The Beast Within -- A Guide To Blue Mage

They wont do much for WS, but Hoxne brings those weapon options closer, because it makes tp gain the same for all of them. By all of them I mean Prime, Tizona, Maxentius and Naegling. Hoxne also significantly boosts avg damage of CDC and Fast Blade II, but not enough to make them competitive against other options, but enough to make them very usable if you need them for skillchain.

Problem with running Imperator numbers in Sim is I don't know fstp and wsc for this WS. The ones on Bgwiki are very wrong, based on some fast JP guy test, who have no idea how to do it.

From some damage test made by few people we know it's closer to prime katana WS stats, but I don't think anyone 100% confirmed exact values.

So I've looked quite a bit here on these forums and on the bg wiki and still cannot find even a mention of a TP set that is not Tizona AM3. What do people use with Naegling/Caliburnus/Non AM Tizona etc? Is it really gleti's pants with those UNM wristbands?

Also the blue mage guides and gear sets are quite lacking compared to other jobs. No mention of even a black halo WS set on the BG job guide.

TP set can atm be summed up with use malig outside of gleti's legs if you got the TA aug on it, though theres alterations you can make to fit in null cape/belt and such as you like such as alabaster earring. there's a solid set in the limbus gear but that's gonna take a while. Gazu's are there just to compensate no haste belt, and honestly only factor in the quickest path to WS according to sims.

BH set is going to basically be the SB WS set with possibly some accessory changes to MND but its pretty minor all around.

Off recent topic and random question:
Is there something weird with learning spells in Limbus?

I recently added BLU to one of my mules and was attempting to learn Thrashing Assault in Temenos but after 20+ kills, nothing. The mule already had Capped SKill plus an extra 46 skill from gear and Mastered but no dice. Eventually said screw it and went to Meebles and got it immediately.

So is learning in Limbus just not possible? Or is it something weird with their level adjustment system that might be blocking it?

Of course, I might be the only weirdo who even attempted to learn a spell in Limbus so there might not be any data on this at all haha.

Looks like someone added it to the wiki list, so I assume it must be learnable there. Either that or they are just trying to troll people.

I learned it there within 3 kills, definitely able to learn it within Limbus. I set my level to 119 within Limbus if that matters.

I see. I was on 130 but I didn't think it would have mattered. Oh well, if I try Limbus for a spell in the future, I'll drop it to 119 and see if that helps. Thanks for the information.

took my wife there to learn it as I was curious if you could it took quite awhile but we just set the mobs to 135 and kept killing til she learned it.
