If SE is unwilling to make fire weather more common, it would be nice if the drop rate during days wasn't so bad that you completely waste about an hour trying.

That's just it. It's 100% a waste of time to bother farming it EVER, because you know that at most you might get 1 in an hour. In 1 hour I can make way more than the 80k gil required to pay for a flame geode.

Problem is that there's always so few on AH (partially thanks to them goldsmiths as well), as no one ever can farm for it; just if someone happens to pick one up on the rare occasion when that happens, it makes sense to put it on the AH for some free money. Also for the sake of the flame geode starved community.
