Reaving Wind - The only spell I haven't attempted to learn yet so I guess it's bothersome for that reason...
Soloed, just straight tanking the ones in Xarc, fun fight :D

metallic body was a 2 days.
healing breeze took me 3 weeks of dia/diaga spaming on mule/friends.

everything else was first try and at most 10 tp moves/20 mobs~

took me 3 weeks~ to level job, skill blu magic and to farm all spells to 85. (cap at the time.)

There's two tricks to fighting them that makes it a LOT easier. First is fight them hard up against a wall or in a tunnel, that stops reaving wind from having the wind shield knock back thingy. Also fight them on their side, that makes bloody beak (very strong drain that either wipes or ignores shadows) miss you entirely. Aside from that, they attack kinda hard and fast, so it's just a matter of keeping buffs and debuffs on and using head butt to extend your shadow timer... I should probably mention that 90% of anything I've soloed on blu has been blu/nin.

Also, I've decided that next lot of spells that are released, I'm going to try and learn them all from NMs. If I can be bothered playing again that is <_<

Took me like 3 hours to learn Wild Carrot. About the same trying to learn Magic Fruit. went 1/1 on MOON CURE though.

Took me nearly 8 hours to Learn Self Destruct, I think i went 1/121 on it. Useless spell too, I was going for Completion factor though.

Firespit for my blumule was horrible, I used all 4 assault tags. I learned it when I was 5mins remaining to get booted, not even 15 hours later SE announces that they are dropping firespit from the proc list. fffuuu

Healing Breeze almost made me give up on blu back in the day. Got Lv15-18 on those damn dhalmels fighting DC-T with frequent rests... And this was before EP/DC got an xp boost.

Edited, meant 'before'

I don't think I partied on my blu at all until 20+ from soloing spells lol.

Memento Mori - uncooperative Corses ...

Im with James Blunt on this one, Mori was a bit of a pain at 75 and just took me a while to learn it from them. As for other spells mind blast is a pain not just the speed you may learn the spell but just in general flayers are a pain. Oh yeah I lvled blu shortly after ToAU release not alot of information was gathered at the time and I was trying to learn headbutt off mandies which dont work before realising its quadav only. Reaving wind is a bit of a pain, it seems when you dont want ufo agro you get it and wen you actually wanna find one you never can.

It was horrible -_- the funny part of the story is I eventually gave up and set off back to Bastok, killed Haty on the way to the Crag and got it...

I key whored myself to lvl 83 a couple of weeks ago. Now I'm having the worst time getting spells. I have most spells from 1-30. My Blue Magic Skills are around 120-130.
Did I mess things up?
What are the requirements to learn a spell?
Is it affected by Job Level? Blue Skill Level? Mob Level?
Would I need a Level Sync party?

You need a required blue magic skill to learn a spell. It's based on the level of the spell vs your blue magic skill. I believe it was 30 Blue magic skill within the level of the spell. So, for example, to learn Magnemite Cloud, a level 46 spell, and BLU caps blue magic at 141 skill, you'd need 111+ skill to learn it.

It's affected by your Blue Magic skill level, yes. To be able to learn a spell, your skill can be a maximum of 30 points below the cap for the level when you can use said spell.

Here's a website I found (and still find) very useful: http://173.192.108.24/~tforum/blu/BLUMain.html

You'll find a lot of information about all spells there, lowest level to learn them etc etc. Also, get your AF hands! Body might help aswell.

I keyed blu from 42 to 78 myself, but running around learning spells after that quickly got my skill capped. Start with some lower level spells, spam low damage spells on the mob and you will skill up while learning new spells. That's what I did anyway.

Not that hard to cap blue skill as opposed to automaton skill. Can easily set some refresh atmas and go chill outside the shinryu BC and spam ***. Or, get a abyssea party with said atmas and spam the ***out of spells.

Body helps in the sense you can learn them a few levels sooner, that's about it though.

I disagree - like I said in my previous post I keyed the job from 42 to 78 and capping blue magic skill after that was neither a problem nor did it take long at all. I'm still missing spells, none of the really good ones or proc spells, and tbh I find spellhunting a nice break from Abyssea.

I soo agree with this.
Skilling blue magic is rather quick, if you just learn a few dd spells to alternate between. Personally I pretty much capped blue magic while leveling from 75 to 90, just using frentic rip, bludgeon and head butt >_>

I just got reaving wind last night to complete my spell list :D I just insisted on coming blu to grellow amhuluk :x

Sound Blast was my spell. It took me like 6 hours to learn for some reason even with capped magic. It was easy to kill the birds but the spell just wouldnt learn T.T
