A quick BLU question
So I was wondering about something, I just recently burned my BLU from lvl 1-88. Is this going to make it super difficult to get BLU spells? I mean I only have Sandspin. Will it make it impossible for me to play? Or is BLU kinda like FFXI poke'mon gotta catch em all style with spells?
I have little idea what you mean specifically, but you can skill up your blue magic skill using Sandspin and progressively learn your spells as your skill gets higher.
Learn about 3-4 easy to spam spells (foot kick, sprout smack, power attack, head butt, etc). Cap sword skill. Then I fought buffalo in ulegard [a]. I used two regen atma (Vissitude, Mounted Champion, Stronghold) and minikin monstrosity, and spammed the same spells to skill it up. I /dnc to heal myself if regen wasn't enough. A good eva or pdt set will help too. Then it's just a matter of learning all the spells. Prioritize the spells in Prothescar's guide and abyssea/VW procs.
You cannot learn BLU spells until your Blue Magic skill is leveled within 29 skill points or less of that spells BLU Job Level including any +skill gear you are wearing.
Below level 50, that 29 skills is roughly 9 BLU job levels. Above 51 I think it drops to 5 job levels due to the skill per level increase on all magic/combat skills. i.e. Plasma Charge is a BLU75 spell. BLU's blue magic skill caps at 276 at Lvl 75 (I think...), so you need to be at least 276 -29 skill (247) to learn it regardless if you are a 75 BLU or a 99 BLU. I'd highly suggest you do your best to level your skill to 200+, learn a few spells, then hit up a Abyssea exp party and make your way to 99 while skilling up as much as possible along the way. BLU/RDM, build yourself like a tank and you can effectively solo just about any fodder mob in Abyssea from 85+. Don't forget your AF hands, otherwise there'll be hard times ahead
Thanks for all the answers! This was super healpful
If you have windower, and can afk skill up ~ find some secluded spot and spam pollen ~ Usually /sch sublimation will be enough to keep you fully stocked MP wise.
Personally, I enjoyed playing BLU the old way, soloing 1-75 learning your spells as you progressed, trying to chain EM-T monsters... I feel anyone who burns it, will miss a great experience and the knowledge of spell bonuses vs mobs etc ~ More to the point, I would just learn the spells you need to 88, try a few of the harder hitting ones and all your VW procs. There is no need to "catch them all" but isn't that half the fun?!? Now back to being sick.... Cerberus.Conagh said: » Now back to being drunk.... ![]() |
