Crossposted from the thread on the front page:

A buddy of mine just passed along this information to me about BLue Magic Spells....
-Mind Blast - Lv73 BLU - 82MP - 3sec cast - 30sec recast - Deals lightning damage. Add effect: Paralysis.
-Wild Carrot - Self/PT Member - Lv30 - 37MP - 2.5 sec cast - 6 sec recast - Cure
-Zepheyr Mantle - Lv65 BLU - SELF ONLY - 31MP - 7sec cast - 1min recast - Utsusemi
-Exuviation - Lv75 BLU - 40MP - SELF ONLY - 3sec cast - 1min recast - Restores HP and removes one detrimental effect- possible amnesia cure
-Blank Gaze - Enemy - Lv38 - 25MP - 3 sec cast - 10 sec recast - Dispel
-Magic Hammer - Lv74 BLU - 40MP - 4sec cast - 52sec recast - Steals an amount of enemy's MP equal to damage dealt. Ineffective vs Undead

Well let's see .. Mind Blast from soulflayers, Wild Carrot from CoP rabbits, Zephyr Mantle from puks, Exuviation from wamoura, and Magic Hammer from Poroggo. Opo-opo have the dispel Blank Gaze, but I wonder if there's some distiction between the opo that teach Magic Fruit and the ones that teach this spell.

Zephyr Mantle is a blink effect more like the spell Blink rather than Utusemi, right? As in it has a large number of shadows, but they don't have a 100% chance to take effect? With the cast/recast time set as they are that sounds like a pretty sweet solo tool but not overpowered.

Where is Soulflayer exactly ?

[Taskmage]

Re: Blue Mage Changes and Additions

I've seen them in Arrapago Reef. That's the only place I know of.

Re: Blue Mage Changes and Additions

From what I can tell Zephyr Mantle is like Utsusemi. The only thing that gets through is Sneak Attack until all the shadows are down. (Bastard's pop'd it RIGHT before I hit my Guillotine macro before, 1%TP return and 200dmg. I was not happy!)

Re: Blue Mage Changes and Additions

No, Zephyr Mantle IS NOT Utsusemi.

It's 4 shadows blink with 60-70% chance to absorb an attack. Utsusemi: Ichi or Ni will overwrite Zephyr Mantle the same way it does with any form of magical Blink.

Cast time 7 secs, so you really can't to use this while tanking.
MP Cost 31.

But it worths its 2 BLU point slots because you can get Conserve MP out of these 4 spells

Chaotic Eye (2) / Frost Breath (3) / Firespit (5) / Zephyr Mantle (2)

Sounds like a nice enough Spell to get. Getting Blank Gaze however is gonna bug me, Which Opo opo's do I need to fight to get it, since they use 2 Blu Magics.

My guess would be a non-CoP / CoP area thing like other spells. Coastal Opo-opos in Bibiki Bay Island are around the level BLU's can learn Blank Gaze so my money would be on them.

Re: Blue Mage Changes and Additions

normal opo-opo is fine.

Re: Blue Mage Changes and Additions

Hunted these spells last night in a JP alliance of Blue mages, got all the 70+ ones except excuviation, even though the damned things spammed it, Got Magic hammer on the last frog before I fell out at 7:30 AM.

Re: Blue Mage Changes and Additions

being only 54, I only have access to Wild Carrot and Blank Gaze right now, so I went and soloed them. It took about 3 rabbits to get Wild Carrot, which when I tested later with +7 MND (didn't think to wear my Light Staff, unfortunately) healed for like 160 HP. Not bad, I don't think.

It took 2 opo-opo to learn Blank Gaze. The first one didn't use it at all, then the second one used Magic Fruit, followed by Blank Gaze. I dunno if the order used has any bearing on which spell you learn, but it could be a deciding factor, if all opo-opo do in fact use both Blank Gaze and Magic Fruit.

Re: Blue Mage Changes and Additions

Which rabbits and opo-opo did you learn from?

[Kholdstare]

Re: Blue Mage Changes and Additions

Oh, I can't believe I forgot to mention it. D: I went to Bibiki Bay for the rabbits, then hopped the boat to Purgonorgo and killed the opo-opo there.

[eva00r]

Re: Blue Mage Changes and Additions

You can learn from rabbit in either bibiki bay or uleguerand range.
You can learn from opo in either purgonorgo isle or yhoator jungle.

Re: Blue Mage Changes and Additions

Is Blank Gaze a new addition to BLU Magic?

If so... that's quite interesting. That makes it possible to not have to invite a BRD or RDM to a group and simply use a COR + BLU in pt for refresh and dispel.

That's pretty interesting!
