Learning

[Mirage]

I have been playing blu for a little while now, to use it as a sub, and I think the chance of learning new spells is pretty... inconsistent to say the least.

Some spells i have learned in just a few attempts, but currently, I have been killing quadavs for close to 5 hours, and seen the Head Butt move used somewhere around 15 times, and i still haven't learned it.

Perhaps the chance of learning it should increase for each time you see it, making the chance close to 100% after seeing it 3-4 times? Cause this learning business so far hasn't been anything but frustrating.

....Welcome to BLU

Healing Breeze took me several hours, as did Bad Breath, at lower levels its seem more random vs high level where you BLU magic tends to be more near your cap and you have AF1 Magus Bazubands for enhance learning.

It's always happen =), i use 2 days for cocoon forget already that take how long til learn. but best way i can suggest is try keep your blue magic skill capped as fast as you can before go learn, it's will a bit help on that,

I was about 3 from capped blue magic, i think. I realize you get that AF gear that'll help you learn more easily, but I just wish it was more consistent. Just now I learned blood drain the first time i saw it, not even trying to learn it.

Im going on 15 hours of playing killing mobs for Bludgeon and seen it well over 100 times and havent learned it yet... Its getting fustrating to say the least.

I went from lvl 8 when I can learn it fighting these mobs till now and im lvl 16 going onto 17.

of course as soon as I bitch about it on here I get it. lol

Yeah that's what I'm talking about. I'm not saying every spell should be learnable instantly, but there should be some mechanisms in place to avoid ridiculous things like these. Increasing the chance of learning a spell for each time you see it could work.

It can get randomly crazy sometimes, and I mostly agree with your idea (though I'd say more like it'd be nearly 100% after say, seeing it about 10 times; 3-4 is a bit too fast). However, it sounds to me like that'd be hard to program into the game. :/

What you'll be experiencing as long as you play BLU is that mobs will often refuse to use the spell you want to learn, even if it's something you always saw them use often before. And then once you learn it, they'll start using it all the time again.

Ya honestly, I wouldn't want them to make the system easier then it is I enjoy that its random, it makes the reward all that much more beneficial. I own every Blue magic spell available to BLU and some I spent hours to days on, I think it builds character and devotion too the class, and this way not just any shmuck can pick up the job and run with it. It takes dedication and time, and strongly frowns upon Abyssea burning, because good luck trying to get spells with a low ass Blue Magic Skill. If you want spells with success

1. Get Blue Magic Skill Capped
2. Wear your AF Gloves (these should never ever ever leave your inventory!)
