So a couple of notes extra notes:
If you aren't getting exp it's likely because your not tagging/hitting the leeches before they're eaten
I recommend setting the cups aetheryte to return location in case you die
For extra safety you can get a couple extra spells like acorn bomb which will put enemies asleep or at the higher levels mighty guard and some gear upgrades will let you survive a hit or two
Also here is a link my blue mage playlist: czcams.com/play/PLtV2UIPuQRfn3-aL7fRQxg9aiUtRPaFck.html
If you have the sleep spell, put the leech to sleep then pull the Clionid over to it, less chance of being hit. After it eats the leech run until you no longer have aggro, repeat.
Literally started blue mage at lvl 1 today and did this to 80. Took around 6ish hours total.
Thanks for the guide!
An even safer method I found from a comment in another YT video is to use Sleep on the Leech, and then Sticky Tongue the Clionid into it. By the time the Clionid is unstunned and eats the Leech you've run far enough away to be completely safe. No chance of being auto-attacked by either. If there was a second Leech in my getaway path I used Swiftcast > Sleep on it while running so it doesn't have a chance to attack me while I'm still trying to get away from the Clionid.
Thank you so much for this alternate method! It is far easier and safer. Sleep being a Role spell you automatically learn at level 10 and Sticky Tongue being from a level 14 Toxic Toad in Central Thanalan makes this trivial to get set up, too! I set my Home Point to Ondo Cups in case I made a mistake and died for quick respawns (only died once) and blasted through 70 levels in less than two hours!
@@njdss4 Nice! Glad it helped 🙂
Bless you, this is such a big brain change to this method that changes it from tedious kiting to pretty straightforward farming.
So after trying the video and this strategy, this is by far the superior method when you're ultra low level. It's so much safer, giving you a chance to bail if you get aggro before you sticky tongue, and giving you a stun with sticky tongue to get distance with or without sprint.
A few notes; Run down the hill immediately after sticky-tonguing to out-range the auto, you can also Swiftcast Sleep if you grab any additional mob's aggro. Food and earrings help, doing it three times I went from levels 18-33. Obviously it'll slow down, but good music/podcast and the can-do spirit can help. Make sure when you pull the Clionid, the leech is inbetween you and it when you're done. That way it will auto-eat. If it's to the side it'll miss it.
Thanks for this suggestion. I thought I was just bad because the auto-attacks were doing 20x my hp. This is THE strategy.
Thank you!!
I also just started blu lol. Was working off the old guide, but now gonna try this later. Thanks for the upload!
started blu today and then I find this right away, you're amazing! :D
also summon your chocobo and put him on heal duty.. if you wind up getting hit at higher levels he can heal you up and also he gets xp too
Super excellent! I needed to catch up from level 60 and I didn't have anyone to help me this time around. This trick maxed me up in a couple of hours. Thanks!
Thanks for the guide man! Did some power leveling for a glam but having fun with Blue mage so far! Cheers!
Pro tip: put the leech to sleep after the first one and run around it till the Clonid eats it... Much easier after that
Nasty Namazu, you guide me to glorious victory once again. I put off my solo leveling a while back after following your guide to Lv.30. And here you bless me again with a wonderful solo guide when I need it the most.
Shit this method is amazing, thanks a lot dude. Went from 65 to 76 in a few hours, still doing to 80 as we speak, but it should finish soon.
You are a lifesaver. This worked really well for me.
This is by far the most efficient and preferred leveling technique. Nevermind that I'd have to go back to old content to learn other spells from the ground up; I'd have the leveled gear and could last much longer grinding content by myself. Thank you so much for this tidbit!
This method is great! I was level 44 from leveling killing mobs a few levels above me, took a while and was not very fun.
After watching this on Monday, I leveled to 80 in a few hours total, doing it in a few chunks. I did it in crazy low gear, saving my poetics for a Cryptolurk once I hit max.
TY for video.
Thank you, this Rocks
One thing you should add to the Flying Sardine is Sleep. This combo is insanely useful in making sure you get consistent pulls. Cast Sleep on the Leech, Flying Sardine the Cilonid and watch them eat it. Repeat till 80. Slower, yes, but far more safe and consistent.
