Introduction
To begin with, I think it's fair to introduce myself. I've been playing for about two years as of this writing, and even before that time, I knew I wanted to be a Red Mage. Some of my favorite characters in previous games had been Red Mages, and the job expresses all the versatility and ability that I was looking for in a main job.
Some of the things that I believe in very strongly in reference to this job and FFXI in general are job excellence, experimentation (within reason), and courtesy. By job excellence, I mean having up-to-date gear and spells (as applicable) to your level, within reason, as best as you are able. In addition, it also expresses a drive to acquire the skills necessary to be one of the best at your job. Now, I'm not asking everyone to be another Avesta (FTW), but I am asking you to be more than just a Red Mage that stands in the back, throws a couple Hastes, two Refreshes, and calls it a day. I'll get into experimentation later, and courtesy should be self-explanatory.
I hope no matter what your experience level is, that you walk away from this guide having gained something from it. Please feel free to let me know how I might improve this guide, what you thought after reading it, or even just drop me a note to say "Hi." If you do have anything to add or would otherwise like to leave feedback or corrections, please use the main article's discussion page only, as that will allow me to receive it with the greatest efficiency.
Thank you for your time, and I wish you all the best.
