damage for the party - and [[Impact]] are powerful
**Competent curing is very helpful in a pinch, especially if you're running SCH or WHM as a subjob.
**Crowd control with Sleepga, Bind, Stun, and Breakga.
***/SCH provides the potential for Dispelga as well.

*Be frontline or backline
**BLM can and should WS to SC in various situations.
**BLM has Mana Wall, and can use it well.
**BLM has the ability to generate TP without meleeing via [[Occult Acumen]]
**BLM has access to AoE WSs and Spells.
**It is often not appropriate to run just because you have hate.

===Mana Wall===

[[Mana Wall]] should not be ignored - when geared properly, you can be a tanking god for 5 minutes and potentially allow your party to recover or get away safe. The way this ability works, damage against you is halved (after you master, it's reduced by 70%!) and then converted to MP damage instead; this is obviously stupidly powerful with your MP pool but it stacks with other Mana Wall gear and your -Damage Taken gear as well.

Mana Wall caps at 95% potency, meaning that incoming damage is reduced by 95% THEN converted to MP damage.
*By default Mana Wall's ability provides 50% reduction
*When mastered with JP, additional 20% reduction
*[[Taranus's Cape]] from Ambuscade provides another 10% reduction
*[[Wicce Sabots +3]] provides 25% reduction
*[[Archmage's Staff]] Path C provides 20% reduction - as you can see, the SU4 staff suffices as the additional Mana Wall reduction from the SU5 staff is wasted on the cap.

When using Mana Wall, you should ensure your set also has capped -Damage Taken as those stats are accounted for before the conversion to MP damage is calculated. It's also nice to use gear such as [[Archmage's Staff]] and [[Ethereal Earring]] to convert damage to MP, effectively lowering the "damage" even more so.

As an example borrowed from a [https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxi/comments/ztedor/kaumodaki_blm_su%E2%81%B5_staff/j1pzk8h/ very helpful reddit post]:

The Sortie G Boss, Triboulex, uses an ultimate move called '''"Setting the Stage"''' that deals 30,000 damage divided among all party members in range. With only the BLM in range, that 30,000 damage is reduced:
# -DT reduces that 30k damage by ~50% to '''15,000'''
# Mana Wall gear reduces that 15k damage by 95% to '''750''' damage
# That 750 damage is converted to '''-750 MP'''
# If using Archmage's Staff and Ethereal Earring, you receive 7% of that damage back, returning 52 MP so effectively from the entire attack you only took '''698 MP damage.'''

There are big negatives that prevent Mana Wall to be used to fully tank - namely you shed enmity extremely quickly with Mana Wall active, and it's especially tough to hold enemies unless you're super tanking (meaning no other party members are attacking enemies and pulling enmity). It's recommended to use specific +enmity sets for spells like [[Stun]] to pull away NMs and keep your party safe in times of emergency.

Status effects can also still affect you, and Mana Wall is a buff that CAN be dispelled.

==Support Jobs==
{{Guide Support Jobs Table
|Border Color=#51414F
|Support Jobs=
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=SCH
|Notes=Probably the most useful support job overall for Black Mage. Especially when you hit ML10, where you get [[Ebullience]] to boost damage for your bursts. [[Parsimony]] allows for greater MP management, [[Alacrity]] allows for more rapid -ja accumulation or recast spells such as Death or Comet for targets weak to our limited dark nukes, and [[Manifestation]] allows you to cast [[Klimaform]] to your party members and cast single target spells like Aspir as AOEs. 

Dark Arts reduces the cost of, casting time, and recast time of your nukes. It also will improve your C+ Enfeebling Skill to a B+. 
On the flip side Light Arts provides a healing skill you actually need. Meaning you stand a better chance at removing Doom with Cursna. More powerful cures aren't a terrible thing either. 

[[Sublimation]] provides you great MP recovery that could make or break killing a tough Sortie or Odyssey boss, arguably more useful to have a burst of MP accessible than having Refresh cast on you.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=WHM
|Notes=An important sub for not only the White Mage line of spells, especially the eventual Curaga III at ML10, but for Weapon Skills. As this is generally the preferred sub for gaining access to [[Earth Crusher]] and [[Cataclysm]]. 

Otherwise, /WHM gives access to the same enfeebles as /RDM, sans Gravity with more party support. In the form of Barspells, Cuaraga, Haste, -na spells, etc.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=RDM
|Notes=A handy support job for Haste, Flurry, Refresh, Barspells, Silence, Paralyze, Slow, Gravity, Convert, and extra Fast Cast (and by extension extra spell recast). 

Red Mage as a support job feels like a middle ground between the offerings of White Mage and Scholar. However, Convert and Refresh are overshadowed by Dark Arts, Parsimony, and Sublimation of /SCH. Meaning you generally would sub this if you needed the remaining tools it offers over you other subs.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=SAM
|Notes= /SAM is situationally very useful when you'll be spending a significant amount of time in melee, including for soloing. BLM can and should step up to weapon skill and with /SAM, you can pretty consistently self-SC and then magic burst a spell or two (especially recommended for MLing!). This is especially fun with AM3 on Laevateinn where you can three step your own Light or Dark SCs thanks to Hasso. 

While it may seem counter intuitive to cast with Hasso on given the 50% penalty to casting and recasting. You are only likely getting one burst off anyway without a quick magic proc, and [[Elemental Celerity]] helps you to counter the penalty with a desisted Hasso Fast Cast set leveraging it.

==Understanding Magic==
===Magic Accuracy===
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
*Outside of minor edits please use the discussion page for the guide to discuss any major edits or corrections.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
When it comes to being a BLM it is more an exercise in what you know about the foe and what you know about mechanics than just going boom-booms. It is easier for a DD to flub their way through than for you to. So let's go over the rigamarole so that we might all suck less.

While melee combat skills provide a corresponding boost to accuracy and attack at a rate of less than 1:1. Magic skill+ are a 1:1 skill to accuracy gain, but provide no extra attack.

To determine your magic accuracy total. Add up your elemental skill, magic accuracy skill, magic accuracy+, merits, gifts, food, buffs, debuffs, and then factor in dINT. Which is in the section below.
*A Mastered BLM with a Master Level of 0 will sit at 512 before any equipment or dINT.
:*Adding an Mpaca's Staff R0 would add 40 Magic Accuracy and 255 skill for 807.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
{{:Magic Hit Rate|transcludesection=Simplification}}}}
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
INT also plays a role in the magic accuracy of all nukes and INT based enfeebles. The magic accuracy bonus of INT depends on two things:
#dINT, the difference of INT between caster and foe.
#[[Magic Hit Rate]], which we covered, but factors in here.
{{:Intelligence|transcludesection=dINT Table}}

So, INT has a sweet spot from -10 to +10, but also a no-no spot, and that spot is 70+. Which by that age you don't expect much anyway.
*Ba-dum-tss

{{:Magic Hit Rate|transcludesection=dINT Example}}

{{:Intelligence|transcludesection=Foe INT}}

<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
The [[Resist]]ance of a foe is the final and most important piece of the puzzle. Not only for magic accuracy, but for damage. Though we will only cover the accuracy portion of that here, just like with INT.

{| style="border: 2px solid #3C6A95; text-align: center; margin: 3px; width: 100%; max-width: 788px;" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"

| style="background: #D8EFFE; border-left: 2px solid #3C6A95; border-right: 2px solid #3C6A95;" | 10%
| 5%
|}

First, let me just summarize the resist page here in terms of accuracy. Foes have individual resistances to all elements, and these values are tiered out in the table above. A neutral resistance tier is 100%, where as weakness would be anything above that, and vice versa for resitance. 
Any foe with a resistance status of 50% forces a resist. Resists will be either a 1/2 (-50%), 1/4 (-75%), or 1/8th (-87.5%). So a Skeleton for example, has a {{dark}} dark resistance tier of 50%. This means any dark based spell which lands is not going to either be full damage or full duration.

Now, there are two things players can do to change the resistance, [[Rayke]] and [[Skillchain]]s.
*Rayke reduces the resistance tier to the corresponding element by a tier per rune.
:*E.g. a foe has a 30% resistance tier to an element, and three runes of that element are Rayked. The reistance tier is now 60% for the duration of Rayke, which is a big deal.
*Skillchains will temporarily lower the resistance tier of the damage of the skillchain by one tier for the window of it.
:*Magic bursting also adds a speculated +100 accuracy to a spell.
:*See the [[Resist#Modifying Resistance Rank]] for more explanation on how a SC damage type is determined.
::*It is the lowest resistance tier, but this can change depending on other steps involved.
This becomes very applicable with NMs, which can tend to have different resistance values from ordinary foes of the same family or even other NMs. For example, no tier 3 [[Odyssey]] NM in Sheol Gaol has a weakness above 30% unless their aura is on which then changes it to 100% iirc. With their neutral elements being 25% and their opposing element at the lowest 5% tier. 
This means if you fight a foe like Ongo then the magic defense down from [[Vidohunir]] will not land outside of when the aura is on. Same for defense down effect from a weapon skill against [[Xevioso]]. In fact to finish that thought, they will only really stand a chance to land against Mboze unless Rayke is used.

Further, as a BLM you can uniquely bypass some of the hindrance of Resist tiers while under [[Subtle Sorcery]]. It will bypass the forced resists from a tier 50% or less, but will not solve the next component of elemental resistance tiers.

Second, the remaining factor to resistance to account for is the magic accuracy requirements imposed by resistance tiers. Which is not actually on the wiki currently. Not because I am some rumored gate keeper, but because neither I nor anyone else have gotten around to it, and it involves deciphering Japanese testing through google Translate. Not the easiest for sure, but what is clear is that as resistance tiers go lower and resistance to an element goes higher. It imposes a greater magic accuracy requirement to cap hit rate.
*[https://twitter.com/MBZ2arZNkm174sV/status/1292994041722724352?cxt=HHwWgICjmd_O0fEjAAAA Here] is the testing I am referring to, and one which corroborates the INT magic accuracy/Ongo testing from Lutes blog cited at the bottom references on both of those pages.
:*The red text is confirmed, and the black is theorized.
:*This testing lines up with the observable effective magic accuracy required for [[Ongo]], 1,365.
::*Since you are magic bursting, yes, the resistance rank changes from 30% to 40% for the burst window, and changes the accuracy required to 1,222 before counting the +100 from bursting.
:*Accuracy requirements jump steeply below the 30% tier. The table lacks it for Ongo, but I can make an educated guess based on the data there. Which means you need an effective magic accuracy of ~1,710 to land Burn on Ongo, given it's 25% tier to fire.
Now the testing doesn't go past the 20% tier, but it doesn't need to with how steep it gets. So when it comes to nuking, SC dmg, or enfeebling any iLvl foe around the lowest tiers, forget about it unless you throw the kitchen sink at the foe. Which generally isn't practical.

Fortunately, there is a lower magic accuracy requirement for the higher resistance tiers. Let's tie this together with a practical example using a level 139 [[Apex Draugar]]. Which has a resistance tiers of {{fire}} 130%, {{ice}} 70%, and {{dark}} 50%. Spells would cap hit rate at the following:
*{{fire}} 1,102
*{{ice}} 1,204
*{{dark}} 1,295
:*Due to the forced resist, if you casted sleep. Then you will either not land the spell or it will land for a reduced time.

What is cool about all of this this is that outside of anything that lowers your macc or boosts the magic evasion of the foe, you can better figure out or fine tune a set to cap hit rate.
{{:Magic Hit Rate|transcludesection=Table}}

<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
Practical implications of the write up:
*Gear enfeebles like sleep or break with a focus in magic accuracy and enfeebling skill.
*Magic Hit Rate caps at 95%, and a miss is simply a reist, which has various values.
*The value of macc from INT depends on dINT. It can be as large as +1 or as low as +0.
*Resistance Ranks aka Resistance Tiers dramatically impact magic accuracy.

===Affinity===

Affinity, also referred to as "Elemental Magic Attack Bonus", adds damage in a separate multiplier term from all standard forms of Magic Attack Bonus.

The base value for this term when no Affinity gear is present = 1.0.

For each stat on gear with Elemental affinity listed:
* Damage affinity +1: Affinity = 1.1
* Damage affinity +2: Affinity = 1.15
* Damage affinity +3: Affinity = 1.20
* Damage affinity +4: Affinity = 1.25
* Damage affinity +5: Affinity = 1.30
* Damage affinity +6: Affinity = 1.35

Elemental Magic Attack Bonus from gear is additive with this term. This statistic is found on gear such as [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring]].
* For example, equipping [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] (28%) and [[Archon Ring]] (5%) would make this term = 1.33 for {{dark}} damage.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] uniquely grants this stat for all elements. See its page for details.

Equipment usable by BLM that provides Elemental Magic Attack Bonus include:
* [[Ngqoqwanb]] provides 15% {{Ice}} elemental affinity.
* [[Ossa Grip]] provides 2% {{Ice}} elemental affinity when the user has [[Ice Spikes]] active.
* [[Marin Staff]] and [[Marin Staff +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Wind}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Kaikias' Cape]] provides 4% {{Wind}} elemental affinity.
* [[Quanpur Necklace]] provides 5% {{Earth}} elemental affinity.
* [[Weatherspoon Ring]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Light}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] provides 28% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Archon Ring]] provides 5% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] provides a range of 1-15% elemental affinity bonus for all elements dependent on distance from the target, for a maximum of 15% {{Elements}} elemental affinity if the target is within 1.93' from the player.

Reminder that spells like [[Comet]], [[Impact]], [[Aspir]], and [[Death]] are darkness elemental magic and ARE enhanced by equipment that boosts darkness elemental affinity!

===Cumulative Magic aka -ja Spells===

Cumulative Magic, usually just called "-ja" spells, are a very important part of playing BLM and raising the entire party's damage for a specific element.

Each time a cumulative magic spell is cast, a hidden debuff is placed on the monster which makes the monster take 5% additional damage from damage of that element for 60 seconds. Each successive cast of the same cumulative magic spell on the same target (from any player) will increase this elemental damage boost by an additional 5% of base damage; however, the window is not extended and will end 60 seconds after the first cumulative magic spell hit the monster even if another matching spell is cast, unless you use Empyrean legs (Extends the window all the way to 110 seconds duration if using [[Wicce Chausses +3]]).
*'''The total damage boost caps at 25%.'''

For example, assuming an initial casting damage of 1000 for [[Firaja]], casting [[Firaja]] repeatedly within 60 seconds will result in damage of 1000, 1050, 1100, etc. Other fire damage, such as [[Fire IV]] or [[Wildfire]], will also receive this damage boost (+5%, +10%, etc.) while in effect.

* [[Firaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Fire}} damage per cast
* [[Blizzaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Ice}} damage per cast
* [[Thundaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Thunder}} damage per cast
* [[Aeroja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Wind}} damage per cast
* [[Stoneja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Earth}} damage per cast
* [[Waterja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Water}} damage per cast
* [[Comet]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Dark}} damage per cast

Technically speaking, you only need to have your Empyrean legs equipped on the first cast of Cumulative Magic, but since the [[Wicce Chausses +3]] are BIS for both Free Nuking and Magic Bursting, you don't have to worry much about swapping.

===Death===

[[Death]] is a spell with very different mechanics that are worth knowing more about.

Death has a chance to instantly KO the enemy, though this does not affect NMs. If your enemy is not killed, the damage formula is:

* (Current MP×3 + Magic Damage)×(MAB/MDB)×(Affinity)×(Day/Weather)
** Note that the Magic Damage in the above formula is capped to 32

You need at least 1 MP to cast Death, and using it expends all of your current MP, even if you have Manafont or Manawell up.

Part of the trick to using Death properly is to build specific sets that ensure that you have the highest possible MP prior to use - this is why you'll see BLMs in specific Idle sets that maximize MP, and cast Death using a specific Precast set that retains as much MP as possible so that your MP isn't cut before you even cast the spell.

===Meteor===

Unfortunately, the coolest and most visually spectacular spell that Square-Enix added to the game has very limited use in endgame.

[[Meteor]] is unique in the fact that it's a non-elemental elemental magic spell - meaning that it uses your elemental magic skill to calculate its damage, but it is typeless and cannot be resisted. It does require you to use Elemental Seal before casting, so consider it on a 10-minute cooldown. It also takes eons to cast - consider building a precast set for this spell that crams in as much Quick Magic gear as you can.

* Unlike other nukes, elemental magic skill contributes directly to Meteor base damage, and the damage is independent of the enemy's INT.
** Meteor's base damage can be approximated as: (1+MAB/100)*floor(INT + Elemental Magic Skill/6)*3.5

Meteor is however worth discussing for at least one specific use-case: the Sortie D & H bosses.

If the fight with either of the Sortie D & H bosses go awry, they use a special ability called Vivisection - this is a full dispel on the party that also removes the NM's elemental weakness, meaning that all of your other spells do pitiful damage... with the exception of Meteor, as it's typeless damage! If the boss is low health and gets off Vivisection, consider using Meteor - it could save the run or at least dramatically save time for the fight to recover!

===Impact===

[[Impact]] is a very special spell that can only be cast if you're wearing one of two particular and difficult to acquire pieces of equipment - these cloaks must remain equipped both for the precast and midcast periods:

* [[Twilight Cloak]]
* [[Crepuscular Cloak]] - 119 version so has much higher MACC and stats

Impact is an ALL STATS DOWN debuff on the target that deals dark damage and lowers an enemy's Strength, Dexterity, Vitality, Agility, Intelligence, Mind, and Charisma.

* Each of the target's base stats is reduced by 20% of the value at the time of cast.
** Stat values are snapshotted on cast, so Impact will have the highest potency if applied before other reductions such as [[Elemental Debuff]]s, namely [[Burn]].

As you might imagine, this can be incredibly potent and can dramatically raise damage against certain NMs, in particular the Sortie C and G bosses.

Impact's maximum duration is 3 minutes, though if resisted the duration will be cut drastically. Since this is an elemental magic spell, a combination of elemental magic skill and magic accuracy is highly encouraged to ensure that this great spell lasts as long as possible against foes with high magic evasion. It's worth coordinating with a Red Mage in your party to have them cast Frazzle III on the enemy first before using Impact.

[[Hachirin-no-Obi]] is absolutely essential and it's highly recommended to have your Gearswap LUA automatically equip it while nuking when the weather conditions are met. It's a tremendous damage boost and should be paired with [[Klimaform]] either you cast as /SCH or cast by a SCH in your party.

Weather Damage bonuses are as follows:
*+10% bonus for the element matching the day
*+10% bonus for the element matching single weather
**+20% when both single weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+20% bonus for the element matching single weather and day
**+30% when both single weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+25% bonus for the element matching double weather
**+35% when both double weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+35% bonus for the element matching double weather and day
**+45% when both double weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*The element that is weak to the day/weather can suffer the same percentage as above as a penalty
**e.g. {{Fire}} can get -10% during {{Water}} weather.

*Spaekona's Gloves +3 work great here too if you don't want to bother making Relic hands purely for a niche purpose like Meteor.
*[[Agwu's Slops]] are very marginally barely better at R30, but you really can't go wrong.

*First real benchmark to aim for, assuming you can grind up in Ambuscade for a nice cape and pieces of armor.
*If you lack access to the Avatar Prime fights, you can use Witchstone instead
*Archmage's Gloves +1 (Relic Hands) are certainly better, but since you don't really need the +3 for endgame up to you if you want to invest to making these.

==Tips and Tricks==
===Sortie===

Black Mages are extremely valuable for Sortie endgame runs and on top of their usual role of Magic Bursting everything into smithereens, compiled below are a few tips for bringing the maximum utility to your team:

* Most endgame Sortie groups split up at the beginning to accomplish objectives and receive Shard Key Items to gain access to Sortie's bosses. In just about all normal Sortie magic runs, the BLM will be solely responsible for accomplishing the A objectives:
** After buffing, run south from the start, pop [[Mana Wall]], and round up 6 Acuex enemies. If you have a good Mana Wall set, you should be able to tank them with ease and lose minimal MP.
** Cast [[Firaja]], [[Firaga III]], and other AOE spells to get the 6 Acuex enemies down to 20% or so HP.
** Do not kill any enemies with AOE spells; instead, swap to single target Fire magic and kill them one by one.
** You should spawn chests containing [[Ra'Kaznar Shard A]] and [[Ra'Kaznar Metal A]], as well as a bonus blue chest that has a chance to drop an Old Case.
** If you are lucky enough to see the roaming NM Obdella, you'll easily be able to tank it in your Mana Wall set and Free Nuke it to death for another chest.
* After A objectives are done, many parties start the boss order with D. If so, keep going south and join the rest of the party at the D boss.
* For all bosses, it's wise to save your SCH a strategem and use [[Manifestation]] and cast [[Klimaform]] on the entire party. Since Klimaform's duration and potency are set, you're better off using it and allowing your SCH to have a better strat economy.
* Specific tips and tricks for each boss:
** D/H bosses change their elemental affinities, so you'll have to quickly cast the opposite element to proc the boss. However, if the boss uses Flaming Kick or Icy Grasp, you CAN and SHOULD land [[Burn]] on the boss to raise the rest of the party's damage. If you are unlucky enough to cause the boss to use Vivisection, you should [[Elemental Seal]] then [[Meteor]] to either finish off the boss or at least speed up the end of the fight.
** A/E bosses are pretty simple and you should just [[Burn]] and burst Fire or Earth spells (up to your party's preference)
** B/F bosses alternate between electric hands (use Earth magic) and wind hands (use Ice magic). Annoying if you lose stacks of your -ja magic when it alternates, just soldier through it.
** C/G bosses are susceptible to [[Impact]] if you have access to it, and it is extremely potent. Save [[Burn]] until after you land Impact as it'll overall lower more INT in that order. It's recommended to pop [[Elemental Seal]] if you have it up before using Impact on the G boss to ensure it lasts the maximum duration.

==General Information==

===Roles===
Black Mages are essential for end-game Sortie and extremely helpful for endgame content including Dynamis Divergence and Odyssey Sheol Gaol. BLM is primarily a damage dealer but can save parties in a pinch with a combination of its potent Breakga/Sleepga and Mana Wall to serve as a damage sponge while the rest of the party gets things under control. As a Black Mage, successfully magic bursting (and having the party aligned and able to create the requisite skillchains) is critically important to your damage output. Black mage is one of the most powerful damage dealers in the game when used correctly in the right situations with proper planning and execution.

Black Mage should be expected to:
*Deal elemental damage
**Switching between bursting or free nuking sets.
**Know the elemental weaknesses of the foe.
**Magic Burst, whether solo or coordinating with a group.
**Understanding the gist of magic accuracy and magic damage, detailed in a section below.

*Support
**[[Elemental Debuff]]s - especially [[Burn]] for increasing magic damage for the party - and [[Impact]] are powerful
**Competent curing is very helpful in a pinch, especially if you're running SCH or WHM as a subjob.
**Crowd control with Sleepga, Bind, Stun, and Breakga.
***/SCH provides the potential for Dispelga as well.

*Be frontline or backline
**BLM can and should WS to SC in various situations.
**BLM has Mana Wall, and can use it well.
**BLM has the ability to generate TP without meleeing via [[Occult Acumen]]
**BLM has access to AoE WSs and Spells.
**It is often not appropriate to run just because you have hate.

===Mana Wall===

[[Mana Wall]] should not be ignored - when geared properly, you can be a tanking god for 5 minutes and potentially allow your party to recover or get away safe. The way this ability works, damage against you is halved (after you master, it's reduced by 70%!) and then converted to MP damage instead; this is obviously stupidly powerful with your MP pool but it stacks with other Mana Wall gear and your -Damage Taken gear as well.

Mana Wall caps at 95% potency, meaning that incoming damage is reduced by 95% THEN converted to MP damage.
*By default Mana Wall's ability provides 50% reduction
*When mastered with JP, additional 20% reduction
*[[Taranus's Cape]] from Ambuscade provides another 10% reduction
*[[Wicce Sabots +3]] provides 25% reduction
*[[Archmage's Staff]] Path C provides 20% reduction - as you can see, the SU4 staff suffices as the additional Mana Wall reduction from the SU5 staff is wasted on the cap.

When using Mana Wall, you should ensure your set also has capped -Damage Taken as those stats are accounted for before the conversion to MP damage is calculated. It's also nice to use gear such as [[Archmage's Staff]] and [[Ethereal Earring]] to convert damage to MP, effectively lowering the "damage" even more so.

As an example borrowed from a [https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxi/comments/ztedor/kaumodaki_blm_su%E2%81%B5_staff/j1pzk8h/ very helpful reddit post]:

The Sortie G Boss, Triboulex, uses an ultimate move called '''"Setting the Stage"''' that deals 30,000 damage divided among all party members in range. With only the BLM in range, that 30,000 damage is reduced:
# -DT reduces that 30k damage by ~50% to '''15,000'''
# Mana Wall gear reduces that 15k damage by 95% to '''750''' damage
# That 750 damage is converted to '''-750 MP'''
# If using Archmage's Staff and Ethereal Earring, you receive 7% of that damage back, returning 52 MP so effectively from the entire attack you only took '''698 MP damage.'''

There are big negatives that prevent Mana Wall to be used to fully tank - namely you shed enmity extremely quickly with Mana Wall active, and it's especially tough to hold enemies unless you're super tanking (meaning no other party members are attacking enemies and pulling enmity). It's recommended to use specific +enmity sets for spells like [[Stun]] to pull away NMs and keep your party safe in times of emergency.

Status effects can also still affect you, and Mana Wall is a buff that CAN be dispelled.

|Group1 Merit1 Description=Shorten recast time by 20 seconds.
|Group1 Merit1 Level=0/5

{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=SCH
|Notes=Probably the most useful support job overall for Black Mage. Especially when you hit ML10, where you get [[Ebullience]] to boost damage for your bursts. [[Parsimony]] allows for greater MP management, [[Alacrity]] allows for more rapid -ja accumulation or recast spells such as Death or Comet for targets weak to our limited dark nukes, and [[Manifestation]] allows you to cast [[Klimaform]] to your party members and cast single target spells like Aspir as AOEs. 

Dark Arts reduces the cost of, casting time, and recast time of your nukes. It also will improve your C+ Enfeebling Skill to a B+. 
On the flip side Light Arts provides a healing skill you actually need. Meaning you stand a better chance at removing Doom with Cursna. More powerful cures aren't a terrible thing either. 

[[Sublimation]] provides you great MP recovery that could make or break killing a tough Sortie or Odyssey boss, arguably more useful to have a burst of MP accessible than having Refresh cast on you.

Red Mage as a support job feels like a middle ground between the offerings of White Mage and Scholar. However, Convert and Refresh are overshadowed by Dark Arts, Parsimony, and Sublimation of /SCH. Meaning you generally would sub this if you needed the remaining tools it offers over you other subs.

|Job=SAM
|Notes= /SAM is situationally very useful when you'll be spending a significant amount of time in melee, including for soloing. BLM can and should step up to weapon skill and with /SAM, you can pretty consistently self-SC and then magic burst a spell or two (especially recommended for MLing!). This is especially fun with AM3 on Laevateinn where you can three step your own Light or Dark SCs thanks to Hasso. 

While it may seem counter intuitive to cast with Hasso on given the 50% penalty to casting and recasting. You are only likely getting one burst off anyway without a quick magic proc, and [[Elemental Celerity]] helps you to counter the penalty with a desisted Hasso Fast Cast set leveraging it.

==Understanding Magic==
===Magic Accuracy===

*Outside of minor edits please use the discussion page for the guide to discuss any major edits or corrections.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
When it comes to being a BLM it is more an exercise in what you know about the foe and what you know about mechanics than just going boom-booms. It is easier for a DD to flub their way through than for you to. So let's go over the rigamarole so that we might all suck less.

While melee combat skills provide a corresponding boost to accuracy and attack at a rate of less than 1:1. Magic skill+ are a 1:1 skill to accuracy gain, but provide no extra attack.

To determine your magic accuracy total. Add up your elemental skill, magic accuracy skill, magic accuracy+, merits, gifts, food, buffs, debuffs, and then factor in dINT. Which is in the section below.
*A Mastered BLM with a Master Level of 0 will sit at 512 before any equipment or dINT.
:*Adding an Mpaca's Staff R0 would add 40 Magic Accuracy and 255 skill for 807.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
{{:Magic Hit Rate|transcludesection=Simplification}}}}
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
INT also plays a role in the magic accuracy of all nukes and INT based enfeebles. The magic accuracy bonus of INT depends on two things:
#dINT, the difference of INT between caster and foe.
#[[Magic Hit Rate]], which we covered, but factors in here.
{{:Intelligence|transcludesection=dINT Table}}

So, INT has a sweet spot from -10 to +10, but also a no-no spot, and that spot is 70+. Which by that age you don't expect much anyway.
*Ba-dum-tss

{{:Magic Hit Rate|transcludesection=dINT Example}}

{{:Intelligence|transcludesection=Foe INT}}

<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
The [[Resist]]ance of a foe is the final and most important piece of the puzzle. Not only for magic accuracy, but for damage. Though we will only cover the accuracy portion of that here, just like with INT.

|}

First, let me just summarize the resist page here in terms of accuracy. Foes have individual resistances to all elements, and these values are tiered out in the table above. A neutral resistance tier is 100%, where as weakness would be anything above that, and vice versa for resitance. 
Any foe with a resistance status of 50% forces a resist. Resists will be either a 1/2 (-50%), 1/4 (-75%), or 1/8th (-87.5%). So a Skeleton for example, has a {{dark}} dark resistance tier of 50%. This means any dark based spell which lands is not going to either be full damage or full duration.

Now, there are two things players can do to change the resistance, [[Rayke]] and [[Skillchain]]s.
*Rayke reduces the resistance tier to the corresponding element by a tier per rune.
:*E.g. a foe has a 30% resistance tier to an element, and three runes of that element are Rayked. The reistance tier is now 60% for the duration of Rayke, which is a big deal.
*Skillchains will temporarily lower the resistance tier of the damage of the skillchain by one tier for the window of it.
:*Magic bursting also adds a speculated +100 accuracy to a spell.
:*See the [[Resist#Modifying Resistance Rank]] for more explanation on how a SC damage type is determined.
::*It is the lowest resistance tier, but this can change depending on other steps involved.
This becomes very applicable with NMs, which can tend to have different resistance values from ordinary foes of the same family or even other NMs. For example, no tier 3 [[Odyssey]] NM in Sheol Gaol has a weakness above 30% unless their aura is on which then changes it to 100% iirc. With their neutral elements being 25% and their opposing element at the lowest 5% tier. 
This means if you fight a foe like Ongo then the magic defense down from [[Vidohunir]] will not land outside of when the aura is on. Same for defense down effect from a weapon skill against [[Xevioso]]. In fact to finish that thought, they will only really stand a chance to land against Mboze unless Rayke is used.

Further, as a BLM you can uniquely bypass some of the hindrance of Resist tiers while under [[Subtle Sorcery]]. It will bypass the forced resists from a tier 50% or less, but will not solve the next component of elemental resistance tiers.

Second, the remaining factor to resistance to account for is the magic accuracy requirements imposed by resistance tiers. Which is not actually on the wiki currently. Not because I am some rumored gate keeper, but because neither I nor anyone else have gotten around to it, and it involves deciphering Japanese testing through google Translate. Not the easiest for sure, but what is clear is that as resistance tiers go lower and resistance to an element goes higher. It imposes a greater magic accuracy requirement to cap hit rate.
*[https://twitter.com/MBZ2arZNkm174sV/status/1292994041722724352?cxt=HHwWgICjmd_O0fEjAAAA Here] is the testing I am referring to, and one which corroborates the INT magic accuracy/Ongo testing from Lutes blog cited at the bottom references on both of those pages.
:*The red text is confirmed, and the black is theorized.
:*This testing lines up with the observable effective magic accuracy required for [[Ongo]], 1,365.
::*Since you are magic bursting, yes, the resistance rank changes from 30% to 40% for the burst window, and changes the accuracy required to 1,222 before counting the +100 from bursting.
:*Accuracy requirements jump steeply below the 30% tier. The table lacks it for Ongo, but I can make an educated guess based on the data there. Which means you need an effective magic accuracy of ~1,710 to land Burn on Ongo, given it's 25% tier to fire.
Now the testing doesn't go past the 20% tier, but it doesn't need to with how steep it gets. So when it comes to nuking, SC dmg, or enfeebling any iLvl foe around the lowest tiers, forget about it unless you throw the kitchen sink at the foe. Which generally isn't practical.

Fortunately, there is a lower magic accuracy requirement for the higher resistance tiers. Let's tie this together with a practical example using a level 139 [[Apex Draugar]]. Which has a resistance tiers of {{fire}} 130%, {{ice}} 70%, and {{dark}} 50%. Spells would cap hit rate at the following:
*{{fire}} 1,102
*{{ice}} 1,204
*{{dark}} 1,295
:*Due to the forced resist, if you casted sleep. Then you will either not land the spell or it will land for a reduced time.

What is cool about all of this this is that outside of anything that lowers your macc or boosts the magic evasion of the foe, you can better figure out or fine tune a set to cap hit rate.
{{:Magic Hit Rate|transcludesection=Table}}

<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
Practical implications of the write up:
*Gear enfeebles like sleep or break with a focus in magic accuracy and enfeebling skill.
*Magic Hit Rate caps at 95%, and a miss is simply a reist, which has various values.
*The value of macc from INT depends on dINT. It can be as large as +1 or as low as +0.
*Resistance Ranks aka Resistance Tiers dramatically impact magic accuracy.

===Affinity===

Affinity, also referred to as "Elemental Magic Attack Bonus", adds damage in a separate multiplier term from all standard forms of Magic Attack Bonus.

The base value for this term when no Affinity gear is present = 1.0.

For each stat on gear with Elemental affinity listed:
* Damage affinity +1: Affinity = 1.1
* Damage affinity +2: Affinity = 1.15
* Damage affinity +3: Affinity = 1.20
* Damage affinity +4: Affinity = 1.25
* Damage affinity +5: Affinity = 1.30
* Damage affinity +6: Affinity = 1.35

Elemental Magic Attack Bonus from gear is additive with this term. This statistic is found on gear such as [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring]].
* For example, equipping [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] (28%) and [[Archon Ring]] (5%) would make this term = 1.33 for {{dark}} damage.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] uniquely grants this stat for all elements. See its page for details.

Equipment usable by BLM that provides Elemental Magic Attack Bonus include:
* [[Ngqoqwanb]] provides 15% {{Ice}} elemental affinity.
* [[Ossa Grip]] provides 2% {{Ice}} elemental affinity when the user has [[Ice Spikes]] active.
* [[Marin Staff]] and [[Marin Staff +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Wind}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Kaikias' Cape]] provides 4% {{Wind}} elemental affinity.
* [[Quanpur Necklace]] provides 5% {{Earth}} elemental affinity.
* [[Weatherspoon Ring]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Light}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] provides 28% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Archon Ring]] provides 5% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] provides a range of 1-15% elemental affinity bonus for all elements dependent on distance from the target, for a maximum of 15% {{Elements}} elemental affinity if the target is within 1.93' from the player.

Reminder that spells like [[Comet]], [[Impact]], [[Aspir]], and [[Death]] are darkness elemental magic and ARE enhanced by equipment that boosts darkness elemental affinity!

===Cumulative Magic aka -ja Spells===

Cumulative Magic, usually just called "-ja" spells, are a very important part of playing BLM and raising the entire party's damage for a specific element.

Each time a cumulative magic spell is cast, a hidden debuff is placed on the monster which makes the monster take 5% additional damage from damage of that element for 60 seconds. Each successive cast of the same cumulative magic spell on the same target (from any player) will increase this elemental damage boost by an additional 5% of base damage; however, the window is not extended and will end 60 seconds after the first cumulative magic spell hit the monster even if another matching spell is cast, unless you use Empyrean legs (Extends the window all the way to 110 seconds duration if using [[Wicce Chausses +3]]).
*'''The total damage boost caps at 25%.'''

For example, assuming an initial casting damage of 1000 for [[Firaja]], casting [[Firaja]] repeatedly within 60 seconds will result in damage of 1000, 1050, 1100, etc. Other fire damage, such as [[Fire IV]] or [[Wildfire]], will also receive this damage boost (+5%, +10%, etc.) while in effect.

* [[Firaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Fire}} damage per cast
* [[Blizzaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Ice}} damage per cast
* [[Thundaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Thunder}} damage per cast
* [[Aeroja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Wind}} damage per cast
* [[Stoneja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Earth}} damage per cast
* [[Waterja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Water}} damage per cast
* [[Comet]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Dark}} damage per cast

Technically speaking, you only need to have your Empyrean legs equipped on the first cast of Cumulative Magic, but since the [[Wicce Chausses +3]] are BIS for both Free Nuking and Magic Bursting, you don't have to worry much about swapping.

===Death===

[[Death]] is a spell with very different mechanics that are worth knowing more about.

Death has a chance to instantly KO the enemy, though this does not affect NMs. If your enemy is not killed, the damage formula is:

* (Current MP×3 + Magic Damage)×(MAB/MDB)×(Affinity)×(Day/Weather)
** Note that the Magic Damage in the above formula is capped to 32

You need at least 1 MP to cast Death, and using it expends all of your current MP, even if you have Manafont or Manawell up.

Part of the trick to using Death properly is to build specific sets that ensure that you have the highest possible MP prior to use - this is why you'll see BLMs in specific Idle sets that maximize MP, and cast Death using a specific Precast set that retains as much MP as possible so that your MP isn't cut before you even cast the spell.

