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

[Nawesemo]

Wait, wait, wait..... Were complaining, but your complaining about our complaining, because our complaining is taking away from our empy farming, and that has..... Something (I'll admit I may be missing a key point) to do with flame geodes? And that irritated you enough to point out the obvious pink elephant that people can't farm 24/7 the things they like and are just lazy because of it? Do I got that right, awesome take this cookie, go sit in the corner like a good kid, ..... Geodes suck, flame especially.

[RAIST]

for those actually trying to farm them in weather.... It's window for increasing frequency just opened up. It will gradually increase frequency over the next couple days, then slowly slope off as the weekend ends and will once again be in the off-season cycles late Monday/early Tuesday.

3 sessions as expected today.... Earthday, and Watersday (current one), and it's in forecast again for Iceday. That's 3 forecasts in roughly a 4 hour window (5/2, 5/3, 5/5 in-game dates for this year's pattern).

In other words....these next 6 days are more or less the best time frame to be checking for fire weather if you haven't been tracking the specific dates it has been known to pop on and are just checking for it randomly when you log in the game.

Hundreds of flame geodes go out daily. How in anyway is that unbalanced. Farming them solo is a hassle yes, but there are other options to get them.

[Komori]

Because in relation, thousands of every other geodes go out daily.

How in anyway is that unbalanced.

1.Fire-No Where
2.Earth-Mount Zhayolm/Altepa/Batallia
3.Water-Pashhow(Near Constant)/La Theine
4.Wind-Buburimu/Grauberg(Near Constant)
5.Ice-Beaucedine(Near Constant)/Xarcabard(Near Constant)/Uleguerand(Near Constant)
6.Thunder-Qufim(Near Constant)/Vunkerl
7.Light-Nyzul Isle(100%)
8.Darkness-Beaucedine/Xarcabard

That is how!

Fupa,

stop being lazy and go farm some flame geodes for these people instead of complaining about how you hate complaining. That way they can stop complaining and you can stop complaining about complaining. Everybody wins.

[Fupafighter]

Hundreds of people are randomly all over Vanadiel daily killing random mobs, either for trials, xp, fun, or aggro. Often does it result in a geode drop. Hundreds drop daily on each server. There doesn't need to be weather. This is an MMO, not a solo game. And a reason they can be bought. I'm basically quoting what the devs are thinking to themselves but cannot say. Devs "You're lazy and cheap, would you like some cheese with that wine?".

[RAIST]

That is how!

and again.. that chart is a limited sampling and doesn't completely reflect the weather patterns...fire was just in the forecast again for lightsday in altepa--for the fourth KNOWN time in this cycle during the first week of May.

That is 4 forecasts during the first week of May in game: 5/2, 5/3, 5/5, and 5/7---4 out of 6 days (or hours) with fire in the forecast. That chart only shows 1 instance near first and last weeks of the month for altepa and one mid May for the Cape, missing 3 instances right off the bat just for the month of May.

Again.... it follows a pattern, and if you put effort into tracking it....you can predict a lot of the times it will pop (to within a 1 RL hour window at best, one RL week window of high frequencey at worst). Over a week in advance, I knew ~20 seperate 58 minute windows during the past 9 days when weather would be in the forecast because I documented a section of the cycle and saw it repeating. Those instances started lining up with my notes as far back as 8/23 (RL Calendar).

Edit: I have two dates scribbled on the side... think they are for the next game year in the cycle. If that is true, fire will be in the forecast again for two lightsdays on Sept. 25--one lightsday starting around Midnight Eastern time, the next around 8 AM Eastern. Unfortunately, that's a Tuesday and not a good day for me...but if it was, I could check the forecast Monday night, perhaps hit it then, and/or hit it in the morning if I was up. That's almost a 2 week notice of two opportunities if those were in fact in line with the next game year for the cycle.

Back on subject, over the weekend, I got 6!!!!!! Flame geodes. Luck?

If it took you the entire weekend to get 6, that drip is extremely low compaired to the rest.

1.Fire-No Where
2.Earth-Mount Zhayolm/Altepa/Batallia/Eldimine Necropolis[S](Near Constant)
3.Water-Pashhow(Near Constant)/La Theine
4.Wind-Buburimu/Grauberg(Near Constant)
5.Ice-Beaucedine(Near Constant)/Xarcabard(Near Constant)/Uleguerand(Near Constant)
6.Thunder-Qufim(Near Constant)/Vunkerl
7.Light-Nyzul Isle(100%)
8.Darkness-Beaucedine/Xarcabard

You forgot one.
