This guide contains gear choices for the aspiring Black Mage. I am aware that there are

many other choices suitable for the job at given levels. What i have picked out are the ones

that are most noteworthy only. That is, they will allow the player to do the best job possible.

Also, most BLM gear below 30 is pretty basic and there's not much special about it. So those

will have to be chosen at the player's discretion.

Weapon

Lvl	Armor	Notes/How To Obtain
1		Woodworking (6^/17) Yield: Maple Wand HQ 1: Maple Wand +1 Wind Crystal 1 x Chocobo Feather 1 x Maple Lumber Low level INT boosts are great. These stat boosting wands will last you all the way to elemental staves.
9		Woodworking (14^/25) Yield: Willow Wand HQ: Willow Wand +1 Wind Crystal 1 x Insect Wing 1 x Willow Lumber
10		===Notorious Monster=== Nunyenunc A wonderful tool for healing MP.
18		Woodworking (23^/34) Yield: Yew Wand HQ 1: Yew Wand +1 Wind Crystal 1 x Yew Lumber 1 x Yagudo Feather
32		Woodworking (32^/43) Yield: Chestnut Wand HQ 1: Solid Wand Wind Crystal 1 x Chestnut Lumber 1 x Bird Feather
48		Woodworking (47^/58) Yield: Rose Wand HQ 1: Rose Wand +1 Wind Crystal 1 x Rosewood Lumber 1 x Black Chocobo Feather
51	Elemental Staves	These are the backbone of the black mage. Macroing these in with spells of the same element can be a huge help in spell resistance. High quality staves have additional accuracy and potency that can make them very desirable. I personally, would only reccommend HQ Thunder, Ice, and Dark staves as they are the most used and most helpful in Stun, Sleep, Drain, Aspir, and of course can make the world of difference in ice and thunder magic (which is typically the most devastating).
80+ Trial Staves	Trial of the Magian +5 Magic Damage Staves	==Trial of the Magians==

Sub

Lvl	Armor	Notes/How To Obtain
60		Leathercraft (63^/74) Yield: Bugard Strap HQ 1: Bugard Strap +1 Wind Crystal 2 x Bugard Leather The first useful grip due using INT wands till 51, and a good one at that.
60	File:AriesianGrip.png	===Campaign=== Windurst Campaign Items Rank: Medals Cost: 30,000 (45,000) Allied Notes Just wow, Hmp on a grip. a must have
	Elemental grips	Just like elemental staves, grips have added accuracy to the matching element and in this case, +20 mp. Ice/Thunder/Dark and maybe Wind are going to be the most useful for bind/sleep/stun/gravity. I would just stay with those because face it, who really wants another whole set of grips to go with each staff.

73	File:Zenith Crown.png	===Notorious Monster=== Byakko For those that are desperate for mp to go with their INT, this is a good way to do it.
74		===Artifact Armor +1 (Limbus)=== Needed: Wizard's Petasos Diabolic Silk Diabolic Yarn 25 Ancient Beastcoin Ether Leather This is the best head piece u can acquire as BLM unless you have Morrigan's Coronal, only using the AFv2 hat for HNM.
74		===Dynamis=== Xarcabard Tavnazia A very nice piece for HNM. Extra elemental skill = less resists. Again, more enfeebling magic for crowd control.

