  • Hidden feature: BLU Job traits!

    That's right! Depending on what you equip, your BLU will learn different job traits, which you can easily check in your status screen!

    I'd like to make a post collecting a list of all these traits as we find them, so this is as good a thread as any.

    Update: Removed some rumourific information after extended testing. Japanese BBSes are full of rumour. Added level info.

    Killers:
    Beast Killer: Sprout smack(4) + Wild oats(4) or 1000 needles (62)
    Undead Killer: Smite of Rage(34) + Bludgeon(18)
    Lizard Killer: Claw cyclone(20) + Foot kick(1)
    Plantoid killer: Power Attack(4) + Mandible bite(44)

    Clear Mind

    Clear Mind:
    Here's how clear mind works - Equip as many of the following skills as you can:
    Poison Breath (22)

    Feather Tickle (64)
    Sandspray (66)
    Warm Up (68)
    Lowing (71)

    Strength of Clear mind depends on how many of those skills you have equipped.

    I believe most sigs are like the people they represent - useless, loud and obnoxious.

    Man, if it turns out that BLU can use certain abilities and depending how they function as subs I might be so tempted to try doing RNG/BLU

    Just got to learn more and see how MP does with it...

            This is great info, locus. Keep up the good work!

            I can see this info really expanding how blue mage is used, especially as a subjob.

                      Has anyone checked to see if you can have conflicting killer traits? I don't see why not, but I figure we should at least check it. . . And here's hoping BLU can eventually open up the Empty Killer ability.

                        You equip the spells and they give you the traits.

                        For example: Equipping Sprout Smack and Wild Oats will give you the Beast Killer trait.

                            For the most part it's pretty obvious. Mandies are plantoid, tigers are beasts, etc.

                            Arcana are weapons and anything mechanically animated like dolls.

                            There are some tricky ones. Bats count as birds because they fly, but flies count as vermin because they're insects. Pugils count as aquan, but sea monks are amorpha. Worms are also amorpha.

                            Check out the ffxiclopedia bestiary. They've got all the mob classes sorted out there.
