So effectively what's happened is, they've added a few pieces of gear that a few jobs may get some use out of, introduced a fuckton of new bugs, and fixed no critical bugs. I shouldn't have expected more tbh

**Vriska** · 2012-12-12 19:38

So who else just spent fuckloads of time meticulously re-ordering their BLU spells?

Auto-sort worked fine for me.

Some people order it a certain way. The update undid it

This. Physicals > Earth > Water > Wind > Fire > Ice > Thunder > Dark > Light > Unbridled Spells, all sub-sorted by level learned.

Isn't that pretty close to the default auto-sort? Element order is such a bizarre thing to be OCD about @_@

**Jeryhn** · 2012-12-13 01:56

Default goes through the elemental cycle (Fire>Ice>Wind>Earth>Thunder>Water>Light>Dark).

Considering BLU spells don't really follow the damage pattern that BLM spells do, yeah its kinda weird to be OCD about it.

People do it for different reasons. Easier for them to pick them out for procs perhaps? Or easier depending on lvl sure there are other reasons

**Vriska** · 2012-12-13 07:44

I just like things the way I like them. I don't feel any particular need to change that. There's a lot of elemental orderings within the game. The BLM progression order, the elemental day order, or the effectiveness cycle order. The very first job I played at all was Black Mage, then when I picked up my SJ I took up Red Mage, and since then I kept my spells grouped by function, then element in the order I first learned the primary nuke spells, because that was what became familiar to me first. So Stone 1-3, then Water 1-3, Aero 1-3, etc etc. That order has since carried over to basically everything related to magic and spell lists, so whenever I need to thumb through menus for a particular spell, I know vageuly where in the master list it is, and if I'm looking for, say, the Ice flavour of that line, I know it'll always be the fifth one.

^This. It's nice having spells and JAs right where you want them.

posted in random question thread but this probably a better place to ask:

can you learn Tourbillion from Khimaira 13 (TAU Mission Shield of Diplomacy) fight? I've killed it quite a few times now with it using the ability. And nothing. I realize this is somewhat normal. It's just annoying to keep redoing the fight and i'm starting to question if i can even learn it at all from it.

**Ophannus** · 2012-12-23 14:45

As far as I know, with the exception of Besieged and I think Campaign, you can't learn BLU spells from mobs which normally don't give exp under any circumstances. This applies to Quest/Mission fights only I think.

**fantasticdan** · 2012-12-23 15:14

You can learn spells from plenty of things that don't grant exp besides besieged: quest nms, limbus, einherjar, salvage, BCNMs, FoV NMs. You were able to learn spells from campaign mobs (if you didn't have tags) at one point, but it was removed.

I have no idea for missions, I was at least 0/10 on learning it from khimaira 13 before having shantotto kill it before my friend was able to DC out.

**Nitrous24** · 2012-12-23 16:12

yea i don't think it's possible to learn it from the mission. I lost count how many times i did it last night. Killing it myself everytime after the first. Finally gave up trying late last night and just went and did FL assault. Ended up going 1/2 on it and that finished out my blu spell list.

**Draylo** · 2012-12-23 16:47

There is the new salvage that has a khimeria as a boss if you don't have assault access.

**Galiber** · 2013-01-11 19:56

So who here can't wait for one handed damage correction and that BLU/DRK with 15% JA Haste?

**Prothescar** · 2013-01-11 20:13

BLU/DRK isnt that exciting, 1h change is entirely dependent on how shit they make it

**Draylo** · 2013-01-11 23:02

What in the stars is that title/color lol

Learn Tourbillion from the ZNM. It's the easiest way, if not annoying for building the pop. That's how I got it.
