Blue Mage

Starter Quest

An Empty Vessel

Quest works as per retail; use the link on BG-Wiki to answer the questions properly. If you’re having difficulty acquiring the items for the quest, be sure to ask in Linkshell chat–someone may have a spare!

Tip

Keep in mind that Waoud will only tell you which item to bring him once, so keep track of it so you don’t have to get all three.

  • Sunsand, appears in Valkurm Dunes (H-9) during sandstorms (or the AH).
  • Dangruf Stone, appears in Dangruf Wadi near the border of (I-5) and (J-5) during sunny/clear weather.
  • Siren’s Tear, appears in North Gustaberg (several locations) and requires the quest The Siren’s Tear from Wahid in Bastok Mines to be active. Accept the the quest from Wahid, then speak to Otto, then to Carmelo to be able to pick up the Tear. Be sure to have your weapons unequipped when you attempt to pick it up.

Adjustments and Formula Customizations

  • With the addition of Damage Limit + and Physical Damage Limit +%, physical blue magic spells have been redesigned to benefit from these traits and modifiers.
  • The cRatio and wRatio of physical blue magic skills have been closer aligned to how weaponskills work (since, they were about 80% there anyway); this should make it easier to gear around accuracy, fSTR, the WSC attribute, and such when trying to maximize damage around physical blue magic.
  • Both physical and magical blue spells (and their status effects) are now enhanced by the additional level correction changes.
  • Both physical and magical blue magic spells now have their proper monster correlations for both damage and effects.
    • Correlation increases (or decreases) base damage by 25% based.
    • Correlation increases (or doesn’t affect) accuracy of inflicted status effects by +10 accuracy.
  • Magical blue magic spells now have a base damage scaling multiplier based on Chronicles and Heroics rank. This affects the D component of the magic calculation.
  • Both magical and physical blue magic types now pass through their proper target damage reduction checks.