===Meteor===

Unfortunately, the coolest and most visually spectacular spell that Square-Enix added to the game has very limited use in endgame.

[[Meteor]] is unique in the fact that it's a non-elemental elemental magic spell - meaning that it uses your elemental magic skill to calculate its damage, but it is typeless and cannot be resisted. It does require you to use Elemental Seal before casting, so consider it on a 10-minute cooldown. It also takes eons to cast - consider building a precast set for this spell that crams in as much Quick Magic gear as you can.

* Unlike other nukes, elemental magic skill contributes directly to Meteor base damage, and the damage is independent of the enemy's INT.
** Meteor's base damage can be approximated as: (1+MAB/100)*floor(INT + Elemental Magic Skill/6)*3.5

Meteor is however worth discussing for at least one specific use-case: the Sortie D & H bosses.

If the fight with either of the Sortie D & H bosses go awry, they use a special ability called Vivisection - this is a full dispel on the party that also removes the NM's elemental weakness, meaning that all of your other spells do pitiful damage... with the exception of Meteor, as it's typeless damage! If the boss is low health and gets off Vivisection, consider using Meteor - it could save the run or at least dramatically save time for the fight to recover!

===Impact===

[[Impact]] is a very special spell that can only be cast if you're wearing one of two particular and difficult to acquire pieces of equipment - these cloaks must remain equipped both for the precast and midcast periods:

* [[Twilight Cloak]]
* [[Crepuscular Cloak]] - 119 version so has much higher MACC and stats

Impact is an ALL STATS DOWN debuff on the target that deals dark damage and lowers an enemy's Strength, Dexterity, Vitality, Agility, Intelligence, Mind, and Charisma.

* Each of the target's base stats is reduced by 20% of the value at the time of cast.
** Stat values are snapshotted on cast, so Impact will have the highest potency if applied before other reductions such as [[Elemental Debuff]]s, namely [[Burn]].

As you might imagine, this can be incredibly potent and can dramatically raise damage against certain NMs, in particular the Sortie C and G bosses.

Impact's maximum duration is 3 minutes, though if resisted the duration will be cut drastically. Since this is an elemental magic spell, a combination of elemental magic skill and magic accuracy is highly encouraged to ensure that this great spell lasts as long as possible against foes with high magic evasion. It's worth coordinating with a Red Mage in your party to have them cast Frazzle III on the enemy first before using Impact.

'''Note that ALL of the Empyrean Armor +3 is BIS for Free Nuking not only because of the stats on them but also because of the Empyrean Armor Proc wherein when Conserve MP is proc'd, extra damage is calculated based on double of the MP conserved.'''

===Other Essential BLM Gear===
====Hachirin-no-Obi====
[[Hachirin-no-Obi]] is absolutely essential and it's highly recommended to have your Gearswap LUA automatically equip it while nuking when the weather conditions are met. It's a tremendous damage boost and should be paired with [[Klimaform]] either you cast as /SCH or cast by a SCH in your party.

Weather Damage bonuses are as follows:
*+10% bonus for the element matching the day
*+10% bonus for the element matching single weather
**+20% when both single weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+20% bonus for the element matching single weather and day
**+30% when both single weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+25% bonus for the element matching double weather
**+35% when both double weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+35% bonus for the element matching double weather and day
**+45% when both double weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*The element that is weak to the day/weather can suffer the same percentage as above as a penalty
**e.g. {{Fire}} can get -10% during {{Water}} weather.

==Gearsets==

'''WIP to create new sets and recommendations for subjobs, Ambuscade capes, and other sets. Edits welcome but should not be unilaterally deleted without replacements in place.'''

===Precast Sets===
'''Note: BLMs receive the Elemental Celerity trait, which provides 30% faster casting (38% when mastered) for specifically elemental magic. However, this does NOT grant faster recast after you're done casting this spell. If you'd like to take advantage of this, you can only have 42 Fast Cast in your Elemental Magic Precast set and fill in the other slots with -DT and Magic Evasion gear.'''

*Requires further testing, but the community has theorized that elemental magic skill disproportionately affects the effectiveness of Impact. Aim for maximum magic accuracy and elemental magic skill.

*Impact is dark elemental so can be hard to land on certain mobs.

==Tips and Tricks==
===Sortie===

Black Mages are extremely valuable for Sortie endgame runs and on top of their usual role of Magic Bursting everything into smithereens, compiled below are a few tips for bringing the maximum utility to your team:

* Most endgame Sortie groups split up at the beginning to accomplish objectives and receive Shard Key Items to gain access to Sortie's bosses. In just about all normal Sortie magic runs, the BLM will be solely responsible for accomplishing the A objectives:
** After buffing, run south from the start, pop [[Mana Wall]], and round up 6 Acuex enemies. If you have a good Mana Wall set, you should be able to tank them with ease and lose minimal MP.
** Cast [[Firaja]], [[Firaga III]], and other AOE spells to get the 6 Acuex enemies down to 20% or so HP.
** Do not kill any enemies with AOE spells; instead, swap to single target Fire magic and kill them one by one.
** You should spawn chests containing [[Ra'Kaznar Shard A]] and [[Ra'Kaznar Metal A]], as well as a bonus blue chest that has a chance to drop an Old Case.
** If you are lucky enough to see the roaming NM Obdella, you'll easily be able to tank it in your Mana Wall set and Free Nuke it to death for another chest.
* After A objectives are done, many parties start the boss order with D. If so, keep going south and join the rest of the party at the D boss.
* For all bosses, it's wise to save your SCH a strategem and use [[Manifestation]] and cast [[Klimaform]] on the entire party. Since Klimaform's duration and potency are set, you're better off using it and allowing your SCH to have a better strat economy.
* Specific tips and tricks for each boss:
** D/H bosses change their elemental affinities, so you'll have to quickly cast the opposite element to proc the boss. However, if the boss uses Flaming Kick or Icy Grasp, you CAN and SHOULD land [[Burn]] on the boss to raise the rest of the party's damage. If you are unlucky enough to cause the boss to use Vivisection, you should [[Elemental Seal]] then [[Meteor]] to either finish off the boss or at least speed up the end of the fight.
** A/E bosses are pretty simple and you should just [[Burn]] and burst Fire or Earth spells (up to your party's preference)
** B/F bosses alternate between electric hands (use Earth magic) and wind hands (use Ice magic). Annoying if you lose stacks of your -ja magic when it alternates, just soldier through it.
** C/G bosses are susceptible to [[Impact]] if you have access to it, and it is extremely potent. Save [[Burn]] until after you land Impact as it'll overall lower more INT in that order. It's recommended to pop [[Elemental Seal]] if you have it up before using Impact on the G boss to ensure it lasts the maximum duration.

==General Information==

===Roles===
Black Mages are essential for end-game Sortie and extremely helpful for endgame content including Dynamis Divergence and Odyssey Sheol Gaol. BLM is primarily a damage dealer but can save parties in a pinch with a combination of its potent Breakga/Sleepga and Mana Wall to serve as a damage sponge while the rest of the party gets things under control. As a Black Mage, successfully magic bursting (and having the party aligned and able to create the requisite skillchains) is critically important to your damage output. Black mage is one of the most powerful damage dealers in the game when used correctly in the right situations with proper planning and execution.

Black Mage should be expected to:
*Deal elemental damage
**Switching between bursting or free nuking sets.
**Know the elemental weaknesses of the foe.
**Magic Burst, whether solo or coordinating with a group.
**Understanding the gist of magic accuracy and magic damage, detailed in a section below.

*Support
**[[Elemental Debuff]]s - especially [[Burn]] for increasing magic damage for the party - and [[Impact]] are powerful
**Competent curing is very helpful in a pinch, especially if you're running SCH or WHM as a subjob.
**Crowd control with Sleepga, Bind, Stun, and Breakga.
***/SCH provides the potential for Dispelga as well.

*Be frontline or backline
**BLM can and should WS to SC in various situations.
**BLM has Mana Wall, and can use it well.
**BLM has the ability to generate TP without meleeing via [[Occult Acumen]]
**BLM has access to AoE WSs and Spells.
**It is often not appropriate to run just because you have hate.

===Mana Wall===

[[Mana Wall]] should not be ignored - when geared properly, you can be a tanking god for 5 minutes and potentially allow your party to recover or get away safe. The way this ability works, damage against you is halved (after you master, it's reduced by 70%!) and then converted to MP damage instead; this is obviously stupidly powerful with your MP pool but it stacks with other Mana Wall gear and your -Damage Taken gear as well.

Mana Wall caps at 95% potency, meaning that incoming damage is reduced by 95% THEN converted to MP damage.
*By default Mana Wall's ability provides 50% reduction
*When mastered with JP, additional 20% reduction
*[[Taranus's Cape]] from Ambuscade provides another 10% reduction
*[[Wicce Sabots +3]] provides 25% reduction
*[[Archmage's Staff]] Path C provides 20% reduction - as you can see, the SU4 staff suffices as the additional Mana Wall reduction from the SU5 staff is wasted on the cap.

When using Mana Wall, you should ensure your set also has capped -Damage Taken as those stats are accounted for before the conversion to MP damage is calculated. It's also nice to use gear such as [[Archmage's Staff]] and [[Ethereal Earring]] to convert damage to MP, effectively lowering the "damage" even more so.

As an example borrowed from a [https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxi/comments/ztedor/kaumodaki_blm_su%E2%81%B5_staff/j1pzk8h/ very helpful reddit post]:

The Sortie G Boss, Triboulex, uses an ultimate move called '''"Setting the Stage"''' that deals 30,000 damage divided among all party members in range. With only the BLM in range, that 30,000 damage is reduced:
# -DT reduces that 30k damage by ~50% to '''15,000'''
# Mana Wall gear reduces that 15k damage by 95% to '''750''' damage
# That 750 damage is converted to '''-750 MP'''
# If using Archmage's Staff and Ethereal Earring, you receive 7% of that damage back, returning 52 MP so effectively from the entire attack you only took '''698 MP damage.'''

There are big negatives that prevent Mana Wall to be used to fully tank - namely you shed enmity extremely quickly with Mana Wall active, and it's especially tough to hold enemies unless you're super tanking (meaning no other party members are attacking enemies and pulling enmity). It's recommended to use specific +enmity sets for spells like [[Stun]] to pull away NMs and keep your party safe in times of emergency.

Status effects can also still affect you, and Mana Wall is a buff that CAN be dispelled.

==Support Jobs==
{{Guide Support Jobs Table
|Border Color=#51414F
|Support Jobs=
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=SCH
|Notes=Probably the most useful support job overall for Black Mage. Especially when you hit ML10, where you get [[Ebullience]] to boost damage for your bursts. [[Parsimony]] allows for greater MP management, [[Alacrity]] allows for more rapid -ja accumulation or recast spells such as Death or Comet for targets weak to our limited dark nukes, and [[Manifestation]] allows you to cast [[Klimaform]] to your party members and cast single target spells like Aspir as AOEs. 

Dark Arts reduces the cost of, casting time, and recast time of your nukes. It also will improve your C+ Enfeebling Skill to a B+. 
On the flip side Light Arts provides a healing skill you actually need. Meaning you stand a better chance at removing Doom with Cursna. More powerful cures aren't a terrible thing either. 

[[Sublimation]] provides you great MP recovery that could make or break killing a tough Sortie or Odyssey boss, arguably more useful to have a burst of MP accessible than having Refresh cast on you.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=WHM
|Notes=An important sub for not only the White Mage line of spells, especially the eventual Curaga III at ML10, but for Weapon Skills. As this is generally the preferred sub for gaining access to [[Earth Crusher]] and [[Cataclysm]]. 

Otherwise, /WHM gives access to the same enfeebles as /RDM, sans Gravity with more party support. In the form of Barspells, Cuaraga, Haste, -na spells, etc.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=RDM
|Notes=A handy support job for Haste, Flurry, Refresh, Barspells, Silence, Paralyze, Slow, Gravity, Convert, and extra Fast Cast (and by extension extra spell recast). 

Red Mage as a support job feels like a middle ground between the offerings of White Mage and Scholar. However, Convert and Refresh are overshadowed by Dark Arts, Parsimony, and Sublimation of /SCH. Meaning you generally would sub this if you needed the remaining tools it offers over you other subs.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=SAM
|Notes= /SAM is situationally very useful when you'll be spending a significant amount of time in melee, including for soloing. BLM can and should step up to weapon skill and with /SAM, you can pretty consistently self-SC and then magic burst a spell or two (especially recommended for MLing!). This is especially fun with AM3 on Laevateinn where you can three step your own Light or Dark SCs thanks to Hasso. 

While it may seem counter intuitive to cast with Hasso on given the 50% penalty to casting and recasting. You are only likely getting one burst off anyway without a quick magic proc, and [[Elemental Celerity]] helps you to counter the penalty with a desisted Hasso Fast Cast set leveraging it.

==Understanding Magic==
===Magic Accuracy===
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
*Outside of minor edits please use the discussion page for the guide to discuss any major edits or corrections.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
When it comes to being a BLM it is more an exercise in what you know about the foe and what you know about mechanics than just going boom-booms. It is easier for a DD to flub their way through than for you to. So let's go over the rigamarole so that we might all suck less.

While melee combat skills provide a corresponding boost to accuracy and attack at a rate of less than 1:1. Magic skill+ are a 1:1 skill to accuracy gain, but provide no extra attack.

To determine your magic accuracy total. Add up your elemental skill, magic accuracy skill, magic accuracy+, merits, gifts, food, buffs, debuffs, and then factor in dINT. Which is in the section below.
*A Mastered BLM with a Master Level of 0 will sit at 512 before any equipment or dINT.
:*Adding an Mpaca's Staff R0 would add 40 Magic Accuracy and 255 skill for 807.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
{{:Magic Hit Rate|transcludesection=Simplification}}}}
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
INT also plays a role in the magic accuracy of all nukes and INT based enfeebles. The magic accuracy bonus of INT depends on two things:
#dINT, the difference of INT between caster and foe.
#[[Magic Hit Rate]], which we covered, but factors in here.
{{:Intelligence|transcludesection=dINT Table}}

So, INT has a sweet spot from -10 to +10, but also a no-no spot, and that spot is 70+. Which by that age you don't expect much anyway.
*Ba-dum-tss

{{:Magic Hit Rate|transcludesection=dINT Example}}

{{:Intelligence|transcludesection=Foe INT}}

<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
The [[Resist]]ance of a foe is the final and most important piece of the puzzle. Not only for magic accuracy, but for damage. Though we will only cover the accuracy portion of that here, just like with INT.

{| style="border: 2px solid #3C6A95; text-align: center; margin: 3px; width: 100%; max-width: 788px;" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"

|}

First, let me just summarize the resist page here in terms of accuracy. Foes have individual resistances to all elements, and these values are tiered out in the table above. A neutral resistance tier is 100%, where as weakness would be anything above that, and vice versa for resitance. 
Any foe with a resistance status of 50% forces a resist. Resists will be either a 1/2 (-50%), 1/4 (-75%), or 1/8th (-87.5%). So a Skeleton for example, has a {{dark}} dark resistance tier of 50%. This means any dark based spell which lands is not going to either be full damage or full duration.

Now, there are two things players can do to change the resistance, [[Rayke]] and [[Skillchain]]s.
*Rayke reduces the resistance tier to the corresponding element by a tier per rune.
:*E.g. a foe has a 30% resistance tier to an element, and three runes of that element are Rayked. The reistance tier is now 60% for the duration of Rayke, which is a big deal.
*Skillchains will temporarily lower the resistance tier of the damage of the skillchain by one tier for the window of it.
:*Magic bursting also adds a speculated +100 accuracy to a spell.
:*See the [[Resist#Modifying Resistance Rank]] for more explanation on how a SC damage type is determined.
::*It is the lowest resistance tier, but this can change depending on other steps involved.
This becomes very applicable with NMs, which can tend to have different resistance values from ordinary foes of the same family or even other NMs. For example, no tier 3 [[Odyssey]] NM in Sheol Gaol has a weakness above 30% unless their aura is on which then changes it to 100% iirc. With their neutral elements being 25% and their opposing element at the lowest 5% tier. 
This means if you fight a foe like Ongo then the magic defense down from [[Vidohunir]] will not land outside of when the aura is on. Same for defense down effect from a weapon skill against [[Xevioso]]. In fact to finish that thought, they will only really stand a chance to land against Mboze unless Rayke is used.

Further, as a BLM you can uniquely bypass some of the hindrance of Resist tiers while under [[Subtle Sorcery]]. It will bypass the forced resists from a tier 50% or less, but will not solve the next component of elemental resistance tiers.

Second, the remaining factor to resistance to account for is the magic accuracy requirements imposed by resistance tiers. Which is not actually on the wiki currently. Not because I am some rumored gate keeper, but because neither I nor anyone else have gotten around to it, and it involves deciphering Japanese testing through google Translate. Not the easiest for sure, but what is clear is that as resistance tiers go lower and resistance to an element goes higher. It imposes a greater magic accuracy requirement to cap hit rate.
*[https://twitter.com/MBZ2arZNkm174sV/status/1292994041722724352?cxt=HHwWgICjmd_O0fEjAAAA Here] is the testing I am referring to, and one which corroborates the INT magic accuracy/Ongo testing from Lutes blog cited at the bottom references on both of those pages.
:*The red text is confirmed, and the black is theorized.
:*This testing lines up with the observable effective magic accuracy required for [[Ongo]], 1,365.
::*Since you are magic bursting, yes, the resistance rank changes from 30% to 40% for the burst window, and changes the accuracy required to 1,222 before counting the +100 from bursting.
:*Accuracy requirements jump steeply below the 30% tier. The table lacks it for Ongo, but I can make an educated guess based on the data there. Which means you need an effective magic accuracy of ~1,710 to land Burn on Ongo, given it's 25% tier to fire.
Now the testing doesn't go past the 20% tier, but it doesn't need to with how steep it gets. So when it comes to nuking, SC dmg, or enfeebling any iLvl foe around the lowest tiers, forget about it unless you throw the kitchen sink at the foe. Which generally isn't practical.

Fortunately, there is a lower magic accuracy requirement for the higher resistance tiers. Let's tie this together with a practical example using a level 139 [[Apex Draugar]]. Which has a resistance tiers of {{fire}} 130%, {{ice}} 70%, and {{dark}} 50%. Spells would cap hit rate at the following:
*{{fire}} 1,102
*{{ice}} 1,204
*{{dark}} 1,295
:*Due to the forced resist, if you casted sleep. Then you will either not land the spell or it will land for a reduced time.

What is cool about all of this this is that outside of anything that lowers your macc or boosts the magic evasion of the foe, you can better figure out or fine tune a set to cap hit rate.
{{:Magic Hit Rate|transcludesection=Table}}

<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
Practical implications of the write up:
*Gear enfeebles like sleep or break with a focus in magic accuracy and enfeebling skill.
*Magic Hit Rate caps at 95%, and a miss is simply a reist, which has various values.
*The value of macc from INT depends on dINT. It can be as large as +1 or as low as +0.
*Resistance Ranks aka Resistance Tiers dramatically impact magic accuracy.

===Affinity===

Affinity, also referred to as "Elemental Magic Attack Bonus", adds damage in a separate multiplier term from all standard forms of Magic Attack Bonus.

The base value for this term when no Affinity gear is present = 1.0.

For each stat on gear with Elemental affinity listed:
* Damage affinity +1: Affinity = 1.1
* Damage affinity +2: Affinity = 1.15
* Damage affinity +3: Affinity = 1.20
* Damage affinity +4: Affinity = 1.25
* Damage affinity +5: Affinity = 1.30
* Damage affinity +6: Affinity = 1.35

Elemental Magic Attack Bonus from gear is additive with this term. This statistic is found on gear such as [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring]].
* For example, equipping [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] (28%) and [[Archon Ring]] (5%) would make this term = 1.33 for {{dark}} damage.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] uniquely grants this stat for all elements. See its page for details.

Equipment usable by BLM that provides Elemental Magic Attack Bonus include:
* [[Ngqoqwanb]] provides 15% {{Ice}} elemental affinity.
* [[Ossa Grip]] provides 2% {{Ice}} elemental affinity when the user has [[Ice Spikes]] active.
* [[Marin Staff]] and [[Marin Staff +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Wind}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Kaikias' Cape]] provides 4% {{Wind}} elemental affinity.
* [[Quanpur Necklace]] provides 5% {{Earth}} elemental affinity.
* [[Weatherspoon Ring]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Light}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] provides 28% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Archon Ring]] provides 5% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] provides a range of 1-15% elemental affinity bonus for all elements dependent on distance from the target, for a maximum of 15% {{Elements}} elemental affinity if the target is within 1.93' from the player.

Reminder that spells like [[Comet]], [[Impact]], [[Aspir]], and [[Death]] are darkness elemental magic and ARE enhanced by equipment that boosts darkness elemental affinity!

===Cumulative Magic aka -ja Spells===

Cumulative Magic, usually just called "-ja" spells, are a very important part of playing BLM and raising the entire party's damage for a specific element.

Each time a cumulative magic spell is cast, a hidden debuff is placed on the monster which makes the monster take 5% additional damage from damage of that element for 60 seconds. Each successive cast of the same cumulative magic spell on the same target (from any player) will increase this elemental damage boost by an additional 5% of base damage; however, the window is not extended and will end 60 seconds after the first cumulative magic spell hit the monster even if another matching spell is cast, unless you use Empyrean legs (Extends the window all the way to 110 seconds duration if using [[Wicce Chausses +3]]).
*'''The total damage boost caps at 25%.'''

For example, assuming an initial casting damage of 1000 for [[Firaja]], casting [[Firaja]] repeatedly within 60 seconds will result in damage of 1000, 1050, 1100, etc. Other fire damage, such as [[Fire IV]] or [[Wildfire]], will also receive this damage boost (+5%, +10%, etc.) while in effect.

* [[Firaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Fire}} damage per cast
* [[Blizzaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Ice}} damage per cast
* [[Thundaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Thunder}} damage per cast
* [[Aeroja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Wind}} damage per cast
* [[Stoneja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Earth}} damage per cast
* [[Waterja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Water}} damage per cast
* [[Comet]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Dark}} damage per cast

Technically speaking, you only need to have your Empyrean legs equipped on the first cast of Cumulative Magic, but since the [[Wicce Chausses +3]] are BIS for both Free Nuking and Magic Bursting, you don't have to worry much about swapping.

===Death===

[[Death]] is a spell with very different mechanics that are worth knowing more about.

Death has a chance to instantly KO the enemy, though this does not affect NMs. If your enemy is not killed, the damage formula is:

* (Current MP×3 + Magic Damage)×(MAB/MDB)×(Affinity)×(Day/Weather)
** Note that the Magic Damage in the above formula is capped to 32

You need at least 1 MP to cast Death, and using it expends all of your current MP, even if you have Manafont or Manawell up.

Part of the trick to using Death properly is to build specific sets that ensure that you have the highest possible MP prior to use - this is why you'll see BLMs in specific Idle sets that maximize MP, and cast Death using a specific Precast set that retains as much MP as possible so that your MP isn't cut before you even cast the spell.

===Meteor===

Unfortunately, the coolest and most visually spectacular spell that Square-Enix added to the game has very limited use in endgame.

[[Meteor]] is unique in the fact that it's a non-elemental elemental magic spell - meaning that it uses your elemental magic skill to calculate its damage, but it is typeless and cannot be resisted. It does require you to use Elemental Seal before casting, so consider it on a 10-minute cooldown. It also takes eons to cast - consider building a precast set for this spell that crams in as much Quick Magic gear as you can.

* Unlike other nukes, elemental magic skill contributes directly to Meteor base damage, and the damage is independent of the enemy's INT.
** Meteor's base damage can be approximated as: (1+MAB/100)*floor(INT + Elemental Magic Skill/6)*3.5

Meteor is however worth discussing for at least one specific use-case: the Sortie D & H bosses.

If the fight with either of the Sortie D & H bosses go awry, they use a special ability called Vivisection - this is a full dispel on the party that also removes the NM's elemental weakness, meaning that all of your other spells do pitiful damage... with the exception of Meteor, as it's typeless damage! If the boss is low health and gets off Vivisection, consider using Meteor - it could save the run or at least dramatically save time for the fight to recover!

===Impact===

[[Impact]] is a very special spell that can only be cast if you're wearing one of two particular and difficult to acquire pieces of equipment - these cloaks must remain equipped both for the precast and midcast periods:

* [[Twilight Cloak]]
* [[Crepuscular Cloak]] - 119 version so has much higher MACC and stats

Impact is an ALL STATS DOWN debuff on the target that deals dark damage and lowers an enemy's Strength, Dexterity, Vitality, Agility, Intelligence, Mind, and Charisma.

* Each of the target's base stats is reduced by 20% of the value at the time of cast.
** Stat values are snapshotted on cast, so Impact will have the highest potency if applied before other reductions such as [[Elemental Debuff]]s, namely [[Burn]].

As you might imagine, this can be incredibly potent and can dramatically raise damage against certain NMs, in particular the Sortie C and G bosses.

Impact's maximum duration is 3 minutes, though if resisted the duration will be cut drastically. Since this is an elemental magic spell, a combination of elemental magic skill and magic accuracy is highly encouraged to ensure that this great spell lasts as long as possible against foes with high magic evasion. It's worth coordinating with a Red Mage in your party to have them cast Frazzle III on the enemy first before using Impact.

[[Hachirin-no-Obi]] is absolutely essential and it's highly recommended to have your Gearswap LUA automatically equip it while nuking when the weather conditions are met. It's a tremendous damage boost and should be paired with [[Klimaform]] either you cast as /SCH or cast by a SCH in your party.

Weather Damage bonuses are as follows:
*+10% bonus for the element matching the day
*+10% bonus for the element matching single weather
**+20% when both single weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+20% bonus for the element matching single weather and day
**+30% when both single weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+25% bonus for the element matching double weather
**+35% when both double weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+35% bonus for the element matching double weather and day
**+45% when both double weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*The element that is weak to the day/weather can suffer the same percentage as above as a penalty
**e.g. {{Fire}} can get -10% during {{Water}} weather.

*Many people don't know that Comet is a -ja spell, or "Cumulative Magic", where each use will increase darkness elemental magic damage against its target.
*This has particularly great use in Sortie basement NMs for darkness-weak NMs and to increase the damage from your COR's Leaden Salutes.

*[[Agwu's Slops]] are very marginally barely better at R30, but you really can't go wrong.

==Tips and Tricks==
===Sortie===

Black Mages are extremely valuable for Sortie endgame runs and on top of their usual role of Magic Bursting everything into smithereens, compiled below are a few tips for bringing the maximum utility to your team:

* Most endgame Sortie groups split up at the beginning to accomplish objectives and receive Shard Key Items to gain access to Sortie's bosses. In just about all normal Sortie magic runs, the BLM will be solely responsible for accomplishing the A objectives:
** After buffing, run south from the start, pop [[Mana Wall]], and round up 6 Acuex enemies. If you have a good Mana Wall set, you should be able to tank them with ease and lose minimal MP.
** Cast [[Firaja]], [[Firaga III]], and other AOE spells to get the 6 Acuex enemies down to 20% or so HP.
** Do not kill any enemies with AOE spells; instead, swap to single target Fire magic and kill them one by one.
** You should spawn chests containing [[Ra'Kaznar Shard A]] and [[Ra'Kaznar Metal A]], as well as a bonus blue chest that has a chance to drop an Old Case.
** If you are lucky enough to see the roaming NM Obdella, you'll easily be able to tank it in your Mana Wall set and Free Nuke it to death for another chest.
* After A objectives are done, many parties start the boss order with D. If so, keep going south and join the rest of the party at the D boss.
* For all bosses, it's wise to save your SCH a strategem and use [[Manifestation]] and cast [[Klimaform]] on the entire party. Since Klimaform's duration and potency are set, you're better off using it and allowing your SCH to have a better strat economy.
* Specific tips and tricks for each boss:
** D/H bosses change their elemental affinities, so you'll have to quickly cast the opposite element to proc the boss. However, if the boss uses Flaming Kick or Icy Grasp, you CAN and SHOULD land [[Burn]] on the boss to raise the rest of the party's damage. If you are unlucky enough to cause the boss to use Vivisection, you should [[Elemental Seal]] then [[Meteor]] to either finish off the boss or at least speed up the end of the fight.
** A/E bosses are pretty simple and you should just [[Burn]] and burst Fire or Earth spells (up to your party's preference)
** B/F bosses alternate between electric hands (use Earth magic) and wind hands (use Ice magic). Annoying if you lose stacks of your -ja magic when it alternates, just soldier through it.
** C/G bosses are susceptible to [[Impact]] if you have access to it, and it is extremely potent. Save [[Burn]] until after you land Impact as it'll overall lower more INT in that order. It's recommended to pop [[Elemental Seal]] if you have it up before using Impact on the G boss to ensure it lasts the maximum duration.

==General Information==

===Roles===
Black Mages are essential for end-game Sortie and extremely helpful for endgame content including Dynamis Divergence and Odyssey Sheol Gaol. BLM is primarily a damage dealer but can save parties in a pinch with a combination of its potent Breakga/Sleepga and Mana Wall to serve as a damage sponge while the rest of the party gets things under control. As a Black Mage, successfully magic bursting (and having the party aligned and able to create the requisite skillchains) is critically important to your damage output. Black mage is one of the most powerful damage dealers in the game when used correctly in the right situations with proper planning and execution.

Black Mage should be expected to:
*Deal elemental damage
**Switching between bursting or free nuking sets.
**Know the elemental weaknesses of the foe.
**Magic Burst, whether solo or coordinating with a group.
**Understanding the gist of magic accuracy and magic damage, detailed in a section below.

*Support
**[[Elemental Debuff]]s - especially [[Burn]] for increasing magic damage for the party - and [[Impact]] are powerful
**Competent curing is very helpful in a pinch, especially if you're running SCH or WHM as a subjob.
**Crowd control with Sleepga, Bind, Stun, and Breakga.
***/SCH provides the potential for Dispelga as well.

*Be frontline or backline
**BLM can and should WS to SC in various situations.
**BLM has Mana Wall, and can use it well.
**BLM has the ability to generate TP without meleeing via [[Occult Acumen]]
**BLM has access to AoE WSs and Spells.
**It is often not appropriate to run just because you have hate.

===Mana Wall===

[[Mana Wall]] should not be ignored - when geared properly, you can be a tanking god for 5 minutes and potentially allow your party to recover or get away safe. The way this ability works, damage against you is halved (after you master, it's reduced by 70%!) and then converted to MP damage instead; this is obviously stupidly powerful with your MP pool but it stacks with other Mana Wall gear and your -Damage Taken gear as well.

Mana Wall caps at 95% potency, meaning that incoming damage is reduced by 95% THEN converted to MP damage.
*By default Mana Wall's ability provides 50% reduction
*When mastered with JP, additional 20% reduction
*[[Taranus's Cape]] from Ambuscade provides another 10% reduction
*[[Wicce Sabots +3]] provides 25% reduction
*[[Archmage's Staff]] Path C provides 20% reduction - as you can see, the SU4 staff suffices as the additional Mana Wall reduction from the SU5 staff is wasted on the cap.

When using Mana Wall, you should ensure your set also has capped -Damage Taken as those stats are accounted for before the conversion to MP damage is calculated. It's also nice to use gear such as [[Archmage's Staff]] and [[Ethereal Earring]] to convert damage to MP, effectively lowering the "damage" even more so.

As an example borrowed from a [https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxi/comments/ztedor/kaumodaki_blm_su%E2%81%B5_staff/j1pzk8h/ very helpful reddit post]:

The Sortie G Boss, Triboulex, uses an ultimate move called '''"Setting the Stage"''' that deals 30,000 damage divided among all party members in range. With only the BLM in range, that 30,000 damage is reduced:
# -DT reduces that 30k damage by ~50% to '''15,000'''
# Mana Wall gear reduces that 15k damage by 95% to '''750''' damage
# That 750 damage is converted to '''-750 MP'''
# If using Archmage's Staff and Ethereal Earring, you receive 7% of that damage back, returning 52 MP so effectively from the entire attack you only took '''698 MP damage.'''

There are big negatives that prevent Mana Wall to be used to fully tank - namely you shed enmity extremely quickly with Mana Wall active, and it's especially tough to hold enemies unless you're super tanking (meaning no other party members are attacking enemies and pulling enmity). It's recommended to use specific +enmity sets for spells like [[Stun]] to pull away NMs and keep your party safe in times of emergency.

Status effects can also still affect you, and Mana Wall is a buff that CAN be dispelled.

{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=SCH
|Notes=Probably the most useful support job overall for Black Mage. Especially when you hit ML10, where you get [[Ebullience]] to boost damage for your bursts. [[Parsimony]] allows for greater MP management, [[Alacrity]] allows for more rapid -ja accumulation or recast spells such as Death or Comet for targets weak to our limited dark nukes, and [[Manifestation]] allows you to cast [[Klimaform]] to your party members and cast single target spells like Aspir as AOEs. 

Dark Arts reduces the cost of, casting time, and recast time of your nukes. It also will improve your C+ Enfeebling Skill to a B+. 
On the flip side Light Arts provides a healing skill you actually need. Meaning you stand a better chance at removing Doom with Cursna. More powerful cures aren't a terrible thing either. 

[[Sublimation]] provides you great MP recovery that could make or break killing a tough Sortie or Odyssey boss, arguably more useful to have a burst of MP accessible than having Refresh cast on you.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=WHM
|Notes=An important sub for not only the White Mage line of spells, especially the eventual Curaga III at ML10, but for Weapon Skills. As this is generally the preferred sub for gaining access to [[Earth Crusher]] and [[Cataclysm]]. 

Otherwise, /WHM gives access to the same enfeebles as /RDM, sans Gravity with more party support. In the form of Barspells, Cuaraga, Haste, -na spells, etc.

{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=RDM
|Notes=A handy support job for Haste, Flurry, Refresh, Barspells, Silence, Paralyze, Slow, Gravity, Convert, and extra Fast Cast (and by extension extra spell recast). 

Red Mage as a support job feels like a middle ground between the offerings of White Mage and Scholar. However, Convert and Refresh are overshadowed by Dark Arts, Parsimony, and Sublimation of /SCH. Meaning you generally would sub this if you needed the remaining tools it offers over you other subs.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=SAM
|Notes= /SAM is situationally very useful when you'll be spending a significant amount of time in melee, including for soloing. BLM can and should step up to weapon skill and with /SAM, you can pretty consistently self-SC and then magic burst a spell or two (especially recommended for MLing!). This is especially fun with AM3 on Laevateinn where you can three step your own Light or Dark SCs thanks to Hasso. 

While it may seem counter intuitive to cast with Hasso on given the 50% penalty to casting and recasting. You are only likely getting one burst off anyway without a quick magic proc, and [[Elemental Celerity]] helps you to counter the penalty with a desisted Hasso Fast Cast set leveraging it.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=GEO
|Notes= /GEO is not terribly powerful as you can only cast Indi- spells on yourself, not the powerful Geo- spells as SE in their infinite wisdom did not allow any other jobs to equip bells! 

That being said, with a specific gearset you can achieve <s>an addition 88 combined</s> Geomancy + <s>Handbell</s> skill, so even with diminished potency your Indi-spells like Indi-INT (+5 Stat with no ML and fully Meritted Handbell skill) and especially percentage-based spells like Indi-Barrier (roughly 11%) are worth using! 

The only real reason to use /GEO is if you're chasing a set to take advantage of the Empyrean Armor Proc, wherein there is a chance for bonus damage equivalent to double the amount of MP conserved when the "Conserve MP" trait procs (mouthful, I know). At ML 30, you can access to Conserve MP IV, which equates to an extra 3% Conserve MP.

''Note: The stats you gain from having an Indicolure spell are minimal because skill only uses your Geomancy skill to calculate the formula. You do not gain a boost from the combined skill of Handbells and Geomancy Skills because there are no handbells that can be used by any job other than GEO. You are not able to cast any Geocolure spells with GEO subbed further limiting your capabilities. Furthermore, any Indicolure Spells that provide a percentage gain oppose to raw number are outweighed by multiple other options from other subjobs. BLM has access to Conserve MP III at level 86, you do not gain extra from having two jobs with the trait Conserve MP III trait at the same time. While you will gain Conserve MP IV at ML30 from having Geomancer subbed, what other traits, abilities, and spells are you missing out from having another subjob.''

{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=COR
|Notes= /COR is definitely not the best subjob option since only one Roll can be applied at a time, as well as the fact that BLM is unfortunately not on any of the Roll Potency+ gear! 

With this in mind, we cannot overlook the potential power of being able to self-Roll solo, or even add a third Roll if you have a Corsair! Not to mention Master Levels provide [[Random Deal]], which can potentially land a valuable reset on [[Mana Wall]], increasing potential survivability duration in situations where you are tanking. And let's not forget [[Corsair's Roll]], the only way to boost Exemplar Points gain in EP parties. 

The value of /COR is extremely niche and I would only use it in circumstances where I need to self-sustain with [[Evoker's Roll]], boost my damage with [[Wizard's Roll]], or get extra Master Levels faster with [[Corsair's Roll]]. 

