I don't really get the argument that the fire trial weapons are worth 4-5 mil. If you got the finished product from scratch with no trials involved, sure that price seems reasonable. But it's for a single trial, and the only reason it's that expensive is because goldsmiths are buying them up to HQ them for mad profit. As others have said, if fire weather were any semblance of common geodes would probably still be the same price, however, people doing the trials could at least farm them in a reasonable time frame. If you've got gil to burn, by all means outbid the goldsmiths. But I think most people are just asking for the opportunity to farm up flame geodes just like you can for any other stupid element ever.
