Learning Blue Magic

[Godofgods]

Who ever at SE came up with the ideas that lead to the job Blu should get a raise. Who ever cmae up with the teidous task of learning all the blue magic should be fired and burned at the stake, and aired for all to see. -_-

While i understand learning all the spells is part of what Blu is all about, this realy needs to change some how. Not learning an ability after its used is bad enough. But spending hours on mobs before even seeing the ability once is absolutly insain.

Their are countless spells that have taken hours, days, sometimes even weeks to learn! Just for a single spell. (even with capped blu mag skill and hands) Combine that with the fact that their are 135 spells (and more to come im sure) and the time involved is utterly insain and without redemption. Not to mention the aggravation such a complete waste of time can cause. Last time it gave me a headach so bad, that it lead to a week long migrain where i couldnt do most anything (game or RL)!!

Now im not saying it should be made super easy or anything, but something rly needs to be altered a bit.

That's part of the fun, feel free to find a job where you can "buy" your spells.

Ya if you are such a whimp about earning your right to play the job, go play BLM where you can buy the job rather then earn it, IMO. Because you're obviously in the wrong class if you are not ready to earn your title as a BLU.

Oh come on it is part of the fun in BLU not only that it is one of the few things that actually make you better at the job, assuming you're soloing a spell when it is a challenge.

Also Bludgeon and Dia spam make seeing a spell used pretty easy, the lack of learning it after seeing a few dozen times is a little frustrating though

If you wanna complain then complain about how you don't always get the message so if you aren't checking your spell list to be sure you could waste hours farming it when you already have it ~_~ that sucked the few times I did that LOL

im not complaining that you have to learn them, just the utterly rediculas time involved. When one starts having real life health problems form it, i think its a cause for concern

I'll take feeding a monster TP over having to get 6 of X race together in Sandy, or the 4 crazy quest lines required to get sleepga2, or all the quests for teleports, or spending up million ranges of gil to get a given scroll/roll.

As to the life health problems well that honestly sounds like self control issues. Its a game, enjoy it for what it is, if you can't then don't play it because it has lost its purpose.

I think anyone who need AM 1 and won't buy it will have a better arguement. check ffxiah.com and look for all the trigger spells and tell me which would be easier to get lol.

"Godofgods" complaining about learning blue spells, nothing personal man, but change your screen name, apparently that doesn't seem to be the right fit. here's the link the FFXIAH.com: http://www.ffxiah.com/ for current pricing, GL.

Honestly I've not had too many spells that take hours upon hours to learn. The only spell I've ever had a long time to try and learn was Regeneration... mainly my fault due to the forgetting of my hands =/.

The 'key' to learning Blue magic spells are 1: Magus Jubbah, 2: Mirage Keffiyeh, 3: Mavi Tayt +2(+1 is good too), 4: Mavi Scarf, 5: Mavi Tathlum, 6: CAPPED MAGIC, 7: Magus Bazubands and 8(Optional): Blue magic Merits

if it wasn't obvious the bolded part is most important etc.

The above gear with level 90 capped magic puts you at 422 magic skill.
Even if you dont have All of the gear above, you should still have your af body/hands...

Failed to Bold AF hands, which is the most important and should be number 1. What's been confirmed is magic skill determines minimum level of learning spells. You can say capping skill helps learning spells but from my experience it's just anecdotal evidence.
