When/How did you learn that spell?.....Follow

I thought BLU would be a fun change of pace...
3 1/2 hours, and 8 levels later I have yet to get my first BLU Spell >_>

Pollen 0/37
Wild Oats 0/9
Foot Kick 0/7
Cocoon 0/12

I started out much the same way the starter of this topic did.. and didn't really start hunting spells until reaching lv6 and NOT having any spells *sigh* Really disappointing not even getting one spell... W. Sartabaruta has failed me. ; ;
I'll be trying Gustaberg and Ronfare tomorrow with hopes of better luck. ~.~


I'm gonna hold you to that 99% Spell Acquisition Rate increase by posting!^^;;

I just hit 57 on BLU last night and have yet to learn Refueling an Frightful Roar *sigh*. I am planning on getting them and my lvl 58 spells before hitting 58 though but thought I might get some pointers for 2 spells I'm rather worried about soloing...

Frightful Roar-- I have Sacarium access now, but Taruses hit hard and have that nasty poison. Aside from lots of antidotes, any pointers?

Light of Penance-- Tonberries scare me. I've seen plenty of what they can do. I was able to solo a few in Yhoat without ever seeing Light once. *sigh*. I am thinking of going to Pso Xja and learning it from the cryoberries there as they don't give hate and I don't think they use Everyone's Grudge... throat stab still worries me ><;;;

I'm 0/5 on Magic Fruit. *sigh* and 0/15 on Refueling after 6 days now. 1/1 on Jettatura and 1/2 on Radiant Breath though.

Regarding Light of Penance, fight the tonberries unlocked. When you see "The Tonberrie so-and-so readies Throat Stab" just book backwards at top speed. The tonberry will go off, and it will always say you are out of range. No need to worry over it. Grudge can pop you from afar though. They are not huge fans of using Light of Penance, but they get around to it.

Radient Breath is my current annoyance. At 63 I still lack it, I've seen it in Rivine B a whopping 27 times. Ah well, perhaps next time!

Nicest, thanks for keeping the thread going. A wealth of info for BLU's here. Someday we need to create a set of posts that cover each spell where we can discuss the different locations and issues in getting them. For example for Stinking Gas, we could have a page with a map that shows where the aqueducts doomed lives, and info on what it takes to solo. We could also talk about what sort of party you'll need for a Garlange doomed and so on. Could be an interesting project, and of high value. Sort of like the BST 'Hunting Grounds' thread is to BST camps.

That's not a bad idea Myriads. I have actually thought about recapping all the locations I went to for all spells, and posting pinpoint locations of where I was when I hunted. I'll get around to doing that at some point, just not at the moment.

I'm just getting back to work after an extended vacation. I'm really busy at the moment. When things slow down though, that's something I've thought about doing for some time now. Sooner or later, you'll see the <pos> for each hunt by all the spells on the original page. This should help people even more. ^^

Thanks much for the replies. I have yet to get Frightful Roar or head back to Sacarium after failing to kill a Stego there the first time, but I headed to Yhoat and managed to get Light of Penance 1/1. (I guess it's making up for my luck on Refuelling T-T). I found some Tonberries that were rather easy to solo at lvl 55-57. Just before the area with the temple there are 2 Hexers and 2 Cutters who roam the area. All are EP to 57. I went /nin and I chopped them up pretty quickly often getting them to around 30% before they had TP to weapon skill. One used Throat Stab on me... but it missed ^^U I got Light of Penance first time it was used on my 8th Tonberry.

I got hit with Words of Bane a few times, but it always wore off when I killed the Tonberry and it didn't seem to affect me too badly.

After I finish my little break from BLU (I decided to get all spells up to 61 minus Refuelling and Frightful roar as my LS said they would help me with those this weekend so lvling BLM to 50 so I have some more options on getting through CoP missions so I can get to Sea.)

Now, can I find someone willing to be a pincushion for me so I can get 1000 needles, Body Slam and Memento Mori >.>

edit: before the temple, not the tunnel ><;

For those who use my thread, or recommend it to others, I've added the positions in which I camped at each area to the original post. It's not going to be 100% correct, as I went based off pure memory. For the most part though, it's close enough.

Good luck to the remaining up and coming Blus, ^^.

(I'll be adding the new spells, as I get to them. For now, still just havn't had the time).

P.S. Jwnl, if you don't mind, I'd like to add your posting to the original post for the time being, until I do it myself. It's the most descriptive one in this thread, and more than likely the one I'll be using for myself when I go to hunt them. So, just let me know, I'll change it once I do it myself.

