Make Blue Magic easier to learn?

[Deifact]

Hi everyone!

So I recently started a new character to get a feel for the new start of the game with RoE etc. And unlocked BLU yesterday.

It's great that levelling up is so fast and easy now but the problem I have is that while trying to learn a blue magic spell I level about 5 levels just trying to learn it.

Then I'm in a weird situation where I'm punching easy prey monsters while naked just to feed them TP because even in starter gear I'm so overleveled that they hit me for 0.

It's not a huge issue, I could go find higher level mobs, but I think it'd improve the flow of the class levelling experience if the blue magic learn rate was increased to match the new faster exp rate.

What do people think?

If you see a blue magic spell, you should always learn it. However, if they change this, spell scrolls for other jobs should increase too, seeing as the low chance of learning blue magic is probably to emulate the way spell scrolls aren't guaranteed drops for other mages, so that you have to "farm" to get both types of spells.

The problem with learning spells is not that its hard, the problem is that monsters usually have anywhere from 3-8 monster skills making your odds of seeing the spell very low.

Even when they do the move until one gets their AF hands and top getting the hey you just learned _____ can turn off many people. Heck even with those and capped or close to capped skills learning a spell when the mob has used the one you want can make you want to just quit at times. Then if you did go and burn your blue to 99 once you're in ToAU spells you start to get into well I need to ask for help in killing these due to the weapon lackage and other problems.

Yeah this is also really annoying! I never realised some monsters had so many TP moves until I levelled BLU! This can't really be helped though...

@OP: your Blue magic skill needs to be withing 10 lvls of the spells lvl. If your Blue magic skill is underlvld you wont learn a spell that is 10 lvls higher then your CURRENT blue magic skill.

example: lvl 99 BLU has the blue magic skill 30 (like a lvl 10 blu would have), he will never be able to learn lets say refueling (lvl 49 spell), because his blue magic skill is at 30 ( lvl 10 BLU) and not capped, even tough he is a lvl 99 BLU

Why are you telling us this? I don't think anyone was wondering...

Learning Blue Magic is a science, and it sucks. Even with the AF gloves, capped skill and skill gear there are several factors that contribute to if the spell is learned or not.
I would hope that SE increases the ability to learn the magic esp with the magic that requires unbridled learning.

What other factors are there?

Only factors are your skill vs. the level of the spell and if you are wearing your AF hands or not.
