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

[Fupafighter]

Lol at comparing an elemental magian to a mythic. Seriously you're not even trying.

You missed the point. I seriously don't believe SE would fix this precious flame geode dealio when they won't even fix the current alexandrite supply issue, and that has been an issue for years now. Right now, you have the option, you just aren't taking advantage of it, but people doing mythics can't even do that by themselves without the aid of others(and that's dedicated players too). There are enough in circulation, you just are too unwilling to buy the geodes. That's the issue. I wouldn't mind more geodes in circulation and a price drop on them, but do we need them and need to try to make a valid point to SE to change this so it will satisfy the noobs? No. Flat out. This is just sad that people waste the dev's time with nonsense like this.

Fixing alexandrite supply would likely take a bit more effort than fixing flame geode supply. Although admittedly, just increasing drop rates in NNI might do the trick.

No lol. They should just make the salvage requirements to 1 person. This way people could solo it daily. OR at least make linen pouches tradable via platinums off floor 100. There is no harm in this. Hell even making them drop in VW as rare slots would do alot. And for flame geodes, this isn't a serious issue. Atleast you can solo them. Or solo the gil efficiently. But seriously if you only play 1 hour a day, you can't expect them to change this for the 1% of people who do.

Wait, so Alexandrite should be made easy to obtain, but flame geodes should not? Why should Mythic seekers catch a break, but not normal players? Hell, let's all solo us some Mythics then! Screw geodes!

You can solo the gil for Alex too. What's your point?

Instead they should change Alex distribution for the 1% of people who are seriously after Mythics?

If most people are anything like me, they want a Mythic, but they are not willing to make one. I look at RDM Mythic and thing to myself, I can make that Mythic, and it would be awesome, but if I make that Mythic it will take me months of time for just Assaults, Einherjar, Salvage, and the rest, not to mention I would spend more on that alone than I would to buy 4 relics. Not to mention those Relics are for more than one job, I could go out and make a Rag, a Mandau, a Polearm for my DRG friend, and an Aegis, instead of my RDM Mythic, and at that, 5 of my jobs would benefit from it while one of my friends would as well even.

The reason why 1% of people are after Mythics, is because Mythics are mainly just not worth the effort and money for a single job alone. You could make 3 lv99 Emps, 3 lv99 Relics, 4 lv95 Relics, all of which might be usable by 1~3 jobs, but instead, you make a single Mythic for a single job.

Basically, 1% of people are after Mythics because Mythics are to much work to be worth it for that limited of a weapon. I can understand wanting both changed, because they both should be. Geodes have a problem in the form of weather where Fire weather was put in so few places with such a low appearance rate when compared to the others, and Alexandrites have a problem in the form of to low of supply & to high of requirement ending with a cost much to high to create one.

I was really just pointing out the glaringly obvious hypocrisy in his post. He wants his thing made easier while acting as though others are lazy for wanting the same. I think Alex requirements are impossibly stupid too. Don't get me wrong. I just don't see where it's so necessary to boost the circulation of them while ignoring the issues involving an item that far more players have use for.

Agreed. Sorry about that though, I have been somewhat tired for a few hours now so my brain isn't working at 100%.

It's not that I want it in supply more, it was the fact that I was trying to explain how you want one thing that you will probably never get. So many players want mythics to be made more obtainable, because in all reality, a years worth of farming for a small upgrade to their relic/empy counterparts is a little ridiculous, and SE has known this for years now. Yes years, as in 2 years. Asking them to change something that people can achieve in 2 days is just kinda pointless. Str magians are seriously really good. You should be using effort to get them. I personally would use 2x str dagger over my twashtar, because it's better. And the str daggers took less time to make. I'm sorry if you think I'm a hypocrite, or just plain stupid, but atleast I'm not being lazy asking for things that seriously don't need to adjusted so I can save some gil.

Wow, change every time you said 'geode' to 'alexandrite' in there and you have a pretty good response give or take some words here and there that have to come out.

Your post was just ignorant. There is no issue with the Alex supply other than it is not worth players time to go do Salvage. There are plenty of Alex out there for 18-25k that you are not willing to buy. I also know someone who has a mule and a random friend come warp-enter him into salvage so he can go solo it. He is under 2k alex away from finishing his Terp.

SE recently added Neo Nyzul which believe it or not is adding a good amount of alex into the system. The new salvage changes too will guarantee there is more than enough chance to bring alex into the system and acquire it.

Comparing geodes to alex is rather foolish.