Edited, Jan 30th 2007 7:41am by Nicest

Done, thanks. When I do it myself, I'll probably change it with my own experiences. Yours is very useful though, I just want to try to keep it relating to myself, as that's the only way I can 100% confirm things I've said in the original post. To find other's experiences, I'm hoping people read throughout the entire thread, to find that out. Just mine are found on the orginal. Many have posted their experiences throughout this thread on repeated occasions. Thanks again though. ^^

After many, many hours farming and random killing, my sea collection is complete!

97/100 now, lacking Body Slam, Exuviation and Mind Blast.

{Congratulations!}x2 Omni & Aries.

Wow, you really lucked out on that Frightful Roar. That was pretty easy wouldn't you say. :P

Omni, man, I know that was know small feat., so, {Congratulations!} again. Now, go out there and Disseverment everything in sight. ^^

Awesome story Jwnl (good read). I'm always glad to hear when some Blus have ventured into Sea for some good ol' fashion Blu spell hunting. I remember the feeling of knowing you were about to learn some of the most powerful spells ever. It was great!

I'm glad to have helped you out, and am thankful for you providing me with your detailed experience on the new spells helping my post out as well (I gave the credit to you).

Vertical won't be hard for you to get though. Those flowers weren't that bad. You've already learned the only one I had little difficulty getting (Reactor Cool). Those Zdei mobs can be a pain if you let them (I duoed them with a Thf friend of mine).

{Congratulations!}, now go show Vana'Diel what Disseverment is all about!

Blu Power!!!


Edited, Mar 16th 2007 10:30am by Nicest

Good stuff Zanfire. Cool to hear Blus go on massive learning streaks. ^^

In my OP, you'll see, I've had some of my own as well. I think, later on, SE just decides to reward us since most people have been to hell and back learning on some previous spells. They did it again later on as well, but, not nearly as much.

Either way, I'm grateful for it. {Congratulations!} Blu Power!!!

Oh wow, jeez, I'm so sorry about that, my fault, ><. By the way, glad you learned it though, ;;.

I feel really bad about having you go through all that. If you find anything else, let me know. Hopefully, I havn't caused you anymore down time other than that anywhere else. I'll try to be more accurate with in the future.

{Congratulations!} Jwnl, it's been long journey wouldn't you say? ^^

I'm still 94/100 (I havn't went after the new spells yet, because I'm still levling Mnk). I have friends willing to help me out though when the time comes, so, I'm not worried.

It was bittersweet for me as well when I first went 94/94, only because, I enjoyed going spell hunting. It was rather fun for me. Now, I'm just waiting around to do more hunts and such. Other than that, it's just fun to help up and coming Blus go learning as well. It's the only way to still enjoy some of that thrill. ^^

{Congratulations!} Again!

The Return to completeness (That's right....I'm back!)

Yep, as I said, I'm finally 100/100, complete, yet again. As you all know, for me, there's just no other way to be. Complete is just what I'm about. After the day before yesterday, I only needed two more spells. Low and behold, I get them completely unplanned for.

Sometimes, it just helps to be helpful. My friend Myriads (the only person I know that's soloed his whole Blu career.....lvl 1-71 thus far), needed help with some COP mission stuff. So, I pitched in to help out. Afterwards, we kinda spoke briefly on Blu spells and such, and I expressed the spells I was still missing. He made mention of possibly going hunting after the missions, but, we didn't speak too much on it. Well, what luck, he decided to go through with it.

Well, on this journey (speaking of mine inparticular), I must mention a very familiar name you guys must of heard me say a lot, because she's been in most of my hunts all the time. My friend Ulicia (AKA: Deathpain) comes to help out once again (Thank You).

Mind Blast - Well, we decided to use the new staging point (Nyzul Isle or something like that). This is my first time using the portal since I unlocked it, so, forgive me for not being able to speak on it well. I think it was the NE warp first, then, take the Blue warp on your left, afterwards. If that's wrong, forgive me. I just don't know it by heart at all. Where ever it is, the Soulflayers that you want to fight, are right near the zone as you exit. Also, you don't need to go through a NPC to go outside either. If you have to go through a NPC, then, you've gone the wrong way. I almost took that exit on mistake. If you do, you'll need to pay him one Imp. Silver Coin to get back in. Luckily, I avoided this situation.