Lastly, /COR offers a means to deal extra damage, generate TP, and enhance spells such as Burn (very important!), Dia, and others via [[Quick Draw]]. By using an All Jobs weapon like [[Troll Gun]] and the All Jobs ammo [[Bronze Bullet]], BLM/COR gets access to this extra unique utility. The one caveat is that you will need to bring along cards of each specific element, as /COR does not allow the use of Trump Cards. The synergy potential with Samurai Roll, Wizard's Roll, etc. should not be ignored.

''Note: None of the other Traits or Abilities conferred by /COR have any relevant applicability to most BLM playstyles. Also beware that there is a penalty applied to Roll Potency when using a Roll on party members whose levels are higher than that of your subjob. This is not a role that is commonly used in Sortie or other content which BLM thrives in.''

==Understanding Magic==
===Magic Accuracy===
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
*Outside of minor edits please use the discussion page for the guide to discuss any major edits or corrections.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
When it comes to being a BLM it is more an exercise in what you know about the foe and what you know about mechanics than just going boom-booms. It is easier for a DD to flub their way through than for you to. So let's go over the rigamarole so that we might all suck less.

While melee combat skills provide a corresponding boost to accuracy and attack at a rate of less than 1:1. Magic skill+ are a 1:1 skill to accuracy gain, but provide no extra attack.

To determine your magic accuracy total. Add up your elemental skill, magic accuracy skill, magic accuracy+, merits, gifts, food, buffs, debuffs, and then factor in dINT. Which is in the section below.
*A Mastered BLM with a Master Level of 0 will sit at 512 before any equipment or dINT.
:*Adding an Mpaca's Staff R0 would add 40 Magic Accuracy and 255 skill for 807.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
{{:Magic Hit Rate|transcludesection=Simplification}}}}
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
INT also plays a role in the magic accuracy of all nukes and INT based enfeebles. The magic accuracy bonus of INT depends on two things:
#dINT, the difference of INT between caster and foe.
#[[Magic Hit Rate]], which we covered, but factors in here.
{{:Intelligence|transcludesection=dINT Table}}

So, INT has a sweet spot from -10 to +10, but also a no-no spot, and that spot is 70+. Which by that age you don't expect much anyway.
*Ba-dum-tss

{{:Magic Hit Rate|transcludesection=dINT Example}}

{{:Intelligence|transcludesection=Foe INT}}

<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
The [[Resist]]ance of a foe is the final and most important piece of the puzzle. Not only for magic accuracy, but for damage. Though we will only cover the accuracy portion of that here, just like with INT.

| style="background: #D8EFFE; border-left: 2px solid #3C6A95; border-right: 2px solid #3C6A95;" | 10%
| 5%
|}

First, let me just summarize the resist page here in terms of accuracy. Foes have individual resistances to all elements, and these values are tiered out in the table above. A neutral resistance tier is 100%, where as weakness would be anything above that, and vice versa for resitance. 
Any foe with a resistance status of 50% forces a resist. Resists will be either a 1/2 (-50%), 1/4 (-75%), or 1/8th (-87.5%). So a Skeleton for example, has a {{dark}} dark resistance tier of 50%. This means any dark based spell which lands is not going to either be full damage or full duration.

Now, there are two things players can do to change the resistance, [[Rayke]] and [[Skillchain]]s.
*Rayke reduces the resistance tier to the corresponding element by a tier per rune.
:*E.g. a foe has a 30% resistance tier to an element, and three runes of that element are Rayked. The reistance tier is now 60% for the duration of Rayke, which is a big deal.
*Skillchains will temporarily lower the resistance tier of the damage of the skillchain by one tier for the window of it.
:*Magic bursting also adds a speculated +100 accuracy to a spell.
:*See the [[Resist#Modifying Resistance Rank]] for more explanation on how a SC damage type is determined.
::*It is the lowest resistance tier, but this can change depending on other steps involved.
This becomes very applicable with NMs, which can tend to have different resistance values from ordinary foes of the same family or even other NMs. For example, no tier 3 [[Odyssey]] NM in Sheol Gaol has a weakness above 30% unless their aura is on which then changes it to 100% iirc. With their neutral elements being 25% and their opposing element at the lowest 5% tier. 
This means if you fight a foe like Ongo then the magic defense down from [[Vidohunir]] will not land outside of when the aura is on. Same for defense down effect from a weapon skill against [[Xevioso]]. In fact to finish that thought, they will only really stand a chance to land against Mboze unless Rayke is used.

Further, as a BLM you can uniquely bypass some of the hindrance of Resist tiers while under [[Subtle Sorcery]]. It will bypass the forced resists from a tier 50% or less, but will not solve the next component of elemental resistance tiers.

Second, the remaining factor to resistance to account for is the magic accuracy requirements imposed by resistance tiers. Which is not actually on the wiki currently. Not because I am some rumored gate keeper, but because neither I nor anyone else have gotten around to it, and it involves deciphering Japanese testing through google Translate. Not the easiest for sure, but what is clear is that as resistance tiers go lower and resistance to an element goes higher. It imposes a greater magic accuracy requirement to cap hit rate.
*[https://twitter.com/MBZ2arZNkm174sV/status/1292994041722724352?cxt=HHwWgICjmd_O0fEjAAAA Here] is the testing I am referring to, and one which corroborates the INT magic accuracy/Ongo testing from Lutes blog cited at the bottom references on both of those pages.
:*The red text is confirmed, and the black is theorized.
:*This testing lines up with the observable effective magic accuracy required for [[Ongo]], 1,365.
::*Since you are magic bursting, yes, the resistance rank changes from 30% to 40% for the burst window, and changes the accuracy required to 1,222 before counting the +100 from bursting.
:*Accuracy requirements jump steeply below the 30% tier. The table lacks it for Ongo, but I can make an educated guess based on the data there. Which means you need an effective magic accuracy of ~1,710 to land Burn on Ongo, given it's 25% tier to fire.
Now the testing doesn't go past the 20% tier, but it doesn't need to with how steep it gets. So when it comes to nuking, SC dmg, or enfeebling any iLvl foe around the lowest tiers, forget about it unless you throw the kitchen sink at the foe. Which generally isn't practical.

Fortunately, there is a lower magic accuracy requirement for the higher resistance tiers. Let's tie this together with a practical example using a level 139 [[Apex Draugar]]. Which has a resistance tiers of {{fire}} 130%, {{ice}} 70%, and {{dark}} 50%. Spells would cap hit rate at the following:
*{{fire}} 1,102
*{{ice}} 1,204
*{{dark}} 1,295
:*Due to the forced resist, if you casted sleep. Then you will either not land the spell or it will land for a reduced time.

What is cool about all of this this is that outside of anything that lowers your macc or boosts the magic evasion of the foe, you can better figure out or fine tune a set to cap hit rate.
{{:Magic Hit Rate|transcludesection=Table}}

<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
Practical implications of the write up:
*Gear enfeebles like sleep or break with a focus in magic accuracy and enfeebling skill.
*Magic Hit Rate caps at 95%, and a miss is simply a reist, which has various values.
*The value of macc from INT depends on dINT. It can be as large as +1 or as low as +0.
*Resistance Ranks aka Resistance Tiers dramatically impact magic accuracy.

===Affinity===

Affinity, also referred to as "Elemental Magic Attack Bonus", adds damage in a separate multiplier term from all standard forms of Magic Attack Bonus.

The base value for this term when no Affinity gear is present = 1.0.

For each stat on gear with Elemental affinity listed:
* Damage affinity +1: Affinity = 1.1
* Damage affinity +2: Affinity = 1.15
* Damage affinity +3: Affinity = 1.20
* Damage affinity +4: Affinity = 1.25
* Damage affinity +5: Affinity = 1.30
* Damage affinity +6: Affinity = 1.35

Elemental Magic Attack Bonus from gear is additive with this term. This statistic is found on gear such as [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring]].
* For example, equipping [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] (28%) and [[Archon Ring]] (5%) would make this term = 1.33 for {{dark}} damage.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] uniquely grants this stat for all elements. See its page for details.

Equipment usable by BLM that provides Elemental Magic Attack Bonus include:
* [[Ngqoqwanb]] provides 15% {{Ice}} elemental affinity.
* [[Ossa Grip]] provides 2% {{Ice}} elemental affinity when the user has [[Ice Spikes]] active.
* [[Marin Staff]] and [[Marin Staff +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Wind}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Kaikias' Cape]] provides 4% {{Wind}} elemental affinity.
* [[Quanpur Necklace]] provides 5% {{Earth}} elemental affinity.
* [[Weatherspoon Ring]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Light}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] provides 28% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Archon Ring]] provides 5% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] provides a range of 1-15% elemental affinity bonus for all elements dependent on distance from the target, for a maximum of 15% {{Elements}} elemental affinity if the target is within 1.93' from the player.

Reminder that spells like [[Comet]], [[Impact]], [[Aspir]], and [[Death]] are darkness elemental magic and ARE enhanced by equipment that boosts darkness elemental affinity!

===Cumulative Magic aka -ja Spells===

Cumulative Magic, usually just called "-ja" spells, are a very important part of playing BLM and raising the entire party's damage for a specific element.

Each time a cumulative magic spell is cast, a hidden debuff is placed on the monster which makes the monster take 5% additional damage from damage of that element for 60 seconds. Each successive cast of the same cumulative magic spell on the same target (from any player) will increase this elemental damage boost by an additional 5% of base damage; however, the window is not extended and will end 60 seconds after the first cumulative magic spell hit the monster even if another matching spell is cast, unless you use Empyrean legs (Extends the window all the way to 110 seconds duration if using [[Wicce Chausses +3]]).
*'''The total damage boost caps at 25%.'''

For example, assuming an initial casting damage of 1000 for [[Firaja]], casting [[Firaja]] repeatedly within 60 seconds will result in damage of 1000, 1050, 1100, etc. Other fire damage, such as [[Fire IV]] or [[Wildfire]], will also receive this damage boost (+5%, +10%, etc.) while in effect.

* [[Firaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Fire}} damage per cast
* [[Blizzaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Ice}} damage per cast
* [[Thundaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Thunder}} damage per cast
* [[Aeroja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Wind}} damage per cast
* [[Stoneja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Earth}} damage per cast
* [[Waterja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Water}} damage per cast
* [[Comet]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Dark}} damage per cast

Technically speaking, you only need to have your Empyrean legs equipped on the first cast of Cumulative Magic, but since the [[Wicce Chausses +3]] are BIS for both Free Nuking and Magic Bursting, you don't have to worry much about swapping.

===Death===

[[Death]] is a spell with very different mechanics that are worth knowing more about.

Death has a chance to instantly KO the enemy, though this does not affect NMs. If your enemy is not killed, the damage formula is:

* (Current MP×3 + Magic Damage)×(MAB/MDB)×(Affinity)×(Day/Weather)
** Note that the Magic Damage in the above formula is capped to 32

You need at least 1 MP to cast Death, and using it expends all of your current MP, even if you have Manafont or Manawell up.

Part of the trick to using Death properly is to build specific sets that ensure that you have the highest possible MP prior to use - this is why you'll see BLMs in specific Idle sets that maximize MP, and cast Death using a specific Precast set that retains as much MP as possible so that your MP isn't cut before you even cast the spell.

===Meteor===

Unfortunately, the coolest and most visually spectacular spell that Square-Enix added to the game has very limited use in endgame.

[[Meteor]] is unique in the fact that it's a non-elemental elemental magic spell - meaning that it uses your elemental magic skill to calculate its damage, but it is typeless and cannot be resisted. It does require you to use Elemental Seal before casting, so consider it on a 10-minute cooldown. It also takes eons to cast - consider building a precast set for this spell that crams in as much Quick Magic gear as you can.

* Unlike other nukes, elemental magic skill contributes directly to Meteor base damage, and the damage is independent of the enemy's INT.
** Meteor's base damage can be approximated as: (1+MAB/100)*floor(INT + Elemental Magic Skill/6)*3.5

Meteor is however worth discussing for at least one specific use-case: the Sortie D & H bosses.

If the fight with either of the Sortie D & H bosses go awry, they use a special ability called Vivisection - this is a full dispel on the party that also removes the NM's elemental weakness, meaning that all of your other spells do pitiful damage... with the exception of Meteor, as it's typeless damage! If the boss is low health and gets off Vivisection, consider using Meteor - it could save the run or at least dramatically save time for the fight to recover!

===Impact===

[[Impact]] is a very special spell that can only be cast if you're wearing one of two particular and difficult to acquire pieces of equipment - these cloaks must remain equipped both for the precast and midcast periods:

* [[Twilight Cloak]]
* [[Crepuscular Cloak]] - 119 version so has much higher MACC and stats

Impact is an ALL STATS DOWN debuff on the target that deals dark damage and lowers an enemy's Strength, Dexterity, Vitality, Agility, Intelligence, Mind, and Charisma.

* Each of the target's base stats is reduced by 20% of the value at the time of cast.
** Stat values are snapshotted on cast, so Impact will have the highest potency if applied before other reductions such as [[Elemental Debuff]]s, namely [[Burn]].

As you might imagine, this can be incredibly potent and can dramatically raise damage against certain NMs, in particular the Sortie C and G bosses.

Impact's maximum duration is 3 minutes, though if resisted the duration will be cut drastically. Since this is an elemental magic spell, a combination of elemental magic skill and magic accuracy is highly encouraged to ensure that this great spell lasts as long as possible against foes with high magic evasion. It's worth coordinating with a Red Mage in your party to have them cast Frazzle III on the enemy first before using Impact.

Not as good as Marin Staff +1 in most situations, unless you get really really lucky on augments from Oseem. You can also try to augment this during Dark Matter Augment campaigns, where theoretically you can break the normal stat limits and get a very powerful staff if you're lucky.

'''Sadly, Claustrum is not even worthy of an honorable mention - the Relic Staff isn't even remotely competitive for casting magic, though it is a very high accuracy melee option if you are looking for an extremely niche melee build. Probably not worth the investment for any real purpose in-game.'''

'''Note that ALL of the Empyrean Armor +3 is BIS for Free Nuking not only because of the stats on them but also because of the Empyrean Armor Proc wherein when Conserve MP is proc'd, extra damage is calculated based on double of the MP conserved.'''

===Other Essential BLM Gear===
====Hachirin-no-Obi====
[[Hachirin-no-Obi]] is absolutely essential and it's highly recommended to have your Gearswap LUA automatically equip it while nuking when the weather conditions are met. It's a tremendous damage boost and should be paired with [[Klimaform]] either you cast as /SCH or cast by a SCH in your party.

Weather Damage bonuses are as follows:
*+10% bonus for the element matching the day
*+10% bonus for the element matching single weather
**+20% when both single weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+20% bonus for the element matching single weather and day
**+30% when both single weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+25% bonus for the element matching double weather
**+35% when both double weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+35% bonus for the element matching double weather and day
**+45% when both double weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*The element that is weak to the day/weather can suffer the same percentage as above as a penalty
**e.g. {{Fire}} can get -10% during {{Water}} weather.

==Gearsets==

'''WIP to create new sets and recommendations for subjobs, Ambuscade capes, and other sets. Edits welcome but should not be unilaterally deleted without replacements in place.'''

===Precast Sets===
'''Note: BLMs receive the Elemental Celerity trait, which provides 30% faster casting (38% when mastered) for specifically elemental magic. However, this does NOT grant faster recast after you're done casting this spell. If you'd like to take advantage of this, you can only have 42 Fast Cast in your Elemental Magic Precast set and fill in the other slots with -DT and Magic Evasion gear.'''

*Once you start learning Sortie and accumulating galli, you'll finally be able to grind and upgrade your most important pieces of gear - Empyrean Armor. The +2 is a huge upgrade and will be great until you accumulate the galli and starstones to upgrade your gear all the way up to +3.
*The JSE+2 neck is very important but extremely costly to purchase and to augment.

==Tips and Tricks==
===Sortie===

Black Mages are extremely valuable for Sortie endgame runs and on top of their usual role of Magic Bursting everything into smithereens, compiled below are a few tips for bringing the maximum utility to your team:

* Most endgame Sortie groups split up at the beginning to accomplish objectives and receive Shard Key Items to gain access to Sortie's bosses. In just about all normal Sortie magic runs, the BLM will be solely responsible for accomplishing the A objectives:
** After buffing, run south from the start, pop [[Mana Wall]], and round up 6 Acuex enemies. If you have a good Mana Wall set, you should be able to tank them with ease and lose minimal MP.
** Cast [[Firaja]], [[Firaga III]], and other AOE spells to get the 6 Acuex enemies down to 20% or so HP.
** Do not kill any enemies with AOE spells; instead, swap to single target Fire magic and kill them one by one.
** You should spawn chests containing [[Ra'Kaznar Shard A]] and [[Ra'Kaznar Metal A]], as well as a bonus blue chest that has a chance to drop an Old Case.
** If you are lucky enough to see the roaming NM Obdella, you'll easily be able to tank it in your Mana Wall set and Free Nuke it to death for another chest.
* After A objectives are done, many parties start the boss order with D. If so, keep going south and join the rest of the party at the D boss.
* For all bosses, it's wise to save your SCH a strategem and use [[Manifestation]] and cast [[Klimaform]] on the entire party. Since Klimaform's duration and potency are set, you're better off using it and allowing your SCH to have a better strat economy.
* Specific tips and tricks for each boss:
** D/H bosses change their elemental affinities, so you'll have to quickly cast the opposite element to proc the boss. However, if the boss uses Flaming Kick or Icy Grasp, you CAN and SHOULD land [[Burn]] on the boss to raise the rest of the party's damage. If you are unlucky enough to cause the boss to use Vivisection, you should [[Elemental Seal]] then [[Meteor]] to either finish off the boss or at least speed up the end of the fight.
** A/E bosses are pretty simple and you should just [[Burn]] and burst Fire or Earth spells (up to your party's preference)
** B/F bosses alternate between electric hands (use Earth magic) and wind hands (use Ice magic). Annoying if you lose stacks of your -ja magic when it alternates, just soldier through it.
** C/G bosses are susceptible to [[Impact]] if you have access to it, and it is extremely potent. Save [[Burn]] until after you land Impact as it'll overall lower more INT in that order. It's recommended to pop [[Elemental Seal]] if you have it up before using Impact on the G boss to ensure it lasts the maximum duration.

==General Information==

===Roles===
Black Mages are essential for end-game Sortie and extremely helpful for endgame content including Dynamis Divergence and Odyssey Sheol Gaol. BLM is primarily a damage dealer but can save parties in a pinch with a combination of its potent Breakga/Sleepga and Mana Wall to serve as a damage sponge while the rest of the party gets things under control. As a Black Mage, successfully magic bursting (and having the party aligned and able to create the requisite skillchains) is critically important to your damage output. Black mage is one of the most powerful damage dealers in the game when used correctly in the right situations with proper planning and execution.

Black Mage should be expected to:
*Deal elemental damage
**Switching between bursting or free nuking sets.
**Know the elemental weaknesses of the foe.
**Magic Burst, whether solo or coordinating with a group.
**Understanding the gist of magic accuracy and magic damage, detailed in a section below.

*Support
**[[Elemental Debuff]]s - especially [[Burn]] for increasing magic damage for the party - and [[Impact]] are powerful
**Competent curing is very helpful in a pinch, especially if you're running SCH or WHM as a subjob.
**Crowd control with Sleepga, Bind, Stun, and Breakga.
***/SCH provides the potential for Dispelga as well.

*Be frontline or backline
**BLM can and should WS to SC in various situations.
**BLM has Mana Wall, and can use it well.
**BLM has the ability to generate TP without meleeing via [[Occult Acumen]]
**BLM has access to AoE WSs and Spells.
**It is often not appropriate to run just because you have hate.

===Mana Wall===

[[Mana Wall]] should not be ignored - when geared properly, you can be a tanking god for 5 minutes and potentially allow your party to recover or get away safe. The way this ability works, damage against you is halved (after you master, it's reduced by 70%!) and then converted to MP damage instead; this is obviously stupidly powerful with your MP pool but it stacks with other Mana Wall gear and your -Damage Taken gear as well.

Mana Wall caps at 95% potency, meaning that incoming damage is reduced by 95% THEN converted to MP damage.
*By default Mana Wall's ability provides 50% reduction
*When mastered with JP, additional 20% reduction
*[[Taranus's Cape]] from Ambuscade provides another 10% reduction
*[[Wicce Sabots +3]] provides 25% reduction
*[[Archmage's Staff]] Path C provides 20% reduction - as you can see, the SU4 staff suffices as the additional Mana Wall reduction from the SU5 staff is wasted on the cap.

When using Mana Wall, you should ensure your set also has capped -Damage Taken as those stats are accounted for before the conversion to MP damage is calculated. It's also nice to use gear such as [[Archmage's Staff]] and [[Ethereal Earring]] to convert damage to MP, effectively lowering the "damage" even more so.

As an example borrowed from a [https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxi/comments/ztedor/kaumodaki_blm_su%E2%81%B5_staff/j1pzk8h/ very helpful reddit post]:

The Sortie G Boss, Triboulex, uses an ultimate move called '''"Setting the Stage"''' that deals 30,000 damage divided among all party members in range. With only the BLM in range, that 30,000 damage is reduced:
# -DT reduces that 30k damage by ~50% to '''15,000'''
# Mana Wall gear reduces that 15k damage by 95% to '''750''' damage
# That 750 damage is converted to '''-750 MP'''
# If using Archmage's Staff and Ethereal Earring, you receive 7% of that damage back, returning 52 MP so effectively from the entire attack you only took '''698 MP damage.'''

There are big negatives that prevent Mana Wall to be used to fully tank - namely you shed enmity extremely quickly with Mana Wall active, and it's especially tough to hold enemies unless you're super tanking (meaning no other party members are attacking enemies and pulling enmity). It's recommended to use specific +enmity sets for spells like [[Stun]] to pull away NMs and keep your party safe in times of emergency.

Status effects can also still affect you, and Mana Wall is a buff that CAN be dispelled.

==Support Jobs==
{{Guide Support Jobs Table
|Border Color=#51414F
|Support Jobs=
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=SCH
|Notes=Probably the most useful support job overall for Black Mage. Especially when you hit ML10, where you get [[Ebullience]] to boost damage for your bursts. [[Parsimony]] allows for greater MP management, [[Alacrity]] allows for more rapid -ja accumulation or recast spells such as Death or Comet for targets weak to our limited dark nukes, and [[Manifestation]] allows you to cast [[Klimaform]] to your party members and cast single target spells like Aspir as AOEs. 

Dark Arts reduces the cost of, casting time, and recast time of your nukes. It also will improve your C+ Enfeebling Skill to a B+. 
On the flip side Light Arts provides a healing skill you actually need. Meaning you stand a better chance at removing Doom with Cursna. More powerful cures aren't a terrible thing either. 

[[Sublimation]] provides you great MP recovery that could make or break killing a tough Sortie or Odyssey boss, arguably more useful to have a burst of MP accessible than having Refresh cast on you.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=WHM
|Notes=An important sub for not only the White Mage line of spells, especially the eventual Curaga III at ML10, but for Weapon Skills. As this is generally the preferred sub for gaining access to [[Earth Crusher]] and [[Cataclysm]]. 

Otherwise, /WHM gives access to the same enfeebles as /RDM, sans Gravity with more party support. In the form of Barspells, Cuaraga, Haste, -na spells, etc.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=RDM
|Notes=A handy support job for Haste, Flurry, Refresh, Barspells, Silence, Paralyze, Slow, Gravity, Convert, and extra Fast Cast (and by extension extra spell recast). 

Red Mage as a support job feels like a middle ground between the offerings of White Mage and Scholar. However, Convert and Refresh are overshadowed by Dark Arts, Parsimony, and Sublimation of /SCH. Meaning you generally would sub this if you needed the remaining tools it offers over you other subs.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=SAM
|Notes= /SAM is situationally very useful when you'll be spending a significant amount of time in melee, including for soloing. BLM can and should step up to weapon skill and with /SAM, you can pretty consistently self-SC and then magic burst a spell or two (especially recommended for MLing!). This is especially fun with AM3 on Laevateinn where you can three step your own Light or Dark SCs thanks to Hasso. 

While it may seem counter intuitive to cast with Hasso on given the 50% penalty to casting and recasting. You are only likely getting one burst off anyway without a quick magic proc, and [[Elemental Celerity]] helps you to counter the penalty with a desisted Hasso Fast Cast set leveraging it.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=GEO
|Notes= /GEO is not terribly powerful as you can only cast Indi- spells on yourself, not the powerful Geo- spells as SE in their infinite wisdom did not allow any other jobs to equip bells! 

That being said, with a specific gearset you can achieve <s>an addition 88 combined</s> Geomancy + <s>Handbell</s> skill, so even with diminished potency your Indi-spells like Indi-INT (+5 Stat with no ML and fully Meritted Handbell skill) and especially percentage-based spells like Indi-Barrier (roughly 11%) are worth using! 

The only real reason to use /GEO is if you're chasing a set to take advantage of the Empyrean Armor Proc, wherein there is a chance for bonus damage equivalent to double the amount of MP conserved when the "Conserve MP" trait procs (mouthful, I know). At ML 30, you can access to Conserve MP IV, which equates to an extra 3% Conserve MP.

''Note: The stats you gain from having an Indicolure spell are minimal because skill only uses your Geomancy skill to calculate the formula. You do not gain a boost from the combined skill of Handbells and Geomancy Skills because there are no handbells that can be used by any job other than GEO. You are not able to cast any Geocolure spells with GEO subbed further limiting your capabilities. Furthermore, any Indicolure Spells that provide a percentage gain oppose to raw number are outweighed by multiple other options from other subjobs. BLM has access to Conserve MP III at level 86, you do not gain extra from having two jobs with the trait Conserve MP III trait at the same time. While you will gain Conserve MP IV at ML30 from having Geomancer subbed, what other traits, abilities, and spells are you missing out from having another subjob.''

{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=COR
|Notes= /COR is definitely not the best subjob option since only one Roll can be applied at a time, as well as the fact that BLM is unfortunately not on any of the Roll Potency+ gear! 

With this in mind, we cannot overlook the potential power of being able to self-Roll solo, or even add a third Roll if you have a Corsair! Not to mention Master Levels provide [[Random Deal]], which can potentially land a valuable reset on [[Mana Wall]], increasing potential survivability duration in situations where you are tanking. And let's not forget [[Corsair's Roll]], the only way to boost Exemplar Points gain in EP parties. 

The value of /COR is extremely niche and I would only use it in circumstances where I need to self-sustain with [[Evoker's Roll]], boost my damage with [[Wizard's Roll]], or get extra Master Levels faster with [[Corsair's Roll]]. 

Lastly, /COR offers a means to deal extra damage, generate TP, and enhance spells such as Burn (very important!), Dia, and others via [[Quick Draw]]. By using an All Jobs weapon like [[Troll Gun]] and the All Jobs ammo [[Bronze Bullet]], BLM/COR gets access to this extra unique utility. The one caveat is that you will need to bring along cards of each specific element, as /COR does not allow the use of Trump Cards. The synergy potential with Samurai Roll, Wizard's Roll, etc. should not be ignored.

''Note: None of the other Traits or Abilities conferred by /COR have any relevant applicability to most BLM playstyles. Also beware that there is a penalty applied to Roll Potency when using a Roll on party members whose levels are higher than that of your subjob. This is not a role that is commonly used in Sortie or other content which BLM thrives in.''

==Understanding Magic==
===Magic Accuracy===
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
*Outside of minor edits please use the discussion page for the guide to discuss any major edits or corrections.

When it comes to being a BLM it is more an exercise in what you know about the foe and what you know about mechanics than just going boom-booms. It is easier for a DD to flub their way through than for you to. So let's go over the rigamarole so that we might all suck less.

While melee combat skills provide a corresponding boost to accuracy and attack at a rate of less than 1:1. Magic skill+ are a 1:1 skill to accuracy gain, but provide no extra attack.

To determine your magic accuracy total. Add up your elemental skill, magic accuracy skill, magic accuracy+, merits, gifts, food, buffs, debuffs, and then factor in dINT. Which is in the section below.
*A Mastered BLM with a Master Level of 0 will sit at 512 before any equipment or dINT.
:*Adding an Mpaca's Staff R0 would add 40 Magic Accuracy and 255 skill for 807.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
{{:Magic Hit Rate|transcludesection=Simplification}}}}
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
INT also plays a role in the magic accuracy of all nukes and INT based enfeebles. The magic accuracy bonus of INT depends on two things:
#dINT, the difference of INT between caster and foe.
#[[Magic Hit Rate]], which we covered, but factors in here.
{{:Intelligence|transcludesection=dINT Table}}

So, INT has a sweet spot from -10 to +10, but also a no-no spot, and that spot is 70+. Which by that age you don't expect much anyway.
*Ba-dum-tss

{{:Magic Hit Rate|transcludesection=dINT Example}}

{{:Intelligence|transcludesection=Foe INT}}

<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
The [[Resist]]ance of a foe is the final and most important piece of the puzzle. Not only for magic accuracy, but for damage. Though we will only cover the accuracy portion of that here, just like with INT.

{| style="border: 2px solid #3C6A95; text-align: center; margin: 3px; width: 100%; max-width: 788px;" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"

|}

First, let me just summarize the resist page here in terms of accuracy. Foes have individual resistances to all elements, and these values are tiered out in the table above. A neutral resistance tier is 100%, where as weakness would be anything above that, and vice versa for resitance. 
Any foe with a resistance status of 50% forces a resist. Resists will be either a 1/2 (-50%), 1/4 (-75%), or 1/8th (-87.5%). So a Skeleton for example, has a {{dark}} dark resistance tier of 50%. This means any dark based spell which lands is not going to either be full damage or full duration.

Now, there are two things players can do to change the resistance, [[Rayke]] and [[Skillchain]]s.
*Rayke reduces the resistance tier to the corresponding element by a tier per rune.
:*E.g. a foe has a 30% resistance tier to an element, and three runes of that element are Rayked. The reistance tier is now 60% for the duration of Rayke, which is a big deal.
*Skillchains will temporarily lower the resistance tier of the damage of the skillchain by one tier for the window of it.
:*Magic bursting also adds a speculated +100 accuracy to a spell.
:*See the [[Resist#Modifying Resistance Rank]] for more explanation on how a SC damage type is determined.
::*It is the lowest resistance tier, but this can change depending on other steps involved.
This becomes very applicable with NMs, which can tend to have different resistance values from ordinary foes of the same family or even other NMs. For example, no tier 3 [[Odyssey]] NM in Sheol Gaol has a weakness above 30% unless their aura is on which then changes it to 100% iirc. With their neutral elements being 25% and their opposing element at the lowest 5% tier. 
This means if you fight a foe like Ongo then the magic defense down from [[Vidohunir]] will not land outside of when the aura is on. Same for defense down effect from a weapon skill against [[Xevioso]]. In fact to finish that thought, they will only really stand a chance to land against Mboze unless Rayke is used.

Further, as a BLM you can uniquely bypass some of the hindrance of Resist tiers while under [[Subtle Sorcery]]. It will bypass the forced resists from a tier 50% or less, but will not solve the next component of elemental resistance tiers.

Second, the remaining factor to resistance to account for is the magic accuracy requirements imposed by resistance tiers. Which is not actually on the wiki currently. Not because I am some rumored gate keeper, but because neither I nor anyone else have gotten around to it, and it involves deciphering Japanese testing through google Translate. Not the easiest for sure, but what is clear is that as resistance tiers go lower and resistance to an element goes higher. It imposes a greater magic accuracy requirement to cap hit rate.
*[https://twitter.com/MBZ2arZNkm174sV/status/1292994041722724352?cxt=HHwWgICjmd_O0fEjAAAA Here] is the testing I am referring to, and one which corroborates the INT magic accuracy/Ongo testing from Lutes blog cited at the bottom references on both of those pages.
:*The red text is confirmed, and the black is theorized.
:*This testing lines up with the observable effective magic accuracy required for [[Ongo]], 1,365.
::*Since you are magic bursting, yes, the resistance rank changes from 30% to 40% for the burst window, and changes the accuracy required to 1,222 before counting the +100 from bursting.
:*Accuracy requirements jump steeply below the 30% tier. The table lacks it for Ongo, but I can make an educated guess based on the data there. Which means you need an effective magic accuracy of ~1,710 to land Burn on Ongo, given it's 25% tier to fire.
Now the testing doesn't go past the 20% tier, but it doesn't need to with how steep it gets. So when it comes to nuking, SC dmg, or enfeebling any iLvl foe around the lowest tiers, forget about it unless you throw the kitchen sink at the foe. Which generally isn't practical.

Fortunately, there is a lower magic accuracy requirement for the higher resistance tiers. Let's tie this together with a practical example using a level 139 [[Apex Draugar]]. Which has a resistance tiers of {{fire}} 130%, {{ice}} 70%, and {{dark}} 50%. Spells would cap hit rate at the following:
*{{fire}} 1,102
*{{ice}} 1,204
*{{dark}} 1,295
:*Due to the forced resist, if you casted sleep. Then you will either not land the spell or it will land for a reduced time.

What is cool about all of this this is that outside of anything that lowers your macc or boosts the magic evasion of the foe, you can better figure out or fine tune a set to cap hit rate.
{{:Magic Hit Rate|transcludesection=Table}}

<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
Practical implications of the write up:
*Gear enfeebles like sleep or break with a focus in magic accuracy and enfeebling skill.
*Magic Hit Rate caps at 95%, and a miss is simply a reist, which has various values.
*The value of macc from INT depends on dINT. It can be as large as +1 or as low as +0.
*Resistance Ranks aka Resistance Tiers dramatically impact magic accuracy.

===Affinity===

Affinity, also referred to as "Elemental Magic Attack Bonus", adds damage in a separate multiplier term from all standard forms of Magic Attack Bonus.

The base value for this term when no Affinity gear is present = 1.0.

For each stat on gear with Elemental affinity listed:
* Damage affinity +1: Affinity = 1.1
* Damage affinity +2: Affinity = 1.15
* Damage affinity +3: Affinity = 1.20
* Damage affinity +4: Affinity = 1.25
* Damage affinity +5: Affinity = 1.30
* Damage affinity +6: Affinity = 1.35

Elemental Magic Attack Bonus from gear is additive with this term. This statistic is found on gear such as [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring]].
* For example, equipping [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] (28%) and [[Archon Ring]] (5%) would make this term = 1.33 for {{dark}} damage.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] uniquely grants this stat for all elements. See its page for details.

Equipment usable by BLM that provides Elemental Magic Attack Bonus include:
* [[Ngqoqwanb]] provides 15% {{Ice}} elemental affinity.
* [[Ossa Grip]] provides 2% {{Ice}} elemental affinity when the user has [[Ice Spikes]] active.
* [[Marin Staff]] and [[Marin Staff +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Wind}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Kaikias' Cape]] provides 4% {{Wind}} elemental affinity.
* [[Quanpur Necklace]] provides 5% {{Earth}} elemental affinity.
* [[Weatherspoon Ring]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Light}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] provides 28% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Archon Ring]] provides 5% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] provides a range of 1-15% elemental affinity bonus for all elements dependent on distance from the target, for a maximum of 15% {{Elements}} elemental affinity if the target is within 1.93' from the player.

Reminder that spells like [[Comet]], [[Impact]], [[Aspir]], and [[Death]] are darkness elemental magic and ARE enhanced by equipment that boosts darkness elemental affinity!

===Cumulative Magic aka -ja Spells===

Cumulative Magic, usually just called "-ja" spells, are a very important part of playing BLM and raising the entire party's damage for a specific element.

Each time a cumulative magic spell is cast, a hidden debuff is placed on the monster which makes the monster take 5% additional damage from damage of that element for 60 seconds. Each successive cast of the same cumulative magic spell on the same target (from any player) will increase this elemental damage boost by an additional 5% of base damage; however, the window is not extended and will end 60 seconds after the first cumulative magic spell hit the monster even if another matching spell is cast, unless you use Empyrean legs (Extends the window all the way to 110 seconds duration if using [[Wicce Chausses +3]]).
*'''The total damage boost caps at 25%.'''

For example, assuming an initial casting damage of 1000 for [[Firaja]], casting [[Firaja]] repeatedly within 60 seconds will result in damage of 1000, 1050, 1100, etc. Other fire damage, such as [[Fire IV]] or [[Wildfire]], will also receive this damage boost (+5%, +10%, etc.) while in effect.

* [[Firaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Fire}} damage per cast
* [[Blizzaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Ice}} damage per cast
* [[Thundaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Thunder}} damage per cast
* [[Aeroja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Wind}} damage per cast
* [[Stoneja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Earth}} damage per cast
* [[Waterja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Water}} damage per cast
* [[Comet]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Dark}} damage per cast

Technically speaking, you only need to have your Empyrean legs equipped on the first cast of Cumulative Magic, but since the [[Wicce Chausses +3]] are BIS for both Free Nuking and Magic Bursting, you don't have to worry much about swapping.

===Death===

[[Death]] is a spell with very different mechanics that are worth knowing more about.

Death has a chance to instantly KO the enemy, though this does not affect NMs. If your enemy is not killed, the damage formula is:

* (Current MP×3 + Magic Damage)×(MAB/MDB)×(Affinity)×(Day/Weather)
** Note that the Magic Damage in the above formula is capped to 32

You need at least 1 MP to cast Death, and using it expends all of your current MP, even if you have Manafont or Manawell up.

Part of the trick to using Death properly is to build specific sets that ensure that you have the highest possible MP prior to use - this is why you'll see BLMs in specific Idle sets that maximize MP, and cast Death using a specific Precast set that retains as much MP as possible so that your MP isn't cut before you even cast the spell.

