Blue Mage: Best thread ever

[Airshort7]

Looks slightly darker than echo to me. And if you have the genius idea to think people are making fake learn messages, then you're an idiot. When your BLU hits 75, please come back and tell me if edited it.

After helping a friend of mine with quite a few spells, I was dreading starting blu for myself, to be honest.

In a 3 hour session today I went:

Sheep Song 1/1
Sandspin 1/1
Healing Breeze 1/2
Bludgeon 1/1
Helldive 1/1
Feather storm 1/2
Sprout Smack 1/1
Battle Dance 1/1
Foot Kick 1/1
Head Butt 1/1



Unbelievable. Spent 4 hours getting bludgeon for my friend, I walk in, let an EP whack me and Im done first mob in. I was destined to be a blue! lol

I started off like that. My last few spells have been fantastic:

Geist Wall 1/10
Jettatura 1/16
Frightful Roar 1/20

I've gone 1/90+. It took me 3 or 4 trips to Arrapago Reef to get all my spells there with multi-hour sessions giving nothing, then BAM, 1st kill, 1st kill, 2nd kill sorta thing. I'm starting to believe moon phases or something.

Helped my friend get Plasma Charge, he went literally 1/100, then we go into palace and fight 1 flower, 1/1 on Vertical Cleave, he was 75 with 2 merits in blue magic too ffs too.

I was 1/1 on everything in sea but one skill was 1/2 and Plasma Charge which took maybe 20 or 30. Ram Charge was 1/1, but Cannonball took a while, probably 1/20.

I spent almost three long hours in Sacrarium to rub this shit in your face.

You think I need to be BLU75 to know what the fuck a "you learned xxx" message looks like ?? Take your ignorant 99 post bitch ass back to fucking KI where scum like you belongs.

THEY LOOK PRETTY FUCKING IDENTICAL WHEN YOU PUT THEM ONE NEXT TO THE OTHER.

God I love Nynja, I can't help but to laugh at almost every post he makes.

One is clearly darker.

its a compressed JPG...
the one that is "darker" is also on the darker portion of the background. This is called "compression".



However, lets ASSUME this is not due to JPG compression:

Looks slightly darker than echo to me.

The echo is darker than the actual message.

No, this is.

Had to.

This is the color of the middle column of pixels in the middle of FFXI's lower-case L. (From my OWN Screenshot of Frightful Roar, uncompressed.)

some people are hopeless

[Airshort7]

K you caught me, I made up all the spell messages, Im really lvl 75 with only power attack and pollen

[Airshort7]

Btw 101 posts now, are we friends yet?

[Oneshot]

Not sure if it's been posted yet or not, and I'm sorry if it has. A mob can use a spell with you not in the zone, you zone in before it dies, and still get the spell. May post the SS if I ever decide to get a Photobucket or something.

[quote=Xerlic][quote=Not Kuno][quote=Raineer][quote=Airshort7][quote=NynJa][quote="Not Kuno":f4df3]Is there any real trick to learning spells in besieged? I've had no luck at all the last few days. Do you just run around and dia all the mobs so you can learn or just stay with one and hope that way?[/quote]
I'd guess you need to be in range when it uses it, and presumably when it dies.[/quote]

I was all the way at Tzee whatever Yag God when the ninja in our group was at the 3 lever door. He ended up killing a yagudo and I got "You are too far away to earn experience" "Airshort learns Feather Storm"[/quote]
wow................

Thank you very very much for that story, I went through a lot of trouble to ALWAYS be in range (or take an action on the mob)[/quote]

But does that work in besieged? Do you have to be the last person to do an action on a mob to learn the stuff or can you just afk in the middle and learn everything?[/quote]
Why don't we just ask Moochi?

[url="http://files.upl.silentwhisper.net/upload7/img_0157.JPG"]http://files.upl.silentwhisper.net/upload7/img_0157.JPG[/url]

He's learned something in Beseiged. There's no XXXX defeats the Merrow whatever, so he must not have been near it when the Merrow died. There's also no "You are too far away to receive experience points.", but it also doesn't show up in Airshort's SS.

Did someone in his party kill the merrow or did he just learn it randomly fighting something else?[/quote:f4df3]

Can't tell you. Only thing I'm sure about is that I didn't touch that mob. Someone in my ally could have been fighting it.

Pretty sure "xxxx defeats the mob" can be filtered though.

And if someone think I'm making shit up that's their problem. Why would several people lie about it anyways? lol

[Kurp]

Coming from Moochi, it's definitely photoshopped. Don't trust him!

wow thats interesting. it implies that the memory of used spells able to be learnt is retained by the mob, not by the blu

Followup:
Had to zone an Antica that agg'ed. Friend that I was duoing with kept the Spider.

And yes, that was my fourth mob in a row where I learned on the first use of the spell.
