The Red Mage (RED) class becomes available by gaining levels in the basic classes (Fighter, Defender, White Mage and Black Mage). You gain access to Red Mage by gaining 10 levels in any two basic jobs, OR 5 levels in any 3 basic jobs, OR 3 levels in all four basic jobs. Red Mages are skilled at doing a variety of things, blending weaponry and magic. As such, they can be very versatile..
