— In-game description

1000 Needles is an action unlocked at level 1. It is available for Blue Mage.

Flavor Text

Highly famed─and feared─due to its frequent use by cactuars, 1000 Needles showers one's surroundings with a hail of slim projectiles. Despite their magical nature, the velocity at which the blue mage's pseudo-spines are propelled ensures that they are quite as painful as the real thing.

Sabotender Bailaor 25-27 Seedkin Cactuar Southern Thanalan (13.4,13.8)
Sabotender Desertor 38 Seedkin Cactuar Dungeon creature Cutter's Cry

Tips

Acquisition Tips

Sabotender Bailaors can be found just outside Little Ala Mhigo in Southern Thanalan and tend to use 1000 Needles very frequently.

  • Around the southwestern entrance to Little Ala Mhigo (x:16,y:15), you can find one that is close enough to the gates to pull up to the L35 Brass Blade at the entrance, who will help you beat them if you're struggling!

Other Tips

  • Best leveling spell for BLU early on. Not recommended past level 50 as most average spells will surpass 1000 Needles.
