Please make the -ite stones a 100% drop from avatar battles.

I like this idea because it gives incentive to fight the avatars again, something which is actually quite fun.

Why I dislike this idea is because it feels like the op is just trying to make an easy trial easier.

Yes, that was my original plan. I want easy trials. Haha, no. I want an outlet I can get to easily for a "Avarite" stone. I can farm in zones all day for geodes and what not. I have completed many trials, believe me, I don't mind the difficulty. Again, its just an outlet. I do enjoy all the counter-arguements.

i honestly havent seen the roaming avatars in scars zones on my server in along time. ifrit ramuh and leviathan. kinda curious why they are gone now

I say anything to help increase the supply and hopefully reduce the ridiculous price of some of them is a good idea. Some people are just flat out gouging the consumer on some of these rocks, both for the stones as well as products eventually crafted from them. On our server, when fire or light weather is in season, those lines stocks will increase dramatically--and yet the price often goes UP instead of down. It's bassackwards because people have it in their head that some elements are too tedious to farm. If you pay attention to the factors that influence the drops, it's not too bad...but some just don't want to arse with the system.

Having something where people KNOW they can get a drop once a day can have a dramatic impact on supply/demand, and eventually the prices of items on the AH. Lets face it, the extreme casual user is not as inclined to spend their couple of hours here and there just farming rocks--but if they know they can head out and do a quick fight each time they log on, they may be more inclined to farm at least some of them.

People may be going after the Caturae more often. I recall a while back people posting theories they were linked to the avatars somehow with their repop rates or something. Never had any trouble finding the cat's when we needed them...who knows. Stranger theories have taken hold and held for nearly a decade now.

I don't see how it's an incentive at all. It's easier to just get them the normal way.

It doesn't hurt anything either.

No, the incentive is to go, fight an avatar of your choice, and get the -ite stone associated with them. It would be a 100% drop or added to the list of rewards the NPC gives. Its very simple to see.

or we could farm other things, sell them, and buy them...sheesh.

pretty sure within the time it has taken to read this post, i could have gotten a geode or two...

No one seems to be posting a reason why they shouldn't add it, just that they don't like the idea.
