    i'm somewhat new to the job myself (sorta fell bass ackward into it when it turned out my NNI group met with moderate success. so what was i gonna do? never wear my new thaumas coat?) but i feel like i'm totally qualified to help you with learning spells at least, given that i ground out 50 levels of spells in a week.

    - Level of the mob does not matter. even if the spell is lvl 90-something, you can learn it from a lvl 0 mob if you have your blue magic skilled up high enough. (do that btw. skillup blue magic. super important.) so learning from low~ish level mobs can make things way easier.

    - I suggest subbing RDM to learn spells, as it lets you spam dia on mobs to feed them TP. (this way you don't accidentally kill it before it gets the chance to use the move you want) and it also gives you refresh/haste until you learn the blue magic versions to further facilitate spamming dia. if the mobs get a little to strong (you'll know this if dia starts landing for 0) you can switch to spamming stone1 to feed tp instead.

    - Most mobs use their TP more readily if they have less than 1/4th health left. so it's often best to smack them down to low hp, then start feeding them tp. otherwise they might wait until they reach 300%, or even longer.

    - Quest the af gloves ASAP. maybe it's just a placebo affect but it SEEMS to me that it's making a big difference, and you're gonna wanna do the blue mage af quest ANYWAY to get the body, so you might as well just make the hands while you're at it.


    finally; this has a lot of useful info. it's even got a helpful cheat sheet kinda thing for what spells make what job traits. (WAY better than having to search them up individually on wikipedia)
