Blue Mage: Best thread ever

[Prothescar]

BRD? I had some red buns and forgot to use them, so that's a large factor as to why it was low compared to yours.

[Atoreis]

there was bard but 2x march.

EDIT: so wait you had no food on and you whining WS is not so cool? Or am I misunderstood?

[Prothescar]

I dunno, it was a ghetto operation so I was completely unbuffed aside from Wail for haste and Magic Barrier so I didn't get eliminated by searing light in the event that he called Carb.

[Atoreis]

Ok but what you expected from a WS w/o buffs w/o natural high attack and so on? Ukko's furry with 500 attack, 11/3% DA/TA and wouldn't be that great either.

I did 2700 on JoF /RDM again with shield. 5700 inside abyssea again with shield. No other sword Ws is even close and you haven't expect it would be on par with Ukko's or Vsmite which are assigned to pure melee dd jobs not hybrid melee/mage, mage or tank.

[Kaslo]

@Kaslo It was to my understanding that Cuch is superior to light belt

I assumed it would be the equivalent of the tests that showed Gorgets were better than other Neck options for WSs.

[Prothescar]

Meh didn't and don't expect much out of it most of the time.

[Yugl]

I have yet to see a DEX+6 ATT+10 Torque for BLU using sword.

[Villian]

No one mentioned Nifty Mantle? I thought it was nifty with 5dex and 9 attack~

[Prothescar]

Not as nifty as Atheling with 20atk 3DA

[Desideratum]

Hey guys. I did a search in the thread, and I'm not getting a super clear answer, so I thought I'd ask directly.

What augments would be best for the Mirke body? All I have right now are Aurore and AF (working on upgrading AF3 and doing Dynamis and Limbus to acquire other body pieces or upgrades). I don't want to augment it with something that can easily be replaced by something else down the road, but I'd also like to make some use of it if I can. Suggestions?

[Ethican]

well, since the aurore body and mirke are so close to each other. I'd say make a vorpal blade body with like crit and atk. or you can make a fastcast body for utsusemi. also don't forget you can remake your body daily.

[Desideratum]

Oh! I didn't know I could remake it. Well, that opens up my options considerably. Thanks!

[Ethican]

yeah, honestly when you do abyssea enough, most of the options become outclassed. but in order to remake you just need to run up the tower again after tossing your body and I believe you can do that each day reset at jp midnight.

Run up the tower and kill the final ACP boss. Not terribly hard, granted, but more work than a fifteen minute run.

[Jeryhn]

Or buy the key items from the Goblin NPC nearish Shami in Port Jeuno, use Delkfutt Key to access the 9th floor of tower, be done in 15.

Any chance someone could share a blue magic skillup script? I've been using Spellcast for my macros, but have never really written regular windower scripts and would appreciate some help ^^; Really I only need something that can repeat pollen on myself for a few hours while I'm doing something else around the house, need to skillup before I can learn the rest of the spells I need ^^; Searches have given me enhancing and summoning skill scripts, but none for BLU ^^;

[Byrthnoth]

This should work:

alias third pollen;wait 5;pollen;wait 5;pollen;wait 5;pollen;wait 5;
alias om third;third;third;
alias ten om;om;om;om;om;om;om;om;om;om;
alias hr ten;ten;ten;ten;ten;ten;
alias fouhr hr;hr;hr;hr;

Do "//exec hr" for one hour or "//exec fouhr" for four hours.

I prefer to do my skilling up in Abyssea these days. Minikin is a life saver! If you felt like it, though, you could change the above script to cast Battery Charge every 5 minutes:

alias third pollen;wait 5;pollen;wait 5;pollen;wait 5;pollen;wait 5;
alias om third;third;third;
alias five om;om;om;om;om;batterycharge;wait 6;
alias ten five;five;
alias hr ten;ten;ten;ten;ten;ten;
alias fouhr hr;hr;hr;hr;

You'll need spellcast running when this script is running. I recommend turning on your tell ding and putting your volume up pretty high.

When you want to quit, do "//alias om ;" and "//alias five ;" if you're using the second script.

[nekura]

You could also use AutoExec to play a more audible noise when receiving a tell.

[Mercilessturtle]

And use autoexec to do the skilling up much simpler: autoexec register time_*.* pollen

[shukudai]

I've been trying to use the BLU XML set posted by Yugl a couple of pages back, as I recently returned, my only problem is that when I load BLU.XML, it instantly crashes me. Not sure what i'm doing wrong in this case. I load spellcast, autoexec, then exec blu.xml and insta crash.
