Reaching level 83 Magic takes 2,673,114 XP in total; the Magic calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Magic guide has the Ironman training route. 7 recipes use Blue dragon leather, including Blue dragonhide body, Blue dragonhide boots and Blue dragonhide chaps. Blue dragon leather is available on free-to-play worlds too.
