Blizzard III is an Elemental Black Magic spell from Final Fantasy XI. It is the third tier of the single target Blizzard spells.

Despite sharing the name in the English localization of Final Fantasy XIV, the abilities known as Blizzard III in the title are in fact the recurring Blizzaga spell in Japanese.

Obtained

The spell can be bought from vendors in Lower Jeuno and Aht Urhgan Whitegate for 39,368 gil, and it may also be found as loot on certain Black Mage-type Skeletons.

Use

Blizzard III is a tier 3 elemental spell that deals Ice-based elemental damage to a single target. Like other Blizzard spells, it is generally one of the harder-hitting and last-learned elements of any tier, superseded only by Thunder. It serves as a preferred method of inflicting ice damage to single targets during the level 60 - 80 leveling period for the pure casting jobs that have access to the spell.