If you're feeling particularly bold, you _can_ let a Clionid eat three leeches in short order -- but you'd best be running away while it's nominating the third one, or it WILL one-shot you if you're in melee range at the end of its meal. However, it's not really necessary, as there are plenty of Clionid/Leech groups that one can just rotate amongst.
thx A LOT
Really nice strat. Maxed my BLU from scratch in one evening. Thanks a lot man!
glad to help
@TheNastyNamazu what if you don't have the pre-ordered earrings/Accessories?
@@ashutran06 it just makes it slightly faster. It's by no means required. That being said when the dawn trail preorder becomes available it'll likely give a new earring if you dont have the previous ones
Some advice who are trying this. I tried this once, it did not work for a bit. However, what was not mentioned in the video, you will need to actually deal damage to the Leeches, not simply grabbing aggro.
thank you! I started blu 3 days ago
Glad to help : )
Thanks lol.
Need to do this quickly before they patch it.
Great video man this was a lot of help. Quick question, does this leveling method work for other jobs as well?
Not really. The main reason this works for blue is because they get bonus for killing normal enemies. Also thanks.
Talk about timing 😊
"You have to complete the shadowbringers to use this method" Me who just began heavensward 😐👍 (closes the video)
Yeah, unfortunately the best methods(stormblood and/or shadowbringers)usually involve fighting the highest level enemies you can relative to blue's max level or need spells you get from future expansion.
Though if you were determined to try blue mage my older leveling video goes over how to level traditionally through arr and heavensward but be warned this will take significantly longer.
The life of a Blue Mage can be a hard journey with no guidance to where you can learn by watching and copying your enemies moves to copy their ability from your Blue Mage Book. Took me so long and finally copied some powerful abilities like the 1000 Needles, to Bad Breath from Marlboro. Finally reaching ten copies abilities I can purchase previous copied abilities from like White Wind for crowd healing.
If you are returning to BLU mage after completing all of the level 70 content and don't want to party find for the farm, you can fight these enemies solo with ram's voice, Eikonic spells, and strong single target combos like peripheral synthesis + mustard bomb
You don't need a party for either of the methods I showed they're both for leveling solo.
Aren't there enemies on the moon that do this too? That could be a similar method if they raise the level cap to 90.
"This method can be used as soon as you unlock class except you need to complete Shadowbringers."
I can already unlock class but I'm nowhere near Showbringers.
Will this work on the free trial? Just started blu on the free trial...
Unfortunately no as it does require you to do shadowbringers. That being said I do have an older blue mage solo guide on the channel that will work for free trial it just takes much longer.

I can't get this to work reliably. Sleep misses on the leeches like 90% of the time, you don't get XP if you just sardine the leech, you have to do damage. Even damage attacks miss the leech a lot of the time.
What? I went from 1 to 70 in a couple of days of casual grinding doing this. All I did was sardine the leech, and then sardine the other thing and try to make them run close to each other. My attacks missed almost 100% of the time and I still got experience.
@@Grayald Yeah I eventually figured it out.
Wish there was a fast alternative to this. This method is heavily farmed. Fighting for mobs with 3 other blue mages
You can always try traveling servers/datacenters.
For example, if you in NA, traveling to dynamis is a pretty good away to avoid crowds
Weird. I'm on Balmung and only ever saw one other person there, and they were killing those snail looking enemies nearby.
you said you can do it from lvl 1 but im lvl 23 and all my spells miss so i dont get exp >.
So all you have to do is tag the leech to mark it as tied to you. Sadly that does mean that mean your going to have to deal with misses; however, you can somewhat get around that by using things like sleep or addle.
@@TheNastyNamazu yeah i had to use addle but now i got to lvl 52 thank you :D
I have pulled dozens of leeches into dozens of clionids and not gotten a single exp. What am I missing?
You do have to actually attack the leeches for it to count as you aggroing them beyond that make sure your not in a party, and be careful your not accidentally pulling the leeches to far before being eaten otherwise they go deaggro and go invulnerable
Ah, OK. So before I get Flying Sardine, I would just carefully water cannon them or something and THEN lead them to the clionids, right?
@@FracturedOne yeah
@TheNastyNamazu Cool, got it working now. Thanks!
you should write lvl 70+
u just need sleep to make that method happen, sleep the leach and pull the other into it
has this been patched out? not giving me xp
I don't believe so. Are you making sure to actually hit the leeches before they are eaten?
Just did it today, also maybe quick way to level alts?
