Trying the right mobs?

Anyone that's learned blu spells before would probably call 8 tries before raging laughable.

Still one of the best things for new Blue mages. Heh and failing six times is a blessing, just wait.

Look up the spell and see what mobs you can learn it from.

And gee idk, caps lock while making a thread about a spell you can't learn in 6 mobs seems ragey to me, and obviously to a couple others.

Get used to it, it's just the way it is with learning blue spells. Some you might get 1st time, others may take awhile. Took me almost a week to learn thunderbolt, even went through the entire behemoth family in a day trying to get it.

Number 1 rule of blue-mage: Patience.

Pretty sure there are 2 firespit moves, one is physical and takes 4 shadows while the other ignores shadows but doesn't remove them. It's possible I'm wrong, but try WHM and BLM mamool.

This is kinda ironic for me since Self-Destruct will always stick out in my memory as the spell that gave me the most trouble. I literally had them use it 51 times before I finally learned it. >_>

There are no 'right' mobs. It can be learned from any Mamool Ja that gives you exp, at exactly the same (completely random) chance. But yeah, just bad luck. Sounds like you've had a lot of good luck so far, so this seems worse than it actually is. :P

Yes, try the WHM and BLM ones. I believe the others use it, but I never learned it from them. 1/72, and that was only counting how many times it was used. Just takes patience.

And drinking yourself to sleep.

Pretty sure only certain ones will allow you to learn it, not all of them.

You must venture into the deepest, darkest corner of Mamook and find the toughest looking Mamool around. Kill it under the light of a full moon on Firesday while facing northwest.

You will undoubtedly go 1/1.

The ToAU beastmen all have two variations, and each variation teaches only one of the two spells available from that mob family.

Only mage-type mamool will teach Firespit.

If you haven't learned these yet, just be aware:

Hysteric Barrage (LAMIA only)
Tail Slap (MERROW only)

Enervation (Light Armor Trolls only)
Diamondhide (Heavy Armor Trolls only)

I wonder if that's actually true. I know it's been on wiki forever, but if I remember, I was the one who originally posted it (I made a lot of the blue magic spell pages there). And when I posted that, it was from common opinion at the time (this being back when the job was brand new). It was never verified anywhere that I've seen. And if you look around, you can probably find plenty of stories about people who have learned them both from the same type, or Warm Up from mages and Firespit from melees.

If you aren't sure, you shouldn't be saying that it's able to be learned from any mamool. :\

I might not be a "fully experienced" blu but thats nothing, try days or weeks without learning, then its madding. Otherwise suck it up and know that being a Blue Mage means there's a lot of Patience needed.

And I swear its true that mobs A.I. changes when you try to learn spells from them >_> "Oh I See you need to learn that from me, well then I'll just spam every TP move but that one! hahahahaha!! *troll face*"

True enough, I'm not sure... but I'll admit that I'd be honestly surprised if it were true that you can't, considering all the things initially believed about learning blue magic that have been proven wrong over the years.

If you find me a credible report of someone learning firespit from a melee mamool, I'll transfer servers and give you all my gil.
