==General Information==
[[Red Mage]] is a Ranged DPS [[Jobs|job]] that wields a [[Rapier]] and a [[Magicked Crystal Medium]] as its [[weapons]]. The job does not have a base [[class]] and starts at level 50. It is available as long as the player has purchased ''Final Fantasy XIV's'' second expansion, ''[[Stormblood]]'', but the job itself can be started whilst playing ARR and Heavensward storylines if the player has a character at level 50 or above.
 
==Play Style==
Red Mage's main [[stat]] is [[Intelligence]] and it will share gear with [[Black Mage]] and [[Summoner]].


Red Mage is able to perform melee attacks with the Rapier and ranged attacks with magic. Red Mage casts spells by attaching Magicked Crystal Medium to the hilt of the Rapier and uses the entire device like a staff. The magic used by Red Mage is [[Red Magic]], which is a combination of [[Black Magic]] and [[White Magic]]. Overall, Red Mage has a hybrid range and melee style achieved through rapid positioning. They are able to deal massive amount of damage by linking multiple spells with [[Dualcast]] and following them up with melee attacks.
[[Red Mage]]s were born out of a long conflict between the nations of Mhach and Amdapor. These fierce mages combine black and white magic to twist the battlefield, and strive where others otherwise would fail. Armed with rapiers and a magicked crystal medium, red mages are fit for quick combos of magic spells and steel-enfused blows.

==Stats/Attributes==
=== Equipment ===
The red mage is a disciple of war and wears [[cloth armor]]. They use [[rapier]]s as weapons. The following crafting [[class]]es can create items that are useful to the red mage:
* [[Blacksmith]] — [[Rapier]]s.
* [[Weaver]] — [[Cloth armor]].
* [[Goldsmith]] — [[Earring]]s, [[bracelet]]s, [[necklace]]s and [[ring]]s.


The primary [[attribute]] for Red Mages is [[Intelligence]]. As of 4.05, it is too early to be certain which secondary stat is best between [[Direct Hit Rate]], [[Critical Hit]] and [[Determination]], but most skilled Red Mages at high-end raid content are melding [[Direct Hit Rate]] first and foremost.

Red Mage concept art.png

Introduction

On the eastern edge of Abalathia's Spine lies the mountainous region of Gyr Abania.

It is in these elevated lands that people took shelter, when a burning star guided them away from the Sixth Umbral Calamity's treacherous floodwaters. The survivors gathered from near and far, and amongst them were refugees of the sorcerous cities of Mhach and Amdapor.

These sworn enemies buried their history for the sake of the future, and cast aside their vestments of black and white. Upon the remnants of their arts a new discipline was built, and the first red mages stepped forward with rapiers in hand to fight back against the rising tides of destruction.

FinalFantasyXIV.com Red Mage

Red Mages were born out of a long conflict between the nations of Mhach and Amdapor.

Job mechanics

Official Lodestone Job Guide (Always up-to-date)

Balance Gauge is Red Mage's Job Gauge.

Balance Gauge

Red Mages are unique in that they have a Balance Gauge that shows their accumulated White Mana and Black Mana.

You can obtain the two types of mana by using certain spells. Once enough of each has been acquired, Riposte.png  Riposte will become Enchanted Riposte.png  Enchanted Riposte, Zwerchhau.png  Zwerchhau will become Enchanted Zwerchhau.png  Enchanted Zwerchhau, and Redoublement.png  Redoublement will become Enchanted Redoublement.png  Enchanted Redoublement.

Certain actions and effects will also be strengthened.

If the gap between black and white mana accumulation grows too large, the crystal at the top of the gauge will change color, and it will become more difficult to accumulate the lesser of the two.

Balance gauge pve2.png

Upon learning the trait Mana Stack.png  Mana Stack, the Mana Stack Gauge will be displayed.

Maximum stacks of mana can be accumulated using Enchanted Riposte.png  Enchanted Riposte, Enchanted Zwerchhau.png  Enchanted Zwerchhau, Enchanted Redoublement.png  Enchanted Redoublement, and Enchanted Moulinet.png  Enchanted Moulinet, then used to execute certain actions such as Verflare.png  Verflare and Verholy.png  Verholy (acquired at level 70).

Mana stacks are consumed when any magic is used.
