🌿 1. White Mage Playstyle Overview
White Mage (WHM) is the quintessential JRPG healer—direct, potent, and reactive. It excels at burst healing with high potency spells and a simple resource system: Lilies and Blood Lily.
- Beginner-friendly, yet strong in endgame
- Focus on upfront healing, reaction-based gameplay
- Accessible core design makes it a great starting healer
- High-level WHMs can optimize Lilies and GCD economy for elite performance
🔋 WHM’s only real drawback? MP management. Smart cooldown usage and proper materia melding (ask us about Gearing services!) help mitigate this.
✅ 2. White Mage Strengths & Weaknesses
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|
| ✅ Simple and intuitive to learn | ❌ Low raid utility |
| ✅ High healing output with lilies | ❌ Heavy reliance on GCD for healing |
| ✅ Great entry-level and leveling job | ❌ MP issues if played inefficiently |
🔓 3. How to Unlock White Mage
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Starting Class | Conjurer (Old Gridania: X6.5, Y11.0) |
| Minimum Level | 30 (Conjurer) |
| Unlock NPC | E-Sumi-Yan (Conjurer’s Guild) |

🌸 4. The Healing Gauge (Lilies and Blood Lily)
| Lily Type | Generated Every | Used For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| White Lily | 20s in combat | Afflatus Solace / Rapture | Heals single target or AoE |
| Blood Lily | After 3 Lily uses | Afflatus Misery | High AoE damage (great for trash pulls or burst phases in raids) |
📌 Keep Lilies rolling to maximize uptime and minimize GCD healing loss. This also boosts your damage by unlocking Misery.