===Meteor===

Unfortunately, the coolest and most visually spectacular spell that Square-Enix added to the game has very limited use in endgame.

[[Meteor]] is unique in the fact that it's a non-elemental elemental magic spell - meaning that it uses your elemental magic skill to calculate its damage, but it is typeless and cannot be resisted. It does require you to use Elemental Seal before casting, so consider it on a 10-minute cooldown. It also takes eons to cast - consider building a precast set for this spell that crams in as much Quick Magic gear as you can.

* Unlike other nukes, elemental magic skill contributes directly to Meteor base damage, and the damage is independent of the enemy's INT.
** Meteor's base damage can be approximated as: (1+MAB/100)*floor(INT + Elemental Magic Skill/6)*3.5

Meteor is however worth discussing for at least one specific use-case: the Sortie D & H bosses.

If the fight with either of the Sortie D & H bosses go awry, they use a special ability called Vivisection - this is a full dispel on the party that also removes the NM's elemental weakness, meaning that all of your other spells do pitiful damage... with the exception of Meteor, as it's typeless damage! If the boss is low health and gets off Vivisection, consider using Meteor - it could save the run or at least dramatically save time for the fight to recover!

===Impact===

[[Impact]] is a very special spell that can only be cast if you're wearing one of two particular and difficult to acquire pieces of equipment - these cloaks must remain equipped both for the precast and midcast periods:

* [[Twilight Cloak]]
* [[Crepuscular Cloak]] - 119 version so has much higher MACC and stats

Impact is an ALL STATS DOWN debuff on the target that deals dark damage and lowers an enemy's Strength, Dexterity, Vitality, Agility, Intelligence, Mind, and Charisma.

* Each of the target's base stats is reduced by 20% of the value at the time of cast.
** Stat values are snapshotted on cast, so Impact will have the highest potency if applied before other reductions such as [[Elemental Debuff]]s, namely [[Burn]].

As you might imagine, this can be incredibly potent and can dramatically raise damage against certain NMs, in particular the Sortie C and G bosses.

Impact's maximum duration is 3 minutes, though if resisted the duration will be cut drastically. Since this is an elemental magic spell, a combination of elemental magic skill and magic accuracy is highly encouraged to ensure that this great spell lasts as long as possible against foes with high magic evasion. It's worth coordinating with a Red Mage in your party to have them cast Frazzle III on the enemy first before using Impact.

'''Note that ALL of the Empyrean Armor +3 is BIS for Free Nuking not only because of the stats on them but also because of the Empyrean Armor Proc wherein when Conserve MP is proc'd, extra damage is calculated based on double of the MP conserved.'''

===Other Essential BLM Gear===
====Hachirin-no-Obi====
[[Hachirin-no-Obi]] is absolutely essential and it's highly recommended to have your Gearswap LUA automatically equip it while nuking when the weather conditions are met. It's a tremendous damage boost and should be paired with [[Klimaform]] either you cast as /SCH or cast by a SCH in your party.

Weather Damage bonuses are as follows:
*+10% bonus for the element matching the day
*+10% bonus for the element matching single weather
**+20% when both single weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+20% bonus for the element matching single weather and day
**+30% when both single weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+25% bonus for the element matching double weather
**+35% when both double weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+35% bonus for the element matching double weather and day
**+45% when both double weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*The element that is weak to the day/weather can suffer the same percentage as above as a penalty
**e.g. {{Fire}} can get -10% during {{Water}} weather.

==Gearsets==

'''WIP to create new sets and recommendations for subjobs, Ambuscade capes, and other sets. Edits welcome but should not be unilaterally deleted without replacements in place.'''

===Precast Sets===
'''Note: BLMs receive the Elemental Celerity trait, which provides 30% faster casting (38% when mastered) for specifically elemental magic. However, this does NOT grant faster recast after you're done casting this spell. If you'd like to take advantage of this, you can only have 42 Fast Cast in your Elemental Magic Precast set and fill in the other slots with -DT and Magic Evasion gear.'''

*Requires further testing, but the community has theorized that elemental magic skill disproportionately affects the effectiveness of Impact. Aim for maximum magic accuracy and elemental magic skill.
*Impact can also be cast using the non-ilvl Twilight Cloak if you lack access to the Crep Cloak!
*Impact is dark elemental so can be hard to land on certain mobs.

*Fun set to maximize the damage variance from the Empyrean Armor Proc - this set bonus provides a damage buff double to the amount of MP that was conserved. With all Empyrean armor equipped, you have a 25% chance of the proc activating.
*Under ideal circumstances, theoretically you can achieve an average of 56.25% damage buff approx 20% of the time
*You can achieve even more Conserve MP if you happen to be BLM/GEO - it gets an additional tier of the Conserve MP trait.

You'll need individually aligned elemental cards, but when you can upshot your own [[Elemental Debuff|Elemental Debuffs]] ''and'' [[Poison]] ''while'' getting a massive TP return, why would you say no? Consider utilizing [[Samurai Roll]] to significantly boost the return on your [[Quick Draw]]!

==Tips and Tricks==
===Sortie===

Black Mages are extremely valuable for Sortie endgame runs and on top of their usual role of Magic Bursting everything into smithereens, compiled below are a few tips for bringing the maximum utility to your team:

* Most endgame Sortie groups split up at the beginning to accomplish objectives and receive Shard Key Items to gain access to Sortie's bosses. In just about all normal Sortie magic runs, the BLM will be solely responsible for accomplishing the A objectives:
** After buffing, run south from the start, pop [[Mana Wall]], and round up 6 Acuex enemies. If you have a good Mana Wall set, you should be able to tank them with ease and lose minimal MP.
** Cast [[Firaja]], [[Firaga III]], and other AOE spells to get the 6 Acuex enemies down to 20% or so HP.
** Do not kill any enemies with AOE spells; instead, swap to single target Fire magic and kill them one by one.
** You should spawn chests containing [[Ra'Kaznar Shard A]] and [[Ra'Kaznar Metal A]], as well as a bonus blue chest that has a chance to drop an Old Case.
** If you are lucky enough to see the roaming NM Obdella, you'll easily be able to tank it in your Mana Wall set and Free Nuke it to death for another chest.
* After A objectives are done, many parties start the boss order with D. If so, keep going south and join the rest of the party at the D boss.
* For all bosses, it's wise to save your SCH a strategem and use [[Manifestation]] and cast [[Klimaform]] on the entire party. Since Klimaform's duration and potency are set, you're better off using it and allowing your SCH to have a better strat economy.
* Specific tips and tricks for each boss:
** D/H bosses change their elemental affinities, so you'll have to quickly cast the opposite element to proc the boss. However, if the boss uses Flaming Kick or Icy Grasp, you CAN and SHOULD land [[Burn]] on the boss to raise the rest of the party's damage. If you are unlucky enough to cause the boss to use Vivisection, you should [[Elemental Seal]] then [[Meteor]] to either finish off the boss or at least speed up the end of the fight.
** A/E bosses are pretty simple and you should just [[Burn]] and burst Fire or Earth spells (up to your party's preference)
** B/F bosses alternate between electric hands (use Earth magic) and wind hands (use Ice magic). Annoying if you lose stacks of your -ja magic when it alternates, just soldier through it.
** C/G bosses are susceptible to [[Impact]] if you have access to it, and it is extremely potent. Save [[Burn]] until after you land Impact as it'll overall lower more INT in that order. It's recommended to pop [[Elemental Seal]] if you have it up before using Impact on the G boss to ensure it lasts the maximum duration.

Zan: /* The removal of Geomancer subjob option from the Community Guide */

==== The removal of Geomancer subjob option from the Community Guide ====
<hr>

The argument for using Geomancer as a subjob for Black Mage in the Community Guide is not constructive for several reasons.

The stats you gain from having an Indicolure spell are minimal because skill only uses your Geomancy skill to calculate the formula. You do not gain a boost from the combined skill of Handbells and Geomancy Skills because there are no handbells that can be used by any job other than GEO. You are not able to cast any Geocolure spells with GEO subbed further limiting your capabilities. Furthermore, any Indicolure Spells that provide a percentage gain oppose to raw number are outweighed by multiple other options from other subjobs.

The argument that GEO provides Conserve MP true either. BLM has access to Conserve MP III at level 86, you do not gain extra from having two jobs with the trait Conserve MP III trait at the same time. While you will gain Conserve MP IV at ML30 from having Geomancer subbed, what other traits, abilities, and spells are you missing out from having another subjob.

Overall, this subjob choice is not a niche style, compared to something like BLM/SAM is. The suggestion of BLM/GEO is not helpful to the community or has any merits to it. It is merely detrimental to those, especially new BLMs as they go through the game.

Please keep your opinions of extremely niche builds and situations out of the Community Guide if you do not want it to be open to criticism or removal.

--[[User:Zan|Zan]] ([[User talk:Zan|talk]]) 15:58, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Agreed, there is essentially zero reason to ever sub GEO on BLM. 3 Conserve MP is nothing compared to the loss of dark arts or refresh and convert. This feels like "it was on AH.com so I put it here."

Citing "solo" or whatever reasons is circular, and isn't some catch-all as it doesn't just inherently validate anything. -- [[User:Spicyryan|Spicyryan]] ([[User talk:Spicyryan|talk]]) 17:09, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

I think the opinion of the guy who vandalized this guide in the first place and deleted ALL the sets is completely worthless. Ryan, if you don't want to be part of the community anymore, then stop being part of the community. This smells like you being territorial over a field that YOU burned down.

Zan, there is literally no good reason to delete content out of a guide that offers an alternative option to players and your opinion on what should be deleted is just that - your opinion. Nowhere in there do I state it's better than any of the other subjobs - in fact, I say the opposite. Criticism is fine but you fail to make an argument why you would not let a reader reach their own conclusion seeing all the data in front of them.

There IS a tiny niche for this, just because it doesn't fit into your meta doesn't mean it doesn't merit a few sentences in a guide.

--[[User:Afraidnot|Afraidnot]] ([[User talk:Afraidnot|talk]]) 13:36, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Bad guidance is bad. Don't deflect.

If something "niche" is outclassed by everything else and is being done just for the sake of it then it is not niche. --[[User:Spicyryan|Spicyryan]] ([[User talk:Spicyryan|talk]]) 17:46, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

<hr>

[[User:Afraidnot|Afraidnot]], you bring up a valid point about not allowing the reader make their own conclusion. I will be putting this in the main page for the reader to make their decision accordingly with the information available. I just hope that you don't remove it from the page either.

--[[User:Zan|Zan]] ([[User talk:Zan|talk]]) 18:08, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

All this talk of /GEO made me think about what other cool stuff BLM can do with subjobs that have been ignored for years. I thought about it a lot, and added what I think /COR can offer. Let me know what you guys think, I'm looking forward to more meta-breaking ideas. [[User:Hya|Hya]] ([[User talk:Hya|talk]]) 18:30, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Where is the /PUP set for BLM? Give the community the guidance it deserves. Stop only pushing effective or META tactics. Think of all the soloing you can do on BLM if you just sub PUP.

Hopefully Afraidnot doesn't remove those like he did the work and views of other people in their edit history of this guide! --[[User:Spicyryan|Spicyryan]] ([[User talk:Spicyryan|talk]]) 18:36, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

So much for letting the reader decide. RIP /COR except if you want to Phantom Roll that's okay I guess. [[User:Chizel|Chizel]] ([[User talk:Chizel|talk]]) 20:06, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Do you guys really want to just troll an attempt to put together resources after Spicyryan nuked this page? I am literally just trying to pool together sets for community use. I really don't understand the enabling of a dude who actively is trying to damage the FFXI community.

--[[User:Afraidnot|Afraidnot]] ([[User talk:Afraidnot|talk]]) 16:09, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

This is a community guide, no one person has the right to arbitrarily remove potentially useful information simply because they don't like a person who shares it. By removing sets or ideas from the guide, you are no better than ryan himself, trying to withhold information from the community. If you disagree with the opinions shared in the guide, that's what the discussion tab is for. If you disagree strongly enough to not reach consensus with the other contributors, consider building your own guide where you can police it as you like. [[User:Hya|Hya]] ([[User talk:Hya|talk]]) 20:13, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

I did reach consensus with Zan, and included his edits, then you and Chisel came in to troll with /PUP and /COR talk to be hyperbolic. There is an extremely wide margin concerning "potentially useful information" on /GEO and on /PUP and it's disingenuous to state otherwise.

--[[User:Afraidnot|Afraidnot]] ([[User talk:Afraidnot|talk]]) 16:15, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Why are we now removing information from the guide instead of presenting it all and allowing the reader to make decisions for themselves? /cor is as valid as /geo. If your stance is to present the information in full, stop removing other people’s contributions.
You also removed edits to place information in more appropriate pages and transclude them back into the guide in the proper place.
If you want to write your very own guide, go write your own guide.
[[User:Dumo|Dumo]] ([[User talk:Dumo|talk]]) 20:23, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

I literally wrote all of the sets in this guide after Spicyryan nuked it. I did that because I don't want or need credit, I just wanted a decent community resource and figured I'd step up instead of complaining. I assume you guys are all in a discord chat together giggling about vandalizing sincere effort, but I'd rather you guys just spend your energy towards contributing real sets instead of being triggered by /GEO.

--[[User:Afraidnot|Afraidnot]] ([[User talk:Afraidnot|talk]]) 16:26, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

We added (your words, not mine) ''extremely situational'' sets adjacent to another ''extremely situational'' set in a ''community guide'' open to contributions by literally '''''Anyone''''' in the ''community''. '''''Unilaterally''''' (again your words) removing work contributed by other members of the community goes as an utter disservice and in complete ignorance of the spirit of this guide, this site, and this community. If you can show that /GEO can be ''extremely situational'' then so too can we show how /COR can be. Pushing Burn might just inch a base damage INT tier over the fence for those low tier nukes. Higher Master Levels also grant Wizard's Roll which can be just as effective to nuking as /GEO can be, along with Gallant's Roll providing just as useful defensive bonuses as /GEO could, I don't see why someone contributing to a BLM guide can't stop to take a look at the merit of a set before blowing it away. Especially given that they're ''extremely situational''. Given that your ''extremely situational'' use was ''"solo"'', I really can't see where /COR sets don't also apply. But hey, Orangeman Bad I guess.

[[User:Chizel|Chizel]] ([[User talk:Chizel|talk]]) 20:33, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Vandalism is a highly disingenuous term to use for this situation. None of your sets have been altered or removed, despite how rarely useful or extremely niche some may be. Everything that you have contributed has been left as-is as far as I can tell. That's all that we are asking for as well. Your work to fill the vacuum left by an egocentric selfish ex-player is appreciated by everyone, I think, but by removing the ideas shared by others you are doing exactly what that person would do. [[User:Hya|Hya]] ([[User talk:Hya|talk]]) 20:38, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Yes, Hya. This is the guide for BLM the community deserves. One which takes GEO or COR sub seriously as something worthwhile to present and doesn't understand shit.

This is why I felt the need to move much of the actually valuable mechanics info from the guide to the INT and Magic Hit Rate pages before transcluding it back in. As the guide is no longer safe for actual information, in true communal fashion. My dig about info being removed above was because Afraid has deleted or altered info before this in the guide while no one was looking. -- [[User:Spicyryan|Spicyryan]] ([[User talk:Spicyryan|talk]]) 20:56, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

: I’d like to offer the following information for the court. On 21:40, 26 June 2024 [[User:Afraidnot|Afraidnot]] made the following comment on the removal of [[User:Spicyryan|Spicyryan’s]] testing. ''”This is a Community Guide, it's not meant to advertise and credithog. People can see contributions thru the history log.”'' Removing the author’s name from this test will later bring to question the legitimacy of the test.

==General Information==

===Roles===
Black Mages are essential for end-game Sortie and extremely helpful for endgame content including Dynamis Divergence and Odyssey Sheol Gaol. BLM is primarily a damage dealer but can save parties in a pinch with a combination of its potent Breakga/Sleepga and Mana Wall to serve as a damage sponge while the rest of the party gets things under control. As a Black Mage, successfully magic bursting (and having the party aligned and able to create the requisite skillchains) is critically important to your damage output. Black mage is one of the most powerful damage dealers in the game when used correctly in the right situations with proper planning and execution.

Black Mage should be expected to:
*Deal elemental damage
**Switching between bursting or free nuking sets.
**Know the elemental weaknesses of the foe.
**Magic Burst, whether solo or coordinating with a group.
**Understanding the gist of magic accuracy and magic damage, detailed in a section below.

*Support
**[[Elemental Debuff]]s - especially [[Burn]] for increasing magic damage for the party - and [[Impact]] are powerful
**Competent curing is very helpful in a pinch, especially if you're running SCH or WHM as a subjob.
**Crowd control with Sleepga, Bind, Stun, and Breakga.
***/SCH provides the potential for Dispelga as well.

*Be frontline or backline
**BLM can and should WS to SC in various situations.
**BLM has Mana Wall, and can use it well.
**BLM has the ability to generate TP without meleeing via [[Occult Acumen]]
**BLM has access to AoE WSs and Spells.
**It is often not appropriate to run just because you have hate.

===Mana Wall===

[[Mana Wall]] should not be ignored - when geared properly, you can be a tanking god for 5 minutes and potentially allow your party to recover or get away safe. The way this ability works, damage against you is halved (after you master, it's reduced by 70%!) and then converted to MP damage instead; this is obviously stupidly powerful with your MP pool but it stacks with other Mana Wall gear and your -Damage Taken gear as well.

Mana Wall caps at 95% potency, meaning that incoming damage is reduced by 95% THEN converted to MP damage.
*By default Mana Wall's ability provides 50% reduction
*When mastered with JP, additional 20% reduction
*[[Taranus's Cape]] from Ambuscade provides another 10% reduction
*[[Wicce Sabots +3]] provides 25% reduction
*[[Archmage's Staff]] Path C provides 20% reduction - as you can see, the SU4 staff suffices as the additional Mana Wall reduction from the SU5 staff is wasted on the cap.

When using Mana Wall, you should ensure your set also has capped -Damage Taken as those stats are accounted for before the conversion to MP damage is calculated. It's also nice to use gear such as [[Archmage's Staff]] and [[Ethereal Earring]] to convert damage to MP, effectively lowering the "damage" even more so.

As an example borrowed from a [https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxi/comments/ztedor/kaumodaki_blm_su%E2%81%B5_staff/j1pzk8h/ very helpful reddit post]:

The Sortie G Boss, Triboulex, uses an ultimate move called '''"Setting the Stage"''' that deals 30,000 damage divided among all party members in range. With only the BLM in range, that 30,000 damage is reduced:
# -DT reduces that 30k damage by ~50% to '''15,000'''
# Mana Wall gear reduces that 15k damage by 95% to '''750''' damage
# That 750 damage is converted to '''-750 MP'''
# If using Archmage's Staff and Ethereal Earring, you receive 7% of that damage back, returning 52 MP so effectively from the entire attack you only took '''698 MP damage.'''

There are big negatives that prevent Mana Wall to be used to fully tank - namely you shed enmity extremely quickly with Mana Wall active, and it's especially tough to hold enemies unless you're super tanking (meaning no other party members are attacking enemies and pulling enmity). It's recommended to use specific +enmity sets for spells like [[Stun]] to pull away NMs and keep your party safe in times of emergency.

Status effects can also still affect you, and Mana Wall is a buff that CAN be dispelled.

==Support Jobs==
{{Guide Support Jobs Table
|Border Color=#51414F
|Support Jobs=
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=SCH
|Notes=Probably the most useful support job overall for Black Mage. Especially when you hit ML10, where you get [[Ebullience]] to boost damage for your bursts. [[Parsimony]] allows for greater MP management, [[Alacrity]] allows for more rapid -ja accumulation or recast spells such as Death or Comet for targets weak to our limited dark nukes, and [[Manifestation]] allows you to cast [[Klimaform]] to your party members and cast single target spells like Aspir as AOEs. 

Dark Arts reduces the cost of, casting time, and recast time of your nukes. It also will improve your C+ Enfeebling Skill to a B+. 
On the flip side Light Arts provides a healing skill you actually need. Meaning you stand a better chance at removing Doom with Cursna. More powerful cures aren't a terrible thing either. 

[[Sublimation]] provides you great MP recovery that could make or break killing a tough Sortie or Odyssey boss, arguably more useful to have a burst of MP accessible than having Refresh cast on you.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=WHM
|Notes=An important sub for not only the White Mage line of spells, especially the eventual Curaga III at ML10, but for Weapon Skills. As this is generally the preferred sub for gaining access to [[Earth Crusher]] and [[Cataclysm]]. 

Otherwise, /WHM gives access to the same enfeebles as /RDM, sans Gravity with more party support. In the form of Barspells, Cuaraga, Haste, -na spells, etc.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=RDM
|Notes=A handy support job for Haste, Flurry, Refresh, Barspells, Silence, Paralyze, Slow, Gravity, Convert, and extra Fast Cast (and by extension extra spell recast). 

Red Mage as a support job feels like a middle ground between the offerings of White Mage and Scholar. However, Convert and Refresh are overshadowed by Dark Arts, Parsimony, and Sublimation of /SCH. Meaning you generally would sub this if you needed the remaining tools it offers over you other subs.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=SAM
|Notes= /SAM is situationally very useful when you'll be spending a significant amount of time in melee, including for soloing. BLM can and should step up to weapon skill and with /SAM, you can pretty consistently self-SC and then magic burst a spell or two (especially recommended for MLing!). This is especially fun with AM3 on Laevateinn where you can three step your own Light or Dark SCs thanks to Hasso. 

While it may seem counter intuitive to cast with Hasso on given the 50% penalty to casting and recasting. You are only likely getting one burst off anyway without a quick magic proc, and [[Elemental Celerity]] helps you to counter the penalty with a desisted Hasso Fast Cast set leveraging it.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=GEO
|Notes= /GEO is not terribly powerful as you can only cast Indi- spells on yourself, not the powerful Geo- spells as SE in their infinite wisdom did not allow any other jobs to equip bells! 

That being said, with a specific gearset you can achieve <s>an addition 88 combined</s> Geomancy + <s>Handbell</s> skill, so even with diminished potency your Indi-spells like Indi-INT (+5 Stat with no ML and fully Meritted Handbell skill) and especially percentage-based spells like Indi-Barrier (roughly 11%) are worth using! 

The only real reason to use /GEO is if you're chasing a set to take advantage of the Empyrean Armor Proc, wherein there is a chance for bonus damage equivalent to double the amount of MP conserved when the "Conserve MP" trait procs (mouthful, I know). At ML 30, you can access to Conserve MP IV, which equates to an extra 3% Conserve MP.

''Note: The stats you gain from having an Indicolure spell are minimal because skill only uses your Geomancy skill to calculate the formula. You do not gain a boost from the combined skill of Handbells and Geomancy Skills because there are no handbells that can be used by any job other than GEO. You are not able to cast any Geocolure spells with GEO subbed further limiting your capabilities. Furthermore, any Indicolure Spells that provide a percentage gain oppose to raw number are outweighed by multiple other options from other subjobs. BLM has access to Conserve MP III at level 86, you do not gain extra from having two jobs with the trait Conserve MP III trait at the same time. While you will gain Conserve MP IV at ML30 from having Geomancer subbed, what other traits, abilities, and spells are you missing out from having another subjob.''

==Understanding Magic==
===Magic Accuracy===
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
*Outside of minor edits please use the discussion page for the guide to discuss any major edits or corrections.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
When it comes to being a BLM it is more an exercise in what you know about the foe and what you know about mechanics than just going boom-booms. It is easier for a DD to flub their way through than for you to. So let's go over the rigamarole so that we might all suck less.

While melee combat skills provide a corresponding boost to accuracy and attack at a rate of less than 1:1. Magic skill+ are a 1:1 skill to accuracy gain, but provide no extra attack.

To determine your magic accuracy total. Add up your elemental skill, magic accuracy skill, magic accuracy+, merits, gifts, food, buffs, debuffs, and then factor in dINT. Which is in the section below.
*A Mastered BLM with a Master Level of 0 will sit at 512 before any equipment or dINT.
:*Adding an Mpaca's Staff R0 would add 40 Magic Accuracy and 255 skill for 807.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
Your hit rate is simply your magic accuracy against the magic evasion of your foe. Magical hit rate caps at 95%. Meaning 5% of the time a player will otherwise be resisted.
*If your magic hit rate is 50% or more then magic accuracy +1 is equivalent to hit rate +1%.
*If your magic hit rate is less than 50% then magic accuracy +1 is equivalent to hit rate +0.5%.
**Any Magic accuracy that raises you to the 50% mark then returns to being 1:1.
***E.g. Your hit rate is 40% and you gain 40 magic accuracy. Your hit rate becomes 60%.
However, the magic evasion of the foe is not actually simple. It is a factor of the foe's magic evasion stat, dINT, the resistance tier of the corresponding element of the foe, and level correction where applicable.
*Thus, there is no single magic accuracy number to cap hit rate for a foe as there would be a physical accuracy.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
INT also plays a role in the magic accuracy of all nukes and INT based enfeebles. The magic accuracy bonus of INT depends on two things:
#dINT, the difference of INT between caster and foe.
#[[Magic Hit Rate]], which we covered, but factors in here.

{| style="width: 100%; max-width: 788px; text-align: center; color: #BDB5D5; background: #1B1212" cellpadding="2"
! colspan="8" | dINT and Magic Accuracy+

| +0
| +0-10
| +10-20
| +20-40
| +40-50
| +50-60
| +60
|}

So, INT has a sweet spot from -10 to +10, but also a no-no spot, and that spot is 70+. Which by that age you don't expect much anyway.
*Ba-dum-tss

Now, once your INT has become magic accuracy it affects your magic hit rate in the same way as above. For example:

Your magic hit rate is 65%.
*dINT is +30, and you gain 19 INT.
:*Your hit rate is now 69%. Nice.
*dINT is -38 and you gain 19 INT.
:*Your hit rate is now 72%.

Your magic hit rate is 45%.
*dINT is -50 and you gain 20 INT.
:*Your hit rate is now 47%.
*dINT is -10 and you gain 20 INT.
:*Your hit rate is now 60%.

WAR (Crawler above) is the most common job in the game, and it is the second lower tier of INT, where PLD (Beetle above) is the lowest ranking of INT. 
This should probably have a table on the [[INT]] page, but for now I will just write it here from highest to lowest.
#BLM
#SMN
#DRK, COR, SCH, THF, RDM
#BRD, BLU, NIN, RUN
#BST, PUP, RNG, SAM, WHM
#DNC, DRG, WAR
#MNK, PLD

<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
The [[Resist]]ance of a foe is the final and most important piece of the puzzle. Not only for magic accuracy, but for damage. Though we will only cover the accuracy portion of that here, just like with INT.

{| style="border: 2px solid #3C6A95; text-align: center; margin: 3px; width: 100%; max-width: 788px;" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"

|}

First, let me just summarize the resist page here in terms of accuracy. Foes have individual resistances to all elements, and these values are tiered out in the table above. A neutral resistance tier is 100%, where as weakness would be anything above that, and vice versa for resitance. 
Any foe with a resistance status of 50% forces a resist. Resists will be either a 1/2 (-50%), 1/4 (-75%), or 1/8th (-87.5%). So a Skeleton for example, has a {{dark}} dark resistance tier of 50%. This means any dark based spell which lands is not going to either be full damage or full duration.

Now, there are two things players can do to change the resistance, [[Rayke]] and [[Skillchain]]s.
*Rayke reduces the resistance tier to the corresponding element by a tier per rune.
:*E.g. a foe has a 30% resistance tier to an element, and three runes of that element are Rayked. The reistance tier is now 60% for the duration of Rayke, which is a big deal.
*Skillchains will temporarily lower the resistance tier of the damage of the skillchain by one tier for the window of it.
:*Magic bursting also adds a speculated +100 accuracy to a spell.
:*See the [[Resist#Modifying Resistance Rank]] for more explanation on how a SC damage type is determined.
::*It is the lowest resistance tier, but this can change depending on other steps involved.
This becomes very applicable with NMs, which can tend to have different resistance values from ordinary foes of the same family or even other NMs. For example, no tier 3 [[Odyssey]] NM in Sheol Gaol has a weakness above 30% unless their aura is on which then changes it to 100% iirc. With their neutral elements being 25% and their opposing element at the lowest 5% tier. 
This means if you fight a foe like Ongo then the magic defense down from [[Vidohunir]] will not land outside of when the aura is on. Same for defense down effect from a weapon skill against [[Xevioso]]. In fact to finish that thought, they will only really stand a chance to land against Mboze unless Rayke is used.

Further, as a BLM you can uniquely bypass some of the hindrance of Resist tiers while under [[Subtle Sorcery]]. It will bypass the forced resists from a tier 50% or less, but will not solve the next component of elemental resistance tiers.

Second, the remaining factor to resistance to account for is the magic accuracy requirements imposed by resistance tiers. Which is not actually on the wiki currently. Not because I am some rumored gate keeper, but because neither I nor anyone else have gotten around to it, and it involves deciphering Japanese testing through google Translate. Not the easiest for sure, but what is clear is that as resistance tiers go lower and resistance to an element goes higher. It imposes a greater magic accuracy requirement to cap hit rate.
*[https://twitter.com/MBZ2arZNkm174sV/status/1292994041722724352?cxt=HHwWgICjmd_O0fEjAAAA Here] is the testing I am referring to, and one which corroborates the INT magic accuracy/Ongo testing from Lutes blog cited at the bottom references on both of those pages.
:*The red text is confirmed, and the black is theorized.
:*This testing lines up with the observable effective magic accuracy required for [[Ongo]], 1,365.
::*Since you are magic bursting, yes, the resistance rank changes from 30% to 40% for the burst window, and changes the accuracy required to 1,222 before counting the +100 from bursting.
:*Accuracy requirements jump steeply below the 30% tier. The table lacks it for Ongo, but I can make an educated guess based on the data there. Which means you need an effective magic accuracy of ~1,710 to land Burn on Ongo, given it's 25% tier to fire.
Now the testing doesn't go past the 20% tier, but it doesn't need to with how steep it gets. So when it comes to nuking, SC dmg, or enfeebling any iLvl foe around the lowest tiers, forget about it unless you throw the kitchen sink at the foe. Which generally isn't practical.

Fortunately, there is a lower magic accuracy requirement for the higher resistance tiers. Let's tie this together with a practical example using a level 139 [[Apex Draugar]]. Which has a resistance tiers of {{fire}} 130%, {{ice}} 70%, and {{dark}} 50%. Spells would cap hit rate at the following:
*{{fire}} 1,102
*{{ice}} 1,204
*{{dark}} 1,295
:*Due to the forced resist, if you casted sleep. Then you will either not land the spell or it will land for a reduced time.

What is cool about all of this this is that outside of anything that lowers your macc or boosts the magic evasion of the foe, you can better figure out or fine tune a set to cap hit rate.

*Values in the table are based off of: [https://sazitouhuu.blogspot.com/2020/06/blog-post_27.html].
**Resistance Ranks are linear per level while the various ranks for that level are exponential increases as resistance increases.
**While working to extrapolate the table further from the source material. I noticed errors and questioned some results. Thus comes in my friend, Fox. Of which this final table is credited to.
***There was not enough data collected for the 20% and 25% ranks, but it is safe to say the curve gets steep.
***Keep in mind, the table is estimated values built off of another table of very well estimated values. Expect that you may possibly be off by ~10 magic accuracy at a given time.

<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
Practical implications of the write up:
*Gear enfeebles like sleep or break with a focus in magic accuracy and enfeebling skill.
*Magic Hit Rate caps at 95%, and a miss is simply a reist, which has various values.
*The value of macc from INT depends on dINT. It can be as large as +1 or as low as +0.
*Resistance Ranks aka Resistance Tiers can dramatically impact magic accuracy.

===Affinity===

Affinity, also referred to as "Elemental Magic Attack Bonus", adds damage in a separate multiplier term from all standard forms of Magic Attack Bonus.

The base value for this term when no Affinity gear is present = 1.0.

For each stat on gear with Elemental affinity listed:
* Damage affinity +1: Affinity = 1.1
* Damage affinity +2: Affinity = 1.15
* Damage affinity +3: Affinity = 1.20
* Damage affinity +4: Affinity = 1.25
* Damage affinity +5: Affinity = 1.30
* Damage affinity +6: Affinity = 1.35

Elemental Magic Attack Bonus from gear is additive with this term. This statistic is found on gear such as [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring]].
* For example, equipping [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] (28%) and [[Archon Ring]] (5%) would make this term = 1.33 for {{dark}} damage.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] uniquely grants this stat for all elements. See its page for details.

Equipment usable by BLM that provides Elemental Magic Attack Bonus include:
* [[Ngqoqwanb]] provides 15% {{Ice}} elemental affinity.
* [[Ossa Grip]] provides 2% {{Ice}} elemental affinity when the user has [[Ice Spikes]] active.
* [[Marin Staff]] and [[Marin Staff +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Wind}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Kaikias' Cape]] provides 4% {{Wind}} elemental affinity.
* [[Quanpur Necklace]] provides 5% {{Earth}} elemental affinity.
* [[Weatherspoon Ring]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Light}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] provides 28% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Archon Ring]] provides 5% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] provides a range of 1-15% elemental affinity bonus for all elements dependent on distance from the target, for a maximum of 15% {{Elements}} elemental affinity if the target is within 1.93' from the player.

Reminder that spells like [[Comet]], [[Impact]], [[Aspir]], and [[Death]] are darkness elemental magic and ARE enhanced by equipment that boosts darkness elemental affinity!

===Cumulative Magic aka -ja Spells===

Cumulative Magic, usually just called "-ja" spells, are a very important part of playing BLM and raising the entire party's damage for a specific element.

Each time a cumulative magic spell is cast, a hidden debuff is placed on the monster which makes the monster take 5% additional damage from damage of that element for 60 seconds. Each successive cast of the same cumulative magic spell on the same target (from any player) will increase this elemental damage boost by an additional 5% of base damage; however, the window is not extended and will end 60 seconds after the first cumulative magic spell hit the monster even if another matching spell is cast, unless you use Empyrean legs (Extends the window all the way to 110 seconds duration if using [[Wicce Chausses +3]]).
*'''The total damage boost caps at 25%.'''

For example, assuming an initial casting damage of 1000 for [[Firaja]], casting [[Firaja]] repeatedly within 60 seconds will result in damage of 1000, 1050, 1100, etc. Other fire damage, such as [[Fire IV]] or [[Wildfire]], will also receive this damage boost (+5%, +10%, etc.) while in effect.

* [[Firaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Fire}} damage per cast
* [[Blizzaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Ice}} damage per cast
* [[Thundaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Thunder}} damage per cast
* [[Aeroja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Wind}} damage per cast
* [[Stoneja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Earth}} damage per cast
* [[Waterja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Water}} damage per cast
* [[Comet]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Dark}} damage per cast

Technically speaking, you only need to have your Empyrean legs equipped on the first cast of Cumulative Magic, but since the [[Wicce Chausses +3]] are BIS for both Free Nuking and Magic Bursting, you don't have to worry much about swapping.

===Death===

[[Death]] is a spell with very different mechanics that are worth knowing more about.

Death has a chance to instantly KO the enemy, though this does not affect NMs. If your enemy is not killed, the damage formula is:

* (Current MP×3 + Magic Damage)×(MAB/MDB)×(Affinity)×(Day/Weather)
** Note that the Magic Damage in the above formula is capped to 32

You need at least 1 MP to cast Death, and using it expends all of your current MP, even if you have Manafont or Manawell up.

Part of the trick to using Death properly is to build specific sets that ensure that you have the highest possible MP prior to use - this is why you'll see BLMs in specific Idle sets that maximize MP, and cast Death using a specific Precast set that retains as much MP as possible so that your MP isn't cut before you even cast the spell.

===Meteor===

Unfortunately, the coolest and most visually spectacular spell that Square-Enix added to the game has very limited use in endgame.

[[Meteor]] is unique in the fact that it's a non-elemental elemental magic spell - meaning that it uses your elemental magic skill to calculate its damage, but it is typeless and cannot be resisted. It does require you to use Elemental Seal before casting, so consider it on a 10-minute cooldown. It also takes eons to cast - consider building a precast set for this spell that crams in as much Quick Magic gear as you can.

* Unlike other nukes, elemental magic skill contributes directly to Meteor base damage, and the damage is independent of the enemy's INT.
** Meteor's base damage can be approximated as: (1+MAB/100)*floor(INT + Elemental Magic Skill/6)*3.5

Meteor is however worth discussing for at least one specific use-case: the Sortie D & H bosses.

If the fight with either of the Sortie D & H bosses go awry, they use a special ability called Vivisection - this is a full dispel on the party that also removes the NM's elemental weakness, meaning that all of your other spells do pitiful damage... with the exception of Meteor, as it's typeless damage! If the boss is low health and gets off Vivisection, consider using Meteor - it could save the run or at least dramatically save time for the fight to recover!

===Impact===

[[Impact]] is a very special spell that can only be cast if you're wearing one of two particular and difficult to acquire pieces of equipment - these cloaks must remain equipped both for the precast and midcast periods:

* [[Twilight Cloak]]
* [[Crepuscular Cloak]] - 119 version so has much higher MACC and stats

Impact is an ALL STATS DOWN debuff on the target that deals dark damage and lowers an enemy's Strength, Dexterity, Vitality, Agility, Intelligence, Mind, and Charisma.