Lvl	Armor	Notes/How To Obtain
10	File:Royal Footman's Tunic.JPG	===Nation Conquest=== San d'Oria Conquest Points Items Current Conquest Rank: 1st Place Cost: 1000
15	File:SandOrianTunic.jpg	Clothcraft (22^/33) Yield: San d'Orian Tunic HQ 1: Kingdom Tunic Earth Crystal 1 x Royal Footman's Tunic 1 x Grass Cloth 1 x Cotton Thread
20		Clothcraft (53^/64) Yield: Black Tunic HQ 1: Mage's Tunic Earth Crystal 2 x Velvet Cloth 3 x Linen Cloth 1 x Silver Thread
29		Clothcraft (26^/37), Leathercraft (20^/31) Yield: Seer's Tunic HQ 1: Seer's Tunic +1 Earth Crystal 1 x Wool Thread 3 x Cotton Cloth 2 x Linen Cloth 1 x Sheep Leather Even though it doesn't have any INT, this is a pretty standard Hmp piece that will last up until you can get a Shaman's Cloak.
33		===Quest=== The Goblin Tailor Galka RSE is amazing for BLM, eh?
55		===Campaign=== Windurst Campaign Items Rank Bronze Star Cost: 10,000 Allied Notes At 55, a good piece in place of the Shaman's Cloak, can let you use a head piece too.
56	File:ShamansCloak.png	===Notorious Monster=== Centurio X-I An all around good cloak, but it will take out your head gear. I personally used this cloak all the way to 71, since the AF hat does not provide elemental skill, but only INT. As a solo blm from 37-75, skill was extremely important. However, if you manage to party your way up, the 3 bodies above are worth wearing a headpiece as long as your life is not dependent on resists. See Head piece section for possible choices.
58		Bonecraft (56^/67), Clothcraft (26^/37) Yield: Justaucorps HQ 1: Justaucorps +1 Earth Crystal 1 x Wool Robe 1 x Gold Thread 1 x Beetle Shell 2 x Scorpion Claw
59		Leathercraft (70^/81), Alchemy (46^/57), Clothcraft (41^/52) Yield: Black Cotehardie HQ 1: Flora Cotehardie Earth Crystal 1 x Beak Jerkin 1 x Black Ink 1 x Fiend Blood 1 x Malboro Fiber 1 x Mistletoe 1 x Ram Leather 1 x Tiger Leather 1 x Velvet Robe The HQ gives +1 INT. Also very handy for HP down gear (For activating Sorcerer's Ring)
68		Clothcraft (89^/100) Yield: Black Cloak HQ 1: Demon's Cloak Earth Crystal 1 x Gold Thread 1 x Rainbow Cloth 3 x Raxa 2 x Silk Cloth 1 x Silver Thread Yay! Refresh This replaces the Shaman's cloak. If you're not worried about resists, at least idle in this for the refresh.
72		Clothcraft (96^/107), Goldsmithing (50^/61) Leathercraft (30^/41) Yield: Errant Houppelande HQ 1: Mahatma Houppelande Earth Crystal 1 x Gold Chain 2 x Rainbow Cloth 1 x Rainbow Thread 1 x Ram Leather 2 x Silk Cloth 1 x Velvet Cloth You're Lv. 72! Bask in the massive INT of Errant / Mahatma. Pairing this with the AF hat is an awesome combo. A nuking staple for 71-72, good stoneskin macro piece, and unless you have the Oracle's, use the Houppelande for Hmp.
72	File:Oracle's Robe.png	===ZNM (Tier IV)=== Sarameya This can effectively/debatably replace for Houpplande (except using for stoneskin macro) AND a Igqira Weskit. (There is alot of debate about Magic Acc vs. Elemental Skill.)
73		Bonecraft (99^/110) Leathercraft (57^/68) Alchemy (44^/55) Yield: Igqira Weskit HQ 1: Genie Weskit Earth Crystal 1 x Coeurl Leather 1 x Lapis Lazuli 1 x Dhalmel Leather 1 x Dragon Talon 1 x Manticore Hair 1 x Avatar Blood 1 x High-Quality Bugard Skin 1 x Bugard Tusk The BLM standard. Rivaled by a well augmented Royal Redingote and decimated only by Oracle's Robe and Morrigan's.
73	File:Dalmatica.PNG	===Notorious Monster=== Adamantoise Aspidochelone For BLM, a show piece with Refresh, Magic Defense Bonus, and Converts HP to MP for triggering your Sorcerer's Ring latent (however, there are easier methods to obtain this). Difficult to obtain and more work than its worth for most without an HNM shell.
74		===Notorious Monster=== Dark Ixion Get this if you want the rights to say "I took down the pony". Other than that, its a nice piece, but not the best for this slot due to you can't wear headgear with it.
74		===Dynamis=== Beaucedine Tavnazia This will replace your Black Cloak as your standard refresh piece.
75		===Limbus (Central Temenos - 4th Floor) Proto-Ultima Piece: Ultima's Heart Best Drain/Aspir Body
75	File:Morriganrobe.png	===Salvage=== Needed: Nemain's Robe Bodb's Robe Macha's Coat Imperial Wootz Ingot x12 Imp. Gold Piece x10 Without a doubt the best BLM body in the game. Replaces your Sorcerer's Coat for Refresh.
75		===Mission=== A Crystalline Prophecy final reward I recommend this piece if you are lacking in INT, as you can augment with +4 MAB and +4 Magic Accuracy, making it marginally better than a weskit.
78		===Abyssea=== Cost: 5,000 Cruor
79		==Abyssea - La Theine== Ovni
80	File:Arcanerobe.jpg	==Revitalization Team== Shadhavar
80		==Synthesis Recipes== Bonecraft () Clothcraft () Leathercraft () Yield: Yhel Jacket HQ1: Yhel Jacket +1 2 x Manticore Leather 2 x Buffalo Leather 1 x Phrygian Gold Ingot 1 x Amphiptere Claw 2 x Regurgitated Wing If resists are a non-issue, nuke to your heart's content in this.
89		==Trial of the Magians== +1 - Trial 4339 +2 - Trial 4379
90		==Abyssea - Empyreal Paradox== Shinryu While this is an awesome piece, it comes with the drawback of no head piece (/sigh fail SE). You'll be casting Impact with it only.

50		===BCNM=== An Awful Autopsy Eye of the Tiger Rapid Raptors The Final Bout
54		===Artifact Armor Quest=== Borghertz's Sorcerous Hands Just...awesome. You will never get tired of these. +15 skill is the biggest boost you can get.
