The Beast Within -- A Guide To Blue Mage

That's because unless you're using the new club, there is no boost (yet).

Delve sword has no effect on BLU spells. Only weapon in-game atm that does is the club from one of the new Naakuals. By how much I cant say due to no one attempting them yet.

other equipment will become compatible with new skill system later ( I'd assume next version Up but with SE who knows)

Oh god no why please SE stop doing this to me



wrong sword color no1curr

whatever bro that hat is beautiful

Blah and here i was hoping for the update on blue mage. I swear why did they even bother adding it in the notes.

It is an artifact of the update being split into two parts. They didn't have time to go back and retrofit Oatixur and friends to the new system:

Was sort of odd for them to add that in this update, little disappointing that no one will be able to get any actual use out of the Blu(specific) changes for now. Wouldn't mind having some reason to switch to the job again.

the hat is the only beautiful part of that ensemble! sword too I guess, but only the one.

Blah I say>.> It's a plot to get my 15 euros for this month too>.>

it's okay i found the new optimal tp set for everyone:

lol nice

There are far too many colors going on with that gear.

LOL, that made me laugh louder than it should have

not sure if adding to actual guide, but with the advent of monsters in these new zones actually resisting things like dream flower and yawn, I cobbled together a max magic accuracy set for blu.

ItemSet 307519


Don't really need all of it at once (most likely), so can change pieces around for fast cast, haste, conserve MP, whatever.

Was there a Sudden Lunge Ninjanerf (or official one I missed) or was crappy Aby NM bird Avalerion always immune to our stun and I somehow never noticed it?

Edit: Fixed terrible spelling of that NM's name.

They said they increased Magic Resistances on all mobs and players so maybe that's playing some part in it.

Edit: I suppose those JP BLUs aren't so silly with their Magic Acc swords now >.>;

Yeah, scratch that, I'm a moron, and despite loving Blu I never actually bring it to anything, so guess I just never noticed, tried two more crappy NMS in the area (Manohra and Asanbosam) and it was business as usual, sorry for posting here but I figured if anyone would know it would be Proth, and while I'm here, let me thank you for your epic, epic Blu guide.

Ah good to hear it was just the stupid Bird NM.

Ok now that the STR / DEX update has happened. Any new gear sets that hit the ~630 accuracy for Delve boss's? With how much DEX BLU's get on their gear should of been a massive boost.

There is also the newly released Cornflower Cape for an additional 4 Magic Accuracy :)

Anyone have an updated BLU tp set for the new SoA zones? I have been doing reives lately on blu with TP set that isn't too different from the one listed as "Delve TP" on the guide, and I am far from capped accuracy and many of my spells are failing. Using sushi, things get a little bit better, but I do believe that the set needs more accuracy for the new zones (especially the pink birds, they seem to be very evasive).

Accuracy upgrades you can make to the suggested set are Letalis, honed tathlum and if still not enough heartseeker/dudgeon earrings. That should be enough if your delve gear is upgraded.

And path A is still recommended on manibozho despite the higher level mobs ?

No other chance, path b has ranged stats.

Right... not sure why I thought there was a acc path.

ItemSet 307853
644 ACC
-27 Attack
-5% Dual Wield
+4% Double Attack
+23 DEX
+3% Crit rate



ItemSet 307857
647 ACC
+27 Attack
+5% Dual Wield
-4% Double Attack
-23 DEX
-3% Crit rate


Assumes a Hume with DEX merits for balance. Set B is very likely the winner between the two. Can add more accuracy if needed by switching in Dudgeon/Heartseeker earrings, Hurch'lan Sash, and having Halachuinic on DEX path. Also doesn't count DEX from spells or Accuracy Bonus being set. Adding set B to the guide until I bother with the math for it.

Oh hey, my Ziel charm might actually have a reason to be taken off my mule?

Can probably get away with Asperity on anything that isn't Muyingwa tbh

Ran some numbers, weaponskill damage shouldn't be a major issue. Monster stats reflect estimated values for Tojil.

Can switch between the two in different damage reduction/bonus phases to maximize output. Vorpal set could probably do with some swaps (feet, body).