* Each of the target's base stats is reduced by 20% of the value at the time of cast.
** Stat values are snapshotted on cast, so Impact will have the highest potency if applied before other reductions such as [[Elemental Debuff]]s, namely [[Burn]].

As you might imagine, this can be incredibly potent and can dramatically raise damage against certain NMs, in particular the Sortie C and G bosses.

Impact's maximum duration is 3 minutes, though if resisted the duration will be cut drastically. Since this is an elemental magic spell, a combination of elemental magic skill and magic accuracy is highly encouraged to ensure that this great spell lasts as long as possible against foes with high magic evasion. It's worth coordinating with a Red Mage in your party to have them cast Frazzle III on the enemy first before using Impact.

'''Note that ALL of the Empyrean Armor +3 is BIS for Free Nuking not only because of the stats on them but also because of the Empyrean Armor Proc wherein when Conserve MP is proc'd, extra damage is calculated based on double of the MP conserved.'''

===Other Essential BLM Gear===
====Hachirin-no-Obi====
[[Hachirin-no-Obi]] is absolutely essential and it's highly recommended to have your Gearswap LUA automatically equip it while nuking when the weather conditions are met. It's a tremendous damage boost and should be paired with [[Klimaform]] either you cast as /SCH or cast by a SCH in your party.

Weather Damage bonuses are as follows:
*+10% bonus for the element matching the day
*+10% bonus for the element matching single weather
**+20% when both single weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+20% bonus for the element matching single weather and day
**+30% when both single weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+25% bonus for the element matching double weather
**+35% when both double weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+35% bonus for the element matching double weather and day
**+45% when both double weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*The element that is weak to the day/weather can suffer the same percentage as above as a penalty
**e.g. {{Fire}} can get -10% during {{Water}} weather.

==Gearsets==

'''WIP to create new sets and recommendations for subjobs, Ambuscade capes, and other sets. Edits welcome but should not be unilaterally deleted without replacements in place.'''

===Precast Sets===
'''Note: BLMs receive the Elemental Celerity trait, which provides 30% faster casting (38% when mastered) for specifically elemental magic. However, this does NOT grant faster recast after you're done casting this spell. If you'd like to take advantage of this, you can only have 42 Fast Cast in your Elemental Magic Precast set and fill in the other slots with -DT and Magic Evasion gear.'''

*Requires further testing, but the community has theorized that elemental magic skill disproportionately affects the effectiveness of Impact. Aim for maximum magic accuracy and elemental magic skill.
*Impact can also be cast using the non-ilvl Twilight Cloak if you lack access to the Crep Cloak!
*Impact is dark elemental so can be hard to land on certain mobs.

|Equipment Set Notes=
*Fun set to maximize the damage variance from the Empyrean Armor Proc - this set bonus provides a damage buff double to the amount of MP that was conserved. With all Empyrean armor equipped, you have a 25% chance of the proc activating.
*Under ideal circumstances, theoretically you can achieve an average of 56.25% damage buff approx 20% of the time
*You can achieve even more Conserve MP if you happen to be BLM/GEO - it gets an additional tier of the Conserve MP trait.

==Tips and Tricks==
===Sortie===

Black Mages are extremely valuable for Sortie endgame runs and on top of their usual role of Magic Bursting everything into smithereens, compiled below are a few tips for bringing the maximum utility to your team:

* Most endgame Sortie groups split up at the beginning to accomplish objectives and receive Shard Key Items to gain access to Sortie's bosses. In just about all normal Sortie magic runs, the BLM will be solely responsible for accomplishing the A objectives:
** After buffing, run south from the start, pop [[Mana Wall]], and round up 6 Acuex enemies. If you have a good Mana Wall set, you should be able to tank them with ease and lose minimal MP.
** Cast [[Firaja]], [[Firaga III]], and other AOE spells to get the 6 Acuex enemies down to 20% or so HP.
** Do not kill any enemies with AOE spells; instead, swap to single target Fire magic and kill them one by one.
** You should spawn chests containing [[Ra'Kaznar Shard A]] and [[Ra'Kaznar Metal A]], as well as a bonus blue chest that has a chance to drop an Old Case.
** If you are lucky enough to see the roaming NM Obdella, you'll easily be able to tank it in your Mana Wall set and Free Nuke it to death for another chest.
* After A objectives are done, many parties start the boss order with D. If so, keep going south and join the rest of the party at the D boss.
* For all bosses, it's wise to save your SCH a strategem and use [[Manifestation]] and cast [[Klimaform]] on the entire party. Since Klimaform's duration and potency are set, you're better off using it and allowing your SCH to have a better strat economy.
* Specific tips and tricks for each boss:
** D/H bosses change their elemental affinities, so you'll have to quickly cast the opposite element to proc the boss. However, if the boss uses Flaming Kick or Icy Grasp, you CAN and SHOULD land [[Burn]] on the boss to raise the rest of the party's damage. If you are unlucky enough to cause the boss to use Vivisection, you should [[Elemental Seal]] then [[Meteor]] to either finish off the boss or at least speed up the end of the fight.
** A/E bosses are pretty simple and you should just [[Burn]] and burst Fire or Earth spells (up to your party's preference)
** B/F bosses alternate between electric hands (use Earth magic) and wind hands (use Ice magic). Annoying if you lose stacks of your -ja magic when it alternates, just soldier through it.
** C/G bosses are susceptible to [[Impact]] if you have access to it, and it is extremely potent. Save [[Burn]] until after you land Impact as it'll overall lower more INT in that order. It's recommended to pop [[Elemental Seal]] if you have it up before using Impact on the G boss to ensure it lasts the maximum duration.

== Roles ==
:"The ancient geomancers realized that the answer wasn't to control the land ... but rather let themselves be swept up by its current and borrow some of its strength." 
::''~ Sylvie''

A [[Geomancer]] is able to fill the role of support, magic damage dealer, enfeebler, and a secondary healer. In the primary role of support, a Geomancer aids the party with the use of Indicolure and Geocolure spells casting varying buffs and debuffs which can compliment each other and what the content the party is tackling. Indicolure spells are acquired by the use of a plate, similar to a spells scroll, and are either purchased from a vendor, the Auction House, or as a drop from a battlefield. With an indicolure spell geomancers are able to focus themselves as the conduit to emanate a spells effect. As a geomancer develops its own skill their luopan will resonate with the world, and when attuned to its calling, will learn the respective geocolure spell. When the geomancer uses a debuffing colure spell they must be on the enemy's enmity list in order for the spell to take effect. They can achieve this by casting a fast enfeebling spell such as [[Dia]] or [[Diaga]] on the enemy or by healing the tank which is on the enmity list. Failure to do so will result in a debuffing colure spell not to effect the enemy.

Geomancers secondary role is to serve as an magical damage dealer with their elemental magic and their own -ra variant spells which like an indicolure spell, emanates from the geomancer to hit all enemies within range. Through the use of the [[Cardinal Chant]] trait, a geomancer's elemental magic gains a boost based on the geomancer's direction in relation to the target. While their own variants of elemental-ra spells have an increased boost compared to other elemental spells, a geomancer would benefit from using this trait to gain benefits such as increased Magical Critical Rate or a Magical Attack Bonus.

A geomancer has a the same enfeebling magic skill as a [[Black Mage]] and the [[Geomancy Attire Set]] has a significant amount of Magic Accuracy. While they do no have the same amount or calibur of enfeeblings spells as a [[Red Mage]], only having access to [[Sleep]] and [[Sleep II]] natively, they are able to benefit from using the lower tier spells they gain from having a Black Mage or Red Mage as a sub job. Spells such as Gravity or Bind still have a use in all content in the means of crowd control and the increased Magic Accuracy ensures that a Geomancer can aid in landing these spells.

While only having a handful of dark spells, the geomancer has a high skill allowing it to benefit from using Drain and Aspir to quickly regain lost health and mana in order to continue their volley of spell casting. Through the use of having Black Mage as a subjob, Geomancer gains access to Stun allowing for an additional means to block powerful but slow casting spells and TP moves from enemies.

Lastly, while they have no native healing magic skill, a geomancer with either Red Mage, [[White Mage]], or [[Scholar]] as a subjob gains access to various cure spells. A well geared geomancer can aid in battle by using the additional MP they have to heal other front line jobs allowing dedicated healers to either focus on the tank or on removing status aliments form the party.

=== Indicolure ===
<hr style="border-color: darkgoldenrod">
:"Indicolures are self targeted spells which emanate from the Geomancer" 
::''~ Ruaumoko, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk6jqEozWBQ Final Fantasy XI: Geomancer Guide], 2017''

A Geomancer's indicolure spells originate around the caster, or if used with [[Entrust]], around the party member, adding buffs to party members or debuffs to enemies within the indicolure's radius. Indicolure spells are not effected by any abilities except for [[Bolster]] and those used with [[Entrust]] are not granted any Geomancy Potency effects from equipment such as the [[Nepote Bell]] or [[Dunna]]. An indicolure spell could provide an enemy with a debuff such as slow, paralysis, or decrease their attack, but only takes effect if the Geomancer is on the enemy's enmity list. The use of elemental or enfeebling Magic to end up on the enmity list is common practice, or by healing the tank after it establish hate on an enemy. Any party member that is entrusted with an indicolure spell '''must''' also be on the enemy's enmity list in order for the indicolure to effect the enemy.

Initially you can gain up to 42 seconds on top of the 180 second base duration of any Indicolure spell.

|valign="top" align="left" style="width: 33%" style="padding: 5px"|
With an increase of 50 seconds, the duration bonus from the [[Lifestream Cape]] is multiplicative, meaning that you will gain 10% duration from the 230 seconds your Indicolure spells are boosted to, resulting in a 253 seconds (4:13) duration.

|valign="top" align="left" style="width: 33%" style="padding: 5px"|
Once you unlock the [[Idris]], you would only use a [[Solstice]] or [[Gada]] when using [[Entrust]]. [[Pellucid Stone|Pellucid Stones]] and [[Taupe Stone|Taupe Stones]] have a maximum augment of +10% duration while [[Fern Stone|Fern Stones]] have a maximum augment of +11% duration. Even with a 8% duration increase, coupled with the 20% duration increase (maximum augment) on the Lifestream Cape, you can see an Indicolure spell duration of 346 seconds (5:46), assuming you have fully invested in the Indicolure Spell Effect Duration job points.

===Geocolure ===
<hr style="border-color: darkgoldenrod">
All geocolure spells summon a [[Luopan]] which the geocolure effect emanates from. It is important to remember that you will need 900 combined skill for maximum potency, and any additional Geomancy Potency, from pieces such as a Dunna or Idris, are static values regardless of combined skill. When building sets as a new Geomancer, you will have two sets, one casting the geocolure spell, the other when the Luopan summoned. Luopans have a native -50% Damage Taken, so look to maximize the damage taken pieces followed by regen so you Luopan will remains active, achieving the 10 minute time limit.

A Geomancer's abilities effect the Luopan, but [[Bolster]] does not stack with [[Ecliptic Attrition]] or [[Blaze of Glory]].

|valign="top" align="left" style="padding: 5px"| With a base perpetuation cost of 24 HP/tic, your Luopan will last approximately 210 seconds at level 99. Increasing the amount of regen to offset the perpetuation cost will allow the Luopan to remain out before finally despawning after 10 minutes. The Luopan has a base -50% Damage Taken trait like all other pets, and can be increased to the cap of -87.5% Damage Taken.
|valign="top" align="left" style="padding: 5px"| As you slowly work your way through gear progression, the Geomancy Mitaines will remain a staple in your kit until you complete an Idris. These pieces alone, if augmented correctly can give a Luopan an additional -25% Damage Taken and 16 HP/tic Regen. While the Bagua Charm is not necessary as it's Geomancy +5 Effect does not stack with the Dunna's effect, the +6% Absorb Damage chance could be beneficial to some players.
|valign="top" align="left" style="padding: 5px"| With the Idris and Geomancy Mitaines +3, your Luopan will be at the -87.5% Damage Taken cap allowing you to put more pieces with Pet: Regen on, offsetting and possibly negating the perpetuation cost of the Luopan even with [[Ecliptic Attrition]] in effect.

:Red Mage serves as the most common subjob for a geomancer due to the amount of utility it provides. Especially starting off, the ability to [[Convert]] allows for a geomancer to regain MP and being able to rapidly cure themselves to with minimal loss to the regained MP. Debuffs such as Silence and Dispel do not have tiers and will benefit from a geomancer's enfeebling skill. While they have a low enhancing skill, Haste and Refresh are both a set potency largely affected by Enhancing Duration Gear and while not as good as the higher tier spells Red Mages acquire at later levels, these can serve largely to aid when a Red Mage is not in the party/alliance.
* '''Abilities''': Convert
* '''Traits''': Fast Cast II, Magic Attack Bonus II, Magic Defense Bonus II
** Fast Cast III (ML30)

:While using Black Mage as a subjob offers very little from Red Mage for traits, it offers more for in terms of crowd control. Though the high recast time for Stun will not allow for a Geomancer to act as a stun-lock such as Red Mage subbing Black Mage or Dark Knight, it still offers the ability to stop a hard hitting TP Move or spell. Sleepga is always useful for crowd control in content such as Dynamis Divergence and Omen, where large groups of enemies can easily wreck havoc on an inexperience or overly confident group.

:While not a standard subjob, Scholar offers a large amount of utility though it is locked behind the either Light or Dark Arts. Scholar will give Geomancer access to all status removal magic that using White Mage does but Stona. The use of Manifestation allows for Sleep and Sleep II to become Area of Effect debuffs to aid in crowd control and allows Dispel to act as a Dispelga prior to acquiring a Daybreak. While it has lost the use of Refresh, Phalanx, and Haste, it has gained the use of Storm spells giving weather bonus to both Geomancer's native elemental magic and Scholar's healing magic.

:A geomancer which is doing very little to contribute to a party is doing a great disservice to the party and then themselves. A Geomancer sits on a large amount of MP when not in dire need of recasting their colure spells and should be using this to aid the party. Using White Mage as a subjob gives Geomancer access to remove a majority of debuffs effecting the party to include [[Doom]] which can bring down any party, especially if a White Mage is not in the party to remove it themselves.

|valign=top style="border-top: 3px solid; border-color: darkgoldenrod; padding: 10px" colspan=2| The following two subjobs are niche in the implementation. While they are strong options for soloing, allowing the Geomancer to get into the fray, many groups may look down upon them being used without either a strong argument to support their use or an agreement between the Geomancer and the party. The idea is that to provide a Geomancer with the Attack and Accuracy needed to perform well under the circumstance, there is a trade off on the longevity of the Luopan and the Geomancer themself.

:While boosting an impressive amount of skills to add to your kit when soloing, using Ninja for a subjob does not provide the geomancer with a means to heal themselves. There is a time when you may find a purpose to this, such as an occasional Ambuscade fight or when in CP Parties and you have down time to get into the fray, but those times are few and far in between. The lack of skill in Ninjutsu Magic means that most of your damage would be coming from the amount of Magic Attack Bonus from gear or traits, but not enough to use effectively in most endgame content.

|-

:Agreed to be a fun combination, using Dancer as a subjob compared to Ninja has it's trade offs. The higher delay on clubs coupled with the lower Dual Wield trait means a higher focus on dual wield gear costing valuable slots for your accuracy and attack accessories. Using Haste Samba would enable the party to benefit from the 5% Job Ability Haste but depending on your party setup may be unnecessary. The only true benefit this gains over using Ninja is access to Curing Waltz and Healing Waltz allowing for curing potential and status aliment removal. Steps add an additional tool but their use may be a concern if a geomancer does not have the accuracy to successfully land them.

It falls further from favor as a nuking piece if you already have an Amalric Robe +1 or high augments on your Merlinic Jubbah.

|valign="top" align="left" style="width: 25%; padding: 5px"| Your basic Geocolure Idle set, this base set does not assume what gear was previously obtained but looks at what can be easily acquired by soloing with trusts. Any empty space should be filled with Pet Damage Taken or Pet Physical Damage Taken reductions, Pet Regen, then the Geomancer's Damage Taken and Physical Damage Taken. As a new Geomancer, you will not be expected to be in the fray as you are still developing your skills and building your gear.
|valign="top" align="left" style="width: 25%; padding: 5px"| While it is possible to get Telchine Attire Set early compared to some other gear, getting the augments of Pet: -4% Damage Taken and Pet: +3 Regen may be hard to come by. Prioritizing the damage taken on the Nantosuelta's Cape until you can get the -4% Damage Taken for each Telchine Attire piece. If you are able to get those augments, then this set will max both Pet Damage Taken and Pet Regen, allowing for the Luopan to remain for the full 10 minutes unless the damage taken is too much for the Luopan to recover itself. The use of Ecliptic Attrition will burden this set without the use of either [[Dematerialize]] or [[Life Cycle]].

While the [[Bagua Galero +2]] has +500 Luopan HP, the Luopan only gains this HP if the Galero is being worn sacrificing the possible -4% Damage Taken and +3 Regen from the Telchine Cap.

The blend between the two offer a higher degree of survival for both the Geomancer and Luopan.

If you are unable to find anything with Magic Attack Bonus or Magic Accuracy, equip pieces which gives you additional INT. The more INT you have compared to your target, the more damage your spells end up doing.

|valign="top" align="left" style="padding: 5px"| All Merlinic Pieces should have +10 INT, +30 Magic Attack Bonus, and +30 Magic Accuracy on them. While Magic Damage seems beneficial to have, it may not offset the loss in Magic Attack Bonus on a piece. Compared to Amalric Attire +1, the Merlinic Attire Set has significantly less Magic Attack Bonus but a significant amount of Magic Accuracy and Intelligence which will effect a spell's hit and resist rate.

|valign="top" align="left" style="padding: 5px"| The Amalric Doublet +1 and Amalric Gages +1 will add an additional 13 Magic Attack Bonus at the cost of 5 Magic Accuracy and 6 Intelligence. Overall a Geomancer will see better damage numbers with this combination compared to using all Bagua Attire +3. As for the accessories, a Geomancer will want to mix Magic Attack Bonus and Magic Accuracy in order to maximize between the damage dealt and a spell being resisted. There are several pieces that trade a few points of one for the other and can be traded out based on what your group needs.

While not having any native Magic Burst Bonuses a Geomancer is able to equip several piece with Magic Burst Bonus, charging it's nukes when closing Skillchains. The longer the skillchain the more damage the magic burst does, so take advantage of using higher damage nukes to close the bursts at later steps. Through the use of a geomancer's -ra spells as well as haste and fast cast sets, they can double burst bypassing the [[Nuke Wall]] for full damage on two nukes. As a magic burst set is commonly one of the last sets you will be competing, this guide assumes the geomancer is between between the mid and high tiers nuking sets and selects gear and accessories from those above listed sets.

==General Information==

===Roles===
Black Mages are essential for end-game Sortie and extremely helpful for endgame content including Dynamis Divergence and Odyssey Sheol Gaol. BLM is primarily a damage dealer but can save parties in a pinch with a combination of its potent Breakga/Sleepga and Mana Wall to serve as a damage sponge while the rest of the party gets things under control. As a Black Mage, successfully magic bursting (and having the party aligned and able to create the requisite skillchains) is critically important to your damage output. Black mage is one of the most powerful damage dealers in the game when used correctly in the right situations with proper planning and execution.

Black Mage should be expected to:
*Deal elemental damage
**Switching between bursting or free nuking sets.
**Know the elemental weaknesses of the foe.
**Magic Burst, whether solo or coordinating with a group.
**Understanding the gist of magic accuracy and magic damage, detailed in a section below.

*Support
**[[Elemental Debuff]]s - especially [[Burn]] for increasing magic damage for the party - and [[Impact]] are powerful
**Competent curing is very helpful in a pinch, especially if you're running SCH or WHM as a subjob.
**Crowd control with Sleepga, Bind, Stun, and Breakga.
***/SCH provides the potential for Dispelga as well.

*Be frontline or backline
**BLM can and should WS to SC in various situations.
**BLM has Mana Wall, and can use it well.
**BLM has the ability to generate TP without meleeing via [[Occult Acumen]]
**BLM has access to AoE WSs and Spells.
**It is often not appropriate to run just because you have hate.

===Mana Wall===

[[Mana Wall]] should not be ignored - when geared properly, you can be a tanking god for 5 minutes and potentially allow your party to recover or get away safe. The way this ability works, damage against you is halved (after you master, it's reduced by 70%!) and then converted to MP damage instead; this is obviously stupidly powerful with your MP pool but it stacks with other Mana Wall gear and your -Damage Taken gear as well.

Mana Wall caps at 95% potency, meaning that incoming damage is reduced by 95% THEN converted to MP damage.
*By default Mana Wall's ability provides 50% reduction
*When mastered with JP, additional 20% reduction
*[[Taranus's Cape]] from Ambuscade provides another 10% reduction
*[[Wicce Sabots +3]] provides 25% reduction
*[[Archmage's Staff]] Path C provides 20% reduction - as you can see, the SU4 staff suffices as the additional Mana Wall reduction from the SU5 staff is wasted on the cap.

When using Mana Wall, you should ensure your set also has capped -Damage Taken as those stats are accounted for before the conversion to MP damage is calculated. It's also nice to use gear such as [[Archmage's Staff]] and [[Ethereal Earring]] to convert damage to MP, effectively lowering the "damage" even more so.

As an example borrowed from a [https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxi/comments/ztedor/kaumodaki_blm_su%E2%81%B5_staff/j1pzk8h/ very helpful reddit post]:

The Sortie G Boss, Triboulex, uses an ultimate move called '''"Setting the Stage"''' that deals 30,000 damage divided among all party members in range. With only the BLM in range, that 30,000 damage is reduced:
# -DT reduces that 30k damage by ~50% to '''15,000'''
# Mana Wall gear reduces that 15k damage by 95% to '''750''' damage
# That 750 damage is converted to '''-750 MP'''
# If using Archmage's Staff and Ethereal Earring, you receive 7% of that damage back, returning 52 MP so effectively from the entire attack you only took '''698 MP damage.'''

There are big negatives that prevent Mana Wall to be used to fully tank - namely you shed enmity extremely quickly with Mana Wall active, and it's especially tough to hold enemies unless you're super tanking (meaning no other party members are attacking enemies and pulling enmity). It's recommended to use specific +enmity sets for spells like [[Stun]] to pull away NMs and keep your party safe in times of emergency.

Status effects can also still affect you, and Mana Wall is a buff that CAN be dispelled.

==Support Jobs==
{{Guide Support Jobs Table
|Border Color=#51414F
|Support Jobs=
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=SCH
|Notes=Probably the most useful support job overall for Black Mage. Especially when you hit ML10, where you get [[Ebullience]] to boost damage for your bursts. [[Parsimony]] allows for greater MP management, [[Alacrity]] allows for more rapid -ja accumulation or recast spells such as Death or Comet for targets weak to our limited dark nukes, and [[Manifestation]] allows you to cast [[Klimaform]] to your party members and cast single target spells like Aspir as AOEs. 

Dark Arts reduces the cost of, casting time, and recast time of your nukes. It also will improve your C+ Enfeebling Skill to a B+. 
On the flip side Light Arts provides a healing skill you actually need. Meaning you stand a better chance at removing Doom with Cursna. More powerful cures aren't a terrible thing either. 

[[Sublimation]] provides you great MP recovery that could make or break killing a tough Sortie or Odyssey boss, arguably more useful to have a burst of MP accessible than having Refresh cast on you.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=WHM
|Notes=An important sub for not only the White Mage line of spells, especially the eventual Curaga III at ML10, but for Weapon Skills. As this is generally the preferred sub for gaining access to [[Earth Crusher]] and [[Cataclysm]]. 

Otherwise, /WHM gives access to the same enfeebles as /RDM, sans Gravity with more party support. In the form of Barspells, Cuaraga, Haste, -na spells, etc.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=RDM
|Notes=A handy support job for Haste, Flurry, Refresh, Barspells, Silence, Paralyze, Slow, Gravity, Convert, and extra Fast Cast (and by extension extra spell recast). 

Red Mage as a support job feels like a middle ground between the offerings of White Mage and Scholar. However, Convert and Refresh are overshadowed by Dark Arts, Parsimony, and Sublimation of /SCH. Meaning you generally would sub this if you needed the remaining tools it offers over you other subs.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=SAM
|Notes= /SAM is situationally very useful when you'll be spending a significant amount of time in melee, including for soloing. BLM can and should step up to weapon skill and with /SAM, you can pretty consistently self-SC and then magic burst a spell or two (especially recommended for MLing!). This is especially fun with AM3 on Laevateinn where you can three step your own Light or Dark SCs thanks to Hasso. 

While it may seem counter intuitive to cast with Hasso on given the 50% penalty to casting and recasting. You are only likely getting one burst off anyway without a quick magic proc, and [[Elemental Celerity]] helps you to counter the penalty with a desisted Hasso Fast Cast set leveraging it.

==Understanding Magic==
===Magic Accuracy===
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
*Outside of minor edits please use the discussion page for the guide to discuss any major edits or corrections.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
When it comes to being a BLM it is more an exercise in what you know about the foe and what you know about mechanics than just going boom-booms. It is easier for a DD to flub their way through than for you to. So let's go over the rigamarole so that we might all suck less.

While melee combat skills provide a corresponding boost to accuracy and attack at a rate of less than 1:1. Magic skill+ are a 1:1 skill to accuracy gain, but provide no extra attack.

To determine your magic accuracy total. Add up your elemental skill, magic accuracy skill, magic accuracy+, merits, gifts, food, buffs, debuffs, and then factor in dINT. Which is in the section below.
*A Mastered BLM with a Master Level of 0 will sit at 512 before any equipment or dINT.
:*Adding an Mpaca's Staff R0 would add 40 Magic Accuracy and 255 skill for 807.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
Your hit rate is simply your magic accuracy against the magic evasion of your foe. Magical hit rate caps at 95%. Meaning 5% of the time a player will otherwise be resisted.
*If your magic hit rate is 50% or more then magic accuracy +1 is equivalent to hit rate +1%.
*If your magic hit rate is less than 50% then magic accuracy +1 is equivalent to hit rate +0.5%.
**Any Magic accuracy that raises you to the 50% mark then returns to being 1:1.
***E.g. Your hit rate is 40% and you gain 40 magic accuracy. Your hit rate becomes 60%.
However, the magic evasion of the foe is not actually simple. It is a factor of the foe's magic evasion stat, dINT, the resistance tier of the corresponding element of the foe, and level correction where applicable.
*Thus, there is no single magic accuracy number to cap hit rate for a foe as there would be a physical accuracy.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
INT also plays a role in the magic accuracy of all nukes and INT based enfeebles. The magic accuracy bonus of INT depends on two things:
#dINT, the difference of INT between caster and foe.
#[[Magic Hit Rate]], which we covered, but factors in here.

{| style="width: 100%; max-width: 788px; text-align: center; color: #BDB5D5; background: #1B1212" cellpadding="2"
! colspan="8" | dINT and Magic Accuracy+

|- style= "color: #E3DFEE; background: #756464"

|- style= "color: #E3DFEE; background: #756464"

| +0
| +0-10
| +10-20
| +20-40
| +40-50
| +50-60
| +60

So, INT has a sweet spot from -10 to +10, but also a no-no spot, and that spot is 70+. Which by that age you don't expect much anyway.
*Ba-dum-tss

Now, once your INT has become magic accuracy it affects your magic hit rate in the same way as above. For example:

Your magic hit rate is 65%.
*dINT is +30, and you gain 19 INT.
:*Your hit rate is now 69%. Nice.
*dINT is -38 and you gain 19 INT.
:*Your hit rate is now 72%.

Your magic hit rate is 45%.
*dINT is -50 and you gain 20 INT.
:*Your hit rate is now 47%.
*dINT is -10 and you gain 20 INT.
:*Your hit rate is now 60%.

WAR (Crawler above) is the most common job in the game, and it is the second lower tier of INT, where PLD (Beetle above) is the lowest ranking of INT. 
This should probably have a table on the [[INT]] page, but for now I will just write it here from highest to lowest.
#BLM
#SMN
#DRK, COR, SCH, THF, RDM
#BRD, BLU, NIN, RUN
#BST, PUP, RNG, SAM, WHM

The [[Resist]]ance of a foe is the final and most important piece of the puzzle. Not only for magic accuracy, but for damage. Though we will only cover the accuracy portion of that here, just like with INT.

First, let me just summarize the resist page here in terms of accuracy. Foes have individual resistances to all elements, and these values are tiered out in the table above. A neutral resistance tier is 100%, where as weakness would be anything above that, and vice versa for resitance. 
Any foe with a resistance status of 50% forces a resist. Resists will be either a 1/2 (-50%), 1/4 (-75%), or 1/8th (-87.5%). So a Skeleton for example, has a {{dark}} dark resistance tier of 50%. This means any dark based spell which lands is not going to either be full damage or full duration.

Now, there are two things players can do to change the resistance, [[Rayke]] and [[Skillchain]]s.
*Rayke reduces the resistance tier to the corresponding element by a tier per rune.
:*E.g. a foe has a 30% resistance tier to an element, and three runes of that element are Rayked. The reistance tier is now 60% for the duration of Rayke, which is a big deal.
*Skillchains will temporarily lower the resistance tier of the damage of the skillchain by one tier for the window of it.
:*Magic bursting also adds a speculated +100 accuracy to a spell.
:*See the [[Resist#Modifying Resistance Rank]] for more explanation on how a SC damage type is determined.
::*It is the lowest resistance tier, but this can change depending on other steps involved.
This becomes very applicable with NMs, which can tend to have different resistance values from ordinary foes of the same family or even other NMs. For example, no tier 3 [[Odyssey]] NM in Sheol Gaol has a weakness above 30% unless their aura is on which then changes it to 100% iirc. With their neutral elements being 25% and their opposing element at the lowest 5% tier. 
This means if you fight a foe like Ongo then the magic defense down from [[Vidohunir]] will not land outside of when the aura is on. Same for defense down effect from a weapon skill against [[Xevioso]]. In fact to finish that thought, they will only really stand a chance to land against Mboze unless Rayke is used.

Further, as a BLM you can uniquely bypass some of the hindrance of Resist tiers while under [[Subtle Sorcery]]. It will bypass the forced resists from a tier 50% or less, but will not solve the next component of elemental resistance tiers.

Second, the remaining factor to resistance to account for is the magic accuracy requirements imposed by resistance tiers. Which is not actually on the wiki currently. Not because I am some rumored gate keeper, but because neither I nor anyone else have gotten around to it, and it involves deciphering Japanese testing through google Translate. Not the easiest for sure, but what is clear is that as resistance tiers go lower and resistance to an element goes higher. It imposes a greater magic accuracy requirement to cap hit rate.
*[https://twitter.com/MBZ2arZNkm174sV/status/1292994041722724352?cxt=HHwWgICjmd_O0fEjAAAA Here] is the testing I am referring to, and one which corroborates the INT magic accuracy/Ongo testing from Lutes blog cited at the bottom references on both of those pages.
:*The red text is confirmed, and the black is theorized.
:*This testing lines up with the observable effective magic accuracy required for [[Ongo]], 1,365.
::*Since you are magic bursting, yes, the resistance rank changes from 30% to 40% for the burst window, and changes the accuracy required to 1,222 before counting the +100 from bursting.
:*Accuracy requirements jump steeply below the 30% tier. The table lacks it for Ongo, but I can make an educated guess based on the data there. Which means you need an effective magic accuracy of ~1,710 to land Burn on Ongo, given it's 25% tier to fire.
Now the testing doesn't go past the 20% tier, but it doesn't need to with how steep it gets. So when it comes to nuking, SC dmg, or enfeebling any iLvl foe around the lowest tiers, forget about it unless you throw the kitchen sink at the foe. Which generally isn't practical.

Fortunately, there is a lower magic accuracy requirement for the higher resistance tiers. Let's tie this together with a practical example using a level 139 [[Apex Draugar]]. Which has a resistance tiers of {{fire}} 130%, {{ice}} 70%, and {{dark}} 50%. Spells would cap hit rate at the following:
*{{fire}} 1,102
*{{ice}} 1,204
*{{dark}} 1,295
:*Due to the forced resist, if you casted sleep. Then you will either not land the spell or it will land for a reduced time.

What is cool about all of this this is that outside of anything that lowers your macc or boosts the magic evasion of the foe, you can better figure out or fine tune a set to cap hit rate.

*Values in the table are based off of: [https://sazitouhuu.blogspot.com/2020/06/blog-post_27.html].
**Resistance Ranks are linear per level while the various ranks for that level are exponential increases as resistance increases.
**While working to extrapolate the table further from the source material. I noticed errors and questioned some results. Thus comes in my friend, Fox. Of which this final table is credited to.
***There was not enough data collected for the 20% and 25% ranks, but it is safe to say the curve gets steep.
***Keep in mind, the table is estimated values built off of another table of very well estimated values. Expect that you may possibly be off by ~10 magic accuracy at a given time.

<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
Practical implications of the write up:
*Gear enfeebles like sleep or break with a focus in magic accuracy and enfeebling skill.
*Magic Hit Rate caps at 95%, and a miss is simply a reist, which has various values.
*The value of macc from INT depends on dINT. It can be as large as +1 or as low as +0.
*Resistance Ranks aka Resistance Tiers can dramatically impact magic accuracy.

===Affinity===

Affinity, also referred to as "Elemental Magic Attack Bonus", adds damage in a separate multiplier term from all standard forms of Magic Attack Bonus.

The base value for this term when no Affinity gear is present = 1.0.

For each stat on gear with Elemental affinity listed:
* Damage affinity +1: Affinity = 1.1
* Damage affinity +2: Affinity = 1.15
* Damage affinity +3: Affinity = 1.20
* Damage affinity +4: Affinity = 1.25
* Damage affinity +5: Affinity = 1.30
* Damage affinity +6: Affinity = 1.35

Elemental Magic Attack Bonus from gear is additive with this term. This statistic is found on gear such as [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring]].
* For example, equipping [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] (28%) and [[Archon Ring]] (5%) would make this term = 1.33 for {{dark}} damage.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] uniquely grants this stat for all elements. See its page for details.

Equipment usable by BLM that provides Elemental Magic Attack Bonus include:
* [[Ngqoqwanb]] provides 15% {{Ice}} elemental affinity.
* [[Ossa Grip]] provides 2% {{Ice}} elemental affinity when the user has [[Ice Spikes]] active.
* [[Marin Staff]] and [[Marin Staff +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Wind}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Kaikias' Cape]] provides 4% {{Wind}} elemental affinity.
* [[Quanpur Necklace]] provides 5% {{Earth}} elemental affinity.
* [[Weatherspoon Ring]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Light}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] provides 28% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Archon Ring]] provides 5% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] provides a range of 1-15% elemental affinity bonus for all elements dependent on distance from the target, for a maximum of 15% {{Elements}} elemental affinity if the target is within 1.93' from the player.

Reminder that spells like [[Comet]], [[Impact]], [[Aspir]], and [[Death]] are darkness elemental magic and ARE enhanced by equipment that boosts darkness elemental affinity!

===Cumulative Magic aka -ja Spells===

Cumulative Magic, usually just called "-ja" spells, are a very important part of playing BLM and raising the entire party's damage for a specific element.

Each time a cumulative magic spell is cast, a hidden debuff is placed on the monster which makes the monster take 5% additional damage from damage of that element for 60 seconds. Each successive cast of the same cumulative magic spell on the same target (from any player) will increase this elemental damage boost by an additional 5% of base damage; however, the window is not extended and will end 60 seconds after the first cumulative magic spell hit the monster even if another matching spell is cast, unless you use Empyrean legs (Extends the window all the way to 110 seconds duration if using [[Wicce Chausses +3]]).
*'''The total damage boost caps at 25%.'''

For example, assuming an initial casting damage of 1000 for [[Firaja]], casting [[Firaja]] repeatedly within 60 seconds will result in damage of 1000, 1050, 1100, etc. Other fire damage, such as [[Fire IV]] or [[Wildfire]], will also receive this damage boost (+5%, +10%, etc.) while in effect.

* [[Firaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Fire}} damage per cast
* [[Blizzaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Ice}} damage per cast
* [[Thundaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Thunder}} damage per cast
* [[Aeroja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Wind}} damage per cast
* [[Stoneja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Earth}} damage per cast
* [[Waterja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Water}} damage per cast
* [[Comet]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Dark}} damage per cast

Technically speaking, you only need to have your Empyrean legs equipped on the first cast of Cumulative Magic, but since the [[Wicce Chausses +3]] are BIS for both Free Nuking and Magic Bursting, you don't have to worry much about swapping.

===Death===

[[Death]] is a spell with very different mechanics that are worth knowing more about.

Death has a chance to instantly KO the enemy, though this does not affect NMs. If your enemy is not killed, the damage formula is:

* (Current MP×3 + Magic Damage)×(MAB/MDB)×(Affinity)×(Day/Weather)
** Note that the Magic Damage in the above formula is capped to 32

You need at least 1 MP to cast Death, and using it expends all of your current MP, even if you have Manafont or Manawell up.

Part of the trick to using Death properly is to build specific sets that ensure that you have the highest possible MP prior to use - this is why you'll see BLMs in specific Idle sets that maximize MP, and cast Death using a specific Precast set that retains as much MP as possible so that your MP isn't cut before you even cast the spell.

