Deals earth damage to all nearby enemies with a potency of 220 for the first enemy, and 50% less for all remaining enemies.


— In-game description

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

Flavor Text

Just like that all-too-well-known fixture in the arsenals of many earthy soulkin, this technique creates a localized quake around the caster. According to legend, the earth itself will appear to shatter under a true master of the spell.

Tips

Acquisition Tips

  • All enemies tend to use this move semi-frequently. As long as you don't stand too close, you should be able to learn this easily. For simplicity, it is recommended to learn from low-level golem enemies such as the Clay Golems in North Shroud.
  • It is not recommended to attempt to learn it from the Rank S mark.
  • It is not recommended to learn this spell from the Megalith Marionette in Dungeon Amdapor Keep (unless obtaining   The Look from the final boss in the same dungeon in the same run). This is because the mob can only be killed by using skills that cause fixed damage (  Missile,   Tail Screw and   Dimensional Shift) or cause instant death (  Level 5 Death and   Doom); or, while unsynced with a level 100 player (which prevents the skill drop from being guaranteed).
