I think you guys need to give the people without sea a fucking break. NIN was my first to 75, and you know what? It was hard. I got kicked out quite a few shells by saying "I like how it takes me one week to get one of you to help me with a coffer, but if it's so and so, they get help not for just that one AF coffer, but everything else in the same day, instantly." You forget that it's not that easy just to "shout in jeuno and make a static u lazy noob k lol" That takes a LONG time. Try to remember what it was like when you FIRST leveled a job.

That being said. As soon as I got a skyshell, we were hardcore about getting CoP done. Yes, you want CoP. No, you don't want to push it back to do later. But are you a lazy fucker if it's not done as soon as you hit 72? No. That's total bullshit.

Maybe you should read before you start hammering shit out on the keyboard.

dAvVvE said "get your PROMYVIONS done," not "finish CoP." Completing promyvions is null effort for a BLU, so if a BLU is even close to level 30 and hasn't done them yet, then it's a lazy BLU. Yes, promyvions and ENM 30s are that easy for a BLU: dual Centurion swords, Head Butt, and Bludgeon for the MFing win.

Sea, on the other hand, is hard, but any BLU who has any idea what rewards the spells alone hold up there, they'd make a concentrated effort to get there ASAP.

"no, stop being a lazy fucker and do CoP" -- dAvVve

1. lrn2read
2. Getting help for CoP is nowhere near as easy as you think.
3. I'm not trying to start a war here, but getting sea is not as easy as you guys think. I know from experience about lower level BLU's in my shell asking for help and taking it a -long time- for them to get anyone to join them in their pursuit. So it might not exactly be "hard" -- just takes a lot of effort.

Hello folks,

I have made some minor updates to Corossive Ooze and a major revamp to Asuran Claw to remove all non-Lobison camps.

Glad to see the site is still being useful to folks, and am always happy for the feedback. I make corrections as fast as I can smile.gif

Edit 8/19/08* For some reason I can't post in my thread again. But I wanted to say that a lot of updates have been made, WotG camps for Frenetic Rip, Body Slam and others added. Lots of small changes and additions.

Hope the guide continues to help

Your page was down the last time I checked it (awhile ago), but I'm so glad this is up! This has provided me with tons of information for the future!

Thanks a lot.

Hello Folks,

Good to hear that people continue to use the guide, and that many want to see it stickied.

I have done the usual pile of small updates. Some new camps for Frenetic Rip, and Spinal Cleave, some new camp suggestions for low level spells like MP Drainkiss that are just simpler to port to, and so forth.

As always I appreciate the feedback.

Yea, I was hunting workers for Magnetite Cloud for an hour and never saw it used. I looked up the camp on this guide, hopped over there, and first soldier-type I fought did and taught it. =D

It's proving handy knowing where my options really are for certain mob types too.

Very excellent guide. I am considering taking BLU to 75, originally started it as just a sub for RDM. Thanks so much, it is nice to have all this info in one place.

Hello BLU's

The Guide has been updated with the new spells, and has a lot of other small changes made since I last made a post here.

Hope all BLU's are having fun and learning spells.

I used the guide for the 2 new spells and had something to add.

Ruszors link. I was with a bst and another blu the other night @ the lake spot and the bst link 2 ruszors on pull.

Gargoyles also link btw and I used the method about fighting them in place without pulling them, it's true that they will stay in walking mode but they always ended up in flying mode after first TP move. What I meant is if you fight it in walking mode, it will change stance to flying mode during the fight (which results in no Triumph Roar) So I guess you can pick any Gargoyles (walking or flying around) to fight. They will switch mode during the battle anyway.

Another thing I noticed there is a move called Dark Mist in flying mode that does AOE Gravity and strips shadows.

Terror Eye can be easily avoid by looking away so if you are soloing, no need to worry about stunning the move.

Just throwing this out there.

If you've skipped out on a few spells(like me, lol gimp), some of the "hard" ones are very easily soloable at 75. For example, Jettatura, Radiant Breath, and Tail Slap.
The Grauberg Hippogryphs are pathetic. Extremely easy to solo. Their silence/paralyze TP move doesn't last long at all, and as long as you're keeping your HP up, you should never have any problems even if you're silenced or Terror'd.
Radiant Breath you can solo pretty easily from the Wyvern in LoO. Keep HP up for when it uses Radiant Breath, it still packs a wallop, and of course, keep Echos handy.
Tail Slap is the riskiest of the three, but definitely doable. I targeted the Kabukidancers and had a pretty easy time with it. Strongly recommend tacos and Cocoon for these though, they hit pretty hard, but nothing you shouldn't be able to handle.

Just giving my input, since the guide says these spells are either very risky or unable to solo. But again, this only really applies to lazy people like myself who go back for spells after 75.
