— In-game description

Flying Frenzy is an action unlocked at level 1. It is available for Blue Mage.

Flavor Text

Replicating this technique requires magically altering one's own state of mind to mimic that of a zu. The flying strike that results surpasses normal physical limitations, but requires dispensing with caution in favor of an all-consuming rage─the sensible mage will shield herself with aether first.

Acquisition

Open World

Duties

  • Zu from level 50 Dungeon Dungeon Pharos Sirius (recommended). Will only use when it has become sufficiently enraged from the eggs being killed (a message will say 'The Zu has murder in it's eyes), at which point it will use this ability.

Tips

Acquisition Tips

  • Zu will only use the ability when you break the eggs at the perimeter. Only 2 eggs need to be broken. To play it safe in level synced or synced solo Dungeon Pharos Sirius, you can cast Diamondback.png  Diamondback early to block Flying Frenzy. Diamondback's duration will continue around or until the end of the stun. If in a party, make sure to spread out since Flying Frenzy will Stun icon1.png stun anyone hit.
  • The spell has no cast bar, but is animated as a body slam against the top aggro'd player.
  • Once it uses this spell, you can use Level 5 Death.png  Level 5 Death to quickly kill Zu.
