The Flame Geode Thread...... Again.

[Frankbrodie]

Or don't kill monsters high enough level to drop ites?

Is it level 75 mobs have to be to drop ites? Not 100% sure but it's something like that.
You get xp from mobs from 57 or above at 99 I believe?
So there's nearly 20 levels to be playing with to make only geodes drop and take the ites out of the question.

I'm only posting this in reply because over the last two days leeching an alt on a Cauldron page, I have had 8 Flame Geodes drop. Yes actually 8.
6 yesterday when it was July/August in game. And got a reasonable amount of fire weather.
And 2 more today when it's autumn/fall? time in game. One when I got literally 3 mins of fire weather. And one on fireday.

I farmed the vast majority of what I still needed for my 4 fire weapons in QSC after getting to these end stages (I got roughly a full stack doing the earlier trials) by following day/weather patterns and doing the spider/antican pages. It did take a few weeks, but wasn't much else going on in the shell as so many were taking a break and all. Think I may have bought around 20 or so here and there whan I was able to catch the undercutters that listed them for 10k or less for quick sell. Also went back there about a month or two back to farm about 18-20 more for an LS mate, who also still needed soils. Granted, it's not as easy as nabbing the Wind, Thunder, or Earth ones...but it is doable if you are able to catch the days and some in-season weather cycles.

If they would just tweak the freaking drop rates for them in general (like, remove the cool down timer), it could make farming more productive (both by day as well as with weather). That should have a substantial impact on the market's price gouging.
