The quest

[Jokerboy1]

What do u guys think the quest will be like to unlock Blue mage?

[Anaki]

good question. my guess is something along the lines of that quest is bastok. where you getta get cursed by the agressors? so you must be hit by a certain monster ability while you have a certain key item??

[Coinspinner]

You'll have to stand in line at the door of that orc hut again.

[Eternalyx]

LOL That was a fun time. Some of my ls mates came out and we had a little party with apple juice and some orcs XD

[SpiderKing]

Get hit by something and live.

[LadyPeorth]

Kill this NM in this place to get this item so Joe Schmoe doesn't hafta get it.

It'll involve the new area, new monsters, and probably 10k gil

[Jokerboy1]

i think it will be something like... a NPC will tell u to go visit him at this one point/ area... and when u get there he will tell u to kill things.. (like the dark quest) and when ur done.. a cut secen will take place.. and a monster will get back up and hit u with this move and then the guy will be schocked ur still standing and tell u have potential to be a bluemage... or something.. an will tel u to go speak with a legendary bluemage... and when u find him he will tell u how to use ur new powers.. or something.. =)

I'm guessing that the expansion will be required to unlock it, as it's described as being Aht Uragan's unique thing when it comes to combat. The comments about managing to survive a certain ability being part of the path seems likely. -- Pteryx

that is a really good idea but minus the 100 kills >< problby you need to get hit by 10 different spells within a certain time period and live, then you get the job

Dance with monsters without missing an /emote :thumbsup:

that is a really good idea but minus the 100 kills >< problby you need to get hit by 10 different spells within a certain time period and live, then you get the job Maybe more like get hit by 10 special mob attacks...

Hmm... which scares me to think what kinda mob attack you gotta survive. I have a feeling a Paladin might be the best job to get it.

[Knight of Death]

Yea problby just sit there with 10 diff mobs and let them hit you xD

[tdh]

Odds are, you'll have to do more than just stand there. The attacks against you will most likely be TP abilities. So you'll actually have to tank it and do enough damage to build TP to learn the ability. But that sounds like a ton of work. I dunno if I'll unlock it right away, unless the quest is really sweet.

i think it would b like u have to kill like 3 nms but they have to use atleast 2 ws on u and live tho both of them

[Enialas]

there will be 2 level 60 nms that you must kill, funny considering you only have to be 30 to unlock it >.>


oh wait that was sam

you must get a key item after killing 3 level 55 nms at one time

oh wait that was nin

nah, what really must happen:

you must fight 10 level 70 nms at one time and some or many of them have SAM subjob (you're gonna get WSed to death). you must get hit or Observe 10 different Enemy skills no more than one per nm counts and you must kill them and they might drop an item, all rare ex. each one only drops 1 type of item but they don't always drop the item so if you don't get all 10 on the first run, you've gotta do it again. again you get this quest at 30+. only 5 skills out of 20 (2 per nm) are not Direct Damage so either you or a friend has to get hit and they must be in your foward arc to "observe"

after you turn in your 10 items (one at a time like subjob quest, rarest item first working backwards) and telling npc of the skill you "observed" from the nm of that item. you now unlock the BLU Advanced Job and he gives you a lvl 80 BLU rare/ex item that is very awesome that cannot be ever put in storage EDIT: NPC storage. but before you can go the NPC wipes your mind clear of those enemy skills you observed. They are raising the cap to 80 w/ the expansion.

NPC: hehe, have fun! ^_^

oh, and of course that will be the only time "observing" them will matter one bit since you can't ever learn their awesome skills. and you thought the line at Orc hut was bad

item 1: almost always drops, 99% since rare/ex you don't have to worry about passing if everyone's got one.
item 2: drops 50%
item 3: drops 33%
item 4: drops 25%
item 5: will only drop if there's a pld in pt/alliance & 20%
item 6: will not drop if there's a blm in pt/alliance & 20%
item 7: will not drop if there's a brd or rdm in pt/alliance & 20%
item 8: will only drop if there's a rdm or brd in pt/alliance & 20%
item 9: drops 5% if BLU in pt/alliance drops 10%
item 10: if no mage is in the pt/allince (whm/rdm/blm/blu/smn) including /subs drops 10% otherwise drops 1% pld/drk/brd/nin allowed for higher drop rate.

yes, you read right, it is impossible to get it all in 1 trip ; ;

these nms have no other drops, not even gil, nothing to steal.

oh one NM is a blm and he's considerably higher level than the others, casts Ultima, the Ultimate AoE spell, had a 30 sec cast time, and the nm has insane wind defense. Ultima has the AoE effect of the full BCNM area you zone to. If he casts it, hope beyond hope he's the last (or you killed him first) and you have a few whms w/ RR (or Reraise Scroll yourself). it does 9999 damage to all enemies within AoE, nonelemental, bypasses all defenses. shell, insane int, magic defense XXX, nothing helps. Since there's no hope to survive, you might as well kick back and enjoy the 45sec Cutscene this provides. yes this does count against your 30min timer.

by the time he starts casting it, you do have time to run to the zone, but like all other BCNMs, if you get hit while trying to exit, it'll say "Event Skipped" and you are SOL. This portion of the Quest can only be attempted once a VanaDiel month and not allow anyone who participated to enter within that timeframe (like Dynamis). If you exit the area, you forfit as well. If you believed anything from this post, just to let you know, it is a joke. I can only conjecture about it as much as you can. I was just posting something SE could do. Have a great day. Even though the quest is Difficult it gives bragging rights to every BLU like every SMN who is level 1 w/ Fenrir. But blu is such an awesome job that getting it at all costs and waiting in line for days (hey by the time you get back to the front of the line your time limit is passed). Anyways such a fun quest and awesome Cut Scene makes it worth it, even if you have to die to see THAT Cutscene, but if you're gonna die, that's the best way to go ^^

Good Luck getting Blue Mage! Bwahahahaha!!!

[JeanRC]

u have to get hit by something real powerful and die in 1 hit for 100 times XD
Which mean u die 100Times in 1hit lol oh and u have to use a LV75JOB to do it ;p

[Kittyneko]

Is this serious or are we supposed to just ask our 3 year old brother? : P

[JeanRC]

you just have to close your eye and do it

[Enialas]

the Blue Mage Quest:

Level Req: 30
Given By: Nodo Tiihco
North District of Auht Urgen near The "Prancing Pony" Tavern

Nodo: We have had strange tales of people being able to learn the abilities of animals and beastmen in the world. To see if this is true or not, you need to take this Orb and have it subjected enemy abilities. When it's capacity is full, you need to bring it back to me and using some Alchemical Formulae we can infuse it to you, awakening your body to a Realm never experienced by regular adventurers.
are you up to the Challenge?

Nodo hands you the Orb of Absorption. (Rare/Ex)

this quest is very simple, you only need to subject yourself to "Meteor" 100 times to fill the orb to max capacity, and upon that time it will glow a brilliant blue. (you must check your inventory to see if it's glowing, you will not get a message)

doing this only "awakens" your body to Blue Magic, you can't use the ability(s) you subjected yourself to. if you choose to take a different route, you get "points" depending on the level of the ability

Meteor = 100
Goblin Rush = 1 (earliest a Goblin will use Goblin Rush)
Goblin Bomb = 6 (earliest a Goblin will use Goblin Bomb)
etc.

You must be the target or at least hit with it, and not all Enemy skills work, if a Goblin does Gob Bomb but kills itself, even if you take damage, it doesn't count. This also goes along with Suicide, Explode and Final Sting.
