Baetyl might win for Sanguine since it only has dINT, not an INT mod.

Hi all,

I've made a new BLU Spell master spreadsheet/checklist for learning BLU spells after being unsatisfied with any version I've found on the web. I'm going to link it here.

If this isn't the right place for it, feel free to move it. But since this is a comprehensive guide I feel like it might be helpful. Posted in a few places as not everyone uses the same forums.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VkH8xY6ydBoWCqCyMU4Jy8mtwxv5gZb8ypw2W4ZHreU/edit?usp=sharing

If you have some feedback or ways to make it a little more intuitive, please feel free to reach out to me directly. Also if someone wants to be an editor that is responsive/responsible/etc. Please let me know and I can add you. Also there's a second sheet that has everything as one master list so you can easily filter for something. There are some changes I have planned, but the initial version is ready.

-Added links to each BLU spell corresponding BG wiki page
-Added notes to physical damage types
-Added notes to requirements to learning spells (ie. breaking weapons etc)
-Added notes to state which mobs you can't learn things from
-Added mob family types/traits/point values/checkboxes

Quick glance, you have Tearing Gust listed as from family "Plovids" but its actually from "Macuils"

Assimilator's Shalwar +3 24%
Rawhide Gloves 15%
Emphatikos Rope 12%
staunch tathlum +1 11%
ambu cape 10% or
Fi Follet Cape +1 augmented 5%
Loricate Torque +1 augmented 5%

that's only 72%-77%, 87% with merits but couldn't find more doing a quick search thru unity, herculean augs, Odyssey armor, AF, Relic and empy gear so i assume the rest has to come from dark matter augments or weird weapons or crafted equipment from AH.

Taeon pieces can also be augmented with 1-10% SIRD thru leafdim stones.

Cacharian verve isn't perfect but i think it blocks more interrupts than regular aquaveil and some form of aquaveil is hard to pass for cleaving cause you sacrifice quite a lot of FC, MACC and MAB for SIRD.

good find, that would bring you to 103% with merits. 102% is cap according to wiki.

on a side note, damn is the wiki slow today.

Probably Zantetsuken. Been a really long time since I've looked at other offhands. Sequence wouldn't be very good

That's going to depend on a lot of things, so it's hard to say. The attack bonus that you get from Naegling vs the TP bonus on Sequence could be a tossup. Typically if the thing you're fighting is strong enough to disqualify Thibron, you probably aren't going to be attack capped without a shitload of support.

If you have an accuracy problem tho you're most likely not stacked up on buffs and the attack difference would have to be quite extreme to outdo tp bonus.

I have been looking for an up to date black halo WS set for BLU but I cannot find one. It would be close to savage blade set, but slightly different because the mod is 70% MND, 30% STR, so I would assume that MND should be prioritized over STR.

This is my attempt.
ItemSet 384544
Cape - MND+30, ACC/ATK+20, WSD+10%
Metamorph Ring+1 augmented with MND+10
Nyame - WSD Path

Is this correct?

To an extent but black halo with maxentius also needs multi-attack. sailfi belt +1 is easily the best waist option for halo. Probably Coiste Bodhar too.

This is silly request considering we are talking about game that core gameplay is build around changing gear :)

That being said Nyame path B rank 25 5/5 can be both melee and magic set all in one. Your TP gain will be mediocre tho and your nukes wont be as good as in high damage nuke set. If you want separate set for nukes then I would say Amalric+1 5/5.

I have no idea how you plan to get Nyame rank 25 by playing this game without changing sets, unless you will pay someone for it I guess.

Don't need windower to change gear...

I am also not even sure what you are asking for.

Wants 1 specific set for melee/ws and 1 specific set for all magic. Which is something i don't think any job can get away with really if you plan to be effective.

In ffxiv you only need one set per job !

In ffxi you need multiples, and doing equiset then macros is quicker than doing a min/max gearswap sets, toogles and functions.

Updated sets are on the front page, but there's multiple of them.

Its a decent guide. But I think it falls short when it gets to gear sets. It lists up to only entry level and ambuscade only, then lists AF/Relic/Emp gear to get, then straight to Omen sets. It misses a lot of potential sets and gear options in between.

The first page of this forum has a good set of gear sets lists.

tbf my WS sets need some work since I don't have any intermediary sets at all for those, something I've been meaning to get around to along with maybe a basic stat priority reference for them

I fall short with no REMA weapons for BLU (other than Sequence, which I think most don't use anymore). However, I think I make up with most of the rest of the gear. With Gearswap, I don't see much need for FC traits. One can easily hit 80 FC cap with gear. About to focus this Omen campaign on getting all the BLU cards I can so I can catch up on +2 and +3 gear.
