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

[Karbuncle]

ITT: 3,850,000 is somehow a lot of gil.

While its not super Expensive for some players, for a lot of average joes, Thats a high amount. You also have to consider some players have to do Multiple, I personally have 4 Fire Weapons i want to complete... Axe, Sword, Katana, and Dagger.

Its roughly 16mil Gil to complete these, Which Is a tad silly, and absolutely out of reach for a lot of players, Who don't have great ways to make gil. While a lot of them could do Logwatch, the chance of them striking it rich in LogWatch is quite low, Even on good days most people will go 20~40+ Qilins or What have you without a HMpouch being seen.

You also have to consider a lot of players who chose Flame path over say, Relic, Or Empyrean, Are likely more casual players who don't get to play that often, and they view this as a tangible goal to reach, and the level 90 Weapons are actual decent in themselves.

So, While it may be easy for you and me, Our experiences aren't always the norm or the most common.

4 mil is not a high amount, unless you're sitting in your moghouse waiting for stuff to fall into your lap. Which is indeed the average joe approach, so you are right there. AJs are lazy.

Anyone can get that amount in a week, two if they are unlucky. Ofcourse, question remains if you can actually BUY that many of the AH even if you have the money.

Increasing droprates of geodes would help, but SE also needs to remove the geode recipes and/or replace them with avatarites. (Remove gems from geode HQ3, add them as avatarite HQ3) Otherwise goldsmiths just buy the geodes right from under your nose.
