The Beast Within -- A Guide To Blue Mage

Claid should be very easy to get, shout groups for skirmish are generally sparks geared people anyways. Claid/Xiut is a completely acceptable weapon combo.

The reason I don't recommend Mimesis at all is that, at least on Sylph, the cost to actually build the weapon is around double the price of just paying for a Tojil run to get Buramenk'ah. Especially with the massive decrease in HP for Delve now, finding a group to run with or just a merc group is even easier. If you really can't find any on your server, then joining an Alluvion Skirmish run for Claid is a perfectly acceptable choice, as well.

Quartz Tathlum +1 has MND +4.

Yeah, get Homestead with your Eminent and spam WKR for other gear and its sword. Homestead makes WKR a lot of fun and super easy. After you've got that sword can slowly work on the bigger stuff. And can sell HP Bayld to supplement Tizona or other gear.

It is completely what I am using.

I know some people here are very anti-Xiut but I still think it is an amazing weapon and didn't stop using it until I got double Nibiru. Even since I got double Nibiru I've found times I wished I was using it.

even when I get an upgrade, I'm definitely not getting rid of it before I can try it out in fodder type low acc situations.

Soooo am I right in assuming the Telos Earring in the OP has not been found yet? Or drops off AV II: Meteor Boogaloo?

Cause im not finding information on it anywhere.

It still appears to be an unknown drop.

You've seen me use Xiut in plenty of things harder than that.

Did like 24 Sinister Reigns, 0 Vampirisms -_-

Took me over 200 to get 2 perfect ones. I'm still missing a perfect dampening Tam after 350+. Luckily it's fun content, because damn the system can be brutal.

Easily can be used on all of those except SR.

Just because something can be used doesn't mean it should be.

Obviously I meant it can be used well. Accuracy is a joke in anything pre-SR or T3 Escha, Attack is a joke in most of those events, the Damage on Xiut isn't that different from the damage on an Uson. It's quite a good sword for a starter Blu and should last a very long time.

You have some serious problems if you aren't overcapping acc in Delve 2 and older HLBs even with a 115 sword. You are either overestimating that content or overestimating the skill difference.

What's a good easily obtainable club with mab for subduction while waiting for a second vampirism?

Dual Gabo or Nibiru clubs :)

Depends on your definition of obtainable. Gaborexa or Bolungabunga from Delve if you have Plasm. Nehushuster from Alluvian Skirmish isn't tough. But if you need something right away, can go Tamaxchi from Yorcia WKR with M ACC +30 and MAB+10.

Note: items names definitely not spelled correctly.

Any easier to obtain cudgel? What's gabo? Seems like dual vampirism should be max mab and greater then dual nibiri cudgel.

Nvm mind my idiocy as I have those and will use those. Somehow I missed seeing them useable on blue. Thanks

Gabo is a Gabaxorea. Can get the drop in Delve or just toss 150,000 plasm for it.

You're forgetting you can augment nibiru weapons. A fully maxed Nibiru Cudgel will have better nuking stats than a optimal vamprism.

Dual Vampirism is missing the INT, some magic damage, and MATK/MACC nibiru cudgels have. Also, if you're not maxed out on cure potency, each cudgel has 10% on it.

Nibiru cudgel path B rank 15 has 21 INT, 11 MND (for cures and whatever nukes use MND like scouring spate), Magic ATK +31, Magic Acc +7, magic damage +124, magic acc skill +215, and 10% cure potency

vampirism: INT+10, Magic ATK +34, magic damage +108, fast cast +7%, STR+25 (Searing tempest and physical stuff maybe?), INT+10, occult accumen +10 (useless because it doesn't affect BLU spells).

Not saying vampirism is bad, but Nibiru Cudgel is better. As a tizona owner, I don't use a vampirism for melee offhand because I like nibiru blade for the DEX and ACC. For nuking I use two nibiru cudgels.

Yes I realized that earlier this morning after checking the stats of the cudgel. Thanks.

Also want to say playing blue Mage like a playing a whole new game. Wow never been more excited. Many thanks to writing the guide and people answering my questions.

Speedy and done in a flash?
