- Blue Magic

Two new blue magic spells are scheduled to be added in the coming version update.

So speculation on what we are getting?!

I dont recognize the animations, maybe from the new mobs in the icelands?

[Torak]

one will definitely be from gargoyles.i just hope they dont bcome the epic fail that is asuran claws

[transmit]

Yeah i was thinking that myself. The one on the right looks like a physical spell, but Im unsure really, who knows.

[Torak]

i hope one of them turn out to be a physical paralyze spell.mindblast just doesnt cut it for me.

I looked through the abilities of monsters that BLU currently has no spells from and didn't see anything similar, so they're most likely from new families.

I don't think there are files for the Gargoyle's special ability animations yet, so it's possible one of the new spells is learned from them.

Hmm wasn't really expecting to get anything >_>;


Here's hoping that they are actually useful, and perhaps even create a new job trait.

Does that first image remind anyone of Promyvion? It's been a while since I fought the Empty, but it doesn't look like any of their moves, but the background sort of has a Promyvion feel. Of course, it could just be Xarcabard during an eclipse (like Dynamis).

I thought it was one of the BCNM zones of WoTG (I cant spell it so i wont try), the place you do Moblin Maze Mongers in?

Yeah the zone has a rocky texture, could be one of the WotG BC areas or one of the mining areas.

I think it's just Gustaberg at night.

EDIT: Although I don't recognize that building-kinda thing on the left.

[Aleera]

My hopes is either a new self buff like regain or something and a new slashing spell. The first spell could be a debuff, too, though.. what kind, I'm not sure. If I could have it my way, I'd love an Amnesia inflicting spell.. that won't suck. lol

[Kaslo]

Zone is Silvermines.

[Alkar]

The spell on the left apparently comes from Gargoyles (someone mentioned it being in the .dats since April), the other one has to be from a new family in the northlands. These better be useful... they sound like a pain to learn.

Edit: Here is the gargoyle spell. It's not a buff apparently.

[Corrderio]

I'm doubting they'll be all that useful.

BLU AoE Buff July 2009 Update?

[Triedge]

I am hoping that one if a Aoe Refresh spell thats better then RDMs refresh and one be a good dmg skill so bluemage will be more useful in endgame. i get sick of everyone says bluemages are useless in endgame just becuz SE gimped us they ether need to give us 2 really good spells or ungimp us so we can stop listening to ppl saying were useless in endgame becuz of the damn gimping! getting an Aoe Refresh or a normal refresh from mobs would be awsome if yu ask me the dmg spell needs to be a powerful atk skill also. to make up for the lame ass gimp we bluemages got.

[Prothescar]

The stigma of BLU sucking at EG, which I never see btw, comes from people not knowing how to play the job, not our lack of magic. We have some of the most powerful skills in the game, and we can make use of more of them at the same time than most jobs can boast. So stop your Q.Qing and learn to play Blue Mage, scab.

(report from my BG post, cuz I'm lazy.)

Think I found the second Blue Magic Spell:



The .dat is labeled "eve_spa", and it's located @ ROM6/0/107.

I know we will find out in a few hours, but cool non-the-less. Looks like a huge bubble with spirals around it, ending with those blue lines and breeze effect you see in that update picture. It could very well be Big Guard, or some other kind of defense buff.

(I could be totally wrong as well-- unless they relocate this dat to ROM main folder)

As for the other .dat people have mentioned, it's labeled "grg_bark", confirming it will be a Gargoyle Buff or w/e (more than likely an attack boost).

[Prothescar]

I'm really excited for these, mostly because the animations look so bad ass.

[Torak]

here are the 2 new mobs we get to farm.an anorexic demon and a lolrus *resists urge to make a comment about "mah bukkit"*
