Blue mage spells

That's my bad for wording it improperly. You do need to be in range it takes to normally receive EXP but not for experience points. The target also has to be capable of giving EXP at some point. There's a few exceptions like Campaign and Reives. Not sure what else fits in there.

there is also a rumor that if you get the mob low and he uses the spell if you kill it fast it has a better chance of giving you the spell but i do not know any thing about if this works or if it is even fact.

the only thing that matters on learing spells is your own Blu magic skill. If you dont match the Blue magic skill to learn the spell you CANT learn it.

My best advice for learning blue magic is to just keep playing blue mage as much as you can. Things get a lot easier once you have your AF1 because of the skill boost and increased chance to learn spells. There's of course a few "must have" spells. A few low-mp physical spells, bludgeon (spelling?) for feeding the mob tp, pollen or wild carrot will help a lot.

Even at level 99 I'm finding myself running around getting merits on blue because I know there's still a handful of spells I don't have (learned final sting last night in fact LOL). It can be frustrating at lower levels, but in my opinion it's the most fun mage job there is due to having to organically learn spells instead of buying them.
