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

[Neisan_Quetz]

Get on Thief, go to Abyssea on firesday, put on RR Omnipotent and GH atma and fight some easy mobs... it's really not _that_ hard to get geodes... of any kind.

When I kill on firesday I will kill about 50+ mobs in abyessa and average about 1 flame geode. Yet, I can farm during a 10 minute window of weather and walk out with 5 geodes in that 10 minutes. So for a weapon that is 55 hours of farming for the needed supply of flame geodes to finish a weapon. It isn't "hard" but it is not acceptable especially considering SE worships the God of Balance.

Clearly if he used better atma he could kill faster and get 1 more fire geode!

Clearly, some people just hate the idea that casuals play their game.

Do things wrong on your time, don't tell others how to do it wrong with you.

Howdy,

Sorry I would like to correct what was posted slightly (edited previous post, was my error!). It is not that case that light and dark weather are rarer than fire weather, but it is the case that they are rare weather occurrences as well, yet the prices for those respective geodes are not expensive like that of Flame Geodes.

The oppertunity for a drop (weather) isnt the issue. Its the fact the flame geodes are in demand about say... 100,000% more then light or dark. Thats the reason they are drastly increaed in price compared to the others.
Asking for higher drops, or more fire weather is nothing more then a way to combate that initial problem.

Thats actually true. I've did a CW burn in aby mis before for a full windsday. (While i wasn't their specifically for geodes, i did make note) The entire game day aga'in non stop, i only had one single geode drop.

Strange I've really never had an issue with finishing up Flame Geodes but then again I'm a very, very patient person. The price tho I admit is nuts on these thins.

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeealllllly. The people playing an hour a day expect to be able to go on and farm stuff in less than an hour on FFXI? I think you need to move on to another game or suck it up and farm gil. There is no reason this should be changed.

There's no reason fire weather shouldn't become more common when other weather types have zones that have frequent to near permanent weather.

No, they want zones that actually have fire weather longer than 1~2 minutes. This would HELP with Fire Geodes, Trials and the like. There is no negative to this.

make fire weather predominant in volcano zones (ifrit's, mt z, etc)

and/or

change the flame geode recipe.