Anyway, we had 9 people with us I think it was (Blu, Blu, Blu, Blu, Blu, Pld, Mnk, Thf, Whm). They weren't bad at all (probably due to the amount of people we had). It only took a few kills for everyone to learn (AF hands going to work today). I think, all in all, it was about 5 or 6 pulls. With that many Blu involved, I mean, how big of a threat could they really be? Head-butts being spammed like mad, and a whm to erase/~na all those crazy effects it gives everyone. Be forewarned though, on our very first pull, we were hit with something I'd never seen before.....INSTANT Sleepga. THAT was crazy. Luckily, either one person didn't get put to sleep, or, the person who was hit physically, was able to wake everyone else up. Other wise, that could've turned out terribly. Not many pulls later, all 5 Blus have learned, Congratulations!

Exuviation - Well, after our first session, some people had to go back to doing the things they were previously doing, and/or had scheduled. I really wanted to go after Exuviation though, because, it was the last spell I needed. Plus, I mean, how often can you gather a good strong team for hunting big/rare/hard spells? Since I had joined one already, I wanted to make the best use of it as I could. So, I get the rest of us to agree on going after that spell as well. Since we're having these crazy connection issues, our Pld ended up DCing upon zoning. Now, we're just Mnk, Thf, Blu, Blu, Blu, Whm. Hmmmm, oh well, INCOMING, lol! Everyone's more than confident that we can take'em. I on the other hand (who's only experience fighting these ended up in death and destruction for the whole xp party each time when someone aggroed one running to camp), wasn't quite as confident just yet.

These things are NOT that hard. Don't know what you've been told before, but, I'm telling you now. With a good group, these just are NOT that difficult. One thing that can make them difficult though, is if you try to fully enfeeble them. I'm guessing that's why my parties before were just destroyed. I wasn't aware, that these get a serious boost to Exuviation, when enfeebles are on them. So, just find someone who's capable of tanking these without it being fully enfeebled, or enfeebled at all. Remember though, try to give it at least one enfeeble, so that it has a reason to actually use Exuviation. Also, try to watch it closely as well. After some move it uses, it'll start attacking with the speed of Hundred Fists. If so, feel free to give it a Flash, and a few Head Butts if you can. That can get dangerous for anyone tanking. After 2 pulls, our Mnk had to leave, and a Pld replaced. Fights were still easily done. They did use this move, more than 2 or 3 times a fight, so, no worries in that department. It was about 1:30am when I learned, and became complete once again.

I'm still dog tired after last night, since, I had to get up for work in 4hrs. (I stayed another 30min to help Myriads a bit more). Blu spell hunting is fun in its own right. As much as I love being complete, I always miss the thrill of having to go out, and learn new spells from new monsters. That in itself is quite fun. GL to all who still need these (lol, I know I'm actually late, but, I'm sure there's more out there in need).

/kneel Ulicia, Myriads, Gates, Iha, Suji, Xahn, Kale...(Pld)

{Thank You}

Blu owns! :P

Edited, Mar 15th 2007 7:37am by Nicest

Thanks, and will do. I'm glad to please the readers of my post. ^^

Hmm, I thought that's where I went, but, you could be right. I was going based off memory, as I was already 75 when I went back and added in positions. Many people had asked me to do that, so, I gave it my best shot. I'll check on it again though, because I don't remember going to the right side, but, I definitely could be wrong.

Thanks for helping out, I'll look into it, and make the change if needed.

Good luck on your Blu journey, and hope I don't cause you anymore hang-ups.

0/107 on cocoon so far . . . 29 blue magic skill, getting me nowhere ><

*sneaks in* hi2uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Myself and a few friends of mine went to try getting this spell last night.



This location K-5 and K-6 is on the extreme north end of the zone from the staging point in the Mire. Its a one way set of ledges that start from a zone from the Reef.



This area doesnt have any of the Lamia's in it. You'll find here Trents, Imps and Rams that con VT to a player thats 75.

Its no problem. Get you the correct set of coordinates tonight. Scouting other spells in the area with a high level job.

I-6 and I-7 in Caedarva Mire for Hysteric Barrage. Theres 2 Lamia Fatedealers right near the entrance to Arrapago Reef. Cons Decent to a lvl 75.

No I tanked them on paladin while 2 friends of mine got the spell.

I forgot to post my update :O

Got 100/100 about a month ago. :D

I miss having spells to learn much the same way Nicest describes. I got to 100/100 a month back or so, just a day after I soloed my way to 75, completing my other BLU goal 1-75 solo ^^

Some spells were a royal pain to get (Body Slam, I'm looking at you) but it was so satisfying to get them.

Hopefully when more new ones are added We'll be able to go get them as a Team Nicest!

i need to ghet to know ya myrid :p if your a friend of nicest's then your cool in my book (ulicia)
