how far to level BLM subjob

[achornx]

i got to lev 18, did subjob quest now im starting to level BLM/WHM.. i want to know how far to level BLM before i switch back to WHM/BLM, should i go til i get warp, or go till escape? or level it up to 30, or some other number? thanx

That's all personal preference. There is no real "best path" for this. Though lvl 10 is a good place, since it gives the blm's Clear Mind trait.

"Till it is maxed out for whatever given level of whm you are currently at".

To you, this would mean at LEAST level 10. More unless you want to level it sporadically. I would recommend at least to 15-18, just so you don't have to level it for a while.

Level BLM to at least 17 (Warp) or 20 (MP Conserve) then go back to WHM full time again. :)
Why all the way to 20? Well then you can sell all the BLM gear (since you'll upgrade around there anyway), you have MP Conserve (aka you ain't that slacking if you don't level subjob at 42) and make room in MH for all that other stuff you'll get over time.

BLM's Clear Mind is 15, and WHM's get it at 20. Doesn't really matter much since you'll get it before your sub gets it.

Lvl whm to 18 then BLM to 37
and them back to whm and never have to look back at BLM again

right now I leveled my black to level 20 so I can have Conserve MP and went back to my white mage afterwards.
