Heh the memories are flowing back to me.
First one was Pollen took 201 bees exactly I know this because of the tally I kept in slits on my wrists lol but yeah 201 bees.
Spinal cleave. Oh how I hate you. 9 hours just to break the first weapon. With an alliance of BLUs all sub thf SA sickle slashing the thing. And once it FINALLY broke. He immediately took out his 2nd weapon and a normal crit broke it lol
Eventually 2 days later I got it with 3 BLUs

Which are your "Ugh!!!" Spells?
Cerberus.Kvazz said: Valefor.Prothescar said: I'm kinda at a loss as to what kinds of situations cannonball would be superior to, say, Benthic Typhoon or Vanity Dive in. :o Cannonball is handy when pinning certain vnms >_> Like Lord Ruthven I've discovered that at level 90 you can solo every spell in the game, with the exceptions of Reaving Wind and Sub-Zero Smash. I had friends who said they would help me with my spells (this is after helping them with dozens of their spells before 80 came out) but apparently they bailed on me and I had to go solo them all. It sucks, but its doable.
You can solo Reaving Wind~
Self-Destruct. I swear I was in horototo or w/e it's called ruins for 3 days strait. And I didn't even want the spell, I just have this thing for completeness.. Stupid bombs!
Add occultation to the list. Seen it 2x in 90min of killing seethers.
On a side note anyone else notice its self buffs that tend to be ugh. Was thinking back on it coccoon metallic body diamondhide zephyr manthe refuling occultation all made me /rage.

Whats the deal with everyones grudge? :/ I've been killing these damn things for 2 hours and not a single one has used the ability D:
Edit: Finally. Just used. Technically 1/1... But only took 2 hours 10 minutes >_> Bismarck.Faelar said: I've discovered that at level 90 you can solo every spell in the game, with the exceptions of Reaving Wind and Sub-Zero Smash.

It sucks, but its doable. I agree reaving could be a pain to do solo, even though people are saying it is soloable. I could not solo body slam to save my life. I kept spamming dahaks and it was NOT pretty. 
Necro Bump Detected!
[80 days between previous and next post]Finally learned Healing Breeze. Going to go back and try to learn Pollen... I hate that spell..
took my 18 lvls to learn foot kick
21 levels (17 xp short of 22) and a couple years later, I have learned pollen.
[+]
Levelled BLU to 37 for DRG sub years ago, picked it back up couple of months ago to square all my subs to 50 for future (i hate odd numbers on subs!). biggest b*tch to learn was metallic body. Spent day after day splashing around in the river outside Windy! Heard capping blue magic helps.... it didn't. /sigh
My first spell I had the most trouble learning was Blastbomb. I remember that very clearly... Finally went back when I first dinged into AF gloves and got it then. And the last one was Asuran Claws. Couldn't learn that for the life of me when it first came out, but I finally got it last week on thursday...
As an added note, I'd LOVE if they added another piece of equipment that increased chance of learning blue magic. Plasma charge, 3 days of non stop fighting sharks. 90% of them used it too...
I don't know if the increased the chance to learn spells, but today has been an awesome day for me. I had 4 spells when I signed in this morning (first time since February). I have 13 now, and I've been dividing my attention between working and farming spells.

I have 13 now, and I've been dividing my attention between working and farming spells. The spell that gave me the most hell on learning as BLU was Frightful Roar. I spent a total of 2 months of at least going into Sacrarium once a day(if not more) to try and learn this spell. I wanted to give up so many times but I just hate not having all the spells I can learn for any job. Spinal Cleave was a *** to get people to help you learn it(No one liked Quturbs back then, they still don't). Back then there were no trials people did for you to team up or high level BLU's because BLU just came out, so you had to rely on other BLU's or friends lol
Valefor.Prothescar said: » Asuran Claws was one of the most let down-ridden spells that I ever remember us getting. A 6-hit spell sounded so good... then... /sigh Mine was Amplification. Other than that and the usual Ugh spells the game makes you experience when you first start the job (Cocoon, Metallic Body, Pollen, etc.) nothing's really given me much issue. Magic Fruit took forever. Thermal Pulse was annoying. But got them all eventually!
I went 1/1 or 1/2 on nearly every spell, the only ones I remember giving me significant issues were Mysterious Light and...oh, I spent 2h trying to aggro the Amphiptere in Xarc with 3characters in spots he always aggros...and one chasing...couldn't get him to aggro so I gave up with like 10 more spells to go
I think Body Slam has been my bane of all spells to learn. I have been trying off and on for years to get that spell. Even though i will never use it. its the simple fact that it has avoided me all these years that I must still attempt to get it -_- and one day, when the world is about to end, I will finally learn that damn thing LOL.
