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

[Fupafighter]

Was that supposed to be a good number? I'm assuming you're talking about fire weather (because on fire day that'd be completely impossible; you're lucky to get 1-2). Giving aside the problem that it's practically impossible to count on there BEING fire weather, we're looking at you coincidentally seeing that fire weather is forecasted, you get to your farm spot ahead of time, start on time, the weather lasts all day.

After all that you manage to get 6 geodes. I'm highly skeptical that this would ever happen, but let's say you do. Alright; now try and go do this again some point in the near future (you won't). Why? Because this kind of chance is very rare. Also keep in mind you've gotten 6 out of 55 geodes; you've barely put a dent in it.

What's the point of getting 6 geodes? It's much simpler to farm the equivalent cost of them out of dyna or in cruor farming.


More on the positive side, I got up to the final flame geode trial, I've currently got 20/40 geodes, and 15/15 ifirites! Fire str h2h, here I come (in a day or two).

Go to say wajaom woodlands on fire day and just wreck easy prey. Can 1 shot them over and over on basically any of my jobs. Assuming you have some form of luck, 6 is reasonable.

You're not killing any of those those mobs in one swing. They have too much HP for that. Maybe you mean with a WS, but that's hardly the same thing as you describe. You gotta build TP somehow and you can't Meditate or Reverse Flourish that often. I would say you could one-shot them with a nuke, but you don't have the jobs for that. So no, you're not one-shotting these with any of your jobs.

Why do you get the say on what should only be bought and what should be farmed.

Why do you? I'm expressing an opinion on how I think things should work. What are you doing?

Yeah, you're not one shotting anything in Wajaom Woodlands, and as soon as wind weather pops (which is very frequent in that zone) you are now getting breeze geodes, congratulations.

[Teraniku]

Like I've said, the most I've seen drop on a day is 3 max for me.

[TMG]

I have yet to exceed 2 flame geodes in a single Firesday. PLEASE adjust the drop rate during the day if you can't make fire weather more common. Buying them wouldn't be a problem if there were actually enough of a supply, but you can't farm these reliably for money. You can make more than 80-150k doing just about anything else over the course of a game day. There's 17 up on the auction house on my server at the moment. It may take about a week to see enough of them posted up long enough for just ONE person to make a STR magian weapon. That's assuming this person doesn't spend all their time camping geodes on the auction house as soon as they're put up like crafters commonly do.

The thing is there is a supply constantly in, every freakin 7 hours daily lol. And I wanna meet the guy that can kill lesser colibris in 1 swing too. Holy balls are any of you proper DDs? Can clear a zone of 20 mobs before any of them repop... Same can be said about any zone with easy preys. Wajaom was an example. Guys have fun dreaming for the stupidest things while the rest of us dream for things that actually matter and are actually an issue.

Not if everyone just waits for them to pop on the AH so they can throw their gil at them. If no one farms, no one has them to sell, no one can buy them, supply is dead.

Cool for you, you know the problem? Nearly every zone will have weather, which instantly kills your chances at a Flame Geode dropping because guess what? It changed to Breeze, or Soil, or Aqua. If you do it in Abyssea, again, it can drop -ites instead, oh look, guess no Geodes for you again.

Same can be said about any zone with easy preys. Wajaom was an example.

Again, most areas have weather, so be it an example or not, its the case almost everywhere in the game!

Guys have fun dreaming for the stupidest things while the rest of us dream for things that actually matter and are actually an issue.

Sorry I didn't know only what you have problems with were an issue. This is one, Fire weather is a problem in itself and always has been. I remember having to camp areas for a few days back when I had to unlock SMN, why? Because weather was never around, Fire was a pain to get, before it was only for that, so it wasn't such a bit problem. Now the problem is worth mentioning because geodes are effected and create some of the most powerful easily accessible weapons in the game. They are not R/M/E, they are more for people with short amounts of time, no endgame or Emp LS, or players who need it for offhand. But by screwing this up because STR weapons are actually good, is also screwing every other trial that needs them, including Staffs, which are a popular thing for mages. Fire is the 3rd best in damage for nuking staves, yet it is 30 times more expensive, and 100 times harder to farm, than an Ice staff, or Thunder staff! Please go troll somewhere else it isn't needed here, you disagree only to argue with people or because you rather watch people you think are "noobs" or not putting work in, suffer.

Then your server is different than the others. Yours must need maintenance or something.

And I wanna meet the guy that can kill lesser colibris in 1 swing too.

You're the one who said you could one-shot them. What do you think that means?

Holy balls are any of you proper DDs? Can clear a zone of 20 mobs before any of them repop... Same can be said about any zone with easy preys. Wajaom was an example.

You're just digging that hole deeper and deeper. Do you even play FFXI? We're not talking about WoW you know. You seem to be confusing the two.

Guys have fun dreaming for the stupidest things while the rest of us dream for things that actually matter and are actually an issue.

We're not dreaming. We're posting about what we see as an issue. Why don't you go post about the things that are problems for you or is that not as much fun as trolling?

OMG you're so awesome!!!

Edit update:

On a more positive note, I finished my +str fire oxyranis (h2h) !!!! Only took like 280k stored cruor, and a dyna run, at least (I'd acquired like 15 geodes over the course of farming (I got lucky on some fire weather recently), and all the ifirites). That experience was worse than finishing old nyzul in today's anti-static climate (by that I mean how hard it is nowadays to get 6 people to be in a static with for old content).

Kinda feels like I finished a mini-relic -lol-

Congratulations on proving that it is easily doable. And for old content, you don't need 6 people. You just need 2-3 well geared players...
