Re: SPAZZ's BLUE MAGE GUIDE

Khidir, thank you very much. I have been testing this method myself but its been hard to confirm with other BLUs... Thanks. I will be making the alterations when I post my v2.0 guide on the 25th.

Re: SPAZZ's BLUE MAGE GUIDE

You need to have 1000 gil on your person... From what I noticed, you just need to have it and he doesn't actually take it from you though. When I did the quest, I only had a couple thousand on me and had the same amount when I was done the quest.

Re: SPAZZ's BLUE MAGE GUIDE

Well I planned it out that I wanted thf for dex/agil bonus, not to mention, gill finder, steal, evasion bonus, later comes sneak attack, flee, trick attack, treasure finder.... I am a Taru, which have nice dex/agil to begin with... on top of that, since not picking a caster sub job, I have nice mp to work with for being Taru. Blu/War is great for defense, berserk, voke, str and hp bonus. Whm, you can heal, and get a bit more mp, but blm would give more mp if that is what you are going for.

Anyway, I'm a Taru BLU/THF and I love it, and won't do anything else, no matter how many annoying tells I get saying, you should do this, you should to that, or my fave "My friend knows this guy who is a high lvl Blu and he says that <job> is better, so you should do that. He's high lvl, so he knows everything" ... garbage lol.

Ultimately it's a game, to be played for fun, do what you want, what you think is fun, not what others THINK you should. Enjoy!
PS - CA + SATA + [Physical Blue Magic] = ownage!

Just test them out and see what works the best for you but I rather warn you that if you decide to go the /whm way, you may end up doing the same thing that happens to rdm/whm but not at low lvl (probably when you be around 58+ because of magic fruit) becomes main healer of party.

I took BLU/WAR because I am an elvaan and simply decided to focus on my strengths and before someone ask yeah I took care of the dex problem (+13 dex at the moment and if I go max dex in some parties, +20 dex).

Re: SPAZZ's BLUE MAGE GUIDE

In terms of sub jobs... I urge everyone to just experiment. We are still finding new ways to use all the subjobs. If you do a /sea all BLU you will notice alot of BLUs go either /NIN or /THF. Now... does this mean you have to, hell no! Infact I encourage every BLU I meet to try and experiment to find what works best for you.

In terms of the sig, please let me send me a private message with all your info (race, face#, job lvls, server, etc. I will hook you up and make you a sig.

Re: SPAZZ's BLUE MAGE GUIDE

I just got BLU tonight (boy, was that quest easy thanks to your guide Spazz!) and I'm having a blast :D

Awilo is right, don't give up just cause you didn't learn the ability a couple times I gained Foot Kick and Wild Oats off the first Rarab/Mandy that I killed, but then I went from level 1 all the way through level 4 just killing bees trying to get pollen ... and that took about an hour lol. I'm currently working on Metallic Body, Cocoon and Feather Storm as I move along

Blu seems to be levelling a bit slower than my other jobs, but I'm having more fun since a good portion of it is selecting a specific mob type and concentrating on it (for the most part) trying to get a new spell :D

Anywho, back to having fun being a noob BLU :D

*Edit* Just one thing I have to add ... it IS supremely annoying to be turned away from a crab letting it hit you for 5 mins hoping it will use Metallic Body only to have it use Big Scissors >.< lol

Re: SPAZZ's BLUE MAGE GUIDE

It seems like it levels slow, because you aren't speedily trying to kill things - up until, say, 20, if you're actively trying to kill things, they fall over. Quickly.

They most certainly do! I decided to take a short break from letting crabs pinch my ankles and went to get some XP and up my Blue Magic skill a bit and all I can say is WOW!

Pull with Wild Oats, hit <insert DC mob here> once with sword, Foot Kick ... and dead mob :D
