Best way to unlock the new Blue Mage content in 6.45

While you should keep in mind that Blue Mage is very much casual content, the amount of Blue Mages will never be higher than when new content drops. We recommend jumping into Party Finder and looking for either established Blue Mage groups or finding your own. This is usually the best way to find new spells and level up your Blue Mage!
