How do you do dungeons with blu mage?

[Jimmymagic]

I'm getting frustrated. I'm at level 25 and I can't do any dungeons at all. I know the job is limited but everyone else seems to be getting the dungeon spells. Needs some help Please.

You have to find other people who want to party with you manually. It's a ... questionable design choice.

You must learn "1000 needles" first because you will never do enough damage to enemies and boss with just the water skill.
And learn enough skills (10) to get White Wind from the NPC near Martyn. It will help you heal if needed.

And if you can, set up parties because the more, the funnier (and you have more chances to get the skill than alone)

Although the first part is accurate, more blu mages = more fun!

The second part isn't, the mobs have a set % chance to learn the spell, and the number of blue mages makes no difference.

I read everywhere that the % chance is for each blue mage in the team and not on the mob itself ? Is that wrong ?

afraid it's a flat % for the party whether your a party of 1 or 8 it's the same roll rng truly is a fickle thing

Yes but as long as one blue mage learns the spell everyone else will learn it.

That's why I don't understand what's the truth here. If there's such thing as "as long as one blue mage learns the spell everyone else will learn it" that means that each blue mage has the % chance to learn the skill. So it's not a % chance for the party.
Ah, my head... :'D

It's also heavily suggested to learn Acorn Bomb to sleep trash and pick them one by one.

Well, the first required dungeon is Tam Tara. You have to do that one before you can do your level 20 quest, so you should really start trying it as soon as it opens up at level 16. But you'll want to be in your mid 20's or so before you take on the cactuars that can teach 1000 needles. So in at least that particular dungeon, it's reasonable to not have 1000 needles yet (though if some people do, it's nice). For all the higher ones past Tam Tara, you're probably right that 1000 needles becomes de facto required (and that they all require having significantly more than your starting water skill, even that first one).
