Has anyone successfully learned Cocoon

[Atma]

I have foot kick, pollen, metallic body and wild oats, yet I've killed 20 crawlers that used Cocoon and have had no luck, anyone gotten this so far?

Re: Has anyone successfully learned Cocoon

Cocoon is lv. 8 are you at lv. 8 yet and trying this? As I understand it you have to at least be at the level the spell is to learn it.

EDIT:

NM, just noticed you said you have metalic body... If that is lv. 8 coccoon is suppose to be that level too >.>

I actually got cocoon before anything else. (I was like level 2 at the time)

Yea, I heard you can obtain abilties at level lower than normal, but you can't equip them. It must be extremely rare. So far I've learned everything I can at level 11, except Cocoon and Wild Oats.

9 levels. Hit with and seen all but Foot Kick. Only know Sprout Smack and Sandspin.

Finally got it yesterday. It's rediculous.

+50% Defense
Slotting gives you +3 VIT
1 Blue Magic Point, 10MP cast, approximately 45s-1m duration (probably based on Blue Magic skill)

soloing 140xp goblins? Yes, Please.

Damn, +50% Defense... That would be a sickening amount of defense if a Heavy Gear set Job had that. I mean PLDs get like what 300-400 defense? stack that on for 450-600 defense

Damn wonder if BLU gets anything that's like a Berserk. >.>

Re: Has anyone successfully learned Cocoon

I have been having an absolutely horrid time trying to get Cocoon, its been well over 9 hours and I still havent learned it, I even gave Azure Lore a go after a crawler used it, then defeated it and got nothing ><

Edit: Right after making this post I got it XD

Re: Has anyone successfully learned Cocoon

and this is why it's going to be nerfed. I can't say it enough.

Or hopefully S-E buffs the other classes so every class has some use in a situation..

Nah, that would make too much sense.

Re: Has anyone successfully learned Cocoon

I think BLU's gonna get the Nerf Stick too. They can do very serious damage, and have quite an impressive MP Pool to draw from. Self Skillchain, and Self Magic Burst?

I like the damage, and I think once you have the spells, it's gotta be a fun job, but A rated Sword, good damage for decently low MP consumption is just a little over powering. PUP needs to get some Steroids, and BLU needs to be toned down a bit.

But back to the original post:

From what I'm told, 10~14 levels below a spell is the cut off. There's a Lv.40 BLU in my LS who has all the spells for his level to the best of my knowledge, and he seems to learn spells pretty easily. (However he is married to a Lv.75 PLD who helps him get all his spells. lol) My BLU's Lv.8 or 9 I think, and I can't learn Cocoon for the life of me either. Or Sprout Smack. I've spent like 3 hours Slow'd the entire time trying to learn it, and I can't. These are Vs. EP~EM Sprouts, and my Blue Magic skill is cap'd.

Maybe this is pay back for me learning Pollen on my 2nd fight as BLU, and for learning Head Butt when an Orc agro'd me and I learned it the 1st time. Another LS member is Lv.17 I believe, and he still can't learn Healing Breeze! Learning the spells for this job is so frustrating, at least for me and a couple of my LS members.

Oh god. If they nerf Cocoon then I won't be able to solo without the rediculously expensive gear. >.>;
But I'm a Support BLU because of myself having trouble making money, mainly.
(People make 12 mil a day whereas I only managed to make 10-50k/ day).

Re: Has anyone successfully learned Cocoon

I'm not seeing the point of nerfing Cocoon. It's good, so what? It's a very handy tool, and makes the job easier to solo with and makes it a viable sub in lots of cases, but it's not overpowered.
