Last updated on Jun 06, 2024 at 00:00by Pyre6 comments

White Mage is a healer job in Final Fantasy XIV that uses an array of healing spells to aid their allies in combat.They can be unlocked by obtaining your job stone as a Level 30 or higher Conjurer, after completing the requiredclass quests.

White Mage (WHM) is the bread and butter JRPG healer job. White Mage focuses on usingholy aetheric energy to mend wounds and smite foes while boasting very high up-frontpotency on both its main damage and main healing spells, in addition to generating a resource knownas "Lilies" to gain access to more powerful tools.

White Mage's playstyle revolves around reacting to damage and using as many toolsas possible to recover the party's health with up-front healing power. The job plays a bitslower-paced and is very comfortable at an entry-level, making it quite accessible to pickup and get going. The main core fundamentals of healer are very much attainable with theno-nonsense kit of White Mage, teaching players how to handle content as a healer role inFFXIV without having to worry too much about other kit gimmicks. However, at a high level,White Mage can still perform very well in the trained hands, utilizing lilies and rawstopping power to muscle through content effectively and efficiently.

It is also worth noting that compared to other healers, White Mage has the mostissues with maintaining its MP - a resource required to cast spells - above a levelthat lets it continually string casts together. Good White Mages will be able to makeuse of their kit properly, as well as gear themselves accordingly for content, to let thisconcern be as benign as possible.

White Mage is available to all players of the game no matter what expansionthey have purchased up to and how late in the game they have reached. The only prerequisite isthat the player character has unlocked Conjurer from Old Gridania (x6.5, y11.0), hasreached level 30 on it, and completed all the basic class quests up to level 30. Afterward,the player will automatically be able to speak to E-Sumi-Yan from the Conjurer's Guild to unlockWhite Mage and begin its job quests.

The Healing Gauge displays all currently acquired Lilies, used tocast Afflatus Solace and Afflatus Rapture, and the currentprogress towards growing the Blood Lily, used to cast Afflatus Misery.

Acquiring a Lily requires the player to be in combat. Every 20 seconds in combat, one Lilywill bloom on the Healing Gauge. We can see our progress towards acquiring a Lily with a blue linethat traces the white vine of the gauge, growing from the stem to the top.

After having acquired a Lily, the gauge will bloom one blue flower from the white vine, indicatingone usage of Afflatus Solace or Afflatus Rapture is ready.We can hold up to three of these Lilies at a time before the gauge stops progressing towards bloominga new Lily.

Every time a Lily is consumed to cast Afflatus Solace or Afflatus Rapture, the blood Lily will begin to be nourished and blossom. Thisis indicated near the bottom/stem of the gauge, as a red crystalline bud will begin to appear.

After three Lilies are consumed, the Blood Lily will fully flourish, indicating one castof Afflatus Misery is ready. This cast will consume the Blood Lily.

White magic, the arcane art of succor, was conceived eras past that the world might know comfort.Alas, man began perverting its powers for self-gain, and by his wickedness brought about the SixthUmbral catastrophe. Although the art subsequently became forbidden, it is now in the midst of arevival at the hands of the Padjal, chosen of the elementals.

Those who would walk the path of the white mage are healers without peer, possessed of thepower to deliver comrades from the direst of afflictions—even the icy grip of death itself.
