FFXIV Red Mage Guide: Level 50 – 90 in detail

by



In this video, I go through all of the weaponskills, spells and abilities the Red Mage learns from level 50 and onward to 90, starting with going over the significant changes to the level 50 state from Shadowbringers to Endwalker. Every action is described in how and when is a good way to use them, and at level 60, 70 and 80, mini-summaries are done to catch up on the most significant changes.
The rotation is explained taking into consideration both Single target, two targets and three or more targets.

In the general summary, we go over an opener and general rotation as well as some stat priorities.

If you find some things are going a bit fast or a bit slow, I invite you to speed up, or slow down or even pause the video for your convenience! I will admit there are some parts of the video that have relatively large blocks of text that not everyone will be able to read while also listening, before I move on to the next subject.

(If you are wondering where Verraise goes on the action bars, it is Shift + 8 🙂 )

If you have not yet seen my Red Mage primer, while it is from Shadowbringers, it is mostly up to date with how you are supposed to do the rotation:

  1. I have to say it's very funny to me that I only just picked up Red Mage (because I was finally able to upgrade my trial to the full version this week, yay!) and then you go ahead and premiere a Red Mage guide like this this weekend, a few days after I watched the level 50 primer.

    I know it's not a super relevant comment since it's written before the video is even premiered, but I gotta say, your videos are super helpful and I really appreciate them!

  4. Wow…I ain't shit then with this RDM lol
    I have alot to learn. I just got to lvl 66 and I run dungeons just to get a feel with my rotations. I found a good flow/rotation. If I don't play for 2days bro, I lose my muscle memory and this is using the ps4 controller 🎮 I actually put up a couple vids. I see alot vids but rarely using the controller. So I thought I'd drop 1 🙄

  6. I just started playing red mage and I've been looking for a class like this. I love how the rotation isn't as scripted as the other jobs, its more priority based. Reminds me of demonology warlock in wow.
