Blue Mage: Best thread ever

[Russta]

Come on, no one has any input or any information at all about getting Spinal Cleave or Body Slam?

Spinal Cleave I can't really comment on as I'm not too familiar with Mummies and we haven't tried but Body Slam...

Excusing the three you won't earn EXP from (Carrion Dragon, Black Dragon and Enhanced Dragon), there are only two types of non-NM Dragons in the game. There is the one Shadow Dragon in Xarcabard that I'm sure you know about, four Dahak's in Halvung and six in Mount Zhayolm. That's it. All Dragons have a 30 minute repop and up to nine TP moves which just makes it even shittier to learn. You can learn it from one of the two NM's but Biast is, like, non-existent and Ash Dragon is a 21-24 hour pop (but will be killed almost instantly on any decent server).

You have two options really and that's to either stomach the 30 minute wait per attempt in Xarcabard while praying Biast doesn't pop and rape you or you can do what I have insisted my Blue Mage friend does and to wait until higher and get it from Dahak's. Unless someone posts here and says Body Slam does a bazillion points of damage, that's not going to change.

I found something interesting about self-destruct.


If you shout PRAISE BE TO ALLAH before you use it, you can unlock a secret new mode to it. Heres a screenshot.

What level are the Halvung/Mount Z. dragons? I understand the ones out in the mountain are VT? But are the ones inside Halvung a lower level?

With the 15% xp bonus, you trio chain5 them for 448. I guess you can do math from there.

Too bad the only fucking thing I was answering to was the level.

I'm 65 and I feel gimped leaving behind Body Slam, Spinal Cleave, and Memento Mori like I have. But so far, they're about as likely for me to get right now as Ridill or Kclub or whatever.

Zhayolm Dahak's are 82-83.

I went to help my friend learn Memento Mori last night. Totally forgot they do charm and destroyed him with my Joyeuse as BRD/PLD in full haste build.

Joyeuse on undead.

On a side note though, yeah Memento Mori is retarded. I can't believe I camped it for 7 hours (thanks 20:00-4:00 pop time) and it only lasts 30 seconds.

Level 75 Ninja with Rajas Ring and capped subtle blow merits against something you're relying on using TP.

My only question is, who was the tank? That's pretty impressive if you tanked those as BRD. ;o

I can solo DCs as BRD/WAR so they were nothing to me. Subbing Paladin just makes it easier since it was patched.

most importantly now...

are all physical blu spells considered blunt, or do some register as slashing/piercing ?? I

Bludgeon is MOST definately blunt, and Sickle Slash feels very piercing to me...but I could be wrong.

Correct. Bludgeon is the only blunt move I have at 70 I think.

[Dezzimal]

Screwdriver is piercing, headbutt is blunt.

Sickle Slash is piercing?

[NynJa]

Um...feel free to correct me if this is wrong:
Healing Breeze and Magic Fruit are said to be bolstered by having a SJ with healing skill, correct ??

What's to say Diamondhide wouldnt be bolstered by having a SJ that offers enhancing skill ?
