How much of a bonus to BLU skill acquisition would it take for you to attempt it

[Fawkes]

Unless you can learn when dead or BLU gets a raise spell, I wouldn't ever want to be in an all BLU EX trial learning party.

Increase skill potency by 200% and make learn rate a 100% then I give blu a chance. Blu is to weak how it is now. You can't even survive ARR ex primal attacks.

while i would love an increased chance to get the skills with it being sync'd would i rather spend 20 mins to clear sync'd for a one shot chance, or clear in 2 mins with level 80 friends for a slightly lower chance, its a bit of a no brainer.

They really do need to allow skills to be learned while dead in instances.

Losing out on a learn because someone in your party was slacking on healing or screwed up mechanics is really frustrating.

[Hierro]

How about they make it into a full job!?

i'm p-sure at this point theres no chance of that, so we might as well enjoy what we got.

If the highest rank spells come 5.1 are anything like the primal skills, you'd be better off clearing with all BLU parties than getting carried. Or you can just do it synced with whatever party composition, really. Near 100% synced while contributing versus low double digit percentage while being bored throughout? Easy pick. Plus, doing it synced gives you a chance to familiarize with doing things with all BLUs for the log. Probably some nice rewards attached to it.

Zero.

I got all the skills within the first 3 days.

[Bonbori]

For BLU-only, synced and without echo?

100% and not a nanofraction less than that.

At the very least, if it's not practically guaranteed, I'll probably stick to the unsynced farm PFs just like last time.

While I did enjoy doing all-BLU dungeons the last time BLU was alive for a week, and even on one occasion all of the Crystal Tower raids, none of those had EX mechanics. Pug groups have trouble doing HW Extremes even unsynced at 80, I don't have a lot of faith in it being a more time-efficient method for farming spells unless a coordinated static is doing it. An unsynced group can probably get like 20 clears in by the time an all-BLU party is done progging Sephirot so unless learning the spells synced is guaranteed or nearly so, I don't foresee it being viable for skill acquisition.

For fun tho? Absolutely! I love all-BLU parties. I'll definitely try it, I'm just not expecting to get any spells that way.

I think the biggest reason why BLU's lifespan is so short is the fact they insist on throwing it into party content and the party content gets rushed for the first week because nobody wants to be left out by the time the BLU hype dies off and parties become impossible to find... It should always have been a solo job with the option to do Squadrons, Palace of the Dead and use Duty Finder for low-level dungeons and trials. It wouldn't have made it a real job but would at least give BLUs some degree of long-term usability.

Look at the preliminary patch notes. They did a pretty good sized buff of all BLU skills.