===Meteor===

Unfortunately, the coolest and most visually spectacular spell that Square-Enix added to the game has very limited use in endgame.

[[Meteor]] is unique in the fact that it's a non-elemental elemental magic spell - meaning that it uses your elemental magic skill to calculate its damage, but it is typeless and cannot be resisted. It does require you to use Elemental Seal before casting, so consider it on a 10-minute cooldown. It also takes eons to cast - consider building a precast set for this spell that crams in as much Quick Magic gear as you can.

* Unlike other nukes, elemental magic skill contributes directly to Meteor base damage, and the damage is independent of the enemy's INT.
** Meteor's base damage can be approximated as: (1+MAB/100)*floor(INT + Elemental Magic Skill/6)*3.5

Meteor is however worth discussing for at least one specific use-case: the Sortie D & H bosses.

If the fight with either of the Sortie D & H bosses go awry, they use a special ability called Vivisection - this is a full dispel on the party that also removes the NM's elemental weakness, meaning that all of your other spells do pitiful damage... with the exception of Meteor, as it's typeless damage! If the boss is low health and gets off Vivisection, consider using Meteor - it could save the run or at least dramatically save time for the fight to recover!

===Impact===

[[Impact]] is a very special spell that can only be cast if you're wearing one of two particular and difficult to acquire pieces of equipment - these cloaks must remain equipped both for the precast and midcast periods:

* [[Twilight Cloak]]
* [[Crepuscular Cloak]] - 119 version so has much higher MACC and stats

Impact is an ALL STATS DOWN debuff on the target that deals dark damage and lowers an enemy's Strength, Dexterity, Vitality, Agility, Intelligence, Mind, and Charisma.

* Each of the target's base stats is reduced by 20% of the value at the time of cast.
** Stat values are snapshotted on cast, so Impact will have the highest potency if applied before other reductions such as [[Elemental Debuff]]s, namely [[Burn]].

As you might imagine, this can be incredibly potent and can dramatically raise damage against certain NMs, in particular the Sortie C and G bosses.

Impact's maximum duration is 3 minutes, though if resisted the duration will be cut drastically. Since this is an elemental magic spell, a combination of elemental magic skill and magic accuracy is highly encouraged to ensure that this great spell lasts as long as possible against foes with high magic evasion. It's worth coordinating with a Red Mage in your party to have them cast Frazzle III on the enemy first before using Impact.

===Other Essential BLM Gear===
====Hachirin-no-Obi====
[[Hachirin-no-Obi]] is absolutely essential and it's highly recommended to have your Gearswap LUA automatically equip it while nuking when the weather conditions are met. It's a tremendous damage boost and should be paired with [[Klimaform]] either you cast as /SCH or cast by a SCH in your party.

Weather Damage bonuses are as follows:
*+10% bonus for the element matching the day
*+10% bonus for the element matching single weather
**+20% when both single weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+20% bonus for the element matching single weather and day
**+30% when both single weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+25% bonus for the element matching double weather
**+35% when both double weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+35% bonus for the element matching double weather and day
**+45% when both double weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*The element that is weak to the day/weather can suffer the same percentage as above as a penalty
**e.g. {{Fire}} can get -10% during {{Water}} weather.

*First real benchmark to aim for, assuming you can grind up in Ambuscade for a nice cape and pieces of armor.
*If you lack access to the Avatar Prime fights, you can use Witchstone instead
*Archmage's Gloves +1 (Relic Hands) are certainly better, but since you don't really need the +3 for endgame up to you if you want to invest to making these.

*With AM3, you'll want as much Accuracy and STP as you can muster. Other Telchine pieces can be used over the Wicce +3 pieces for more STP if you don't need as much accuracy as what's listed here.
*If you chose a different TVR ring from Lehko's, substitute with [[Petrov Ring]] or another [[Chirich Ring +1]], and importantly you should use [[Gazu Bracelets +1]] fully augmented if you do not have Lehko's to cap haste.
*The ambuscade back augment shows PDT -10% rather than DT -5% because shell grants varying levels of MDT-, up to 29% with [[Shell V]]. That means with Shell V, you only need MDT -21% to reach the MDT cap of -50%.

==Tips and Tricks==
===Sortie===

Black Mages are extremely valuable for Sortie endgame runs and on top of their usual role of Magic Bursting everything into smithereens, compiled below are a few tips for bringing the maximum utility to your team:

* Most endgame Sortie groups split up at the beginning to accomplish objectives and receive Shard Key Items to gain access to Sortie's bosses. In just about all normal Sortie magic runs, the BLM will be solely responsible for accomplishing the A objectives:
** After buffing, run south from the start, pop [[Mana Wall]], and round up 6 Acuex enemies. If you have a good Mana Wall set, you should be able to tank them with ease and lose minimal MP.
** Cast [[Firaja]], [[Firaga III]], and other AOE spells to get the 6 Acuex enemies down to 20% or so HP.
** Do not kill any enemies with AOE spells; instead, swap to single target Fire magic and kill them one by one.
** You should spawn chests containing [[Ra'Kaznar Shard A]] and [[Ra'Kaznar Metal A]], as well as a bonus blue chest that has a chance to drop an Old Case.
** If you are lucky enough to see the roaming NM Obdella, you'll easily be able to tank it in your Mana Wall set and Free Nuke it to death for another chest.
* After A objectives are done, many parties start the boss order with D. If so, keep going south and join the rest of the party at the D boss.
* For all bosses, it's wise to save your SCH a strategem and use [[Manifestation]] and cast [[Klimaform]] on the entire party. Since Klimaform's duration and potency are set, you're better off using it and allowing your SCH to have a better strat economy.
* Specific tips and tricks for each boss:
** D/H bosses change their elemental affinities, so you'll have to quickly cast the opposite element to proc the boss. However, if the boss uses Flaming Kick or Icy Grasp, you CAN and SHOULD land [[Burn]] on the boss to raise the rest of the party's damage. If you are unlucky enough to cause the boss to use Vivisection, you should [[Elemental Seal]] then [[Meteor]] to either finish off the boss or at least speed up the end of the fight.
** A/E bosses are pretty simple and you should just [[Burn]] and burst Fire or Earth spells (up to your party's preference)
** B/F bosses alternate between electric hands (use Earth magic) and wind hands (use Ice magic). Annoying if you lose stacks of your -ja magic when it alternates, just soldier through it.
** C/G bosses are susceptible to [[Impact]] if you have access to it, and it is extremely potent. Save [[Burn]] until after you land Impact as it'll overall lower more INT in that order. It's recommended to pop [[Elemental Seal]] if you have it up before using Impact on the G boss to ensure it lasts the maximum duration.

==General Information==

===Roles===
Black Mages are essential for end-game Sortie and extremely helpful for endgame content including Dynamis Divergence and Odyssey Sheol Gaol. BLM is primarily a damage dealer but can save parties in a pinch with a combination of its potent Breakga/Sleepga and Mana Wall to serve as a damage sponge while the rest of the party gets things under control. As a Black Mage, successfully magic bursting (and having the party aligned and able to create the requisite skillchains) is critically important to your damage output. Black mage is one of the most powerful damage dealers in the game when used correctly in the right situations with proper planning and execution.

Black Mage should be expected to:
*Deal elemental damage
**Switching between bursting or free nuking sets.
**Know the elemental weaknesses of the foe.
**Magic Burst, whether solo or coordinating with a group.
**Understanding the gist of magic accuracy and magic damage, detailed in a section below.

*Support
**[[Elemental Debuff]]s - especially [[Burn]] for increasing magic damage for the party - and [[Impact]] are powerful
**Competent curing is very helpful in a pinch, especially if you're running SCH or WHM as a subjob.
**Crowd control with Sleepga, Bind, Stun, and Breakga.
***/SCH provides the potential for Dispelga as well.

*Be frontline or backline
**BLM can and should WS to SC in various situations.
**BLM has Mana Wall, and can use it well.
**BLM has the ability to generate TP without meleeing via [[Occult Acumen]]
**BLM has access to AoE WSs and Spells.
**It is often not appropriate to run just because you have hate.

===Mana Wall===

[[Mana Wall]] should not be ignored - when geared properly, you can be a tanking god for 5 minutes and potentially allow your party to recover or get away safe. The way this ability works, damage against you is halved (after you master, it's reduced by 70%!) and then converted to MP damage instead; this is obviously stupidly powerful with your MP pool but it stacks with other Mana Wall gear and your -Damage Taken gear as well.

Mana Wall caps at 95% potency, meaning that incoming damage is reduced by 95% THEN converted to MP damage.
*By default Mana Wall's ability provides 50% reduction
*When mastered with JP, additional 20% reduction
*[[Taranus's Cape]] from Ambuscade provides another 10% reduction
*[[Wicce Sabots +3]] provides 25% reduction
*[[Archmage's Staff]] Path C provides 20% reduction - as you can see, the SU4 staff suffices as the additional Mana Wall reduction from the SU5 staff is wasted on the cap.

When using Mana Wall, you should ensure your set also has capped -Damage Taken as those stats are accounted for before the conversion to MP damage is calculated. It's also nice to use gear such as [[Archmage's Staff]] and [[Ethereal Earring]] to convert damage to MP, effectively lowering the "damage" even more so.

As an example borrowed from a [https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxi/comments/ztedor/kaumodaki_blm_su%E2%81%B5_staff/j1pzk8h/ very helpful reddit post]:

The Sortie G Boss, Triboulex, uses an ultimate move called '''"Setting the Stage"''' that deals 30,000 damage divided among all party members in range. With only the BLM in range, that 30,000 damage is reduced:
# -DT reduces that 30k damage by ~50% to '''15,000'''
# Mana Wall gear reduces that 15k damage by 95% to '''750''' damage
# That 750 damage is converted to '''-750 MP'''
# If using Archmage's Staff and Ethereal Earring, you receive 7% of that damage back, returning 52 MP so effectively from the entire attack you only took '''698 MP damage.'''

There are big negatives that prevent Mana Wall to be used to fully tank - namely you shed enmity extremely quickly with Mana Wall active, and it's especially tough to hold enemies unless you're super tanking (meaning no other party members are attacking enemies and pulling enmity). It's recommended to use specific +enmity sets for spells like [[Stun]] to pull away NMs and keep your party safe in times of emergency.

Status effects can also still affect you, and Mana Wall is a buff that CAN be dispelled.

|Job=SCH
|Notes=Probably the most useful support job overall for Black Mage. Especially when you hit ML10, where you get [[Ebullience]] to boost damage for your bursts. [[Parsimony]] allows for greater MP management, [[Alacrity]] allows for more rapid -ja accumulation or recast spells such as Death or Comet for targets weak to our limited dark nukes, and [[Manifestation]] allows you to cast [[Klimaform]] to your party members and cast single target spells like Aspir as AOEs. 

Dark Arts reduces the cost of, casting time, and recast time of your nukes. It also will improve your C+ Enfeebling Skill to a B+. 
On the flip side Light Arts provides a healing skill you actually need. Meaning you stand a better chance at removing Doom with Cursna. More powerful cures aren't a terrible thing either. 

[[Sublimation]] provides you great MP recovery that could make or break killing a tough Sortie or Odyssey boss, arguably more useful to have a burst of MP accessible than having Refresh cast on you.

|Notes=An important sub for not only the White Mage line of spells, especially the eventual Curaga III at ML10, but for Weapon Skills. As this is generally the preferred sub for gaining access to [[Earth Crusher]] and [[Cataclysm]]. 

Otherwise, /WHM gives access to the same enfeebles as /RDM, sans Gravity with more party support. In the form of Barspells, Cuaraga, Haste, -na spells, etc.

|Job=RDM
|Notes=A handy support job for Haste, Flurry, Refresh, Barspells, Silence, Paralyze, Slow, Gravity, Convert, and extra Fast Cast (and by extension extra spell recast). 

Red Mage as a support job feels like a middle ground between the offerings of White Mage and Scholar. However, Convert and Refresh are overshadowed by Dark Arts, Parsimony, and Sublimation of /SCH. Meaning you generally would sub this if you needed the remaining tools it offers over you other subs.

{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=SAM
|Notes= /SAM is situationally very useful when you'll be spending a significant amount of time in melee, including for soloing. BLM can and should step up to weapon skill and with /SAM, you can pretty consistently self-SC and then magic burst a spell or two (especially recommended for MLing!). This is especially fun with AM3 on Laevateinn where you can three step your own Light or Dark SCs thanks to Hasso. 

While it may seem counter intuitive to cast with Hasso on given the 50% penalty to casting and recasting. You are only likely getting one burst off anyway without a quick magic proc, and [[Elemental Celerity]] helps you to counter the penalty with a desisted Hasso Fast Cast set leveraging it.

==Understanding Magic==
===Magic Accuracy===
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
*Outside of minor edits please use the discussion page for the guide to discuss any major edits or corrections.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
When it comes to being a BLM it is more an exercise in what you know about the foe and what you know about mechanics than just going boom-booms. It is easier for a DD to flub their way through than for you to. So let's go over the rigamarole so that we might all suck less.

While melee combat skills provide a corresponding boost to accuracy and attack at a rate of less than 1:1. Magic skill+ are a 1:1 skill to accuracy gain, but provide no extra attack.

To determine your magic accuracy total. Add up your elemental skill, magic accuracy skill, magic accuracy+, merits, gifts, food, buffs, debuffs, and then factor in dINT. Which is in the section below.
*A Mastered BLM with a Master Level of 0 will sit at 512 before any equipment or dINT.
:*Adding an Mpaca's Staff R0 would add 40 Magic Accuracy and 255 skill for 807.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
Your hit rate is simply your magic accuracy against the magic evasion of your foe. Magical hit rate caps at 95%. Meaning 5% of the time a player will otherwise be resisted.
*If your magic hit rate is 50% or more then magic accuracy +1 is equivalent to hit rate +1%.
*If your magic hit rate is less than 50% then magic accuracy +1 is equivalent to hit rate +0.5%.
**Any Magic accuracy that raises you to the 50% mark then returns to being 1:1.
***E.g. Your hit rate is 40% and you gain 40 magic accuracy. Your hit rate becomes 60%.
However, the magic evasion of the foe is not actually simple. It is a factor of the foe's magic evasion stat, dINT, the resistance tier of the corresponding element of the foe, and level correction where applicable.
*Thus, there is no single magic accuracy number to cap hit rate for a foe as there would be a physical accuracy.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
INT also plays a role in the magic accuracy of all nukes and INT based enfeebles. The magic accuracy bonus of INT depends on two things:
#dINT, the difference of INT between caster and foe.
#[[Magic Hit Rate]], which we covered, but factors in here.

{| style="width: 100%; max-width: 788px; text-align: center; color: #BDB5D5; background: #1B1212" cellpadding="2"

| +20-40
| +40-50
| +50-60
| +60
|}

So, INT has a sweet spot from -10 to +10, but also a no-no spot, and that spot is 70+. Which by that age you don't expect much anyway.
*Ba-dum-tss

Now, once your INT has become magic accuracy it affects your magic hit rate in the same way as above. For example:

Your magic hit rate is 65%.
*dINT is +30, and you gain 19 INT.
:*Your hit rate is now 69%. Nice.
*dINT is -38 and you gain 19 INT.
:*Your hit rate is now 72%.

Your magic hit rate is 45%.
*dINT is -50 and you gain 20 INT.
:*Your hit rate is now 47%.
*dINT is -10 and you gain 20 INT.
:*Your hit rate is now 60%.

WAR (Crawler above) is the most common job in the game, and it is the second lower tier of INT, where PLD (Beetle above) is the lowest ranking of INT. 
This should probably have a table on the [[INT]] page, but for now I will just write it here from highest to lowest.
#BLM
#SMN
#DRK, COR, SCH, THF, RDM
#BRD, BLU, NIN, RUN
#BST, PUP, RNG, SAM, WHM
#DNC, DRG, WAR
#MNK, PLD

<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
The [[Resist]]ance of a foe is the final and most important piece of the puzzle. Not only for magic accuracy, but for damage. Though we will only cover the accuracy portion of that here, just like with INT.

|}

First, let me just summarize the resist page here in terms of accuracy. Foes have individual resistances to all elements, and these values are tiered out in the table above. A neutral resistance tier is 100%, where as weakness would be anything above that, and vice versa for resitance. 
Any foe with a resistance status of 50% forces a resist. Resists will be either a 1/2 (-50%), 1/4 (-75%), or 1/8th (-87.5%). So a Skeleton for example, has a {{dark}} dark resistance tier of 50%. This means any dark based spell which lands is not going to either be full damage or full duration.

Now, there are two things players can do to change the resistance, [[Rayke]] and [[Skillchain]]s.
*Rayke reduces the resistance tier to the corresponding element by a tier per rune.
:*E.g. a foe has a 30% resistance tier to an element, and three runes of that element are Rayked. The reistance tier is now 60% for the duration of Rayke, which is a big deal.
*Skillchains will temporarily lower the resistance tier of the damage of the skillchain by one tier for the window of it.
:*Magic bursting also adds a speculated +100 accuracy to a spell.
:*See the [[Resist#Modifying Resistance Rank]] for more explanation on how a SC damage type is determined.
::*It is the lowest resistance tier, but this can change depending on other steps involved.
This becomes very applicable with NMs, which can tend to have different resistance values from ordinary foes of the same family or even other NMs. For example, no tier 3 [[Odyssey]] NM in Sheol Gaol has a weakness above 30% unless their aura is on which then changes it to 100% iirc. With their neutral elements being 25% and their opposing element at the lowest 5% tier. 
This means if you fight a foe like Ongo then the magic defense down from [[Vidohunir]] will not land outside of when the aura is on. Same for defense down effect from a weapon skill against [[Xevioso]]. In fact to finish that thought, they will only really stand a chance to land against Mboze unless Rayke is used.

Further, as a BLM you can uniquely bypass some of the hindrance of Resist tiers while under [[Subtle Sorcery]]. It will bypass the forced resists from a tier 50% or less, but will not solve the next component of elemental resistance tiers.

Second, the remaining factor to resistance to account for is the magic accuracy requirements imposed by resistance tiers. Which is not actually on the wiki currently. Not because I am some rumored gate keeper, but because neither I nor anyone else have gotten around to it, and it involves deciphering Japanese testing through google Translate. Not the easiest for sure, but what is clear is that as resistance tiers go lower and resistance to an element goes higher. It imposes a greater magic accuracy requirement to cap hit rate.
*[https://twitter.com/MBZ2arZNkm174sV/status/1292994041722724352?cxt=HHwWgICjmd_O0fEjAAAA Here] is the testing I am referring to, and one which corroborates the INT magic accuracy/Ongo testing from Lutes blog cited at the bottom references on both of those pages.
:*The red text is confirmed, and the black is theorized.
:*This testing lines up with the observable effective magic accuracy required for [[Ongo]], 1,365.
::*Since you are magic bursting, yes, the resistance rank changes from 30% to 40% for the burst window, and changes the accuracy required to 1,222 before counting the +100 from bursting.
:*Accuracy requirements jump steeply below the 30% tier. The table lacks it for Ongo, but I can make an educated guess based on the data there. Which means you need an effective magic accuracy of ~1,710 to land Burn on Ongo, given it's 25% tier to fire.
Now the testing doesn't go past the 20% tier, but it doesn't need to with how steep it gets. So when it comes to nuking, SC dmg, or enfeebling any iLvl foe around the lowest tiers, forget about it unless you throw the kitchen sink at the foe. Which generally isn't practical.

Fortunately, there is a lower magic accuracy requirement for the higher resistance tiers. Let's tie this together with a practical example using a level 139 [[Apex Draugar]]. Which has a resistance tiers of {{fire}} 130%, {{ice}} 70%, and {{dark}} 50%. Spells would cap hit rate at the following:
*{{fire}} 1,102
*{{ice}} 1,204
*{{dark}} 1,295
:*Due to the forced resist, if you casted sleep. Then you will either not land the spell or it will land for a reduced time.

What is cool about all of this this is that outside of anything that lowers your macc or boosts the magic evasion of the foe, you can better figure out or fine tune a set to cap hit rate.

*Values in the table are based off of: [https://sazitouhuu.blogspot.com/2020/06/blog-post_27.html].
**Resistance Ranks are linear per level while the various ranks for that level are exponential increases as resistance increases.
**While working to extrapolate the table further from the source material. I noticed errors and questioned some results. Thus comes in my friend, Fox. Of which this final table is credited to.
***There was not enough data collected for the 20% and 25% ranks, but it is safe to say the curve gets steep.
***Keep in mind, the table is estimated values built off of another table of very well estimated values. Expect that you may possibly be off by ~10 magic accuracy at a given time.

<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
Practical implications of the write up:
*Gear enfeebles like sleep or break with a focus in magic accuracy and enfeebling skill.
*Magic Hit Rate caps at 95%, and a miss is simply a reist, which has various values.
*The value of macc from INT depends on dINT. It can be as large as +1 or as low as +0.
*Resistance Ranks aka Resistance Tiers can dramatically impact magic accuracy.

===Affinity===

Affinity, also referred to as "Elemental Magic Attack Bonus", adds damage in a separate multiplier term from all standard forms of Magic Attack Bonus.

The base value for this term when no Affinity gear is present = 1.0.

For each stat on gear with Elemental affinity listed:
* Damage affinity +1: Affinity = 1.1
* Damage affinity +2: Affinity = 1.15
* Damage affinity +3: Affinity = 1.20
* Damage affinity +4: Affinity = 1.25
* Damage affinity +5: Affinity = 1.30
* Damage affinity +6: Affinity = 1.35

Elemental Magic Attack Bonus from gear is additive with this term. This statistic is found on gear such as [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring]].
* For example, equipping [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] (28%) and [[Archon Ring]] (5%) would make this term = 1.33 for {{dark}} damage.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] uniquely grants this stat for all elements. See its page for details.

Equipment usable by BLM that provides Elemental Magic Attack Bonus include:
* [[Ngqoqwanb]] provides 15% {{Ice}} elemental affinity.
* [[Ossa Grip]] provides 2% {{Ice}} elemental affinity when the user has [[Ice Spikes]] active.
* [[Marin Staff]] and [[Marin Staff +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Wind}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Kaikias' Cape]] provides 4% {{Wind}} elemental affinity.
* [[Quanpur Necklace]] provides 5% {{Earth}} elemental affinity.
* [[Weatherspoon Ring]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Light}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] provides 28% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Archon Ring]] provides 5% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] provides a range of 1-15% elemental affinity bonus for all elements dependent on distance from the target, for a maximum of 15% {{Elements}} elemental affinity if the target is within 1.93' from the player.

Reminder that spells like [[Comet]], [[Impact]], [[Aspir]], and [[Death]] are darkness elemental magic and ARE enhanced by equipment that boosts darkness elemental affinity!

===Cumulative Magic aka -ja Spells===

Cumulative Magic, usually just called "-ja" spells, are a very important part of playing BLM and raising the entire party's damage for a specific element.

Each time a cumulative magic spell is cast, a hidden debuff is placed on the monster which makes the monster take 5% additional damage from damage of that element for 60 seconds. Each successive cast of the same cumulative magic spell on the same target (from any player) will increase this elemental damage boost by an additional 5% of base damage; however, the window is not extended and will end 60 seconds after the first cumulative magic spell hit the monster even if another matching spell is cast, unless you use Empyrean legs (Extends the window all the way to 110 seconds duration if using [[Wicce Chausses +3]]).
*'''The total damage boost caps at 25%.'''

For example, assuming an initial casting damage of 1000 for [[Firaja]], casting [[Firaja]] repeatedly within 60 seconds will result in damage of 1000, 1050, 1100, etc. Other fire damage, such as [[Fire IV]] or [[Wildfire]], will also receive this damage boost (+5%, +10%, etc.) while in effect.

* [[Firaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Fire}} damage per cast
* [[Blizzaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Ice}} damage per cast
* [[Thundaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Thunder}} damage per cast
* [[Aeroja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Wind}} damage per cast
* [[Stoneja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Earth}} damage per cast
* [[Waterja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Water}} damage per cast
* [[Comet]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Dark}} damage per cast

Technically speaking, you only need to have your Empyrean legs equipped on the first cast of Cumulative Magic, but since the [[Wicce Chausses +3]] are BIS for both Free Nuking and Magic Bursting, you don't have to worry much about swapping.

===Death===

[[Death]] is a spell with very different mechanics that are worth knowing more about.

Death has a chance to instantly KO the enemy, though this does not affect NMs. If your enemy is not killed, the damage formula is:

* (Current MP×3 + Magic Damage)×(MAB/MDB)×(Affinity)×(Day/Weather)
** Note that the Magic Damage in the above formula is capped to 32

You need at least 1 MP to cast Death, and using it expends all of your current MP, even if you have Manafont or Manawell up.

Part of the trick to using Death properly is to build specific sets that ensure that you have the highest possible MP prior to use - this is why you'll see BLMs in specific Idle sets that maximize MP, and cast Death using a specific Precast set that retains as much MP as possible so that your MP isn't cut before you even cast the spell.

===Meteor===

Unfortunately, the coolest and most visually spectacular spell that Square-Enix added to the game has very limited use in endgame.

[[Meteor]] is unique in the fact that it's a non-elemental elemental magic spell - meaning that it uses your elemental magic skill to calculate its damage, but it is typeless and cannot be resisted. It does require you to use Elemental Seal before casting, so consider it on a 10-minute cooldown. It also takes eons to cast - consider building a precast set for this spell that crams in as much Quick Magic gear as you can.

* Unlike other nukes, elemental magic skill contributes directly to Meteor base damage, and the damage is independent of the enemy's INT.
** Meteor's base damage can be approximated as: (1+MAB/100)*floor(INT + Elemental Magic Skill/6)*3.5

Meteor is however worth discussing for at least one specific use-case: the Sortie D & H bosses.

If the fight with either of the Sortie D & H bosses go awry, they use a special ability called Vivisection - this is a full dispel on the party that also removes the NM's elemental weakness, meaning that all of your other spells do pitiful damage... with the exception of Meteor, as it's typeless damage! If the boss is low health and gets off Vivisection, consider using Meteor - it could save the run or at least dramatically save time for the fight to recover!

===Impact===

[[Impact]] is a very special spell that can only be cast if you're wearing one of two particular and difficult to acquire pieces of equipment - these cloaks must remain equipped both for the precast and midcast periods:

* [[Twilight Cloak]]
* [[Crepuscular Cloak]] - 119 version so has much higher MACC and stats

Impact is an ALL STATS DOWN debuff on the target that deals dark damage and lowers an enemy's Strength, Dexterity, Vitality, Agility, Intelligence, Mind, and Charisma.

* Each of the target's base stats is reduced by 20% of the value at the time of cast.
** Stat values are snapshotted on cast, so Impact will have the highest potency if applied before other reductions such as [[Elemental Debuff]]s, namely [[Burn]].

As you might imagine, this can be incredibly potent and can dramatically raise damage against certain NMs, in particular the Sortie C and G bosses.

Impact's maximum duration is 3 minutes, though if resisted the duration will be cut drastically. Since this is an elemental magic spell, a combination of elemental magic skill and magic accuracy is highly encouraged to ensure that this great spell lasts as long as possible against foes with high magic evasion. It's worth coordinating with a Red Mage in your party to have them cast Frazzle III on the enemy first before using Impact.

===Other Essential BLM Gear===
====Hachirin-no-Obi====
[[Hachirin-no-Obi]] is absolutely essential and it's highly recommended to have your Gearswap LUA automatically equip it while nuking when the weather conditions are met. It's a tremendous damage boost and should be paired with [[Klimaform]] either you cast as /SCH or cast by a SCH in your party.

Weather Damage bonuses are as follows:
*+10% bonus for the element matching the day
*+10% bonus for the element matching single weather
**+20% when both single weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+20% bonus for the element matching single weather and day
**+30% when both single weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+25% bonus for the element matching double weather
**+35% when both double weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+35% bonus for the element matching double weather and day
**+45% when both double weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*The element that is weak to the day/weather can suffer the same percentage as above as a penalty
**e.g. {{Fire}} can get -10% during {{Water}} weather.

*Under ideal circumstances, theoretically you can achieve an average of 56.25% damage buff approx 20% of the time
*You can achieve even more Conserve MP if you happen to be BLM/GEO - it gets an additional tier of the Conserve MP trait.

==Tips and Tricks==
===Sortie===

Black Mages are extremely valuable for Sortie endgame runs and on top of their usual role of Magic Bursting everything into smithereens, compiled below are a few tips for bringing the maximum utility to your team:

* Most endgame Sortie groups split up at the beginning to accomplish objectives and receive Shard Key Items to gain access to Sortie's bosses. In just about all normal Sortie magic runs, the BLM will be solely responsible for accomplishing the A objectives:
** After buffing, run south from the start, pop [[Mana Wall]], and round up 6 Acuex enemies. If you have a good Mana Wall set, you should be able to tank them with ease and lose minimal MP.
** Cast [[Firaja]], [[Firaga III]], and other AOE spells to get the 6 Acuex enemies down to 20% or so HP.
** Do not kill any enemies with AOE spells; instead, swap to single target Fire magic and kill them one by one.
** You should spawn chests containing [[Ra'Kaznar Shard A]] and [[Ra'Kaznar Metal A]], as well as a bonus blue chest that has a chance to drop an Old Case.
** If you are lucky enough to see the roaming NM Obdella, you'll easily be able to tank it in your Mana Wall set and Free Nuke it to death for another chest.
* After A objectives are done, many parties start the boss order with D. If so, keep going south and join the rest of the party at the D boss.
* For all bosses, it's wise to save your SCH a strategem and use [[Manifestation]] and cast [[Klimaform]] on the entire party. Since Klimaform's duration and potency are set, you're better off using it and allowing your SCH to have a better strat economy.
* Specific tips and tricks for each boss:
** D/H bosses change their elemental affinities, so you'll have to quickly cast the opposite element to proc the boss. However, if the boss uses Flaming Kick or Icy Grasp, you CAN and SHOULD land [[Burn]] on the boss to raise the rest of the party's damage. If you are unlucky enough to cause the boss to use Vivisection, you should [[Elemental Seal]] then [[Meteor]] to either finish off the boss or at least speed up the end of the fight.
** A/E bosses are pretty simple and you should just [[Burn]] and burst Fire or Earth spells (up to your party's preference)
** B/F bosses alternate between electric hands (use Earth magic) and wind hands (use Ice magic). Annoying if you lose stacks of your -ja magic when it alternates, just soldier through it.
** C/G bosses are susceptible to [[Impact]] if you have access to it, and it is extremely potent. Save [[Burn]] until after you land Impact as it'll overall lower more INT in that order. It's recommended to pop [[Elemental Seal]] if you have it up before using Impact on the G boss to ensure it lasts the maximum duration.

==General Information==

===Roles===
Black Mages are essential for end-game Sortie and extremely helpful for endgame content including Dynamis Divergence and Odyssey Sheol Gaol. BLM is primarily a damage dealer but can save parties in a pinch with a combination of its potent Breakga/Sleepga and Mana Wall to serve as a damage sponge while the rest of the party gets things under control. As a Black Mage, successfully magic bursting (and having the party aligned and able to create the requisite skillchains) is critically important to your damage output. Black mage is one of the most powerful damage dealers in the game when used correctly in the right situations with proper planning and execution.

Black Mage should be expected to:
*Deal elemental damage
**Switching between bursting or free nuking sets.
**Know the elemental weaknesses of the foe.
**Magic Burst, whether solo or coordinating with a group.
**Understanding the gist of magic accuracy and magic damage, detailed in a section below.

*Support
**[[Elemental Debuff]]s - especially [[Burn]] for increasing magic damage for the party - and [[Impact]] are powerful
**Competent curing is very helpful in a pinch, especially if you're running SCH or WHM as a subjob.
**Crowd control with Sleepga, Bind, Stun, and Breakga.
***/SCH provides the potential for Dispelga as well.

*Be frontline or backline
**BLM can and should WS to SC in various situations.
**BLM has Mana Wall, and can use it well.
**BLM has the ability to generate TP without meleeing via [[Occult Acumen]]
**BLM has access to AoE WSs and Spells.
**It is often not appropriate to run just because you have hate.

===Mana Wall===

[[Mana Wall]] should not be ignored - when geared properly, you can be a tanking god for 5 minutes and potentially allow your party to recover or get away safe. The way this ability works, damage against you is halved (after you master, it's reduced by 70%!) and then converted to MP damage instead; this is obviously stupidly powerful with your MP pool but it stacks with other Mana Wall gear and your -Damage Taken gear as well.

Mana Wall caps at 95% potency, meaning that incoming damage is reduced by 95% THEN converted to MP damage.
*By default Mana Wall's ability provides 50% reduction
*When mastered with JP, additional 20% reduction
*[[Taranus's Cape]] from Ambuscade provides another 10% reduction
*[[Wicce Sabots +3]] provides 25% reduction
*[[Archmage's Staff]] Path C provides 20% reduction - as you can see, the SU4 staff suffices as the additional Mana Wall reduction from the SU5 staff is wasted on the cap.

When using Mana Wall, you should ensure your set also has capped -Damage Taken as those stats are accounted for before the conversion to MP damage is calculated. It's also nice to use gear such as [[Archmage's Staff]] and [[Ethereal Earring]] to convert damage to MP, effectively lowering the "damage" even more so.

As an example borrowed from a [https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxi/comments/ztedor/kaumodaki_blm_su%E2%81%B5_staff/j1pzk8h/ very helpful reddit post]:

The Sortie G Boss, Triboulex, uses an ultimate move called '''"Setting the Stage"''' that deals 30,000 damage divided among all party members in range. With only the BLM in range, that 30,000 damage is reduced:
# -DT reduces that 30k damage by ~50% to '''15,000'''
# Mana Wall gear reduces that 15k damage by 95% to '''750''' damage
# That 750 damage is converted to '''-750 MP'''
# If using Archmage's Staff and Ethereal Earring, you receive 7% of that damage back, returning 52 MP so effectively from the entire attack you only took '''698 MP damage.'''

There are big negatives that prevent Mana Wall to be used to fully tank - namely you shed enmity extremely quickly with Mana Wall active, and it's especially tough to hold enemies unless you're super tanking (meaning no other party members are attacking enemies and pulling enmity). It's recommended to use specific +enmity sets for spells like [[Stun]] to pull away NMs and keep your party safe in times of emergency.

Status effects can also still affect you, and Mana Wall is a buff that CAN be dispelled.

==Support Jobs==
{{Guide Support Jobs Table

{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=SCH
|Notes=Probably the most useful support job overall for Black Mage. Especially when you hit ML10, where you get [[Ebullience]] to boost damage for your bursts. [[Parsimony]] allows for greater MP management, [[Alacrity]] allows for more rapid -ja accumulation or recast spells such as Death or Comet for targets weak to our limited dark nukes, and [[Manifestation]] allows you to cast [[Klimaform]] to your party members and cast single target spells like Aspir as AOEs. 

Dark Arts reduces the cost of, casting time, and recast time of your nukes. It also will improve your C+ Enfeebling Skill to a B+. 
On the flip side Light Arts provides a healing skill you actually need. Meaning you stand a better chance at removing Doom with Cursna. More powerful cures aren't a terrible thing either. 

[[Sublimation]] provides you great MP recovery that could make or break killing a tough Sortie or Odyssey boss, arguably more useful to have a burst of MP accessible than having Refresh cast on you.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=WHM
|Notes=An important sub for not only the White Mage line of spells, especially the eventual Curaga III at ML10, but for Weapon Skills. As this is generally the preferred sub for gaining access to [[Earth Crusher]] and [[Cataclysm]]. 

Otherwise, /WHM gives access to the same enfeebles as /RDM, sans Gravity with more party support. In the form of Barspells, Cuaraga, Haste, -na spells, etc.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=RDM
|Notes=A handy support job for Haste, Flurry, Refresh, Barspells, Silence, Paralyze, Slow, Gravity, Convert, and extra Fast Cast (and by extension extra spell recast). 

Red Mage as a support job feels like a middle ground between the offerings of White Mage and Scholar. However, Convert and Refresh are overshadowed by Dark Arts, Parsimony, and Sublimation of /SCH. Meaning you generally would sub this if you needed the remaining tools it offers over you other subs.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=SAM
|Notes= /SAM is situationally very useful when you'll be spending a significant amount of time in melee, including for soloing. BLM can and should step up to weapon skill and with /SAM, you can pretty consistently self-SC and then magic burst a spell or two (especially recommended for MLing!). This is especially fun with AM3 on Laevateinn where you can three step your own Light or Dark SCs thanks to Hasso. 

While it may seem counter intuitive to cast with Hasso on given the 50% penalty to casting and recasting. You are only likely getting one burst off anyway without a quick magic proc, and [[Elemental Celerity]] helps you to counter the penalty with a desisted Hasso Fast Cast set leveraging it.

==Understanding Magic==
===Magic Accuracy===
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
*Outside of minor edits please use the discussion page for the guide to discuss any major edits or corrections.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
When it comes to being a BLM it is more an exercise in what you know about the foe and what you know about mechanics than just going boom-booms. It is easier for a DD to flub their way through than for you to. So let's go over the rigamarole so that we might all suck less.

While melee combat skills provide a corresponding boost to accuracy and attack at a rate of less than 1:1. Magic skill+ are a 1:1 skill to accuracy gain, but provide no extra attack.

