Learning

[Mirage]

AF gloves aren't available until another 25 levels. Also, time consumption doesn't equal difficulty, learning blue magic is just a different sort of grind, just much more randomized. Very randomized rewards are just annoying, I'd actually prefer it if it was a set amount of times you had to see a spell before you learned it (even if this number was higher than the average spell sightings before learning it). At least then I would know how long I would be sitting there, mindlessly doing the same actions over and over again.

For the record, I got Head Butt while autofollowing a high level friend of mine while I was doing grocery shopping.

But yes, even having the learning chance cap out at near 100% after 10 spell uses would have been fine with me. If you started at a 10% chance of learning and increased with about 8% for each kill up to a cap of ~95% after 10, you'd be likely to have learned it when you're up to 6-7 out of those 10. and extremely likely to have learned it after killing the 10th.

umm blue spells seems to be all about lucky but i couldnt help but think it might have some tim of math or something behind it. one day i will try to do a science test.

gaining Phys. spell
Test1 use one weapons =outcome?
Test2 use only phys.spell=outcome?
Test3 use only magic spells = outcome?
Test4 comination of all 3 = outcome?
will do the same with magic.

will also note the day,time,and moon phase
Might become to complex.

just try hard and never give up. You know you like that high when ur finally get that spell you have been trying for 3 long hours for

Honestly, your not going to see much in data. You would need 4-6 chars that all can play BLU and test this method, everyone's experience in gaining spells is varied. The way I take it all spells have a % chance of learning, some higher then others but that might be just a biased opinion. Yet it works like item drops, you either get it because your in the % tier, or you don't because your outside of it. Really its nothing to gripe about, god forbid you should have to work for what you use rather then flashing around a thick wallet or a heavy purse. IMO

Best way to do it is, go after the spells you need to EXP with. Everything else is either a waste of time. till you get high enough level go after e spell with capped bluemage. equip anthing that boosts CHR & Blue magic skill and equip AF2 hands. Also might help is equip CHR based spells to raise chance of learning the spell.

This seems kind of a cop out really, but I guess if this job is as good too you as /NIN is, then ya I would just get it over with and get your Cocoon and Wild Carrot. Really if your not into the job, you shouldn't even be doing it, only excuse I can see is maybe DRG/BLU but thats just me.
