The CONCEPT is incredibly stupid, but that is helpful information.

Realistic weather patterns in my Video games!? how dare they.
if you look the stuff up it can make the difference for some trails, Starting a water staff trial can be annoying, but if you do it in the Mire during the rainy season (winter) its cake. also heard people complain about Evasion Daggers. just go while its the windy season.
lets you plan ahead instead of having to deal with a some random feature in the game
Gameplay > Realism.
I always look stuff up. I just don't think the weather should vary so wildly that I can only do my trials on certain days of the real life month. I understand we'll always be limited in how often we can do certain things in an MMO, but this is too limiting especially for what are supposed to be not-so-special weapons.Quote:

thats why doing thing on the day counts too, it might take alittle longer but it can be done. hell I still see shouts every once in awhile for a team ups for some trial during certain days to speed up kills. also people in my LS would also do same weapons.
Honestly, literally the only thing they would need to do is make Fire weather appear a bit more frequently in Vollbow during the summer. Do that, and like 80% of the problems with the elemental trials are solved.
Awesome reponses and arguement; however, was asking for -ite's to be dropped from or be possible rewards from avatar fights. Still trying to figure out how geodes got in here.
I'd say include geodes to this proposal to drive down the costs. I highly doubt the Abyssea-era developers intended for these Magian trials to become yet another avenue for profiteers to squeeze other players for gil. The idiotic idea by the VW crew to jack up the quota for the level 95 weapons from 15 to 40 was the main reason for this happening in the first place.
Because for fire specifically, geodes are the problem, not avatarites that people get in Abyssea like crazy despite low drop rates.
I've done many different weapons and elements so far and each time i've collected and had enough geodes and ites to finish the weapon, so i still dont understand why day/weather isn't enough for yall. let me guess you dont save them, you keep selling/droping them until you need them, then you dont have enough. only thing that can explain why you never have enough
I'd like to see this. I think it'd add a fun reward for avatar killing.
One -tite for the time it takes you to get the quest, travel to the cloister and do the fight and go back to the quest NPC. My, that's so much more fun than doing it without the trivial addition!
Fun reward? really? This wouldn't add any fun to anything.
Being able to choose getting a few of these as the quest reward would make some sense, but then you might as well just remove the Gil option, because that's what the -tites will be to most of the people doing the fight.
Well, I just examined the prices on FFIXAH. I wasn't aware that so many avatarites had fallen in price. It appears only Garudites are expensive these days. Hmm...
I suppose I wouldn't mind seeing it be Geodes instead. The avatars aren't fun to get to/come back to the taru for a reward, but a geode would be worth it.
Agreed. If you don't have the teleport option to get you directly to the crystals, which not all avatars can be fought at (Fenrir, for example), you'll have to hike your way through some very large zones to get to them all. And if you don't have the outpost/logwatch/cruor warp to an area relatively close to them than it can take hours just to get to one. And that's after getting the forks, which face some of the same issues.
No. Balance be damned, if they seriously added this as an option it would need to be more than one Avatarite, or an Avatarite pouch.