To determine your magic accuracy total. Add up your elemental skill, magic accuracy skill, magic accuracy+, merits, gifts, food, buffs, debuffs, and then factor in dINT. Which is in the section below.
*A Mastered BLM with a Master Level of 0 will sit at 512 before any equipment or dINT.
:*Adding an Mpaca's Staff R0 would add 40 Magic Accuracy and 255 skill for 807.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
Your hit rate is simply your magic accuracy against the magic evasion of your foe. Magical hit rate caps at 95%. Meaning 5% of the time a player will otherwise be resisted.
*If your magic hit rate is 50% or more then magic accuracy +1 is equivalent to hit rate +1%.
*If your magic hit rate is less than 50% then magic accuracy +1 is equivalent to hit rate +0.5%.
**Any Magic accuracy that raises you to the 50% mark then returns to being 1:1.
***E.g. Your hit rate is 40% and you gain 40 magic accuracy. Your hit rate becomes 60%.
However, the magic evasion of the foe is not actually simple. It is a factor of the foe's magic evasion stat, dINT, the resistance tier of the corresponding element of the foe, and level correction where applicable.
*Thus, there is no single magic accuracy number to cap hit rate for a foe as there would be a physical accuracy.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
INT also plays a role in the magic accuracy of all nukes and INT based enfeebles. The magic accuracy bonus of INT depends on two things:
#dINT, the difference of INT between caster and foe.
#[[Magic Hit Rate]], which we covered, but factors in here.

{| style="width: 100%; max-width: 788px; text-align: center; color: #BDB5D5; background: #1B1212" cellpadding="2"

| +10-20
| +20-40
| +40-50
| +50-60
| +60
|}

So, INT has a sweet spot from -10 to +10, but also a no-no spot, and that spot is 70+. Which by that age you don't expect much anyway.
*Ba-dum-tss

Now, once your INT has become magic accuracy it affects your magic hit rate in the same way as above. For example:

Your magic hit rate is 65%.
*dINT is +30, and you gain 19 INT.
:*Your hit rate is now 69%. Nice.
*dINT is -38 and you gain 19 INT.
:*Your hit rate is now 72%.

Your magic hit rate is 45%.
*dINT is -50 and you gain 20 INT.
:*Your hit rate is now 47%.
*dINT is -10 and you gain 20 INT.
:*Your hit rate is now 60%.

WAR (Crawler above) is the most common job in the game, and it is the second lower tier of INT, where PLD (Beetle above) is the lowest ranking of INT. 
This should probably have a table on the [[INT]] page, but for now I will just write it here from highest to lowest.
#BLM
#SMN
#DRK, COR, SCH, THF, RDM
#BRD, BLU, NIN, RUN
#BST, PUP, RNG, SAM, WHM
#DNC, DRG, WAR
#MNK, PLD

<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
The [[Resist]]ance of a foe is the final and most important piece of the puzzle. Not only for magic accuracy, but for damage. Though we will only cover the accuracy portion of that here, just like with INT.

{| style="border: 2px solid #3C6A95; text-align: center; margin: 3px; width: 100%; max-width: 788px;" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"

| 5%
|}

First, let me just summarize the resist page here in terms of accuracy. Foes have individual resistances to all elements, and these values are tiered out in the table above. A neutral resistance tier is 100%, where as weakness would be anything above that, and vice versa for resitance. 
Any foe with a resistance status of 50% forces a resist. Resists will be either a 1/2 (-50%), 1/4 (-75%), or 1/8th (-87.5%). So a Skeleton for example, has a {{dark}} dark resistance tier of 50%. This means any dark based spell which lands is not going to either be full damage or full duration.

Now, there are two things players can do to change the resistance, [[Rayke]] and [[Skillchain]]s.
*Rayke reduces the resistance tier to the corresponding element by a tier per rune.
:*E.g. a foe has a 30% resistance tier to an element, and three runes of that element are Rayked. The reistance tier is now 60% for the duration of Rayke, which is a big deal.
*Skillchains will temporarily lower the resistance tier of the damage of the skillchain by one tier for the window of it.
:*Magic bursting also adds a speculated +100 accuracy to a spell.
:*See the [[Resist#Modifying Resistance Rank]] for more explanation on how a SC damage type is determined.
::*It is the lowest resistance tier, but this can change depending on other steps involved.
This becomes very applicable with NMs, which can tend to have different resistance values from ordinary foes of the same family or even other NMs. For example, no tier 3 [[Odyssey]] NM in Sheol Gaol has a weakness above 30% unless their aura is on which then changes it to 100% iirc. With their neutral elements being 25% and their opposing element at the lowest 5% tier. 
This means if you fight a foe like Ongo then the magic defense down from [[Vidohunir]] will not land outside of when the aura is on. Same for defense down effect from a weapon skill against [[Xevioso]]. In fact to finish that thought, they will only really stand a chance to land against Mboze unless Rayke is used.

Further, as a BLM you can uniquely bypass some of the hindrance of Resist tiers while under [[Subtle Sorcery]]. It will bypass the forced resists from a tier 50% or less, but will not solve the next component of elemental resistance tiers.

Second, the remaining factor to resistance to account for is the magic accuracy requirements imposed by resistance tiers. Which is not actually on the wiki currently. Not because I am some rumored gate keeper, but because neither I nor anyone else have gotten around to it, and it involves deciphering Japanese testing through google Translate. Not the easiest for sure, but what is clear is that as resistance tiers go lower and resistance to an element goes higher. It imposes a greater magic accuracy requirement to cap hit rate.
*[https://twitter.com/MBZ2arZNkm174sV/status/1292994041722724352?cxt=HHwWgICjmd_O0fEjAAAA Here] is the testing I am referring to, and one which corroborates the INT magic accuracy/Ongo testing from Lutes blog cited at the bottom references on both of those pages.
:*The red text is confirmed, and the black is theorized.
:*This testing lines up with the observable effective magic accuracy required for [[Ongo]], 1,365.
::*Since you are magic bursting, yes, the resistance rank changes from 30% to 40% for the burst window, and changes the accuracy required to 1,222 before counting the +100 from bursting.
:*Accuracy requirements jump steeply below the 30% tier. The table lacks it for Ongo, but I can make an educated guess based on the data there. Which means you need an effective magic accuracy of ~1,710 to land Burn on Ongo, given it's 25% tier to fire.
Now the testing doesn't go past the 20% tier, but it doesn't need to with how steep it gets. So when it comes to nuking, SC dmg, or enfeebling any iLvl foe around the lowest tiers, forget about it unless you throw the kitchen sink at the foe. Which generally isn't practical.

Fortunately, there is a lower magic accuracy requirement for the higher resistance tiers. Let's tie this together with a practical example using a level 139 [[Apex Draugar]]. Which has a resistance tiers of {{fire}} 130%, {{ice}} 70%, and {{dark}} 50%. Spells would cap hit rate at the following:
*{{fire}} 1,102
*{{ice}} 1,204
*{{dark}} 1,295
:*Due to the forced resist, if you casted sleep. Then you will either not land the spell or it will land for a reduced time.

What is cool about all of this this is that outside of anything that lowers your macc or boosts the magic evasion of the foe, you can better figure out or fine tune a set to cap hit rate.

*Values in the table are based off of: [https://sazitouhuu.blogspot.com/2020/06/blog-post_27.html].
**Resistance Ranks are linear per level while the various ranks for that level are exponential increases as resistance increases.
**While working to extrapolate the table further from the source material. I noticed errors and questioned some results. Thus comes in my friend, Fox. Of which this final table is credited to.
***There was not enough data collected for the 20% and 25% ranks, but it is safe to say the curve gets steep.
***Keep in mind, the table is estimated values built off of another table of very well estimated values. Expect that you may possibly be off by ~10 magic accuracy at a given time.

<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
Practical implications of the write up:
*Gear enfeebles like sleep or break with a focus in magic accuracy and enfeebling skill.
*Magic Hit Rate caps at 95%, and a miss is simply a reist, which has various values.
*The value of macc from INT depends on dINT. It can be as large as +1 or as low as +0.
*Resistance Ranks aka Resistance Tiers can dramatically impact magic accuracy.

===Affinity===

Affinity, also referred to as "Elemental Magic Attack Bonus", adds damage in a separate multiplier term from all standard forms of Magic Attack Bonus.

The base value for this term when no Affinity gear is present = 1.0.

For each stat on gear with Elemental affinity listed:
* Damage affinity +1: Affinity = 1.1
* Damage affinity +2: Affinity = 1.15
* Damage affinity +3: Affinity = 1.20
* Damage affinity +4: Affinity = 1.25
* Damage affinity +5: Affinity = 1.30
* Damage affinity +6: Affinity = 1.35

Elemental Magic Attack Bonus from gear is additive with this term. This statistic is found on gear such as [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring]].
* For example, equipping [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] (28%) and [[Archon Ring]] (5%) would make this term = 1.33 for {{dark}} damage.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] uniquely grants this stat for all elements. See its page for details.

Equipment usable by BLM that provides Elemental Magic Attack Bonus include:
* [[Ngqoqwanb]] provides 15% {{Ice}} elemental affinity.
* [[Ossa Grip]] provides 2% {{Ice}} elemental affinity when the user has [[Ice Spikes]] active.
* [[Marin Staff]] and [[Marin Staff +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Wind}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Kaikias' Cape]] provides 4% {{Wind}} elemental affinity.
* [[Quanpur Necklace]] provides 5% {{Earth}} elemental affinity.
* [[Weatherspoon Ring]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Light}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] provides 28% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Archon Ring]] provides 5% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] provides a range of 1-15% elemental affinity bonus for all elements dependent on distance from the target, for a maximum of 15% {{Elements}} elemental affinity if the target is within 1.93' from the player.

Reminder that spells like [[Comet]], [[Impact]], [[Aspir]], and [[Death]] are darkness elemental magic and ARE enhanced by equipment that boosts darkness elemental affinity!

===Cumulative Magic aka -ja Spells===

Cumulative Magic, usually just called "-ja" spells, are a very important part of playing BLM and raising the entire party's damage for a specific element.

Each time a cumulative magic spell is cast, a hidden debuff is placed on the monster which makes the monster take 5% additional damage from damage of that element for 60 seconds. Each successive cast of the same cumulative magic spell on the same target (from any player) will increase this elemental damage boost by an additional 5% of base damage; however, the window is not extended and will end 60 seconds after the first cumulative magic spell hit the monster even if another matching spell is cast, unless you use Empyrean legs (Extends the window all the way to 110 seconds duration if using [[Wicce Chausses +3]]).
*'''The total damage boost caps at 25%.'''

For example, assuming an initial casting damage of 1000 for [[Firaja]], casting [[Firaja]] repeatedly within 60 seconds will result in damage of 1000, 1050, 1100, etc. Other fire damage, such as [[Fire IV]] or [[Wildfire]], will also receive this damage boost (+5%, +10%, etc.) while in effect.

* [[Firaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Fire}} damage per cast
* [[Blizzaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Ice}} damage per cast
* [[Thundaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Thunder}} damage per cast
* [[Aeroja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Wind}} damage per cast
* [[Stoneja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Earth}} damage per cast
* [[Waterja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Water}} damage per cast
* [[Comet]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Dark}} damage per cast

Technically speaking, you only need to have your Empyrean legs equipped on the first cast of Cumulative Magic, but since the [[Wicce Chausses +3]] are BIS for both Free Nuking and Magic Bursting, you don't have to worry much about swapping.

===Death===

[[Death]] is a spell with very different mechanics that are worth knowing more about.

Death has a chance to instantly KO the enemy, though this does not affect NMs. If your enemy is not killed, the damage formula is:

* (Current MP×3 + Magic Damage)×(MAB/MDB)×(Affinity)×(Day/Weather)
** Note that the Magic Damage in the above formula is capped to 32

You need at least 1 MP to cast Death, and using it expends all of your current MP, even if you have Manafont or Manawell up.

Part of the trick to using Death properly is to build specific sets that ensure that you have the highest possible MP prior to use - this is why you'll see BLMs in specific Idle sets that maximize MP, and cast Death using a specific Precast set that retains as much MP as possible so that your MP isn't cut before you even cast the spell.

===Meteor===

Unfortunately, the coolest and most visually spectacular spell that Square-Enix added to the game has very limited use in endgame.

[[Meteor]] is unique in the fact that it's a non-elemental elemental magic spell - meaning that it uses your elemental magic skill to calculate its damage, but it is typeless and cannot be resisted. It does require you to use Elemental Seal before casting, so consider it on a 10-minute cooldown. It also takes eons to cast - consider building a precast set for this spell that crams in as much Quick Magic gear as you can.

* Unlike other nukes, elemental magic skill contributes directly to Meteor base damage, and the damage is independent of the enemy's INT.
** Meteor's base damage can be approximated as: (1+MAB/100)*floor(INT + Elemental Magic Skill/6)*3.5

Meteor is however worth discussing for at least one specific use-case: the Sortie D & H bosses.

If the fight with either of the Sortie D & H bosses go awry, they use a special ability called Vivisection - this is a full dispel on the party that also removes the NM's elemental weakness, meaning that all of your other spells do pitiful damage... with the exception of Meteor, as it's typeless damage! If the boss is low health and gets off Vivisection, consider using Meteor - it could save the run or at least dramatically save time for the fight to recover!

===Impact===

[[Impact]] is a very special spell that can only be cast if you're wearing one of two particular and difficult to acquire pieces of equipment - these cloaks must remain equipped both for the precast and midcast periods:

* [[Twilight Cloak]]
* [[Crepuscular Cloak]] - 119 version so has much higher MACC and stats

Impact is an ALL STATS DOWN debuff on the target that deals dark damage and lowers an enemy's Strength, Dexterity, Vitality, Agility, Intelligence, Mind, and Charisma.

* Each of the target's base stats is reduced by 20% of the value at the time of cast.
** Stat values are snapshotted on cast, so Impact will have the highest potency if applied before other reductions such as [[Elemental Debuff]]s, namely [[Burn]].

As you might imagine, this can be incredibly potent and can dramatically raise damage against certain NMs, in particular the Sortie C and G bosses.

Impact's maximum duration is 3 minutes, though if resisted the duration will be cut drastically. Since this is an elemental magic spell, a combination of elemental magic skill and magic accuracy is highly encouraged to ensure that this great spell lasts as long as possible against foes with high magic evasion. It's worth coordinating with a Red Mage in your party to have them cast Frazzle III on the enemy first before using Impact.

'''Note that ALL of the Empyrean Armor +3 is BIS for Free Nuking not only because of the stats on them but also because of the Empyrean Armor Proc wherein when Conserve MP is proc'd, extra damage is calculated based on double of the MP conserved.'''

===Other Essential BLM Gear===
====Hachirin-no-Obi====
[[Hachirin-no-Obi]] is absolutely essential and it's highly recommended to have your Gearswap LUA automatically equip it while nuking when the weather conditions are met. It's a tremendous damage boost and should be paired with [[Klimaform]] either you cast as /SCH or cast by a SCH in your party.

Weather Damage bonuses are as follows:
*+10% bonus for the element matching the day
*+10% bonus for the element matching single weather
**+20% when both single weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+20% bonus for the element matching single weather and day
**+30% when both single weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+25% bonus for the element matching double weather
**+35% when both double weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+35% bonus for the element matching double weather and day
**+45% when both double weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*The element that is weak to the day/weather can suffer the same percentage as above as a penalty
**e.g. {{Fire}} can get -10% during {{Water}} weather.

==Gearsets==

'''WIP to create new sets and recommendations for subjobs, Ambuscade capes, and other sets. Edits welcome but should not be unilaterally deleted without replacements in place.'''

===Precast Sets===
'''Note: BLMs receive the Elemental Celerity trait, which provides 30% faster casting (38% when mastered) for specifically elemental magic. However, this does NOT grant faster recast after you're done casting this spell. If you'd like to take advantage of this, you can only have 42 Fast Cast in your Elemental Magic Precast set and fill in the other slots with -DT and Magic Evasion gear.'''

==Tips and Tricks==
===Sortie===

Black Mages are extremely valuable for Sortie endgame runs and on top of their usual role of Magic Bursting everything into smithereens, compiled below are a few tips for bringing the maximum utility to your team:

* Most endgame Sortie groups split up at the beginning to accomplish objectives and receive Shard Key Items to gain access to Sortie's bosses. In just about all normal Sortie magic runs, the BLM will be solely responsible for accomplishing the A objectives:
** After buffing, run south from the start, pop [[Mana Wall]], and round up 6 Acuex enemies. If you have a good Mana Wall set, you should be able to tank them with ease and lose minimal MP.
** Cast [[Firaja]], [[Firaga III]], and other AOE spells to get the 6 Acuex enemies down to 20% or so HP.
** Do not kill any enemies with AOE spells; instead, swap to single target Fire magic and kill them one by one.
** You should spawn chests containing [[Ra'Kaznar Shard A]] and [[Ra'Kaznar Metal A]], as well as a bonus blue chest that has a chance to drop an Old Case.
** If you are lucky enough to see the roaming NM Obdella, you'll easily be able to tank it in your Mana Wall set and Free Nuke it to death for another chest.
* After A objectives are done, many parties start the boss order with D. If so, keep going south and join the rest of the party at the D boss.
* For all bosses, it's wise to save your SCH a strategem and use [[Manifestation]] and cast [[Klimaform]] on the entire party. Since Klimaform's duration and potency are set, you're better off using it and allowing your SCH to have a better strat economy.
* Specific tips and tricks for each boss:
** D/H bosses change their elemental affinities, so you'll have to quickly cast the opposite element to proc the boss. However, if the boss uses Flaming Kick or Icy Grasp, you CAN and SHOULD land [[Burn]] on the boss to raise the rest of the party's damage. If you are unlucky enough to cause the boss to use Vivisection, you should [[Elemental Seal]] then [[Meteor]] to either finish off the boss or at least speed up the end of the fight.
** A/E bosses are pretty simple and you should just [[Burn]] and burst Fire or Earth spells (up to your party's preference)
** B/F bosses alternate between electric hands (use Earth magic) and wind hands (use Ice magic). Annoying if you lose stacks of your -ja magic when it alternates, just soldier through it.
** C/G bosses are susceptible to [[Impact]] if you have access to it, and it is extremely potent. Save [[Burn]] until after you land Impact as it'll overall lower more INT in that order.

==General Information==

===Roles===
Black Mages are essential for end-game Sortie and extremely helpful for endgame content including Dynamis Divergence and Odyssey Sheol Gaol. BLM is primarily a damage dealer but can save parties in a pinch with a combination of its potent Breakga/Sleepga and Mana Wall to serve as a damage sponge while the rest of the party gets things under control. As a Black Mage, successfully magic bursting (and having the party aligned and able to create the requisite skillchains) is critically important to your damage output. Black mage is one of the most powerful damage dealers in the game when used correctly in the right situations with proper planning and execution.

Black Mage should be expected to:
*Deal elemental damage
**Switching between bursting or free nuking sets.
**Know the elemental weaknesses of the foe.
**Magic Burst, whether solo or coordinating with a group.
**Understanding the gist of magic accuracy and magic damage, detailed in a section below.

*Support
**[[Elemental Debuff]]s - especially [[Burn]] for increasing magic damage for the party - and [[Impact]] are powerful
**Competent curing is very helpful in a pinch, especially if you're running SCH or WHM as a subjob.
**Crowd control with Sleepga, Bind, Stun, and Breakga.
***/SCH provides the potential for Dispelga as well.

*Be frontline or backline
**BLM can and should WS to SC in various situations.
**BLM has Mana Wall, and can use it well.
**BLM has the ability to generate TP without meleeing via [[Occult Acumen]]
**BLM has access to AoE WSs and Spells.
**It is often not appropriate to run just because you have hate.

===Mana Wall===

[[Mana Wall]] should not be ignored - when geared properly, you can be a tanking god for 5 minutes and potentially allow your party to recover or get away safe. The way this ability works, damage against you is halved (after you master, it's reduced by 70%!) and then converted to MP damage instead; this is obviously stupidly powerful with your MP pool but it stacks with other Mana Wall gear and your -Damage Taken gear as well.

Mana Wall caps at 95% potency, meaning that incoming damage is reduced by 95% THEN converted to MP damage.
*By default Mana Wall's ability provides 50% reduction
*When mastered with JP, additional 20% reduction
*[[Taranus's Cape]] from Ambuscade provides another 10% reduction
*[[Wicce Sabots +3]] provides 25% reduction
*[[Archmage's Staff]] Path C provides 20% reduction - as you can see, the SU4 staff suffices as the additional Mana Wall reduction from the SU5 staff is wasted on the cap.

When using Mana Wall, you should ensure your set also has capped -Damage Taken as those stats are accounted for before the conversion to MP damage is calculated. It's also nice to use gear such as [[Archmage's Staff]] and [[Ethereal Earring]] to convert damage to MP, effectively lowering the "damage" even more so.

As an example borrowed from a [https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxi/comments/ztedor/kaumodaki_blm_su%E2%81%B5_staff/j1pzk8h/ very helpful reddit post]:

The Sortie G Boss, Triboulex, uses an ultimate move called '''"Setting the Stage"''' that deals 30,000 damage divided among all party members in range. With only the BLM in range, that 30,000 damage is reduced:
# -DT reduces that 30k damage by ~50% to '''15,000'''
# Mana Wall gear reduces that 15k damage by 95% to '''750''' damage
# That 750 damage is converted to '''-750 MP'''
# If using Archmage's Staff and Ethereal Earring, you receive 7% of that damage back, returning 52 MP so effectively from the entire attack you only took '''698 MP damage.'''

There are big negatives that prevent Mana Wall to be used to fully tank - namely you shed enmity extremely quickly with Mana Wall active, and it's especially tough to hold enemies unless you're super tanking (meaning no other party members are attacking enemies and pulling enmity). It's recommended to use specific +enmity sets for spells like [[Stun]] to pull away NMs and keep your party safe in times of emergency.

Status effects can also still affect you, and Mana Wall is a buff that CAN be dispelled.

==Support Jobs==

{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=SCH
|Notes=Probably the most useful support job overall for Black Mage. Especially when you hit ML10, where you get [[Ebullience]] to boost damage for your bursts. [[Parsimony]] allows for greater MP management, [[Alacrity]] allows for more rapid -ja accumulation or recast spells such as Death or Comet for targets weak to our limited dark nukes, and [[Manifestation]] allows you to cast [[Klimaform]] to your party members and cast single target spells like Aspir as AOEs. 

Dark Arts reduces the cost of, casting time, and recast time of your nukes. It also will improve your C+ Enfeebling Skill to a B+. 
On the flip side Light Arts provides a healing skill you actually need. Meaning you stand a better chance at removing Doom with Cursna. More powerful cures aren't a terrible thing either. 

[[Sublimation]] provides you great MP recovery that could make or break killing a tough Sortie or Odyssey boss, arguably more useful to have a burst of MP accessible than having Refresh cast on you.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=WHM
|Notes=An important sub for not only the White Mage line of spells, especially the eventual Curaga III at ML10, but for Weapon Skills. As this is generally the preferred sub for gaining access to [[Earth Crusher]] and [[Cataclysm]]. 

Otherwise, /WHM gives access to the same enfeebles as /RDM, sans Gravity with more party support. In the form of Barspells, Cuaraga, Haste, -na spells, etc.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=RDM
|Notes=A handy support job for Haste, Flurry, Refresh, Barspells, Silence, Paralyze, Slow, Gravity, Convert, and extra Fast Cast (and by extension extra spell recast). 

Red Mage as a support job feels like a middle ground between the offerings of White Mage and Scholar. However, Convert and Refresh are overshadowed by Dark Arts, Parsimony, and Sublimation of /SCH. Meaning you generally would sub this if you needed the remaining tools it offers over you other subs.
}}
{{Guide Support Jobs
|Border Color=#51414F
|Job=SAM
|Notes= /SAM is situationally very useful when you'll be spending a significant amount of time in melee, including for soloing. BLM can and should step up to weapon skill and with /SAM, you can pretty consistently self-SC and then magic burst a spell or two (especially recommended for MLing!). This is especially fun with AM3 on Laevateinn where you can three step your own Light or Dark SCs thanks to Hasso. 

While it may seem counter intuitive to cast with Hasso on given the 50% penalty to casting and recasting. You are only likely getting one burst off anyway without a quick magic proc, and [[Elemental Celerity]] helps you to counter the penalty with a desisted Hasso Fast Cast set leveraging it.

==Understanding Magic==
===Magic Accuracy===
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
*Outside of minor edits please use the discussion page for the guide to discuss any major edits or corrections.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
When it comes to being a BLM it is more an exercise in what you know about the foe and what you know about mechanics than just going boom-booms. It is easier for a DD to flub their way through than for you to. So let's go over the rigamarole so that we might all suck less.

While melee combat skills provide a corresponding boost to accuracy and attack at a rate of less than 1:1. Magic skill+ are a 1:1 skill to accuracy gain, but provide no extra attack.

To determine your magic accuracy total. Add up your elemental skill, magic accuracy skill, magic accuracy+, merits, gifts, food, buffs, debuffs, and then factor in dINT. Which is in the section below.
*A Mastered BLM with a Master Level of 0 will sit at 512 before any equipment or dINT.
:*Adding an Mpaca's Staff R0 would add 40 Magic Accuracy and 255 skill for 807.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
Your hit rate is simply your magic accuracy against the magic evasion of your foe. Magical hit rate caps at 95%. Meaning 5% of the time a player will otherwise be resisted.
*If your magic hit rate is 50% or more then magic accuracy +1 is equivalent to hit rate +1%.
*If your magic hit rate is less than 50% then magic accuracy +1 is equivalent to hit rate +0.5%.
**Any Magic accuracy that raises you to the 50% mark then returns to being 1:1.
***E.g. Your hit rate is 40% and you gain 40 magic accuracy. Your hit rate becomes 60%.
However, the magic evasion of the foe is not actually simple. It is a factor of the foe's magic evasion stat, dINT, the resistance tier of the corresponding element of the foe, and level correction where applicable.
*Thus, there is no single magic accuracy number to cap hit rate for a foe as there would be a physical accuracy.
<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
INT also plays a role in the magic accuracy of all nukes and INT based enfeebles. The magic accuracy bonus of INT depends on two things:
#dINT, the difference of INT between caster and foe.
#[[Magic Hit Rate]], which we covered, but factors in here.

{| style="width: 100%; max-width: 788px; text-align: center; color: #BDB5D5; background: #1B1212" cellpadding="2"

| +10-20
| +20-40
| +40-50
| +50-60
| +60
|}

So, INT has a sweet spot from -10 to +10, but also a no-no spot, and that spot is 70+. Which by that age you don't expect much anyway.
*Ba-dum-tss

Now, once your INT has become magic accuracy it affects your magic hit rate in the same way as above. For example:

Your magic hit rate is 65%.
*dINT is +30, and you gain 19 INT.
:*Your hit rate is now 69%. Nice.
*dINT is -38 and you gain 19 INT.
:*Your hit rate is now 72%.

Your magic hit rate is 45%.
*dINT is -50 and you gain 20 INT.
:*Your hit rate is now 47%.
*dINT is -10 and you gain 20 INT.
:*Your hit rate is now 60%.

WAR (Crawler above) is the most common job in the game, and it is the second lower tier of INT, where PLD (Beetle above) is the lowest ranking of INT. 
This should probably have a table on the [[INT]] page, but for now I will just write it here from highest to lowest.
#BLM
#SMN
#DRK, COR, SCH, THF, RDM
#BRD, BLU, NIN, RUN
#BST, PUP, RNG, SAM, WHM
#DNC, DRG, WAR
#MNK, PLD

<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
The [[Resist]]ance of a foe is the final and most important piece of the puzzle. Not only for magic accuracy, but for damage. Though we will only cover the accuracy portion of that here, just like with INT.

{| style="border: 2px solid #3C6A95; text-align: center; margin: 3px; width: 100%; max-width: 788px;" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"

| 5%
|}

First, let me just summarize the resist page here in terms of accuracy. Foes have individual resistances to all elements, and these values are tiered out in the table above. A neutral resistance tier is 100%, where as weakness would be anything above that, and vice versa for resitance. 
Any foe with a resistance status of 50% forces a resist. Resists will be either a 1/2 (-50%), 1/4 (-75%), or 1/8th (-87.5%). So a Skeleton for example, has a {{dark}} dark resistance tier of 50%. This means any dark based spell which lands is not going to either be full damage or full duration.

Now, there are two things players can do to change the resistance, [[Rayke]] and [[Skillchain]]s.
*Rayke reduces the resistance tier to the corresponding element by a tier per rune.
:*E.g. a foe has a 30% resistance tier to an element, and three runes of that element are Rayked. The reistance tier is now 60% for the duration of Rayke, which is a big deal.
*Skillchains will temporarily lower the resistance tier of the damage of the skillchain by one tier for the window of it.
:*Magic bursting also adds a speculated +100 accuracy to a spell.
:*See the [[Resist#Modifying Resistance Rank]] for more explanation on how a SC damage type is determined.
::*It is the lowest resistance tier, but this can change depending on other steps involved.
This becomes very applicable with NMs, which can tend to have different resistance values from ordinary foes of the same family or even other NMs. For example, no tier 3 [[Odyssey]] NM in Sheol Gaol has a weakness above 30% unless their aura is on which then changes it to 100% iirc. With their neutral elements being 25% and their opposing element at the lowest 5% tier. 
This means if you fight a foe like Ongo then the magic defense down from [[Vidohunir]] will not land outside of when the aura is on. Same for defense down effect from a weapon skill against [[Xevioso]]. In fact to finish that thought, they will only really stand a chance to land against Mboze unless Rayke is used.

Further, as a BLM you can uniquely bypass some of the hindrance of Resist tiers while under [[Subtle Sorcery]]. It will bypass the forced resists from a tier 50% or less, but will not solve the next component of elemental resistance tiers.

Second, the remaining factor to resistance to account for is the magic accuracy requirements imposed by resistance tiers. Which is not actually on the wiki currently. Not because I am some rumored gate keeper, but because neither I nor anyone else have gotten around to it, and it involves deciphering Japanese testing through google Translate. Not the easiest for sure, but what is clear is that as resistance tiers go lower and resistance to an element goes higher. It imposes a greater magic accuracy requirement to cap hit rate.
*[https://twitter.com/MBZ2arZNkm174sV/status/1292994041722724352?cxt=HHwWgICjmd_O0fEjAAAA Here] is the testing I am referring to, and one which corroborates the INT magic accuracy/Ongo testing from Lutes blog cited at the bottom references on both of those pages.
:*The red text is confirmed, and the black is theorized.
:*This testing lines up with the observable effective magic accuracy required for [[Ongo]], 1,365.
::*Since you are magic bursting, yes, the resistance rank changes from 30% to 40% for the burst window, and changes the accuracy required to 1,222 before counting the +100 from bursting.
:*Accuracy requirements jump steeply below the 30% tier. The table lacks it for Ongo, but I can make an educated guess based on the data there. Which means you need an effective magic accuracy of ~1,710 to land Burn on Ongo, given it's 25% tier to fire.
Now the testing doesn't go past the 20% tier, but it doesn't need to with how steep it gets. So when it comes to nuking, SC dmg, or enfeebling any iLvl foe around the lowest tiers, forget about it unless you throw the kitchen sink at the foe. Which generally isn't practical.

Fortunately, there is a lower magic accuracy requirement for the higher resistance tiers. Let's tie this together with a practical example using a level 139 [[Apex Draugar]]. Which has a resistance tiers of {{fire}} 130%, {{ice}} 70%, and {{dark}} 50%. Spells would cap hit rate at the following:
*{{fire}} 1,102
*{{ice}} 1,204
*{{dark}} 1,295
:*Due to the forced resist, if you casted sleep. Then you will either not land the spell or it will land for a reduced time.

What is cool about all of this this is that outside of anything that lowers your macc or boosts the magic evasion of the foe, you can better figure out or fine tune a set to cap hit rate.

*Values in the table are based off of: [https://sazitouhuu.blogspot.com/2020/06/blog-post_27.html].
**Resistance Ranks are linear per level while the various ranks for that level are exponential increases as resistance increases.
**While working to extrapolate the table further from the source material. I noticed errors and questioned some results. Thus comes in my friend, Fox. Of which this final table is credited to.
***There was not enough data collected for the 20% and 25% ranks, but it is safe to say the curve gets steep.
***Keep in mind, the table is estimated values built off of another table of very well estimated values. Expect that you may possibly be off by ~10 magic accuracy at a given time.

<hr style="background:#51414F; height: 1px;">
Practical implications of the write up:
*Gear enfeebles like sleep or break with a focus in magic accuracy and enfeebling skill.
*Magic Hit Rate caps at 95%, and a miss is simply a reist, which has various values.
*The value of macc from INT depends on dINT. It can be as large as +1 or as low as +0.
*Resistance Ranks aka Resistance Tiers can dramatically impact magic accuracy.

===Affinity===

Affinity, also referred to as "Elemental Magic Attack Bonus", adds damage in a separate multiplier term from all standard forms of Magic Attack Bonus.

The base value for this term when no Affinity gear is present = 1.0.

For each stat on gear with Elemental affinity listed:
* Damage affinity +1: Affinity = 1.1
* Damage affinity +2: Affinity = 1.15
* Damage affinity +3: Affinity = 1.20
* Damage affinity +4: Affinity = 1.25
* Damage affinity +5: Affinity = 1.30
* Damage affinity +6: Affinity = 1.35

Elemental Magic Attack Bonus from gear is additive with this term. This statistic is found on gear such as [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring]].
* For example, equipping [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] (28%) and [[Archon Ring]] (5%) would make this term = 1.33 for {{dark}} damage.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] uniquely grants this stat for all elements. See its page for details.

Equipment usable by BLM that provides Elemental Magic Attack Bonus include:
* [[Ngqoqwanb]] provides 15% {{Ice}} elemental affinity.
* [[Ossa Grip]] provides 2% {{Ice}} elemental affinity when the user has [[Ice Spikes]] active.
* [[Marin Staff]] and [[Marin Staff +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Wind}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Kaikias' Cape]] provides 4% {{Wind}} elemental affinity.
* [[Quanpur Necklace]] provides 5% {{Earth}} elemental affinity.
* [[Weatherspoon Ring]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Light}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] provides 28% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Archon Ring]] provides 5% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] provides a range of 1-15% elemental affinity bonus for all elements dependent on distance from the target, for a maximum of 15% {{Elements}} elemental affinity if the target is within 1.93' from the player.

Reminder that spells like [[Comet]], [[Impact]], [[Aspir]], and [[Death]] are darkness elemental magic and ARE enhanced by equipment that boosts darkness elemental affinity!

===Cumulative Magic aka -ja Spells===

Cumulative Magic, usually just called "-ja" spells, are a very important part of playing BLM and raising the entire party's damage for a specific element.

Each time a cumulative magic spell is cast, a hidden debuff is placed on the monster which makes the monster take 5% additional damage from damage of that element for 60 seconds. Each successive cast of the same cumulative magic spell on the same target (from any player) will increase this elemental damage boost by an additional 5% of base damage; however, the window is not extended and will end 60 seconds after the first cumulative magic spell hit the monster even if another matching spell is cast, unless you use Empyrean legs (Extends the window all the way to 110 seconds duration if using [[Wicce Chausses +3]]).
*'''The total damage boost caps at 25%.'''

For example, assuming an initial casting damage of 1000 for [[Firaja]], casting [[Firaja]] repeatedly within 60 seconds will result in damage of 1000, 1050, 1100, etc. Other fire damage, such as [[Fire IV]] or [[Wildfire]], will also receive this damage boost (+5%, +10%, etc.) while in effect.

* [[Firaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Fire}} damage per cast
* [[Blizzaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Ice}} damage per cast
* [[Thundaja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Thunder}} damage per cast
* [[Aeroja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Wind}} damage per cast
* [[Stoneja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Earth}} damage per cast
* [[Waterja]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Water}} damage per cast
* [[Comet]] makes the target take 5% additional {{Dark}} damage per cast

Technically speaking, you only need to have your Empyrean legs equipped on the first cast of Cumulative Magic, but since the [[Wicce Chausses +3]] are BIS for both Free Nuking and Magic Bursting, you don't have to worry much about swapping.

===Death===

[[Death]] is a spell with very different mechanics that are worth knowing more about.

Death has a chance to instantly KO the enemy, though this does not affect NMs. If your enemy is not killed, the damage formula is:

* (Current MP×3 + Magic Damage)×(MAB/MDB)×(Affinity)×(Day/Weather)
** Note that the Magic Damage in the above formula is capped to 32

You need at least 1 MP to cast Death, and using it expends all of your current MP, even if you have Manafont or Manawell up.

Part of the trick to using Death properly is to build specific sets that ensure that you have the highest possible MP prior to use - this is why you'll see BLMs in specific Idle sets that maximize MP, and cast Death using a specific Precast set that retains as much MP as possible so that your MP isn't cut before you even cast the spell.

===Meteor===

Unfortunately, the coolest and most visually spectacular spell that Square-Enix added to the game has very limited use in endgame.

[[Meteor]] is unique in the fact that it's a non-elemental elemental magic spell - meaning that it uses your elemental magic skill to calculate its damage, but it is typeless and cannot be resisted. It does require you to use Elemental Seal before casting, so consider it on a 10-minute cooldown. It also takes eons to cast - consider building a precast set for this spell that crams in as much Quick Magic gear as you can.

