Same with the Manticores--a ton of them in the Cape in a perfect level range, and it was not uncommon for me to find others there slaughtering them that would team up when I made my weapons.

Also... keep in mind if earth/wind weather is popping a lot, you can still sell those and flip them to flame--they frequently hit 20k each on my server. Granted, it's not a perfect 1:1 exchange, but it's not a complete loss if you get a lot of soil/breeze.
You totally ignored the fact that in those zones, weather other then fire is not only more common, but lasts longer as well. Also, I just did the manticore trial last week. Not one person, 7ish PM EST, was there for the manticores. Know where they were? Aby, where the mobs spawn faster, and you can kill them easier. Since you cannot rely on weather for these trials, OR farming geodes.

That is the point, which you, and so many others, have missed.
