Main Job: 95 Black Mage

Support Job: 47 Red Mage

Area and Coordinates: Abyssea - Misareaux (I-8), (G-7)

Party or Solo: Party, 3 Members

Monster Name: Shore Spider, Escape Murex

Steps:
1. Find a Shore Spider or an Escape Murex
2. Cast Blizzard V on the monster.
3. If monster isn't dead, cast Blizzaja to finish it off

Prior to the update these monsters always gave Azure light upon death caused by magic. However since the December Version Update they do not always give azure light upon death. Sometimes it takes 10 plus kills to get any light built off of them. I checked the Update Notes and I saw no mention of adjustment of light build up. As far as the light gain goes, there's no message at all and there's no increase in light total from using /heal. I've spoken to a few other people in game and they've confirmed what I'm experiencing.

The creatures will not give you lights if you one shot them. Are you sure you are not simply one shotting them now that you are so much stronger?

Nope, not one shooting them. Blizz 5 with minikin and beyond takes them to about 1-2% it's low enough that I can blizzard or drain kill and still nada on the lights. Haven't finished my magian trial staff so haven't been one shotting anything yet lol

Edit:
I just ran back out to coast, and got the same result using Blizz 4 then 5 to kill. Went and swapped atma to full mab (ultimate/beyond/baying) and started one hitting with Blizz 5. One in 4 of the spiders gave Azure doing this, and with the Blizz 4 to 5 it was 1 in 2. So maybe my chat log's bugging out on me. I'm not on black mage much anymore besides getting a Trigger spell. So maybe I am doing something wrong and the above poster's right. I'll run out there on blu tomorrow and see if I get the same result. If I'm not then I'm just a bad black mage and don't mind me lol.