* Unlike other nukes, elemental magic skill contributes directly to Meteor base damage, and the damage is independent of the enemy's INT.
** Meteor's base damage can be approximated as: (1+MAB/100)*floor(INT + Elemental Magic Skill/6)*3.5

Meteor is however worth discussing for at least one specific use-case: the Sortie D & H bosses.

If the fight with either of the Sortie D & H bosses go awry, they use a special ability called Vivisection - this is a full dispel on the party that also removes the NM's elemental weakness, meaning that all of your other spells do pitiful damage... with the exception of Meteor, as it's typeless damage! If the boss is low health and gets off Vivisection, consider using Meteor - it could save the run or at least dramatically save time for the fight to recover!

===Impact===

[[Impact]] is a very special spell that can only be cast if you're wearing one of two particular and difficult to acquire pieces of equipment - these cloaks must remain equipped both for the precast and midcast periods:

* [[Twilight Cloak]]
* [[Crepuscular Cloak]] - 119 version so has much higher MACC and stats

Impact is an ALL STATS DOWN debuff on the target that deals dark damage and lowers an enemy's Strength, Dexterity, Vitality, Agility, Intelligence, Mind, and Charisma.

* Each of the target's base stats is reduced by 20% of the value at the time of cast.
** Stat values are snapshotted on cast, so Impact will have the highest potency if applied before other reductions such as [[Elemental Debuff]]s, namely [[Burn]].

As you might imagine, this can be incredibly potent and can dramatically raise damage against certain NMs, in particular the Sortie C and G bosses.

Impact's maximum duration is 3 minutes, though if resisted the duration will be cut drastically. Since this is an elemental magic spell, a combination of elemental magic skill and magic accuracy is highly encouraged to ensure that this great spell lasts as long as possible against foes with high magic evasion. It's worth coordinating with a Red Mage in your party to have them cast Frazzle III on the enemy first before using Impact.

'''Note that ALL of the Empyrean Armor +3 is BIS for Free Nuking not only because of the stats on them but also because of the Empyrean Armor Proc wherein when Conserve MP is proc'd, extra damage is calculated based on double of the MP conserved.'''

===Other Essential BLM Gear===
====Hachirin-no-Obi====
[[Hachirin-no-Obi]] is absolutely essential and it's highly recommended to have your Gearswap LUA automatically equip it while nuking when the weather conditions are met. It's a tremendous damage boost and should be paired with [[Klimaform]] either you cast as /SCH or cast by a SCH in your party.

Weather Damage bonuses are as follows:
*+10% bonus for the element matching the day
*+10% bonus for the element matching single weather
**+20% when both single weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+20% bonus for the element matching single weather and day
**+30% when both single weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+25% bonus for the element matching double weather
**+35% when both double weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*+35% bonus for the element matching double weather and day
**+45% when both double weather and [[Iridescence]] procs
*The element that is weak to the day/weather can suffer the same percentage as above as a penalty
**e.g. {{Fire}} can get -10% during {{Water}} weather.

==Gearsets==

'''WIP to create new sets and recommendations for subjobs, Ambuscade capes, and other sets. Edits welcome but should not be unilaterally deleted without replacements in place.'''

===Precast Sets===
'''Note: BLMs receive the Elemental Celerity trait, which provides 30% faster casting (38% when mastered) for specifically elemental magic. However, this does NOT grant faster recast after you're done casting this spell. If you'd like to take advantage of this, you can only have 42 Fast Cast in your Elemental Magic Precast set and fill in the other slots with -DT and Magic Evasion gear.'''

==Tips and Tricks==
===Sortie===

Black Mages are extremely valuable for Sortie endgame runs and on top of their usual role of Magic Bursting everything into smithereens, compiled below are a few tips for bringing the maximum utility to your team:

* Most endgame Sortie groups split up at the beginning to accomplish objectives and receive Shard Key Items to gain access to Sortie's bosses. In just about all normal Sortie magic runs, the BLM will be solely responsible for accomplishing the A objectives:
** After buffing, run south from the start, pop [[Mana Wall]], and round up 6 Acuex enemies. If you have a good Mana Wall set, you should be able to tank them with ease and lose minimal MP.
** Cast [[Firaja]], [[Firaga III]], and other AOE spells to get the 6 Acuex enemies down to 20% or so HP.
** Do not kill any enemies with AOE spells; instead, swap to single target Fire magic and kill them one by one.
** You should spawn chests containing [[Ra'Kaznar Shard A]] and [[Ra'Kaznar Metal A]], as well as a bonus blue chest that has a chance to drop an Old Case.
** If you are lucky enough to see the roaming NM Obdella, you'll easily be able to tank it in your Mana Wall set and Free Nuke it to death for another chest.
* After A objectives are done, many parties start the boss order with D. If so, keep going south and join the rest of the party at the D boss.
* For all bosses, it's wise to save your SCH a strategem and use [[Manifestation]] and cast [[Klimaform]] on the entire party. Since Klimaform's duration and potency are set, you're better off using it and allowing your SCH to have a better strat economy.
* Specific tips and tricks for each boss:
** D/H bosses change their elemental affinities, so you'll have to quickly cast the opposite element to proc the boss. However, if the boss uses Flaming Kick or Icy Grasp, you CAN and SHOULD land [[Burn]] on the boss to raise the rest of the party's damage. If you are unlucky enough to cause the boss to use Vivisection, you should [[Elemental Seal]] then [[Meteor]] to either finish off the boss or at least speed up the end of the fight.
** A/E bosses are pretty simple and you should just [[Burn]] and burst Fire or Earth spells (up to your party's preference)
** B/F bosses alternate between electric hands (use Earth magic) and wind hands (use Ice magic). Annoying if you lose stacks of your -ja magic when it alternates, just soldier through it.
** C/G bosses are susceptible to [[Impact]] if you have access to it, and it is extremely potent. Save [[Burn]] until after you land Impact as it'll overall lower more INT in that order.

Zan: /* Enfeebling Sets need update */

Heya love the guide but, could it be possible to clarify a bit better which sets are precast/midcast/idle for the various sections? It's sometimes difficult at a glance to remember which section is for each as it is without always stopping and reading in details? I also mention that split as most gearswap users would think it that way I imagine. Thanks! -- [[User:Neviskio]] 07:28, 13 August 2022 (EDT)

Looking at the Pinnacle Nuking Set I come to the following Totals: Int 262, MACC 278, MAB 413. Do you find your MACC suffers on Omen Bosses like Kei, or on Dynamis D Statues? I only ask as I am working on re-tooling my GEO for nuking and was surprised the MACC wasn't higher.

--[[User:Wyrd|Wyrd]] ([[User talk:Wyrd|talk]])

: My linkshell and I use the Magic Burst Method for Kei, which falls under a different set compared to my nuking set. As for Statues, I haven't had any issues when it comes to resists, but there are a few pieces which can be used to give additional MACC if you find yourself being resisted too often. Having various buffs do aid in successfully being able to down statues consistently with minimal issues. I do run MACC food during these events which is probably why I haven't seen many resists compared to the set without food.
: -- [[User:Zan|Zan]] ([[User talk:Zan|talk]]) 18:17, 20 April 2021 (EDT)

" It is important to remember that you will need 900 combined skill in order for any additional Geomancy Potency, from pieces such as a Dunna or Idris, to take effect. "

This is incorrect. Even should you hae less than 900 skill, geomancy potency will still have an effect. --[[User:Chimerawizard|Chimerawizard]] ([[User talk:Chimerawizard|talk]]) 22:11, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

: Tested, tested again, tested a third time, and fixed the mistake on the page. Thank you for pointing this out.

Seems the Enfeebling section missed out on the Azimuth gear changes from +2/+3 -- [[User:Alexeina|Alexeina]] ([[User talk:Alexeina|talk]]) 13:15, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

: The TL;DR Answer: Yes, the entire Azimuth +3 set compared to the Geomancy +3 set is a net gain of +10 Magic Accuracy, +12 Mind, and +28 Enfeebling Skill. If you want straight raw numbers, then yes it wins, but realistically, the stat gain is probably just going to give you a marginal edge. The only thing Azimuth set gives you over Geomancy set is -DT, but at that point, it would be more situational than intended for the guide. The best set probably lies in a combination of the two sets.

== Roles ==
:"The ancient geomancers realized that the answer wasn't to control the land ... but rather let themselves be swept up by its current and borrow some of its strength." 
::''~ Sylvie''

A [[Geomancer]] is able to fill the role of support, magic damage dealer, enfeebler, and a secondary healer. In the primary role of support, a Geomancer aids the party with the use of Indicolure and Geocolure spells casting varying buffs and debuffs which can compliment each other and what the content the party is tackling. Indicolure spells are acquired by the use of a plate, similar to a spells scroll, and are either purchased from a vendor, the Auction House, or as a drop from a battlefield. With an indicolure spell geomancers are able to focus themselves as the conduit to emanate a spells effect. As a geomancer develops its own skill their luopan will resonate with the world, and when attuned to its calling, will learn the respective geocolure spell. When the geomancer uses a debuffing colure spell they must be on the enemy's enmity list in order for the spell to take effect. They can achieve this by casting a fast enfeebling spell such as [[Dia]] or [[Diaga]] on the enemy or by healing the tank which is on the enmity list. Failure to do so will result in a debuffing colure spell not to effect the enemy.

Geomancers secondary role is to serve as an magical damage dealer with their elemental magic and their own -ra variant spells which like an indicolure spell, emanates from the geomancer to hit all enemies within range. Through the use of the [[Cardinal Chant]] trait, a geomancer's elemental magic gains a boost based on the geomancer's direction in relation to the target. While their own variants of elemental-ra spells have an increased boost compared to other elemental spells, a geomancer would benefit from using this trait to gain benefits such as increased Magical Critical Rate or a Magical Attack Bonus.

A geomancer has a the same enfeebling magic skill as a [[Black Mage]] and the [[Geomancy Attire Set]] has a significant amount of Magic Accuracy. While they do no have the same amount or calibur of enfeeblings spells as a [[Red Mage]], only having access to [[Sleep]] and [[Sleep II]] natively, they are able to benefit from using the lower tier spells they gain from having a Black Mage or Red Mage as a sub job. Spells such as Gravity or Bind still have a use in all content in the means of crowd control and the increased Magic Accuracy ensures that a Geomancer can aid in landing these spells.

While only having a handful of dark spells, the geomancer has a high skill allowing it to benefit from using Drain and Aspir to quickly regain lost health and mana in order to continue their volley of spell casting. Through the use of having Black Mage as a subjob, Geomancer gains access to Stun allowing for an additional means to block powerful but slow casting spells and TP moves from enemies.

Lastly, while they have no native healing magic skill, a geomancer with either Red Mage, [[White Mage]], or [[Scholar]] as a subjob gains access to various cure spells. A well geared geomancer can aid in battle by using the additional MP they have to heal other front line jobs allowing dedicated healers to either focus on the tank or on removing status aliments form the party.

=== Indicolure ===
<hr style="border-color: darkgoldenrod">
:"Indicolures are self targeted spells which emanate from the Geomancer" 
::''~ Ruaumoko, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk6jqEozWBQ Final Fantasy XI: Geomancer Guide], 2017''

A Geomancer's indicolure spells originate around the caster, or if used with [[Entrust]], around the party member, adding buffs to party members or debuffs to enemies within the indicolure's radius. Indicolure spells are not effected by any abilities except for [[Bolster]] and those used with [[Entrust]] are not granted any Geomancy Potency effects from equipment such as the [[Nepote Bell]] or [[Dunna]]. An indicolure spell could provide an enemy with a debuff such as slow, paralysis, or decrease their attack, but only takes effect if the Geomancer is on the enemy's enmity list. The use of elemental or enfeebling Magic to end up on the enmity list is common practice, or by healing the tank after it establish hate on an enemy. Any party member that is entrusted with an indicolure spell '''must''' also be on the enemy's enmity list in order for the indicolure to effect the enemy.

Initially you can gain up to 42 seconds on top of the 180 second base duration of any Indicolure spell.

|valign="top" align="left" style="width: 33%" style="padding: 5px"|
With an increase of 50 seconds, the duration bonus from the [[Lifestream Cape]] is multiplicative, meaning that you will gain 10% duration from the 230 seconds your Indicolure spells are boosted to, resulting in a 253 seconds (4:13) duration.

|valign="top" align="left" style="width: 33%" style="padding: 5px"|
Once you unlock the [[Idris]], you would only use a [[Solstice]] or [[Gada]] when using [[Entrust]]. [[Pellucid Stone|Pellucid Stones]] and [[Taupe Stone|Taupe Stones]] have a maximum augment of +10% duration while [[Fern Stone|Fern Stones]] have a maximum augment of +11% duration. Even with a 8% duration increase, coupled with the 20% duration increase (maximum augment) on the Lifestream Cape, you can see an Indicolure spell duration of 346 seconds (5:46), assuming you have fully invested in the Indicolure Spell Effect Duration job points.

===Geocolure ===
<hr style="border-color: darkgoldenrod">
All geocolure spells summon a [[Luopan]] which the geocolure effect emanates from. It is important to remember that you will need 900 combined skill for maximum potency, and any additional Geomancy Potency, from pieces such as a Dunna or Idris, are static values regardless of combined skill. When building sets as a new Geomancer, you will have two sets, one casting the geocolure spell, the other when the Luopan summoned. Luopans have a native -50% Damage Taken, so look to maximize the damage taken pieces followed by regen so you Luopan will remains active, achieving the 10 minute time limit.

A Geomancer's abilities effect the Luopan, but [[Bolster]] does not stack with [[Ecliptic Attrition]] or [[Blaze of Glory]].

|valign="top" align="left" style="padding: 5px"| With a base perpetuation cost of 24 HP/tic, your Luopan will last approximately 210 seconds at level 99. Increasing the amount of regen to offset the perpetuation cost will allow the Luopan to remain out before finally despawning after 10 minutes. The Luopan has a base -50% Damage Taken trait like all other pets, and can be increased to the cap of -87.5% Damage Taken.
|valign="top" align="left" style="padding: 5px"| As you slowly work your way through gear progression, the Geomancy Mitaines will remain a staple in your kit until you complete an Idris. These pieces alone, if augmented correctly can give a Luopan an additional -25% Damage Taken and 16 HP/tic Regen. While the Bagua Charm is not necessary as it's Geomancy +5 Effect does not stack with the Dunna's effect, the +6% Absorb Damage chance could be beneficial to some players.
|valign="top" align="left" style="padding: 5px"| With the Idris and Geomancy Mitaines +3, your Luopan will be at the -87.5% Damage Taken cap allowing you to put more pieces with Pet: Regen on, offsetting and possibly negating the perpetuation cost of the Luopan even with [[Ecliptic Attrition]] in effect.

|-

|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Recast is reduced by 10 seconds per merit. Also reduces the recast time of Lasting Emanation.
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| 0~5/5
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Reducing the recast to 4:10 from 5:00 not only affects Ecliptic Attrition, but [[Lasting Emanation]], and with a good Luopan Regen set you can maintain this effect indefinitely under the right circumstances.

|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| 0/5
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| When starting as a Geomancer this may help due to the lack of Pet: Regen gear you have, but as you get better gear, this will be less useful over other choices.

|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Recast is reduced by 20 seconds per merit.
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| 0/5
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Just like Life Cycle merits, the lack of Pet: Damage Taken reduction gear you have will make this choice beneficial, but as your gear gets better it becomes less of a visible choice compared to others.

:Red Mage serves as the most common subjob for a geomancer due to the amount of utility it provides. Especially starting off, the ability to [[Convert]] allows for a geomancer to regain MP and being able to rapidly cure themselves to with minimal loss to the regained MP. Debuffs such as Silence and Dispel do not have tiers and will benefit from a geomancer's enfeebling skill. While they have a low enhancing skill, Haste and Refresh are both a set potency largely affected by Enhancing Duration Gear and while not as good as the higher tier spells Red Mages acquire at later levels, these can serve largely to aid when a Red Mage is not in the party/alliance.
* '''Abilities''': Convert
* '''Traits''': Fast Cast II, Magic Attack Bonus II, Magic Defense Bonus II
** Fast Cast III (ML30)
* '''Enhancing Magic''': Haste, Flurry, Refresh, Phalanx

:While using Black Mage as a subjob offers very little from Red Mage for traits, it offers more for in terms of crowd control. Though the high recast time for Stun will not allow for a Geomancer to act as a stun-lock such as Red Mage subbing Black Mage or Dark Knight, it still offers the ability to stop a hard hitting TP Move or spell. Sleepga is always useful for crowd control in content such as Dynamis Divergence and Omen, where large groups of enemies can easily wreck havoc on an inexperience or overly confident group.

:While not a standard subjob, Scholar offers a large amount of utility though it is locked behind the either Light or Dark Arts. Scholar will give Geomancer access to all status removal magic that using White Mage does but Stona. The use of Manifestation allows for Sleep and Sleep II to become Area of Effect debuffs to aid in crowd control and allows Dispel to act as a Dispelga prior to acquiring a Daybreak. While it has lost the use of Refresh, Phalanx, and Haste, it has gained the use of Storm spells giving weather bonus to both Geomancer's native elemental magic and Scholar's healing magic.

:A geomancer which is doing very little to contribute to a party is doing a great disservice to the party and then themselves. A Geomancer sits on a large amount of MP when not in dire need of recasting their colure spells and should be using this to aid the party. Using White Mage as a subjob gives Geomancer access to remove a majority of debuffs effecting the party to include [[Doom]] which can bring down any party, especially if a White Mage is not in the party to remove it themselves.

|valign=top style="border-top: 3px solid; border-color: darkgoldenrod; padding: 10px" colspan=2| The following two subjobs are niche in the implementation. While they are strong options for soloing, allowing the Geomancer to get into the fray, many groups may look down upon them being used without either a strong argument to support their use or an agreement between the Geomancer and the party. The idea is that to provide a Geomancer with the Attack and Accuracy needed to perform well under the circumstance, there is a trade off on the longevity of the Luopan and the Geomancer themself.

|-
| style="border-right: 1px solid; border-color: darkgoldenrod; padding: 5px" |
:While boosting an impressive amount of skills to add to your kit when soloing, using Ninja for a subjob does not provide the geomancer with a means to heal themselves. There is a time when you may find a purpose to this, such as an occasional Ambuscade fight or when in CP Parties and you have down time to get into the fray, but those times are few and far in between. The lack of skill in Ninjutsu Magic means that most of your damage would be coming from the amount of Magic Attack Bonus from gear or traits, but not enough to use effectively in most endgame content.

:Agreed to be a fun combination, using Dancer as a subjob compared to Ninja has it's trade offs. The higher delay on clubs coupled with the lower Dual Wield trait means a higher focus on dual wield gear costing valuable slots for your accuracy and attack accessories. Using Haste Samba would enable the party to benefit from the 5% Job Ability Haste but depending on your party setup may be unnecessary. The only true benefit this gains over using Ninja is access to Curing Waltz and Healing Waltz allowing for curing potential and status aliment removal. Steps add an additional tool but their use may be a concern if a geomancer does not have the accuracy to successfully land them.

It falls further from favor as a nuking piece if you already have an Amalric Robe +1 or high augments on your Merlinic Jubbah. It does not gain any benefit to it's augment to Bolster, as all four versions of this piece increase Bolster's effects by 30 seconds.

If you are able to get those augments, then this set will max both Pet Damage Taken and Pet Regen, allowing for the Luopan to remain for the full 10 minutes unless the damage taken is too much for the Luopan to recover itself. The use of Ecliptic Attrition will burden this set without the use of either [[Dematerialize]] or [[Life Cycle]].

While the [[Bagua Galero +2]] has +500 Luopan HP, the Luopan only gains this HP if the Galero is being worn sacrificing the possible -4% Damage Taken and +3 Regen from the Telchine Cap.

If you are unable to find anything with Magic Attack Bonus or Magic Accuracy, equip pieces which gives you additional INT. The more INT you have compared to your target, the more damage your spells end up doing.

|valign="top" align="left" style="padding: 5px"| All Merlinic Pieces should have +10 INT, +30 Magic Attack Bonus, and +30 Magic Accuracy on them. While Magic Damage seems beneficial to have, it may not offset the loss in Magic Attack Bonus on a piece. Compared to Amalric Attire +1, the Merlinic Attire Set has significantly less Magic Attack Bonus but a significant amount of Magic Accuracy and Intelligence which will effect a spell's hit and resist rate.

|valign="top" align="left" style="padding: 5px"| The Amalric Doublet +1 and Amalric Gages +1 will add an additional 13 Magic Attack Bonus at the cost of 5 Magic Accuracy and 6 Intelligence. Overall a Geomancer will see better damage numbers with this combination compared to using all Bagua Attire +3. As for the accessories, a Geomancer will want to mix Magic Attack Bonus and Magic Accuracy in order to maximize between the damage dealt and a spell being resisted. There are several pieces that trade a few points of one for the other and can be traded out based on what your group needs.

=== Magic Burst Sets ===
<hr style="border-color: darkgoldenrod">


While not having any native Magic Burst Bonuses a Geomancer is able to equip several piece with Magic Burst Bonus, charging it's nukes when closing Skillchains. The longer the skillchain the more damage the magic burst does, so take advantage of using higher damage nukes to close the bursts at later steps. Through the use of a geomancer's -ra spells as well as haste and fast cast sets, they can double burst bypassing the [[Nuke Wall]] for full damage on two nukes. As a magic burst set is commonly one of the last sets you will be competing, this guide assumes the geomancer is between between the mid and high tiers nuking sets and selects gear and accessories from those above listed sets.

Thanks to the guys over in the LS taking the chance in letting me come in and pick up Geomancer. I appreciate the hours we spent grinding out content watching me bust bubbles before getting it right and then helping me gear it up so we can watch it ''go boom!'' This is for you guys! Another shout out to Articchaos for helping out with the testing and [[User:Brahmsz|Braams]] for ideas that gave this guide a breath of life rather than making it seem like an advance calculus class.

== Roles ==
:"The ancient geomancers realized that the answer wasn't to control the land ... but rather let themselves be swept up by its current and borrow some of its strength." 
::''~ Sylvie''

A [[Geomancer]] is able to fill the role of support, magic damage dealer, enfeebler, and a secondary healer. In the primary role of support, a Geomancer aids the party with the use of Indicolure and Geocolure spells casting varying buffs and debuffs which can compliment each other and what the content the party is tackling. Indicolure spells are acquired by the use of a plate, similar to a spells scroll, and are either purchased from a vendor, the Auction House, or as a drop from a battlefield. With an indicolure spell geomancers are able to focus themselves as the conduit to emanate a spells effect. As a geomancer develops its own skill their luopan will resonate with the world, and when attuned to its calling, will learn the respective geocolure spell. When the geomancer uses a debuffing colure spell they must be on the enemy's enmity list in order for the spell to take effect. They can achieve this by casting a fast enfeebling spell such as [[Dia]] or [[Diaga]] on the enemy or by healing the tank which is on the enmity list. Failure to do so will result in a debuffing colure spell not to effect the enemy.

Geomancers secondary role is to serve as an magical damage dealer with their elemental magic and their own -ra variant spells which like an indicolure spell, emanates from the geomancer to hit all enemies within range. Through the use of the [[Cardinal Chant]] trait, a geomancer's elemental magic gains a boost based on the geomancer's direction in relation to the target. While their own variants of elemental-ra spells have an increased boost compared to other elemental spells, a geomancer would benefit from using this trait to gain benefits such as increased Magical Critical Rate or a Magical Attack Bonus.

A geomancer has a the same enfeebling magic skill as a [[Black Mage]] and the [[Geomancy Attire Set]] has a significant amount of Magic Accuracy. While they do no have the same amount or calibur of enfeeblings spells as a [[Red Mage]], only having access to [[Sleep]] and [[Sleep II]] natively, they are able to benefit from using the lower tier spells they gain from having a Black Mage or Red Mage as a sub job. Spells such as Gravity or Bind still have a use in all content in the means of crowd control and the increased Magic Accuracy ensures that a Geomancer can aid in landing these spells.

While only having a handful of dark spells, the geomancer has a high skill allowing it to benefit from using Drain and Aspir to quickly regain lost health and mana in order to continue their volley of spell casting. Through the use of having Black Mage as a subjob, Geomancer gains access to Stun allowing for an additional means to block powerful but slow casting spells and TP moves from enemies.

Lastly, while they have no native healing magic skill, a geomancer with either Red Mage, [[White Mage]], or [[Scholar]] as a subjob gains access to various cure spells. A well geared geomancer can aid in battle by using the additional MP they have to heal other front line jobs allowing dedicated healers to either focus on the tank or on removing status aliments form the party.

=== Indicolure ===
<hr style="border-color: darkgoldenrod">
:"Indicolures are self targeted spells which emanate from the Geomancer" 
::''~ Ruaumoko, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk6jqEozWBQ Final Fantasy XI: Geomancer Guide], 2017''

A Geomancer's indicolure spells originate around the caster, or if used with [[Entrust]], around the party member, adding buffs to party members or debuffs to enemies within the indicolure's radius. Indicolure spells are not effected by any abilities except for [[Bolster]] and those used with [[Entrust]] are not granted any Geomancy Potency effects from equipment such as the [[Nepote Bell]] or [[Dunna]]. An indicolure spell could provide an enemy with a debuff such as slow, paralysis, or decrease their attack, but only takes effect if the Geomancer is on the enemy's enmity list. The use of elemental or enfeebling Magic to end up on the enmity list is common practice, or by healing the tank after it establish hate on an enemy. Any party member that is entrusted with an indicolure spell '''must''' also be on the enemy's enmity list in order for the indicolure to effect the enemy.

Initially you can gain up to 42 seconds on top of the 180 second base duration of any Indicolure spell.

|valign="top" align="left" style="width: 33%" style="padding: 5px"|
With an increase of 50 seconds, the duration bonus from the [[Lifestream Cape]] is multiplicative, meaning that you will gain 10% duration from the 230 seconds your Indicolure spells are boosted to, resulting in a 253 seconds (4:13) duration.

|valign="top" align="left" style="width: 33%" style="padding: 5px"|
Once you unlock the [[Idris]], you would only use a [[Solstice]] or [[Gada]] when using [[Entrust]]. [[Pellucid Stone|Pellucid Stones]] and [[Taupe Stone|Taupe Stones]] have a maximum augment of +10% duration while [[Fern Stone|Fern Stones]] have a maximum augment of +11% duration. Even with a 8% duration increase, coupled with the 20% duration increase (maximum augment) on the Lifestream Cape, you can see an Indicolure spell duration of 346 seconds (5:46), assuming you have fully invested in the Indicolure Spell Effect Duration job points.

===Geocolure ===
<hr style="border-color: darkgoldenrod">
All geocolure spells summon a [[Luopan]] which the geocolure effect emanates from. It is important to remember that you will need 900 combined skill for maximum potency, and any additional Geomancy Potency, from pieces such as a Dunna or Idris, are static values regardless of combined skill. When building sets as a new Geomancer, you will have two sets, one casting the geocolure spell, the other when the Luopan summoned. Luopans have a native -50% Damage Taken, so look to maximize the damage taken pieces followed by regen so you Luopan will remains active, achieving the 10 minute time limit.

A Geomancer's abilities effect the Luopan, but [[Bolster]] does not stack with [[Ecliptic Attrition]] or [[Blaze of Glory]].

|valign="top" align="left" style="padding: 5px"| With a base perpetuation cost of 24 HP/tic, your Luopan will last approximately 210 seconds at level 99. Increasing the amount of regen to offset the perpetuation cost will allow the Luopan to remain out before finally despawning after 10 minutes. The Luopan has a base -50% Damage Taken trait like all other pets, and can be increased to the cap of -87.5% Damage Taken.
|valign="top" align="left" style="padding: 5px"| As you slowly work your way through gear progression, the Geomancy Mitaines will remain a staple in your kit until you complete an Idris. These pieces alone, if augmented correctly can give a Luopan an additional -25% Damage Taken and 16 HP/tic Regen. While the Bagua Charm is not necessary as it's Geomancy +5 Effect does not stack with the Dunna's effect, the +6% Absorb Damage chance could be beneficial to some players.
|valign="top" align="left" style="padding: 5px"| With the Idris and Geomancy Mitaines +3, your Luopan will be at the -87.5% Damage Taken cap allowing you to put more pieces with Pet: Regen on, offsetting and possibly negating the perpetuation cost of the Luopan even with [[Ecliptic Attrition]] in effect.

|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Restores up to 5% additional MP per merit.
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| 0~5/5
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| This group will benefit you until you are better able to manage MP either through spells, abilities, and gear.
|-
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| [[Ecliptic Attrition]] Recast
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Recast is reduced by 10 seconds per merit. Also reduces the recast time of Lasting Emanation.
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| 0~5/5
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Reducing the recast to 4:10 from 5:00 not only affects Ecliptic Attrition, but [[Lasting Emanation]], and with a good Luopan Regen set you can maintain this effect indefinitely under the right circumstances.
|-
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| [[Life Cycle]] Recast
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Recast is reduced by 20 seconds per merit.
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| 0/5
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| When starting as a Geomancer this may help due to the lack of Pet: Regen gear you have, but as you get better gear, this will be less useful over other choices.
|-
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| [[Blaze of Glory]] Recast
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Recast is reduced by 20 seconds per merit.
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| 5/5
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Gaining the +50% Luopan Potency every 8:20 is noticeable, especially when rotated with Ecliptic Attrition. With a good Luopan Regen set you to keep this effect up indefinitely under the right circumstances.
|-
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| [[Dematerialize]] Recast
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Recast is reduced by 20 seconds per merit.
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| 0/5
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| Just like Life Cycle merits, the lack of Pet: Damage Taken reduction gear you have will make this choice beneficial, but as your gear gets better it becomes less of a visible choice compared to others.

|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| 0/5
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| With a good Fast Cast set you will not need the elemental magic casting time reduction. A 1% casting time reduction is the same as having 1% Fast Cast, but only for the magic type being cast oppose to all magic types.
|-
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| [[Mending Halation]]
|style="background:#fde1d2; border-color: #fc8b4d;"| The Luopan will vanish and restore HP to party members within the area of effect. Recast Time: 5 minutes. Additional merits increase HP recovery by 5% per merit.

:Red Mage serves as the most common subjob for a geomancer due to the amount of utility it provides. Especially starting off, the ability to [[Convert]] allows for a geomancer to regain MP and being able to rapidly cure themselves to with minimal loss to the regained MP. Debuffs such as Silence and Dispel do not have tiers and will benefit from a geomancer's enfeebling skill. While they have a low enhancing skill, Haste and Refresh are both a set potency largely affected by Enhancing Duration Gear and while not as good as the higher tier spells Red Mages acquire at later levels, these can serve largely to aid when a Red Mage is not in the party/alliance.
* '''Abilities''': Convert
* '''Traits''': Fast Cast II, Magic Attack Bonus II, Magic Defense Bonus II
** Fast Cast III (ML30)
* '''Enhancing Magic''': Haste, Flurry, Refresh, Phalanx

:While using Black Mage as a subjob offers very little from Red Mage for traits, it offers more for in terms of crowd control. Though the high recast time for Stun will not allow for a Geomancer to act as a stun-lock such as Red Mage subbing Black Mage or Dark Knight, it still offers the ability to stop a hard hitting TP Move or spell. Sleepga is always useful for crowd control in content such as Dynamis Divergence and Omen, where large groups of enemies can easily wreck havoc on an inexperience or overly confident group.

:While not a standard subjob, Scholar offers a large amount of utility though it is locked behind the either Light or Dark Arts. Scholar will give Geomancer access to all status removal magic that using White Mage does but Stona. The use of Manifestation allows for Sleep and Sleep II to become Area of Effect debuffs to aid in crowd control and allows Dispel to act as a Dispelga prior to acquiring a Daybreak. While it has lost the use of Refresh, Phalanx, and Haste, it has gained the use of Storm spells giving weather bonus to both Geomancer's native elemental magic and Scholar's healing magic.

:A geomancer which is doing very little to contribute to a party is doing a great disservice to the party and then themselves. A Geomancer sits on a large amount of MP when not in dire need of recasting their colure spells and should be using this to aid the party. Using White Mage as a subjob gives Geomancer access to remove a majority of debuffs effecting the party to include [[Doom]] which can bring down any party, especially if a White Mage is not in the party to remove it themselves.

|valign=top style="border-top: 3px solid; border-color: darkgoldenrod; padding: 10px" colspan=2| The following two subjobs are niche in the implementation. While they are strong options for soloing, allowing the Geomancer to get into the fray, many groups may look down upon them being used without either a strong argument to support their use or an agreement between the Geomancer and the party. The idea is that to provide a Geomancer with the Attack and Accuracy needed to perform well under the circumstance, there is a trade off on the longevity of the Luopan and the Geomancer themself.

|-

:While boosting an impressive amount of skills to add to your kit when soloing, using Ninja for a subjob does not provide the geomancer with a means to heal themselves. There is a time when you may find a purpose to this, such as an occasional Ambuscade fight or when in CP Parties and you have down time to get into the fray, but those times are few and far in between. The lack of skill in Ninjutsu Magic means that most of your damage would be coming from the amount of Magic Attack Bonus from gear or traits, but not enough to use effectively in most endgame content.

:Agreed to be a fun combination, using Dancer as a subjob compared to Ninja has it's trade offs. The higher delay on clubs coupled with the lower Dual Wield trait means a higher focus on dual wield gear costing valuable slots for your accuracy and attack accessories. Using Haste Samba would enable the party to benefit from the 5% Job Ability Haste but depending on your party setup may be unnecessary. The only true benefit this gains over using Ninja is access to Curing Waltz and Healing Waltz allowing for curing potential and status aliment removal. Steps add an additional tool but their use may be a concern if a geomancer does not have the accuracy to successfully land them.

It falls further from favor as a nuking piece if you already have an Amalric Robe +1 or high augments on your Merlinic Jubbah.

Any empty space should be filled with Pet Damage Taken or Pet Physical Damage Taken reductions, Pet Regen, then the Geomancer's Damage Taken and Physical Damage Taken.

If you are able to get those augments, then this set will max both Pet Damage Taken and Pet Regen, allowing for the Luopan to remain for the full 10 minutes unless the damage taken is too much for the Luopan to recover itself. The use of Ecliptic Attrition will burden this set without the use of either [[Dematerialize]] or [[Life Cycle]].

While the [[Bagua Galero +2]] has +500 Luopan HP, the Luopan only gains this HP if the Galero is being worn sacrificing the possible -4% Damage Taken and +3 Regen from the Telchine Cap.

|valign="top" align="left" style="padding: 5px"| Most of the beginner nuking gear can be found between Ambuscade, Domain Invasion, or previously released content. If you are unable to find anything with Magic Attack Bonus or Magic Accuracy, equip pieces which gives you additional INT. The more INT you have compared to your target, the more damage your spells end up doing.

|valign="top" align="left" style="padding: 5px"| All Merlinic Pieces should have +10 INT, +30 Magic Attack Bonus, and +30 Magic Accuracy on them. While Magic Damage seems beneficial to have, it may not offset the loss in Magic Attack Bonus on a piece. Compared to Amalric Attire +1, the Merlinic Attire Set has significantly less Magic Attack Bonus but a significant amount of Magic Accuracy and Intelligence which will effect a spell's hit and resist rate.

|valign="top" align="left" style="padding: 5px"| The Amalric Doublet +1 and Amalric Gages +1 will add an additional 13 Magic Attack Bonus at the cost of 5 Magic Accuracy and 6 Intelligence. Overall a Geomancer will see better damage numbers with this combination compared to using all Bagua Attire +3. As for the accessories, a Geomancer will want to mix Magic Attack Bonus and Magic Accuracy in order to maximize between the damage dealt and a spell being resisted. There are several pieces that trade a few points of one for the other and can be traded out based on what your group needs.

=== Magic Burst Sets ===
<hr style="border-color: darkgoldenrod">


While not having any native Magic Burst Bonuses a Geomancer is able to equip several piece with Magic Burst Bonus, charging it's nukes when closing Skillchains. The longer the skillchain the more damage the magic burst does, so take advantage of using higher damage nukes to close the bursts at later steps. Through the use of a geomancer's -ra spells as well as haste and fast cast sets, they can double burst bypassing the [[Nuke Wall]] for full damage on two nukes. As a magic burst set is commonly one of the last sets you will be competing, this guide assumes the geomancer is between between the mid and high tiers nuking sets and selects gear and accessories from those above listed sets.

== Acknowledgements and Dedication ==
Thanks to all those along the way who helped out especially the information put out by [[User:UsedtobeRDM|UsedtobeRDM]] and their [[Geomancer's_Thought_Bubble|Geomancer's Thought Bubble]], Brixy and his [https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/41358/bubble-trouble-a-geomancer-guide/ Bubble Trouble] guide and, Ruaumoko and his [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk6jqEozWBQ Final Fantasy XI: Geomancer Guide] video as well as the countless threads between BG-Wiki, FFXIAH, and Reddit.

Thanks to the guys over in the LS taking the chance in letting me come in and pick up Geomancer. I appreciate the hours we spent grinding out content watching me bust bubbles before getting it right and then helping me gear it up so we can watch it ''go boom!'' This is for you guys! Another shout out to [[User:Brahmsz|Braams]] for his insane ideas that we threw in here to give this guide a breath of life rather than making it seem like an advance calculus class.
